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 East Bridgewater, MA to quartz and just about everything in between.

Granite Countertops in East Bridgewater, 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 East Bridgewater, 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 East Bridgewater, 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.

EAST BRIDGEWATER — Town Administrator Charles Seelig is pleased to share that the Town of East Bridgewater has been awarded grant funding from the U.S. Economic Development Administration to support the town’s sanitary sewer project.
The $3 million grant will provide sewer system service to support commercial and industrial development, including a 400,000 square foot warehouse, along Route 18/North Bedford Street which will connect to the City of Brockton’s sanitary sewer system, generating 400 jobs and $47.9 million in private investment.
This project will also include obtaining easements to provide access to over 30 acres of land owned by the town for use by the town including possible playing fields and recreational areas.
Bidding for the project is expected to occur before the end of 2023 with construction beginning in early 2024 and completion expected in the spring of 2025.
The $3 million grant is in addition to the $4 million grant awarded to the Town of East Bridgewater in 2022 by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts through its Community One Stop for Growth Program.
The estimated cost of the sanitary sewer project is $11 million. These two grants will cover a majority of the costs for this project and will significantly decrease the amount of money that the Town of East Bridgewater will need to borrow.
This project is the result of a joint effort by the Old Colony Planning Council, especially Executive Director Mary Waldron and Director of Economic Resiliency and Housing Equity Don Sullivan, the City of Brockton, including Mayor Robert F. Sullivan, Chief of Staff Sydne Marrow, and Chief Financial Officer Troy Clarkson, the town’s federal and state legislative delegations, the staff from Weston & Sampson including Francis Yanuskiewicz and Steve Pedersen, East Bridgewater Department of Public Works Director John Haines, Water & Sewer Superintendent Jason Trepanier, the East Bridgewater Selectboard, Chair Carole Julius, Vice-Chair David Sheedy, and Clerk Peter Spagone, Jr., and Town Administrator Charlie Seelig.
“It is critical that Massachusetts has a safe, durable, and resilient water infrastructure system,” said Senator Elizabeth Warren. “This $3 million grant is wonderful news for East Bridgewater, and I’ll keep fighting to ensure that the federal government is a strong partner for communities across our Commonwealth.”
The mission of the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) is to lead the federal economic development agenda by promoting competitiveness and preparing the nation’s regions for growth and success in the worldwide economy. An agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce, EDA invests in communities and supports regional collaboration in order to create jobs for U.S. workers, promote American innovation, and accelerate long-term sustainable economic growth.
Five generations of love passed down in this East Bridgewater, Brockton family
Enterprise Newshttps://www.enterprisenews.com/story/news/local/2023/10/03/east-bridgewater-brockton-family-living-five-generations/70980920007/
...
EAST BRIDGEWATER — Earlier this month, Erica-Kilcoyne Rubinski, 45, who spends her days taking care of her aging grandmother, became a grandmother herself — joining the ranks of the few people who can say they have five generations of family alive at the same time.
On Sept. 14, Rubinski, of East Bridgewater, watched her eldest daughter, Kayley Gibson, 27, of Worcester, become a mother for the first time. With the addition of baby Glenn, her daughter, herself, her 72-year-old mother Sandra Albrecht, and her 97-year-old grandmother became a five-generation family with an almost 100-year age-gap.
Gibson is the eldest of Rubinski’s five children, two of who were adopted from the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF). Rubinski’s youngest child, just five-years-old, already loves being an uncle.
“I had Kayleigh when I was 17,” said Rubinski. “I look back and I’m like what was I doing trying to get pregnant at 16? But she made me who I am today,” she said. “She made me thrive because I had to set the bar high. I worked my butt off.”
To support her growing family, a few years after Gibson was born, Rubinski opened two successful childcare centers, Albrecht Kinder Academy in Easton and Cowlicks and Pigtails Child Care Center in West Bridgewater.
Just last year, Rubinski gave up working on-site at the child-care centers to take care of her grandmother, Cynthia Clark, 97, of Jamaica Plain, full time.
“That's the thing, there's a lot of teenage mothers. But there's not a lot of elderly on the other end to make the fifth generation,” she said. “Because the oldest person still has to be alive.”
And Clark — who’s favorite movie is Magic Mike, wears lipstick every day, and still goes to the Casino, is very much alive and well.
“She started this generation with just an eighth-grade education,” Rubinski said. “Growing up, she was one of 10 siblings, and they didn’t have much."
Rubinski, the successful owner of two businesses, and Gibson, who is now a physician’s assistant, have grown up in very different circumstances. But Clark, who is now a great-great-grandmother, has made sure to pass down the importance of gratitude and positivity through all five-generations.
“My grandmother only looks through the lens of life in a positive way. Not everybody has a great upbringing, but it's the way that you look at it makes the whole difference,” said Rubinski. “That’s what I want to remember her for.”
