Easy Maintenance
Now and then, however, granite will suffer some damage. What if a large cast iron skillet drops on it and chips it?

They can then reseal the stone to protect it from future spills. Your small blemish can be fixed quickly.
Perfectly Flat
Granite countertops are perfectly flat. That means there are a whole host of recipes that can be kneaded, rolled, pressed, folded and molded on your countertop. The fact that they are so flat adds a lot of value to a home where baking is a passion.
Granite countertops are not the cheapest option when it comes to kitchen countertops. They are, however, an excellent option if you are looking an attractive, durable, low maintenance countertop. Granite has the potential to outlast most other materials used in the home.
