What is the difference between granite and quartz countertops?
Granite is a natural stone cut from quarries, while quartz countertops are engineered from natural quartz mixed with resins for added strength and consistency. Granite offers unique, one-of-a-kind patterns, while quartz provides a uniform look and higher stain resistance.Do I need to seal my granite or quartz countertops?
Countertops with granite require sealing to protect against staining. At Heartland Granite & Quartz Countertops, we use a 25-year sealant. Quartz countertops are nonporous and therefore do not require sealing.Do you remove and dispose of old countertops?
Yes - Heartland Granite & Quartz provides removal and disposal of your existing countertops as part of the installation process, for an additional fee. This ensures a clean, hassle-free upgrade.How do I maintain and clean my countertops?
Daily cleaning with mild soap and water is usually enough for most types of countertops. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads. For granite, use a pH-neutral stone cleaner to protect the seal.What edge profiles do you offer for countertops?
