During a home viewing, seeing a granite countertop in the kitchen can seem like a major bonus. Known for exquisite beauty and quality, granite countertops add value to a home and can often excite potential homebuyers.

Pro: Appearance

Without a doubt, granite countertops look great and easily become the centerpiece of the kitchen. Granite is made of genuine natural stone that gives it a unique and beautiful appearance.

Con: Difficult to replace

If you do not like the colour, or can see yourself getting bored of it, it is important to know that granite countertops are very difficult to remove and replace. Ask yourself, will you be making any changes to the kitchen (i.e. cabinets and flooring). If the answer is yes, will your theme work with the existing granite countertop or will it need to be replaced?

Pro: Durable

Granite countertops are heat, scratch, and can be stain resistant when properly and regularly sealed.

Con: Regular Sealing Required

Since granite is porous, staining is a possibility without a proper sealer. It is often recommended that granite countertops be properly sealed yearly to avoid any possible stains. Although they are very durable, granite can crack or chip if a heavy object is ever dropped on it.

It is worth it?

With that being said, are granite countertops worth it to you? Are you prepared to maintain it every year with professional sealing? Even though all the cost and work has been done for you, as a buyer, you will likely be paying for that cost when you begin to negotiate on the home’s price.
