Unsealed granite is more susceptible to staining and other damage. Regularly sealing your granite countertops decreases the chances you’ll need to repair damaged countertops in the future. It also keeps it looking shiny rather than becoming dull over time. You can check whether your granite needs resealing by putting a few drops of water on the counter and waiting 15 minutes to see whether the water permeates the surface.

Bluestone patios can last anywhere from 50 to 100 years. Exactly how long your patio lasts depends on factors like how well the pavers or slabs were installed, soil conditions, and maintenance.
