If you're interested in remodeling your kitchen or other areas of your home, most folks focus on appliances, cabinets, and flooring. While those are important aspects of any remodel, countertops are often overlooked. That's unfortunate because counters are among the most important features of your home. They're the focal point of your kitchen, after all.
Maybe that's why homeowners with well-designed, quality countertops tend to sell their homes for more money than those with basic counters. It stands to reason, then, that the counters in your kitchen and bathrooms aren't just good-looking and functional – they're an investment that can provide ROI.
Regardless of the type of home or kitchen you have, chances are there's a style and material that you'll love – from granite countertops in Abington, MA to quartz and just about everything in between.

Granite Countertops in Abington, MA: The Natural Choice for Durability and Versatility
Granite is one of the most popular natural stones in the market. As an igneous rock, the granite you're considering was once molten. It was formed as it cooled inside the earth. It is quarried from the mountains of Italy, the U.S., India, Brazil, China, and dozens of other countries around the world. Here at Granite World, we are passionate about this high-quality natural stone and recommend it for a variety of installation purposes, such as kitchen countertops, floors, and other surfaces that undergo heavy usage.
Minerals within the granite look like flecks and are what give it the classic "salt and pepper" look. Other types have veining similar to marble. Generally speaking, granite is a dense-grained, hard stone that can be highly polished or finished in a variety of ways depending on your family's needs. A broad spectrum of colors is available to match the color palette and feel of your home.
What Makes Granite Counters So Popular?
Granite is a highly durable and attractive option for kitchen countertops, floors, table tops, and exterior applications like cladding and curbing. It is available in a range of colors and has been rated as the best overall performer among kitchen countertop materials by a leading consumer magazine.
Unlike synthetic surfaces, granite is incredibly resistant to scratches and heat damage. It is also highly resistant to bacteria and does not get affected by substances like citric acid, coffee, tea, alcohol, or wine. Even with regular use, granite does not stain easily and is almost impossible to scratch. If you want to enhance your granite's resistance to staining, our team can provide you with more information about sealants available on the market.
Granite World Pro Tip
When it comes to granite countertops, high-end options often equate to unique patterns and enhanced durability. However, a higher price doesn't always guarantee better quality. At Granite World Inc., we provide raw materials from the top distributors available. Visit our showroom in Harwich, Massachusetts, and consult with one of our associates to find a granite that fits your needs and budget.
3 Timeless Ways to Complement Your Granite Countertops in Abington, MA
If you are looking to add a touch of elegance to your kitchen, granite countertops can be a great option. With their intricate patterns and wide range of colors, they can transform a bland cooking space into a bright and merry room. However, since granite counters often steal the proverbial show, it can be tricky to design your kitchen around them.
Keep these easy design tips from the Granite World team in mind once you settle on the color and application of your granite counters:
1. Granite Countertop Decor
Keeping your kitchen looking tidy and organized requires avoiding cluttering your countertops with too many items and decorations. However, you can still enhance the look of your kitchen by adding a few carefully selected decorative items. If your granite countertops have specks of bright colors like green or purple, you can try using appliances, flowers, or decorations in those colors to make the specks in your countertops stand out. This will add a pop of color to your kitchen and elevate its overall appearance.
2. Cabinet Color
Brown, tan, and gray hues are all very popular color choices for granite kitchen countertops. As such, it's wise to choose a cabinet color that complements the natural tones of your countertops. That way, you can avoid creating an overwhelming look in your space. A warm white or a deep, moody color can be used to highlight the beauty of the countertops. If you prefer stained cabinets, pick a shade that matches the colors of your countertops.
3. Floor Pattern
Having a bold pattern on both your countertops and your floors can make your kitchen look cluttered and overwhelming. If you have granite kitchen countertops, it's a good idea to opt for a simple floor design. Choosing a plain tile or wood floor is usually a safe and practical choice.
Quartz Countertops: Elegant Design and Easy Maintenance
Quartz is a type of igneous rock that is made up of oxygen and silicon atoms in a continuous structure of silicon-oxygen tetrahedra (SiO4). It is one of the most abundant minerals on the planet and has been used in the production of kitchen and bathroom countertops for many years. Much like granite countertops in Abington, MA quartz is an excellent option as it is highly durable and requires minimal maintenance.
Why Do Homeowners in Massachusetts Love Quartz Kitchen Counters?
When it comes to stone choices for your kitchen countertops, quartz ranks among the best choices available. But why? Let's find out.
Beauty
Quartz countertops have become increasingly popular in kitchens, and for good reason. They are designed to imitate the everlasting beauty of natural stone, providing a wide range of captivating colors and patterns. Whether you prefer the sophistication of marble or the simplicity of solid colors, quartz offers endless options to match your preferences. With professional installation services from Granite World Inc., quartz kitchen countertops can effortlessly enhance the visual appeal of any room.
Durability
As a homeowner, you're probably aware of how quickly kitchen countertops can get worn out. Luckily, quartz is a material that can withstand the daily rigors of wear and tear – even if you have kids. That's because quartz is a unique blend of natural quartz crystals, resins, and pigments, making it a highly durable surface. With quartz countertops, you don't have to worry endlessly about scratches or stains ruining the beauty of your kitchen. It is a highly resistant material, making it an ideal choice for busy kitchens and bathrooms that see a lot of activity. In fact, its scratch, stain, and heat-resistant properties make it perfect for everyday use.
Easy Maintenance
It can be frustrating to spend your weekends cleaning and maintaining your countertops. However, by choosing quartz countertops, you can eliminate one task from your to-do list. Quartz surfaces are non-absorbent, meaning that liquids won't seep in, and bacteria won't be able to breed. If there are spills, cleaning them up is as easy as wiping the surface down with a mild detergent and water. There's no need to spend hours scrubbing, buffing, or polishing. As an added bonus, you won't have to worry about sealing your countertops regularly, as you would with granite or marble.
Granite World Pro Tip: Is quartz tough? Yes. Is it indestructible? Unfortunately, it is not. Quartz is a surface that can be damaged permanently by exposure to strong chemicals and solvents that can weaken its physical properties. You should avoid using products that contain trichloroethane or methylene chloride, such as paint removers or strippers. Also, stay away from any highly aggressive cleaning agents like oven or grill cleaners that have high alkaline and PH levels.

