We remodeled our kitchen here in Baltimore two years ago and got granite and I really like it but is expensive. I found it's not all one price, our dealer had 7 levels of granite and we picked a middle #4 granite, it was a very popular design and cost us $3600 for a 10'x3' island plus about 12' of countertops. I wouldn't hesitate using granite in the kitchen again once we make our move to TV.

Granite requires sealing on a periodic basis as well. Quartz does not.
