Countertops for rental

[Jessica Franco]

Where's the best place to purchase countertops from at a good price? Local vendors or Lowes, HD, etc? I have been purchasing most of our reno supplies from Lowes since we get military discount and cash back through Ibotta. I am looking in the Lillington, Fuquay-Varina, Apex, Raliegh, Fayetteville area. Thanks!

I recommend quartz, they are super durable.  They are way more expensive than the cheap Formica, but they add that charm to kitchens, tenant proof, and literally maintenance free.  If you are concern of a tenant putting hot pans on the counter top, then some sort of quartz or granite is the way to go.  I would never recommend anything that have lots of porosity to it, even if its "sealed" (that means maintenance).
