Granite countertops can last a lifetime. It contains no harmful chemicals and do not emit harmful radiation or gasses. Granite is heat resistant and is one of the most heat-resistant countertops on the market. You can place a hot pan out of the oven directly onto the countertop surface. Experts do recommend the use of a trivet when using appliances that emit heat for long periods of time, such as crockpots. Since the material is so dense, there is a small possibility heating one area of the top and not the entire thing, could cause the countertop to crack.
Granite is scratch resistant. You can cut on it, but it will dull your knives! Granite scores a seven on Moh’s hardness scale.
Granite countertops are considered to be a low maintenance countertop surface. The likelihood of needing to be repaired or resurfaced is low. Granite is a porous material. Most fabricators will apply a sealer to granite countertops before they are installed which will protect them from absorbing liquids too quickly. Many sealers last more than 10 years before needing to be reapplied. When they do need to be reapplied, it is something that most homeowners can do on their own as the process is similar to cleaning. Darker granites are very dense and sometimes don’t even require a sealer.
When it comes to pricing, there are a lot of variables such as edge profile, total square footage, backsplash, etc. Don’t be fooled by the stereotype that all granite is expensive. Lower-range granites will cost less than high-range laminate. Though granite countertops are not considered “low range” in pricing, there are a lot of affordable options.
If you are looking for something truly unique, consider an exotic granite. Some quarries are not easily accessible and/or only able to be quarried for short periods of time throughout the year. If these circumstances exist in a quarry with gorgeous stone, the price will be driven upward
You won’t find a lot of solid patterns or bright colors, but both do exist. Also, watch for a large range of color and pattern within the same color of stone. It’s always a good idea to view the exact slab(s) that will be fabricated for your kitchen to make sure they are what you expected to see from the sample. Another factor is that many exotic types of granite have huge flowing waves, and a small sample will not be an accurate representation of the whole slab.
Granite countertops are very resistant to chemicals. Acids and bases will not harm the material.
Granite GranniesAntique Brown Granite (actually looks black) on white cabinets along the walls and Millennium Cream Granite on the espresso island cabinets. The clients wanted seating at the island without sacrificing any of the walkway, so we used a concave radius to create a breakfast area. The edge profile is Extreme Bevel (1" Bevel).

Granite GranniesThis is Typhoon Bordeaux Granite, an elegant, Brazilian stone. We ran the stone right up the wall for the full backsplash and used little curves in the design to accentuate the rich burgundy swirls in the pattern. An ogee edge ties into the decorative details of the cabinetry. The beautiful wood floors were done by the clients, who own Gideon's Wood Floors in Lothian, MD.

Granite GranniesThis stone is Super White. It's actually a close relative of granite, quartzite (a natural stone not to be confused with the man-made "quartz"). The homeowner wanted marble in their kitchen, but they wanted the no-hassle care and durability of granite. We searched the market and found this stone, which is actually harder than granite.
