Yes! Natural stone countertops are quite porous, and they will absorb liquids, which may result in discoloring and staining. Our company will seal all granite countertops after the installation process has been completed. The sealant penetrates the stone, making it quite impervious to alcohol, juices, soft drinks, cosmetics, cleaners, coffee, food, and oils. We only use high-quality sealants, and if taken care of properly, you will not need to reseal your countertops.
Most stone installations will require at least one or more seams, but we aim to use as few seams as possible for each project. During the design & layout of the countertops, we make it a priority to line up colors as to conceal the visibility of the seam and to place the seams in less conspicuous areas.

The cost of granite counters can vary a lot depending on the color, edge profile, and custom shapes used in the layout.

Polished granite is the most common and refers to the glossy, highly reflective appearance, and is the easiest to keep clean and maintain. In addition, a polished surface has a high luster and sheen that brings out the dramatic colors and rocky patterns of the stone. If nothing else is stated, then the surface of the granite is polished.
Honed granite countertops are smooth but less shiny than polished finishes and give your home a more natural, casual feel. One drawback of honed surfaces is that they are known to show stains more than others. But, don’t let this deter you from choosing a honed finish.
A leathered finish begins with a honed surface; then it is swept with diamond-tipped brushes. The result is between polished and honed. It has more sheen and is less porous than a honed finish.
Like any solid surface, high impact blows can harm granite. Because of its crystalline structure, it can chip if subjected to sharp hard objects. Unsealed, granite can absorb stains such as oil, which can ultimately cause dark spots or discoloration. Heat from pots and pans or burning liquids will not affect granite under normal circumstances.
