Granite:

Granite is the most popular choice for kitchen counter tops. A solid quality countertop can define a kitchen. The inclusion of a granite counter top will add class to the most modest of kitchens. Available in a number of colors and extremely durable (although periodic sealing is usually a must). Although there is some maintenance involved, granite kitchen counter tops are elegant and timeless.

Solid Surface:

Solid surface counters are just what they're called, solid. Most scratches can be sanded out. The countertops are custom-made to your specifications. The biggest advantage with solid surface counters is the range of colors and patterns…

Laminate:

Laminate counter tops are popular and affordable . Laminate counters are made out of plastic coated synthetics with a smooth surface that is usually easy to clean. The pieces are cut to size and then installed and finished on the ends. The biggest advantage of laminate finishing is obviously its affordability and range of patterns and colors. It’s relatively durable and easy to replace if stained or damaged.
