Best countertop for Kitchen? Granite? Quartz?

[Jonathan Mills]

I'm renovating 2 kitchens in a duplex and trying to decide what is the best countertop material. I would like a granite style, but not sure about the other stone options in terms of what would be best. What is everybody using?

Quartz is actually stronger than granite, it doesn't require sealing and is easier to clean, it has more color options, and likely cheaper than granite. Read a couple articles comparing the two and I think you'll choose quartz.
