There are few things more exciting than being able to use a newly remodeled kitchen or bath for the first time, with the possible exception of the actual reveal of those rooms once the contractor has deemed them fit for folks to behold. The look on people’s faces when they see how beautiful their new granite counter tops turn out once those counters have been put into place is nothing short of amazing. However, helping the customer get to this point can be a difficult job, especially when they aren’t certain that stone counters are the best possible option for their home.
People often begin their remodeling projects with a specific vision in mind and this vision includes the textures they want to see all around them. This includes the tiles on the floors and the materials used on the counter tops. At the beginning of this job many of these people plan on using man made counter tops because they have some serious misunderstandings about using stone surfaces for a kitchen countertop in Wisconsin.
One of those misguided beliefs is the myth that granite cannot be repaired if it ever gets scratched. Of course, many granite surfaces are very durable and granite is a dense rock which is difficult to damage, but accidents can happen. Should your stone counter manage to get a scratch, granite installers like Stone Innovations can easily remove the damage making your counter look like the problem was never even there. Another myth which haunts the granite industry is how often granite must be sealed. This may actually depend on the granite supplier, but most companies use a sealing product which provides their granite with a lifetime seal so their customers never need to worry about this particular problem.
Selecting the granite to match your new decor can be a bit overwhelming. The array of colors is so amazingly huge that selecting the right shade isn’t hard, just determining which color palate you want to use winds up being the biggest problem. Unfortunately, no contractor can help with this type of problem because color choices are strictly the realm of the homeowner and definitely a matter of personal taste.
