What Maintenance Tips Can I Use to Extend the Life of My New Kitchen Countertop?
To extend the life of your new kitchen countertop, proper maintenance is key. For granite and marble countertops, it’s essential to regularly clean them with a mild, pH-balanced cleaner to prevent damage from harsh chemicals. Always wipe up spills promptly, especially acidic substances like vinegar or citrus, which can etch the surface. For granite, resealing every 1-2 years will help maintain its resistance to stains and moisture. Quartz countertops are non-porous, so they require less maintenance, but you should still clean them regularly and avoid placing hot pots or pans directly on the surface. Use trivets and cutting boards to prevent scratches.

How Long Does It Take to Install a New Countertop?
The time it takes to install a new countertop depends on several factors, including the material chosen, the complexity of the design, and the size of the kitchen. On average, a professional installation can take anywhere from 1 to 3 days. For materials like granite or quartz, the process includes templating, fabrication, and then the actual installation. Templating typically takes a day to ensure precise measurements, while fabrication can take several days depending on the complexity of the cut and edge design. Once the countertop is ready, installation usually takes a few hours.
