These problems are resolved by replacing them right away:

It can be accomplished with a smooth, light-colored quartz. Want to stay warm? It is possible with a rich, veined granite.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long does it usually take to replace a countertop?
Depending on the material and complexity, replacing a countertop takes a different amount of time. Installation usually takes one to two days after the old countertops are taken out and the new ones are made. Depending on fabrication schedules and material availability, the entire process from template to final installation may take one to three weeks.
How does quartz differ from granite in terms of maintenance?
Porosity is the primary distinction. Because granite is a naturally occurring porous stone, it needs to be sealed occasionally (usually once a year) to avoid discoloration. Because quartz is a non-porous, engineered material, it is extremely stain-resistant and requires very little upkeep—just a daily wash with mild soap and water.
