Frequently Asked Questions About Granite and Marble
That is a great question! Upon installation, a “good” fabricator will seal your granite. If you have a dark granite, you need to seal your granite about once a year. If you have a lighter granite, I recommend sealing your granite twice a year.
In today’s economy, you need to be careful about who you choose to work with. I recommend making sure they have a shop and a bridge saw or CNC. There are a lot of contractors working from their personal truck or garage that do not have the correct tools to work with granite or marble.
