Need help with kitchen countertop options? Here's what you need to know about each style:

• Granite: Granite kitchen countertops are relatively budget-friendly and renowned for their ability to withstand heat, spills, knife marks, cracks and chips, and other typical wear. Because they’re made of natural stone, no two slabs are alike, allowing you to create a highly customized look. 
• Laminate: Laminate is a stain-resistant, cost-effective, low-maintenance countertop option available in a wide variety of colors, textures, and patterns. And while it’s highly stain-resistant, laminate is easily damaged by heat and sharp tools. Once damaged by heat or knives, it’s near impossible to repair.

• Marble: Marble iscelebrated for its timeless beauty and ability to deal with heat. However, it’s incredibly susceptible to stains, cracks, and chips, and is among the more expensive countertop options.
• Concrete: Concrete countertops are easy to customize, provide a modern look, and do well under heavy use. However, cracks can develop in concrete countertops over time, and it’s not particularly heat resistant. These countertops also stain easily if not sealed frequently.

Other kitchen countertops to discuss with the friendly team at Huber Lumber Co include quartz, butcher block, and solid surfacing options. Bring countertop samples home with you to determine what looks best with kitchen cabinets, and remember that dark countertops show crumbs and dust.
