Not All Countertoips are Created Equal
Many countertop materials prioritize short-term trends or lower upfront costs over long-term durability.
At DuBois Granite & Quartz, we specialize in premium surfaces that are designed to perform for years to come. We help homeowners compare granite, quartzite, and quartz based on:
durability
maintenance
lifestyle
design goals
long-term value
Because the right countertop should do more than look good—it should hold up to real life.

Granite countertops are mined from pure stone. The stone is sawn into slabs or cut into tiles, then polished for installation. Quartz countertops are manufactured from crushed quartz, mixed with pigment for coloration and resin as a binder. The quartz content is typically 92% to 94%.
Both types have their strong point. Granite shows slight, natural variations in hue. Colors range from earth tones to blues, greens, and roses. The coloration of quartz is more consistent, and it is available in a wider array of colors because pigments are added to the quartz.
While natural granite is strikingly beautiful, it needs to be sealed at installation and resealed regularly. DuBois Granite & Quartz uses an impregnator and zeta seal. With proper care and maintenance, seals may last 20+ years before needing resealing. Quartz doesn’t require this level of care.
