(EstateNewsWire.com, August 02, 2012 ) South Lyon, MI -- For many homeowners, kitchen remodeling is something they will only want to do once. Painting is one thing, but new countertops are expensive and labor intensive, so most homeowners want them to last a lifetime. New granite countertops are a major investment in the home, while laminated countertops often are half the price and more readily available at local building supply companies. The drawback with laminate is that it will need to be replaced several times over the next 30 years.
A laminate countertop, professionally installed, may cost a home owner between $25 and $50 per square foot. This price also 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 for a complete installation. The good news here, is Surface Encounters (http://www.halfoffgranite.com/) has extended their limited time half-off granite special and they continue installing granite countertops for only $25 per square foot.
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 a professional installer like 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.
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.
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.
