Thinking about spiffing up the kitchen a bit? New countertops can help! As Ainslie mentioned in her previous post, granite is a great choice for new countertops. However, granite, marble, limestone and soapstone are all formed inside the earth under enormous amounts of heat and pressure. They are resilient, but porous and therefore susceptible to stains and bacteria. Sealing and re-sealing is the answer unless you buy pretreated versions. Prices for stone surfaces typically start at $35-$75/square foot and then increase based on availability, degree of detailing and complication of installation. Not a do it yourself project!
