Granite is a long-term investment.
But choosing the wrong installer or slab can cost you thousands.
Here are 5 mistakes to avoid.
❌ 1. Choosing Based on Price Alone
Cheap granite may:
-
Be thinner
-
Be poorly sealed
-
Be incorrectly installed
Always compare quality, not just price.
❌ 2. Not Checking Slab Thickness
20mm is cheaper.
30mm is stronger and more durable.
Ask what thickness is included in your quote.
❌ 3. Ignoring Edge Profile Costs
Custom edges increase pricing.
Clarify what is included upfront.
❌ 4. Not Asking About Sealing
Proper sealing prevents staining.
Confirm if sealing is included in installation.
❌ 5. Hiring Non-Specialists
Granite fabrication requires expertise.
Poor installation leads to cracks and uneven finishes.
✅ Pro Tip
Always request a detailed written quotation.
