If you're considering upgrading to a stone countertop, feel free to visit our showroom to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of granite with our knowledgeable staff. Bostonian Design Group's commitment to customer satisfaction means that we strive to match our customers with the ideal product for their needs. While natural stone countertops are generally considered more prestigious than engineered stone countertops, granite does have some disadvantages in comparison with quartz or Corian:

Advantages

• Granite is a hard stone, making it exceptionally durable as well as heat and scratch resistant. With granite countertops, you don't even need to use a cutting board when you're chopping vegetables: you won't hurt the granite surface at all, although your knives will likely be dulled.
• Granite naturally forms under centuries of heat and pressure so no two pieces of this stone are ever identical. Since granite slabs are literally one-of-a-kind, you get a truly unique countertop. Many homeowners prefer this uniqueness to the uniformity of engineered stone.
• Because home buyers prefer natural stone countertops, granite typically adds more value to your home than quartz or Corian.

Disadvantages

• Granite is a relatively porous stone, so it must be sealed to resist stains. While applying the sealant is a simple process and does not need to be done frequently, some people consider this a drawback.
• Granite is an expensive material; cost can be mitigated by choosing a granite tile countertop in place of a slab granite countertop, but many people consider a quartz or Corian countertop better value.
