Find the Right Surface for Your Kitchen
Granite, quartz, quartzite or marble — each brings its own look, durability and care routine. Explore your options, then start your countertop project.
Material 1
Granite
- Look
- A natural stone with rich, one-of-a-kind patterns in deep blacks, golds, whites and grays. No two slabs are exactly alike.
- Durability
- Highly heat- and scratch-resistant, granite is a durable workhorse that stands up to busy Florida kitchens.
- Maintenance
- Periodic sealing keeps it looking its best. Wipe spills promptly and clean with mild soap and water.
Material 2
Quartz
- Look
- An engineered surface available in a wide range of consistent colors and patterns, including looks that mimic natural stone.
- Durability
- Extremely hard and non-porous, quartz resists stains and doesn't require sealing — a popular low-maintenance choice.
- Maintenance
- Easy daily cleaning with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals and high heat to protect the surface.
Material 3
Quartzite
- Look
- A natural stone prized for dramatic veining and crystalline sparkle, often in whites, blues and golds.
- Durability
- Harder than granite and very resistant to heat and scratching, quartzite is a premium option for active kitchens.
- Maintenance
- Like granite, it benefits from periodic sealing. Clean with mild soap and water and wipe spills promptly.
Material 4
Marble
- Look
- Timeless elegance with soft whites and distinctive gray veining — a classic look that elevates any kitchen.
- Durability
- Softer and more porous than other stones, marble can etch and scratch, so it develops a lived-in patina over time.
- Maintenance
- Requires regular sealing and gentle care. Wipe acidic spills immediately and use only pH-neutral cleaners.

Need help with sink and faucet disconnect/reconnect?
Plumbing help is optional.

The plumbing professional provides their own quote and performs the work directly. HomeProject Hub does not perform plumbing work.
