Frequently Asked Questions
How long do granite countertops last?
With basic care, 50+ years — granite is heat-resistant, scratch-resistant, and when sealed, stain-resistant. It's one of the best long-term surfaces you can put in a Modesto home.
Do granite countertops need sealing?
Yes — we seal every installation, and most granites should be resealed every 1–3 years depending on use. It takes minutes; we show you how at the walkthrough.
Can granite crack or chip?
Granite is extremely durable but not invincible — severe impact on an unsupported edge can chip it. Proper support and installation prevent most issues, which is exactly what professional installation buys you.
Granite vs. quartz — which should I pick?
Granite is natural and unique slab to slab, handles heat slightly better, and needs periodic sealing. Quartz is engineered, consistent, and sealing-free. We install both — compare on our countertops page or ask during your consultation.
How long does installation take?
Template day one, fabrication about 7–10 days, installation usually a single day. Roughly 2–3 weeks start to finish for most Modesto kitchens.
