I have granite countertops in my 7000 sq ft home for 16 years and I never seal my granite, they look as beautiful as from day 1.

What you said about Soapstone is correct, it scratches if you look at it funny. It's super simple to refinish though. A negative to quartz is that when it chips (and it does chip) it's harder for the stone repair to blend in. Granite and marble chip repairs are much easier to make hard to find.

Thank you for this video … we are in the process of choosing our countertop. I love that you incorporated two different colors (which is one of my thoughts). I will check out your recommendations. Thank you

Thank you for the informative video. We are currently remodeling our kitchen. I was set on quartz until we went to a stone yard. Now I am leaning towards granite. It is a little nerve wracking because it is such a big investment. I appreciate your honesty and how thorough your videos are.

This was very informative! I actually just ordered the granite for my new home today. We've always had Formica so I'm really excited for natural stone.

Yes, granite is a natural stone and it is quite durable, however, it is NOT harder/stronger than quartz (thanks to its polymer resins). Unlike quartz, granite is porous and bacteria could develop, and it can be susceptible to staining, unlike quartz. I have a food catering business at my home and my kitchen is a real workhorse, so I wanted the strongest countertop material I could find with the lowest maintenance, and that turned out be quartz.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Can you tell me the distance between the fridge and stove and does it affect the functions of either one. Also the distance between the island and the sink-side counter top? This is so much like the ideas I have in mind for my kitchen remodel. Again, just beautiful!!!😊

I love your back splash , I found one similar from Tile Bar it has a simmer to
it also I want to go with 3cm absolute black granite but I am wondering if it's too dated in looks ? What do you think?

Very helpful! And beautiful! What is the name of the Granite that you have on your island? And did you get 2 cm or 3 cm thickness?

I've recently heard multiple horror stories about white quartz countertops staining permanently from things like wine and water. Do you have any experience with this or any thoughts about it?

Why just knobs on the cabinets next to and above the refrigerator, when it appears all other cabinets and drawers have pulls?

Great video. Fortunately near us there is lots of granite and quartz available for much cheaper than your estimates. We just reserved arctic white granite for $22 a sq ft, plus $15 a square foot for install and five year sealer. Can't wait for them to be installed.

I was wondering why you chose granite only on your island?
