Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
60
1. How much do new countertops cost in Tucson?
61

62

63
2. How long does the installation process take?
64
At Granite Kitchen & Bath, we pride ourselves on speed without sacrificing quality. Once we have created the template for your Countertops Tucson, our turnaround time for fabrication and installation is typically 7 to 10 business days.
65

66
3. Do I need to seal my granite countertops?
67
Yes, because granite is a natural, porous stone, it requires periodic sealing to prevent staining. However, modern professional-grade sealants can last several years. If you prefer a zero-maintenance option, we recommend Quartz Countertops Tucson.
68

69
4. Can I cut directly on my granite or quartz?
70
While both materials are incredibly hard, we always recommend using a cutting board. Cutting on granite can dull your knives, and cutting on quartz can potentially damage the resin binders in the stone.
71

72
5. Why should I choose a local fabricator over a big-box retailer?
73
Local Granite Fabricators Tucson offer personalized service and the ability to hand-select your specific slab. Big-box stores often use third-party contractors and "blind" slab selection, meaning you don't know exactly what your counter will look like until it arrives.
