There are a number of things to consider when selecting a countertop surface for your kitchen. If granite is at the top of your list, then to help you make a decision. Here's the easy pros and cons Below to decide if its advantages and disadvantage make it a reasonable choice for your beloved home.
Right from the start, what many would consider a con: granite can be expensive. Natural stones like granite are certainly not the most budget-friendly countertop material. On the other hand, the almost life-time investment Granite is one of the most reliable and long-lasting countertops you can pick for your home.
So there's really no pro or con. You get what you're willing to pay for. To prevent stains and bacterial growth granite needs to be sealed regularly, and even if this a con in the stone world, most manufactures will apply a sealer to granite countertops before they are installed which will protect them from absorbing liquids too quickly.

Our fast, efficient service is driven by a need to provide our customers with tailor-made and customised solutions whilst ensuring strong quality values.
Granite is one of the most beautiful surfaces there is with it's nearly endless variety of patterns, speckles, and swirls. Granite is heat resistant, and its almost diamond-like strength protects it from scratches and stains from hot pots and pans. It also protects against mold and mildew, something wooden countertops cannot do.
The rest consists of resins and pigments. The pigments are what make these slabs customizable - you can find some manufacturers with a wide array of color options because of this. The resin acts as a sealant, which removes it porous state. This, in turn, makes quartz countertops immune to all sorts of destruction, including scratches, stains, and burns.

Outstanding experience at MQG! We used MQG to replace the counters in our kitchen. Selma & staff were incredibly professional yet relaxed and friendly. Selma listened to what I was looking for and used her expertise to guide me to the best stone to meet my style needs. The finished product was breathtaking!!!! I can't say enough good things about MQG & I am a very picky customer...the price, the quality & professionalism of the staff, the fast installation, the professionalism & service during templating & install was top notch. Highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to avoid driving

It was a pleasure working with Maryland Quartz & Granite on our kitchen project. The entire team was very professional. Matt, in sales, was very upfront and honest during the process. He even reached out after not hearing from me for a few days. I'm sure glad he did, too. We ended up going with this local, family-run business for our new counters. The team that measured for our counters was very thorough and precise. They even offered a few suggestions at that time to make the most out of our new kitchen design. The installation team was also great to work with as well. They answered questions
