All homeowners planning a Charlotte kitchen remodel desire only the best. Unfortunately, the majority are unable to afford the very best of every kitchen component and so settle on prioritizing what components to sink major dollars into and what components to let slide. A general rule regarding kitchens is those features which will receive the heaviest use are the items on which the homeowner should not skimp.

Countertops and appliances, of course receive the heaviest use and should never be overlooked. The most prominent feature which draws the most attention of any kitchen is always the countertop. There is almost an endless selection of sizes, shapes, colors, and materials to choose from when countertops are involved.

Granite is the premier material for kitchen counter applications. Shapes, style, and finish vary and can be altered to the homeowner's desire. There are an almost unlimited range of colors and choices with granite due to being 100% natural stone. Granite is naturally resistant to stain, heat, scratching, and other blemishes. No two granite countertops are the same in the entire world.

Extracting granite from quarries is a complex and dangerous task requiring the use of explosives, industrial cranes, and cutting machines. Granite stone requires highly skilled craftsmen to shape and safely handle granite or any other natural stone. Except for diamonds, sapphires, topaz, and rubies, which are highly impractical for use in a kitchen, no other material is harder than granite. For this reason alone, highly specialized industrial machining is necessary to cut and work with the granite.
