We are looking at granite countertops and have had a couple people tell us that we should steer away from black or dark colored granite because water marks and smears are more prevalent than on lighter colors. Is this true? Any other recomendations? Thanks!

I have granite countertops in my kitchen and even though I wipe them down or clean them with cleaners… they always feel like they have crumbs on them… and sometimes there are actual crumbs still left. I can put my hand down on the counter and see the crumbs that stick to my hand. Why don’t they come off when wiping them down? Is this a normal problem?

I purchase shivakasi yellow granite countertops and it easily stains.
I really have only used them once, Thanksgiving and they were installed the first of November. If I set anything on them I have to be very careful, nothing hot, warm, cold glass of ice.

I recently had granite countertops installed in our house. There is a long crack in part of it. It’s not terribly obvious, but it definately goes through the granite (you can see & feel the crack on the bottom too).

1. Is this a problem?

2. What kind of damage can occur if it is not fixed?

3. How is this fixed?

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

I love the look of granite but what I’m looking at is $81.00 per square foot. I’d love to have it SOMEWHERE in my kitchen but not on every countertop due to the cost. Has anyone seen any mixing of countertops done where it looks nice?
