(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 10, 2012 ) Greenwood, IN – When remodeling the kitchen, homeowners have discovered that laminate countertops cost less and are much quicker and easier to install than the popular granite countertops. While laminated countertops often are half the price and more readily available at local building supply companies, granite countertops are still a much better value in the long run.
Depending on the quality and design, a laminate countertop, professionally installed, cost about $25 to $50 per square foot. Professionally installed granite countertops can range from $50 to $100 dollars per square foot. Surface Encounters is the exception to the rule as they extend their half-off granite countertops special which is only $25 per square foot, installed.
For the do-it-yourselfer laminate sheets are readily available and easy to install quite cheap, however these laminates often have a short life span and will need to be replaced long before granite countertops. Granite countertops are considered a one-time investment when purchased from the professional installers at Surface Encounters.
Granite, a natural stone, is a very hard and durable material that has the reputation of lasting forever. It is stain resistant, heat tolerant and holds its natural luster indefinitely. “Granite often out lives the homeowner compared to laminates which are usually replaced every ten years,” notes one installer. Armed with this knowledge it becomes easy to see why granite countertops are the better value in the long run.
The cost of an average granite countertops installation ranges from $3500 to $5000 dollars and last a lifetime compared to laminate countertop which cost $1800 to $2500 but only lasts for 10 years. To the homeowner, this means one will spend a third more on laminate countertops in their thirty years of homeownership.
Along with the added expense of replacing laminate countertops numerous times, there is also the inconvenience of leaving oneÂ’s self with a kitchen or bathroom that is inoperable during the remodeling process. Often changing or updating countertops for an average kitchen can become a two or three week process depending on the contractor.

It is clearly the best choice. Visit http://www.granitecountertopsgreenwoodindiana.com/ to learn more.
