Granite: A short survey

If you are thinking of remodeling your kitchen or bathroom or you are in the midst of it, you already know that having granite counter tops will increase the value of your home.

Remodeling your home is a big job but with Sterling Services, our experienced decorators can help you walk through all your decisions including which granite to install.  If you haven't been out looking for granite you might not be aware of the hundreds of options you have.  In addition, even if you select a color you still have a range of colors within that selection because you are dealing with a natural product.  For example, below are three pictures of Uba Tuba.  Granted, they are photos and they do not always translate the actual look of the granite but this is a good idea of how some of this same stone could have more gold or more green.  The ranges of the greens can vary as well.

With that in mind, if you are more selective on what the granite looks like, we suggest you go pick your granite out with your decorator.  There are several granite yards we like to use in the Houston area and we can help you select your piece based on your other remodel selections.

Thinking of remodeling?  Granite countertops are a great way to update your home!

A sink adds a lot of character to your granite tops.  Most prefer a stainless, undermount but below you will see some other examples.

Stainless appliances and sinks are popular with remodels.Open sinks are great for cooking!

Many people defer to the bullnose edge for their granite but there are lots of options available.  Below is a great drawing of different edges.  Depending if you want something modern, transitional or traditional will influence your final choice.

For a kitchen countertop there sure are a lot of decisions which need to be made before you get it installed.  Remodeling your kitchen is about your overall look and you will need to constantly pull all your pieces together to make sure each choice you make will bring together a beautiful, enjoyable kitchen.
