Granite is natural stone, unique and beautiful. Quartz is engineered, very durable and low maintenance. Both are great choices for a kitchen. The best option depends on your style and how you use your kitchen.
Generally, quartz can be comparable in price to mid-range granite. High-end granite can cost more than quartz. Prices vary based on the specific slab and complexity of the installation. We offer free quotes to give you exact pricing for your project.
