Quartz vs. Granite Countertops: Which is Right for Your NJ Home?

Quartz and granite are the two most popular countertop materials for NJ kitchens and bathrooms. Both are beautiful, durable, and add value to your home — but they have distinct differences that make one or the other a better fit for your lifestyle.

Quartz countertops are engineered from 90–95% natural quartz crystals bound with polymer resins. This manufacturing process creates a consistent, non-porous surface.
