Remodeling your kitchen or bathrooms is one of the best ways to improve your home’s value. In addition, a modernized kitchen or bath can give you a high return on your investment.

Your kitchen and bath are the most popular rooms in your home. Children sit at the kitchen counter doing homework while you cook dinner. Your friends and family gather around the kitchen as you prepare a festive meal. Everyone must visit your bathroom at one point and you want a room that reflects your tastes.

If you are considering remodeling your kitchen or bath, adding natural stone can increase your home value even more.

Granite countertops add a sophisticated look to your kitchen or bathroom. They are extremely durable, resistant to scratches and cracks. Granite counters must be sealed periodically, but as long as they are, the surface is non-porous, resistant to bacteria. This keeps your family safe and protected as you prepare their food.

No two slabs of granite are the same so larger countertops may have noticeable differences, but many homeowners like the variety in the veining. Never use abrasive cleansers on granite counters. You can clean them with mild soap and warm water using a soft cloth.

If you prefer a more uniform look to your counters, consider installing engineered stone countertops. Because they are manufactured using crushed quartz mixed with resins and coloring, all slabs are the same.

They are also available in more colors than other types of natural stone. The counters contain more than 90 percent quartz, so they are considered natural stone. They are not as heat-resistant as other types of stone, however, so be sure to use trivets and hot pads under pans removed directly from the stove.

Marble adds a timeless beauty to any room in your home, but especially kitchens and baths. Marble flooring can turn your bathroom into beautiful spa with a steam shower, whirlpool tub and heated towel racks.

Marble countertops are softer than other types of stone, so you need to use cutting boards at all times. Never store oils on the counters and wipe up any acidic materials like coffee or wine to avoid staining.
