Granite is natural stone mined from quarries all around the world, cut into slabs, transported and polished. While very hard as a natural stone, it is porous and risks staining, so it needs protection with a sealer. Reapplication of sealers depends on the sealer used and the chemicals it comes in contact with during daily use (acids will deteriorate sealers). Granite is a precious resource that has been used in construction for thousands of years. Dark granite is naturally more dense than light granite and thus is more stain resistant.
Quartz is the most abundant and hardest mineral on Earth. Quartz countertops are a man-made product using 95 percent natural quartz crystals. These crystals are mined, ground and polished into small grains, then added to polymer resins, pressed and baked in ovens producing quartz slabs in a variety of colors and designs.
Originally developed in Italy in the early 1960’s, quartz tops hit the American market by storm in the 1990’s and have no sign of slowing. Quartz tops are as hard if not harder than granite, but are naturally more stain resistant (less porous), and require less maintenance.
On average, granite tops can be more economical than quartz. However, several factors impact the cost. Quartz prices will vary by company based on their manufacturing processes, slab sizes and characteristics. Size of the project, seam locations and characteristics such as veining in the slab will also impact the project cost, so each project should be carefully designed.
Choosing granite vs. quartz is a personal preference, and all factors, including cost, characteristics and maintenance should be considered to ensure the best product is used for the project.

“J&J did such an amazing job with our remodel project. Our project involved removal of a wall to open the floor plan, re-wiring the kitchen, adding recessed lighting, re-flooring nearly the entire house and installing new kitchen cabinets and counters. Dawn directed the entire job, and, after listening to what we were looking for, narrowed our choices. The number of options, otherwise, was overwhelming. The final product turned out fantastic and even under budget. We plan to re-model our bathrooms next, and J&J will certainly be involved.” — Matthew & Heather Ricks
