Yes, new countertops can add value to your home. Upgrading to high-quality, aesthetically pleasing countertops enhances the overall appearance and functionality of your kitchen or bathroom, which are key areas that potential buyers often prioritize. Modern, durable materials like granite, quartz, or marble can make your home more attractive and can be a selling point that justifies a higher asking price. Additionally, new countertops can provide a strong return on investment, especially in competitive real estate markets where buyers are looking for move-in-ready homes.

The best material for countertops depends on your specific needs and preferences. Granite is popular for its natural beauty and durability, while quartz offers a non-porous surface that’s resistant to stains and scratches. Marble adds a luxurious touch, but it requires more maintenance due to its porous nature.

Yes, many countertops can be repaired if damaged, though the ease and success of repairs depend on the material. For example, small chips or scratches in granite or quartz can often be filled with epoxy or resin and then polished to blend with the rest of the surface.
