Building a new home and deciding what type of counter you should get? Renovating an existing space and looking for an upgrade? If so, consider that, according to Life Hacker, nearly 60% of potential home buyers prefer granite or natural stone countertops. By working with the right granite countertop company, you can add value to your home while creating a space that everyone will enjoy. Let's look at some factors to consider when evaluating granite countertop companies.

They Offer High-Quality Products

At the end of the day, the quality of the countertop is the paramount factor. Not all natural stone countertops are crafted equally, in our experience. Some companies simply use higher-quality materials, better manufacturing processes, and better equipment than others. You'll want to make sure that the countertop manufacturer or reseller offers the highest quality products.

They Provide Free Quotes

We believe the best companies offer free quotes. This way, you can evaluate the financial investment before deciding which company to select. If the provider is asking for upfront fees simply to provide a quote, it could suggest that their products and services don't stand on their own merit. It's probably best to move on to companies that provide a free quote.

They Have a Long Track Record

In competitive markets, companies that don't offer good services and products for a fair price can quickly be pushed out of the market. Of course, good companies will enter the market and may eventually establish themselves. However, as a consumer, the security provided by a long and successful track record is hard to ignore.

Their Employees Are Experienced and Skilled

We believe the best companies have the best employees. If you're hiring a granite countertop installation company, you'll want to make sure that the installers have ample experience and training. Less experienced members might be on the team, but they should have plenty of training and should be overseen by talented managers and senior team members.

They Provide Excellent Customer Service

The best companies go out of their way to ensure that customers are well taken care of, in our experience. Should problems arise or if customers have feedback or concerns, communication should be prompt and straightforward. As such, it's a smart idea to check out customer reviews on social media websites and elsewhere, and you should pay extra close attention to customer service.
