(EstateNewsWire.com, June 06, 2012 ) Saint Charles MO – New kitchen countertops are a major investment in the home so life expectancy and cost are both issues to consider when deciding what type of material is the best option. Granite countertops are generally more expensive than laminate; however, when compared, they are unmatched for quality, performance and longevity.
A professionally installed laminate countertop can cost between $25 and $50 per square foot. The price depends on the quality and design of the laminate. Granite countertops which are professionally installed can range from $50 to $100 dollars per square foot. Though twice the price, granite countertops will last a lifetime where the laminate countertops will need to be replaced in 5 to 10 years.
Surface Encounters (http://www.halfoffgranite.com/) is currently installing granite countertops for only $25.00 per square foot! That is the price of the cheapest laminate tops! Their half-off granite countertops special will be available for a limited time only, so area residents are placing their orders now.
For the do-it-yourselfer laminate sheets are readily available and easy to install for $5 to $10 dollars a square foot, 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 boasts 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 average cost of new granite countertops installation can range from $3500 to $5000 dollars and last a lifetime compared to laminate countertops 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 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.
Surface Encounters laser measuring technique allows them to leave the kitchen intact and functional while the new granite countertops are being created. Their wise investment in automated machinery ensures high-quality, perfectly finished granite countertops.
After thoughtful consideration, one can see that granite is superior compared to laminate as a material for countertops. The overall cost savings in the lifetime of the home using granite instead of laminate is greater, not to mention the value that beautiful granite countertops adds to the home. It is clearly the best choice. Visit http://www.granitecountertopssaintcharlesmo.com/ to learn more.