'This is a first for us': Norwell football rolls Abington, advances to Div. 6 Final Four

NORWELL — Is Will Bostrom at his best as a downfield blocker, ball-carrier or defensive back?
Norwell High sophomore quarterback Jack Luccarelli created his own answer to the multiple-choice question.
“All three,” Luccarelli said. “This is a guy you want with you in the backfield. I wouldn’t rather anyone else.”
The Luccarelli-Bostrom tandem starred at center stage yet again, as the fourth-ranked Clippers rolled to a 28-14 win over No. 5 Abington on Friday to advance to the program's first-ever Division 6 Final Four.
Norwell (8-2) will next spar No. 1 Hudson (time/date/location TBD) for chance to make the Division 6 Super Bowl at Gillette Stadium.
“This is a first for us," said head coach John Willis, whose Clippers are also the first bunch since 1999 in program history to win repeat South Shore League Sullivan Division titles. Norwell, Abington and Sandwich all shared it with 4-1 records in the league.
"This is what you work for, the whole season," Luccarelli said. "From lifts in the offseason to summer practices, you dream of this. You want this.”
The senior Bostrom, a recent Hamilton College commit, and Luccarelli each tallied over 100 rushing yards in Friday's win, a result that nearly (if not for a last-minute Abington TD) mirrored the Clippers' 28-7 regular-season victory over the Green Wave on Oct. 4.
Luccarelli muscled in four rushing touchdowns runs in this one, and Bostrom snagged the finalizing interception inside the final 10 minutes to further insure a 21-7 cushion.
“They work well together," Willis said of Bostrom and Luccarelli. "Everyone looks at the spread offense and says everyone's going to throw the ball. No, no. It’s a running offense and Jack is a running back, as well as a quarterback. With both of them in the backfield together, you’ve got to pick your poison.”
Luccarelli followed Bostrom blocks on his first two touchdown runs from 43 and 29 yards out, respectively, that put Norwell in front, 14-7, at the half. On his other two scores in the second half, Luccarelli tucked it on the option and trucked in from spots deep in the red zone (1 yard, 3 yards). Freshman kicker Connor Woodland was a perfect 4-for-4 on extra points.
Bostrom, the reigning South Shore League Sullivan MVP, said it was one of his most well-rounded games of the season. Last year, he rushed for over 1,400 yards and, for his Patriot Ledger All-Scholastic bio, wrote in that his favorite memory of the 2023 season was a throwing a big block against East Bridgewater. Go figure.
“He’s as good a two-way player as you want to see," Willis said of his senior lead back. "He’s sneaky the way he runs the ball. He shifts, he glides, he makes you miss. … We kind of nursed him last year health-wise and this year we turned him loose on defense. The kid’s a winner.”
Bostrom leaped above the jockeying between an Abington receiver and a fellow Norwell defender to vacuum in the interception at the 40-yard line in Green Wave territory: “I’m getting comfortable back there," he said. "I saw a jump ball and I like my ups, so I took my chance.”
Willis said his team watched "a lot" of the film from the Oct. 4 meeting vs. Abington, which was a three-TD debut for Luccarelli as the sophomore was sidelined for the first three weeks of the season due to a thumb injury.
“And I’m sure they did, too," Willis said of first-year coach Ed Reilly's Abington team (7-3), which won five straight entering Friday. "They made some adjustments. They’ve made tremendous improvement. They’ve gotten better and better as the year has gone on. I think we have too. They’re tough to prepare for.”
“Beating a team in football (twice) is always hard," Luccarelli said. "We knew we had to come in here, punch in the mouth (with the run game) and set the tone. I feel like we did that pretty well.”
After being upset in the second-round by eventual champion No. 8 Fairhaven as the bracket's top seed to end last season, the Clippers have now moved one round further than they did in its breakout 9-2 campaign.
Here comes a stage that no Norwell football team has played on before.
“You’re talking 25 years of not going to semis," Bostrom said. "And, our team, we worked our butts off for eight months. It’s a special feeling knowing our hard work paid off.”
“It’s been an incredible three-year journey," Willis said. "We struggled a little bit that first year (4-7 in 2022), then last year we got rolling (9-2) and we graduated a lot of kids (entering this year). Credit to the players and the coaches that have worked so hard to put themselves in this situation. I’m just so proud of them.”
