It depends on the look you want. The two materials look so different. Neither is the ”better choice”, it’s personal taste.

Don’t let anyone tell you either granite or Quartz has better durability or easier maintenance. There’s a number of variables and different ideas of what each of those entail. For every story of Quartz being easier there’s another where it’s not easier. For every story of granite being easier there’s another where it’s not easier. So I would focus solely on the different looks of each and decide what you like better.

So sorry you experienced this trauma. Good to hear you husband is home and better.

I agree that it depends on the look you are after.

First, what are you planning for cabinets? White? Wood tone? What was there before? Did you like it and would like something similar?

I am a fabricator. The following advice will make your interactions with a good fabricator a lot more efficient and enjoyable: Spend some time thinking about the look you want; light or dark, monochrome or busy with a lot of color and movement, Also think about what you want for sink(s). Get a drawing from your cabinet supplier and THEN visit some fabricators (3 or more is recommended) that fabricate both quartz surface and natural stone. A competent fabricator should be able to show you some material options that you may like and give you a firm quote within a day or two. 3 or more quotes is recommended so you can be comfortable your not paying too much as there can be considerable variation in price for the same job. Heres a tip on how to tell if a fabricator is competent: ask them what their lead time is and how good they are keeping to schedule. A poorly run shop will have long lead times and lots of missed dates for measure or install.

I didn't care for any of the designs they had of quartz ? The granite was all too busy so & the insurance company is putting the pressure on so I just went with Quartzsite? Which im a little concerned about the color bc it looks like it has alot of blue in there so I told them to to use " agreeable gray " to maybe tone it down ?
