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

Granite Countertops in Lakeville, 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 Lakeville, 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 Lakeville, 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.

LAKEVILLE, Mass. —
Multiple residents in Lakeville have spotted an emu, a large bird native to Australia, roaming around the Massachusetts town.
Lakeville Animal Control Officer David Frates said the emu is on the loose in the area near the intersection of Lang and County streets, according to a post he made on his Facebook page Tuesday.
Frates said the emu has been seen in numerous areas, which makes it harder to pinpoint one area where Animal Control personnel can try and catch the bird.
"I had gone past my window and I looked down, and I'm like: 'What is that?'" said Lakeville resident Joe Arruda. "That's something I've never seen before here."
Emus, which are native to Australia, are the second-largest bird species in the world, behind the ostrich. According to the Smithsonian's National Zoo, emus have an average height of 5 feet, 7 inches. Male emus weigh between 110 to 121 pounds, while females weigh about 11 pounds more than males.
"To see one in our backyard, that was a first," Lakeville resident Carl Livorsi said of the emu, which was spotted by his nephew's trail camera on Sunday.
An emu roaming in Lakeville, Massachusetts, was spotted on a trail camera on Sept. 3, 2023.
Frates said a man who is experienced in catching emus is willing to help the Animal Control Department, but they need to find out where the emu hangs out the most.
The person who owns the emu recently moved out of state and the bird apparently made a break for it on moving day. Frates said the fact the emu now has no home to return to makes it even more difficult to wrangle.
"Joe's already moved, so we knew his emus should be in Virginia right now," Livorsi said. "If we see him again, we'll try to corral him and call Joe (and say) 'What do you want us to do with your emu?'"
David Swaney
An emu, a large bird native to Australia, was on the loose in Lakeville, Massachusetts, as of Sept. 4, 2023.
Emus can sprint up to 30 mph and while they cannot fly, they can swim and can go for weeks without eating. They also drink infrequently and stock up on fluids when they do.
Anyone who spots the emu can call the Lakeville Animal Shelter at 508-947-3891 or leave a comment on Frates' Facebook post.

LAKEVILLE — Freckles and Benji met about two years ago. At first they thought it was just puppy love, but eventually they started thinking about marriage. Now they're celebrating their "puptials" as part of the Pet Costume Parade and contest on Sunday.
"I'm excited because everybody is excited about it. It brings happiness and joy," said Nancy Richmond, co-organizer and mother of the doggy groom Benji.
The second annual Pet Costume Parade and Blessing of the Pets is to benefit the Lakeville Animal Shelter and the Friends of the Lakeville Council on Aging.

"It's also more of a way for people to get out and enjoy their pets and enjoy the outdoors with their pets," said Mason Almeida, who is helping to publicize the event.
For all of the people who acquired pets during the COVID years, he said it's one more way "to socialize your pet and to celebrate the bond that you have with your pet."
How to paw-ticipate in the festivities
Everyone is invited to participate in the free event, which starts at 10:30 a.m. at the Ted Williams Camp at 28 Precinct St., Lakeville.
There will be a dog training demonstration from a local trainer Erin Cornelius with her German Shepard Col. Potter starting at 11 a.m.
The organizers of the event include Gail Trinque, Linda Ewell, and Joann Bowes.

Cornelius is a former vet-tech and dog health professional with 30 years of experience. With help from her K-9 partner, she will demonstrate basic exercises and commands and do a training Q&A with the audience. With help from her wife, Tabitha, Erin also runs a CBD business focusing on dogs and cats as well as specializing in at-home nail trimming in the local area.
At 11:30 a.m., Freckles and Benji will be exchanging their vows and saying their "I do's," followed by a blessing of the pets at 12 p.m. followed by the costume parade and contest. Prizes categories include "Best in Show," "Best Human/Pet Duo," "Most Original Idea," and "Cutest Costume."
Various exhibitors and vendors from local businesses will be attending and displaying their wares as the two pups tie the leash.
From wag to wedding
Together Freckles and Benji make the paw-fect pair. Freckles, a Shih Tzu and Benji, Chihuahua/ Maltese mix, met because both their mothers, Richmond and Paula Houle, were involved in Friends of the Council on Aging and would go on walks together.
Getting to the wedding day there were some little hurdles to pounce over — Freckles wanted to protect her assets in case the marriage fails, so she insisted on a "prepup."
"Being a dog that wants the marriage to last, she also wanted Benji to join her in going to a marriage preparation course, so he eventually agreed to go to Pre-canine," Richmond said.
Thankfully, they worked everything out and they are registered at Bed, Bark & Beyond. They are writing their own "bow-vows" and plan to honeymoon in "Hound-a-Lulu." They will live between their current homes while the new dog house is being built.
Richmond, a member of the Friends of the Lakeville Council on Aging and a Lakeville Lion and winner of last year's Rookie of the Year award, is making them pupcakes as well as surprising them with a duo leash with their names embroidered on them.
"I'm just really excited about this," Richmond said. "All the news that we have daily being almost all negative. It's nice to have a bright spot for a change."
