Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning
Wipe down with a soft cloth and warm water with mild dish soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the sealant.
Sealing
Reseal your granite countertops every 12-18 months to maintain stain resistance. We provide sealing instructions and recommended products with every installation.
Stain Prevention
Clean up spills promptly, especially acidic substances like wine, lemon juice, or vinegar. Use coasters under glasses and trivets under hot cookware.
Avoid Impact
While granite is extremely hard, avoid dropping heavy objects on edges or corners. Use cutting boards to protect both your knives and the surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do granite countertops last?
With proper care and maintenance, granite countertops can last a lifetime — often 50+ years. They are one of the most durable natural stone options available and one of the best investments you can make in your home.
Do granite countertops need to be sealed?
Yes, we recommend sealing granite every 12-18 months. We seal all countertops during installation and provide care instructions for ongoing maintenance. Sealing takes about 15 minutes and protects against stains and bacteria.
Can granite countertops crack?
Granite is extremely hard and resistant to cracking under normal use. Cracks typically only occur from significant impact or improper installation — which is why professional installation matters. Our team ensures proper support and seam placement.
How long does granite installation take?
Most granite countertop installations are completed in one day. The full process from template to installation typically takes 5-7 business days. We work around your schedule to minimize disruption.
How much do granite countertops cost in Kansas City?
Granite countertop pricing varies based on the slab color, edge profile, and kitchen layout. At KC Cabinetry & Stone, we offer competitive pricing because we source directly and fabricate in-house. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your specific project.
Is granite better than quartz for kitchen countertops?
Both are excellent choices. Granite offers unique natural beauty — no two slabs are alike — and superior heat resistance. Quartz offers more uniform patterns and requires no sealing. We carry both and can help you decide which is best for your lifestyle and budget.
Can I put hot pans directly on granite?
Yes! Granite is highly heat resistant and can handle hot pots and pans directly on the surface without damage. However, we recommend using trivets as a best practice to protect the sealant and keep your countertops looking their best for decades.
