Quartz vs. Granite Countertops: Which Is Right for Your Kitchen?

Countertops are the centerpiece of any kitchen, and two of the most popular materials are quartz and granite. Both are durable and elegant, but they offer different benefits. Quartz Countertops: Engineered stone made with natural quartz and resin. Non-porous, so it resists stains and bacteria. Available in a wide range of consistent colors and patterns. Low-maintenance — no sealing required. Granite Countertops: 100% natural stone, each slab is unique. Extremely heat-resistant and durable. Requires periodic sealing to prevent stains. Adds natural character and timeless appeal. Which One Should You Choose? Quartz offers a modern, low-maintenance option perfect for busy families. Granite appeals to those who love natural beauty and individuality. Both add value to your home, and Shay Homes proudly offers premium selections of each for our custom builds.
