Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our granite countertops here.

Yes. Granite is one of the hardest natural stones, making it highly resistant to scratches, heat, and daily wear. You can place hot pans directly on granite without damaging the surface, and its hardness helps protect against knife marks (though knives may dull). With proper sealing, granite is also resistant to stains and bacteria, making it a long-lasting choice for busy kitchens.

Granite is naturally porous, so sealing is recommended to protect the surface from absorbing liquids and stains. Once sealed, the countertop becomes nearly non-porous, making it easy to clean and maintain. Most fabricators suggest resealing every few years, depending on the color, finish, and how often the surface is used.

With proper care, granite countertops can last more than 100 years. They are one of the most durable natural stone surfaces available, capable of withstanding heat, pressure, and everyday use. Choosing professional fabrication and installation ensures the stone’s beauty and performance are preserved for decades.

"I have been so pleased with Ashcraft. Lynda's customer service is exceptional. Ashcraft worked with me over a year long period helping me decide between granite and marble as well as showing me new selections when they came in. I feel like they understood what I wanted for my house and the granite really sets everything off. When it came time to cut the granite they had us in the shop to look everything over to make sure we were maximizing the look the veins in the granite. They went over and beyond for me. I highly recommend them based on customer service and price!"
