do I need new granite countertops

Mar 16 2020

Do I Need New Granite Countertops?

Beautiful granite countertops can be the centerpiece of any kitchen or bathroom. But after years of use and abuse, even granite can begin to look worn, dull, and scratched. And although granite is stain-resistant, years of spills can take their toll.

Luckily, there are many options for making your old granite countertops shine like new. If you have been wondering, “Do I need new granite countertops?” you have many options. And GranitePro is here to help with all of them.

Do I Need New Granite Countertops?

The fact that you have been asking, “Do I need new granite countertops?” shows that you should reach out to someone. But the real question is whether replacement or some other kind of maintenance is in order.

There are a handful of basic routes that you can take if your granite countertops are not at their best. These are:

  • Polishing your countertops
  • Resealing your countertops
  • Repairing your countertops
  • Replacing your countertops

Using one of the first three of these techniques may give your granite a “brand new” appearance that it has been lacking. But if it is too damaged, you may need to replace them altogether.

Polishing Your Granite Countertops

Sometimes the answer to the question, “Do I need new granite countertops?” is that they just need polishing. In this instance, when we refer to “polishing,” we do not mean using a cleaning product that might be called a “polish.” Instead, we are referring to a product or procedure that removes a thin layer of granite.

This removal can be managed with a range of products that may be either wet or dry. When done correctly, polishing can make your granite countertops feel as good as new.

Resealing Your Granite Countertops

Sealing or resealing your granite countertop ensures that they are not porous. This means that your countertops will not absorb any liquid, which is essential as liquid can lead to stains. There is a simple test you can do yourself to test whether you need to reseal your countertops.

Sprinkle a few drops of water on your countertop. If, after a few minutes, any of the water appears to have been absorbed, you may need resealing. Resealing, like polishing, can rejuvenate your old countertops, and add years of life.

Repairing or Replacing Your Granite Countertops

A handful of adventurous homeowners opt to polish or even reseal their countertops themselves. But in more complex cases, there are visible cracks in granite countertops. Even more dire situations, there are problems at the joints of your countertops, or where they meet the wall or an appliance. In these cases, it is always recommended that you hire professionals. Experts like the countertop specialists at GranitePro will be able to assess the damage immediately. They will also be able to tell you specifically whether you need repair work or to replace your countertops.
