"We were 100% satisfied with ZK Stone Restoration. Very professional. Explained what needed to be done and the time needed to do the work. He restored our honed stone in a shower and floor in a bathroom and it looks like new again. Also did a great job cleaning and sealing our kitchen and laundry room granite after doing repairs to seams and rough spots. Would definitely recommend them."

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

The standard kitchen counter size is typically between 24 to 25 inches wide and 25 to 26 inches deep. Wider countertops are also common, with widths of 30 to 36 inches among the most popular choices. Note that these are just general guidelines, and there is flexibility to custom the size of countertops to suit individual needs and the space.

Granite countertops cost an average of $3,250 compared to $2,250 for tile countertops. Granite is also harder to DIY than tile, given its weight and bulk, which increases the overall labor cost of installation. Over time, both types of countertops may need sealing to remain resistant to water, heat, and other common kitchen elements.

Mitered edge countertops are usually 2 to 2.5 inches thick. The thickness accounts for the 45-degree angle required to form a seamless corner, resulting in a dramatic and thick-edged appearance.

Fortunately, there are many types of heatproof countertops. Granite, quartzite, concrete, and stainless steel are all fiery contenders. These surfaces work best in busy kitchens where hot pots, pans, and baking sheets are part of the daily routine. Plus, their durability means you get a long-lasting work surface that won’t flinch at a bit of heat or heavy use. However, many stone and concrete counters require a sealer, which is typically not heatproof.

Granite is one of the most popular options for countertops, and most homeowners believe that granite countertops are worth the money. Granite is more affordable than marble and quartz, and provides outstanding durability and longevity. Granite countertops are also desirable because they are entirely unique; unlike some other countertop materials, your granite slab won’t be identical to any others. Granite is porous, which means it has the potential to stain if you don’t clean up spills quickly, but the general durability and relatively low cost make it well worth the investment.
