we love the look of our granite...Quartz didn't do it for us. We got a fantastic price for kitchen and two baths from Minami In Ocala.

Granite. For sure. Previous poster mentioned it not having the heat resistance? Im not sure what they are talking about. We frequently put hot baking pans, sauce pans, etc directly on our granite. We've never had any issues.

I understand that you want the most current information available. Perhaps you've already done this - for research purposes, you might want to use the search button above to search for the word "granite". There have been many previous threads about granite and recommendations re dealers (and who not to use).

A friend of mine had his counter-tops done by Doc's Restoration and found them to be professional and was very satisfied with their work.

Cambria
 
We replaced our counter-tops that were quartz with Cambria quartz.

Check out the designs... So beautiful.. Made in the USA and a lifetime guarantee!

I actually got 12 estimates for the same counter-top, same design, etc. The estimates ranged from about $5,500 to $12,000. The place in Wildwood was one of the highest.

The gentleman who did it come highly recommended here on TOTV.

It depends on what you want - If you want solid - you want Quartz, not Granite. Depending on what type of Granite - you have to worry about scratches, etc. Also very expensive. Quartz is way more durable. HOWEVER, I will tell you to go with HD Laminate - it is Wonderful stuff and costs 1/3 of the other 2. And in 10 years, when Granite is out of style and people look at it like Harvest Gold and Avacado green carpet, you can replace it with something more stylish and not feel like you had to mortgage the future.
