Granite is the first choice of home owners when it comes to kitchen countertops and its not hard to se why. As its use has become widespread it has become more affordable and has a reputation for durability and strength. Get your granite countertop sealed to prevent stains. Marble is an elegant choice for kitchen countertop but might be a little expensive. If you can't afford to have marble all around your countertop, consider a marble island kitchen countertop instead. Engineered stone or quartz countertops come in a greater variety of colors than granite and are resistant to nicks and stains. Ceramic tiled kitchen countertops are inexpensive, and are easy to clean. They could however be uneven giving them a less than elegant look and there is always the problem of grout to consider. Wood countertops are expensive but extremely good looking. Chips and scratches are always a problem, and a wood kitchen countertop is not suitable for heavy use.
Whatever the size of your kitchen and budget, you're sure to find a good looking kitchen countertop that's' also affordable and easy to maintain. Consider all the aspects of your decision before you make a purchase. A high maintenance kitchen countertop could be a nightmare if you have hardly the time to spend taking loving care of your countertop surface.

My kitchen is very small with old cabinets and fixtures. I would like to completely remodel it with new cabinets, countertops, sink, shelves, or whatever else will be useful to make the small space efficient and usable. This would also include new appliances, however the floor will remain in tact.
