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

Granite Countertops in Norwell, 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 Norwell, 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 Norwell, 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.

Norwell, Massachusetts family says Amazon vans keep driving through yard

NORWELL, Mass. —
After NewsCenter 5 aired a story late last year about Amazon vans continually using a South Shore woman's driveway to turn around, we heard from several other viewers with even wilder problems. That included a Norwell, Massachusetts, couple who say Amazon drivers keep driving through their backyard, thinking it’s a roadway.
At first glance, the surveillance camera video provided by Paul Bailey appears to show a routine Amazon delivery outside his garage, repeated millions of times a day at homes across the country. However, it becomes anything but routine when the van drives off.
It doesn't leave by the driveway, but instead exits through the backyard.
Amazon vans keep turning around in Massachusetts woman's driveway
The video shows the driver hitting the brakes when he hits the grass, but then he decides to go for it. Eventually, realizing the backyard is a dead end, the driver turns around and exits down the driveway.
The video occurs after dark, but in the light, it's clear as day there's no road in Paul Bailey's backyard. He says that hasn't stopped numerous Amazon drivers from thinking there’s a road there.
Bailey even put up cones where his driveway ends to drive home that there's no road. They stopped several Amazon delivery contractors from driving onto the grass, but then the video shows them getting out and walking with a package on foot.
There are three houses far off the road somewhat behind the Bailey's property, but the access point for them is about a hundred yards down the street at a different driveway.
This delivery dilemma is limited to Amazon -- neither UPS nor FedEx drivers make this mistake -- and so the Baileys suspect the prime reason is that Amazon's own delivery GPS keeps sending the company's drivers to their yard.
"When I catch them, they [say] 'Not my fault. GPS,' and they show me their phone saying this is the route," Paul Bailey said.
The Baileys aren't the only ones dealing with delivery issues believed to be caused by Amazon's GPS. A couple in Bellingham say Amazon drivers keep cutting across their lawn to reach a road behind their property. It's led to torn-up grass and muddy ruts caused by larger Amazon vans.
Bailey said the most frustrating part is trying to contact someone empowered to actually correct the GPS.
"You don't really get through to anybody or anybody who seems like they're really listening," he said. "'OK, we'll look into it,' is all you get."
After NewsCenter 5 contacted Amazon, a spokesperson said it did sound like an issue with their GPS, and the company reached out to the Baileys to get more information so they could fix it.
“We’ve apologized to the Baileys and are working directly with them and our delivery partners to address this issue,” said Amazon spokesperson Alisa Carroll.
But the Baileys say they were told this problem must be "escalated," and so they were not given any time frame for a resolution.

The Norwell-Cohasset gymnastics team is off to a solid start this season, splitting their first two meets, with the first one getting about as close as it can get.
The team, which has a bit of a different look this season after graduating a number of seniors, lost their opener against Notre Dame Academy 126.5-125 Sunday, December 17 then followed with a 128.4-103.95 win over visiting Weymouth on Friday.
Both meets were at Mass. Gymnastics Center in Hingham, the team’s home gym, although the NDA meet was listed as an away meet.
The team has a bit of a different look this season.
“We have some new faces, three new freshmen,” coach Danielle Hoffman said. “We have a smaller team than we’re used to. We have 14 kids.”
The team is led by senior captains Ayla DeLorenzo, Maeve Higgins and Annaliese Kennedy.
“They’re great competitors for us,” Hoffman said of the captains.
Among the top gymnasts back are sophomores Elizabeth Mochen and Bella Provenzano.
“Everybody competed today and everybody did really well today,” Hoffman said of the victory. “There’s not really one who shined over the others. They all had a really good meet. Elizabeth had a season high 8.8 on beam. Nora Ellwell had an 8.2 on vault. That was a high for her and Bella (Provenzano) got an 8.2 on floor. Overall the whole team did well for this early in the season.”
The team has had two meets so far, but not a lot of practice.
“We’ve had two meets, but no practice this week because of the storm,” Hoffman said. “We did really well tonight considering.”
Hoffman said not having practice before a meet was a new experience.
“I kind of learned that today a little bit,” she said of the team’s performance. “Some of them said it was going to be weird not touching the beam all week and they thought it would be okay, then said it wasn’t as okay. Hopefully in the future we won’t have to go that route.
In the Weymouth meet, Provenzano scored an 8.8 on the vault for a team-high, while Elwell had the 8.2 and Bella Gotta and Higgins both scored 8.0.
On the bars, Mochen led the team with an 8.7 and Provenzano was right behind with an 8.4 and Mae Wirth was third with a 7.3.
On the balance beam, Wirth was second for No-Co with an 8.0 behind Mochen’s 8.8 and and Kennedy and Provenzano both scored 7.8.
Provenzano’s 8.2 on the floor was tops for the team, while Mochen had a 7.95 and Gotta notched a 7.7.
Other gymnasts competing for the team were Noella Mascardelli, Amalia Palmer, Payton Kondrat, MaryCate Donahue and Amelia Gardner..
In the team’s first meet against NDA, No-Co lost a tight one.
“We lost by one point,” Hoffman said. “We were just getting our feet wet with that one. They did a good job.”
Hoffman and assistant coach Amy Maree like what they have with this team.
“They’re a great group,” Hoffman said. “They’re really energetic and want to work. We’re really looking forward to the season.”
The team is off for the holidays and will be back in action Sunday Jan. 7 at home against Somerset-Berkley at 6:30 p.m. and is at Carver Tuesday, Jan. 9 at 7:30 p.m. at the Old Colony YMCA in Middleboro.
