Q: Is it okay to put hot pans on granite?

• <div><p>Yes, you can generally put hot pans directly on a granite countertop without worrying about cracking, as it is a durable, heat-resistant stone that can withstand high temperatures. However, it is still highly recommended to use a trivet or hot pad as a precaution. Prolonged or repeated exposure to high heat can potentially cause discoloration or damage the countertop's sealant, making it more susceptible to staining. Additionally, the heat from a pan can transfer to the granite, creating a burn hazard for anyone who touches the surface shortly after.</p></div>

Q: Are quartz countertops better than laminate?

• <div><p>There are several significant differences between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/laminate-vs-quartz-countertops.htm">laminate and quartz countertops</a>. Quartz is much pricier than laminate but can last for decades, while laminate lasts around 15 years. Laminate can&rsquo;t be repaired or resealed and is easier to damage than quartz, which can be repaired. Both quartz and laminate are prone to heat damage. Usually, the choice comes down to your budget. </p></div>

Q: How often should granite countertops be sealed?

• <div><p>The frequency for sealing granite countertops depends on several factors, including the type of sealant used, the color of the granite, and how heavily the countertops are used. As a general guideline, resealing is often recommended every 12 to 18 months, but some sources suggest it could be as often as every few months or at least once a year.</p><p>The type of sealant is a major factor: water-based sealants may need reapplication every six months to a year, while more durable solvent-based sealants can last for five to 10 years. Additionally, factors like heavy kitchen traffic, frequent use of acidic cleaners, and lighter granite colors may require more frequent sealing to prevent staining.</p><p>To determine if your countertops need resealing, you can perform a simple water test. Place a few drops of water or a wet paper towel on an inconspicuous area of the granite. After 10 to 15 minutes, check the spot. If the water has beaded up, the seal is still intact. If the water has been absorbed and darkened the stone, it's time to apply a new coat of sealant. You can choose to seal the granite yourself or hire a professional to ensure it's done correctly.</p></div>

Q: Is onyx good for a countertop?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/onyx-countertops-pros-and-cons.htm">Onyx countertops have pros and cons</a>. If you seal it properly and take care not to damage it, it can make a good countertop surface. However, it's more often used in bathrooms, where it&rsquo;s less likely to sustain damage. Having an onyx kitchen countertop is possible, but you&rsquo;ll need to take extra care not to burn, stain, or otherwise damage the material.</p></div>

Q: How long do recycled glass countertops last?

• <div><p>Recycled glass countertops can last between 10 and 20 years with regular care and maintenance. The exact lifespan depends on the binding agent used; acrylic is a highly durable choice, while concrete may shorten the countertop's life. Because the material is non-porous, it is heat-resistant, stain-resistant, and easy to clean, allowing it to withstand the rigors of a modern kitchen without showing significant wear and tear for over a decade.</p></div>

Hello, My name is Dereck \n I've been in remodeling business for 18 years. Family oriented type of guy. Parents started a company when I was Little. Learned a lot from my dad on remodeling.\n There's really nothing that I'm not capable of doing for you in your home inside or out.\n Have a great work ethic and also I like to think about the customer because a lot of times big contractors just rip a customer off and I don't like that. I like to give high quality work at low price.

"Came promptly at the time of appointment. Two men came in and discussed the leveling of my countertop for a while. The two slabs had become uneven above my dishwasher for some reason. I assume it's from my kids sitting there to reach the cups and it's located at a heavily used area. They leveled it. Drilled out the old seam and filled it back in.. Friendly and courteous. The price was significantly less than other companies. The other companies quoted us almost a third of what we paid originally to have it installed! In and out in about an hour. I would definitely recommend and use again. My husband was happy with the work and the price. Thank you!!!"
