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 Gosnold, MA to quartz and just about everything in between.

Granite Countertops in Gosnold, 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

3 Timeless Ways to Complement Your Granite Countertops in Gosnold, 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 Gosnold, 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.

$2.9 million project could make it easier to get to Kalmus Beach. Here's the plan so far.

HYANNIS — Ocean Street residents expressed concerns about speeding and lighting placement in a pedestrian improvement plan presented Monday night by Paul Graves, project manager for the Barnstable Public Works Department.
The $2.9 million project to create a mix of sidewalks and shared walking and biking shoulder paths from Veterans Park south to Kalmus Beach will also include a new driveway at Kalmus Beach, additional lighting and street resurfacing. Also part of the project, with additional funding of $480,000, will be a new water main to fix a gap from Yachtsman Avenue to Hawes Avenue to improve water quality and pressure.
The main problem for pedestrians is the current sidewalk on Ocean Street ends at Gosnold Street and there are no pedestrian paths for a half-mile to Kalmus Beach, Graves said. The current beach parking lot entrance is on a sharp curve that poses risks, so the driveway will be shifted farther north for a clearer view. The old vehicle entrance will be closed.

Why the Ocean Street project doesn't include speed bumps
Speeding along the street was mentioned by several people as a serious issue. Ed Genem, who lives at the Yachtsman Condominiums, was the first of several residents to suggest adding speed bumps on parts of the busy street. Graves said Public Works staff have considered the bumps but concluded they do not significantly minimize speed and can accentuate noise, so they decided not to put any in the project. Some residents suggested different, modified versions of speed bumps.
“We hear you and we’ll look into it," Graves said, acknowledging the pros and cons of speed bumps.
Town Councilor Jennifer Cullum, who lives on Sea Street where speed bumps were added, said they haven’t slowed the traffic much. She suggested considering 3D paint to create the optical illusion of curbs in place of speed bumps.
Lighting along Ocean Street
Graves said he had heard mixed opinions about the kind of decorative light poles that were added in the Sea Street improvements. Members of the Ocean Street Neighborhood Enhancement Team, who consulted on the project planning, said they preferred less lighting and lighting that is more natural to the environment, such as the “cobra lamps” currently along the street.
Graves said the plan was to put additional cobra lights on existing utility poles.
“There should be beautiful and modern lighting like on Bearses Way," Cullum said.

Trees removed at Kalmus Beach entrance
One woman asked how much vegetation and trees would be affected by the new Kalmus Beach entrance and if shade would be provided for the staff checking stickers. Graves said some trees would be removed and minimalist landscaping added along the entrance. The staff hut will remain closer to where it has been without shade.
The project design and permitting will be completed this spring and construction bids advertised, Graves said. The bulk of the work will be in the fall since none is allowed in the summer.
Residents have until Feb. 27 to submit additional comments about the project, preferably sent by email to Graves at paul.graves@town.barnstable.ma.us. A video of the meeting also will be posted on the Public Works website.
