“Installing granite is an excellent way to increase the value of your home or condo for sale, especially in South Florida,” said Jean-Luc Andriot. “When people think of this region of the U.S., they think luxury, and that’s exactly what granite gives you.”

Not only is granite luxurious, it’s durable and versatile.

  • Scratch, stain, and chip resistant-If taken care of properly, you will rarely see blemishes in the beautiful stone. The only surface harder than granite is a diamond.
  • Versatile patterns-Granite comes in more than 3,000 colors, shading and texture, each with a unique pattern because of the way lava melted when it was formed. It can easily be given custom edges and finishes.
  • Timeless style-When you purchase granite for your home, you are investing in it for a lifetime. As soon as guests are welcomed into your home, their eyes are immediately drawn to the lavish elements. Including granite in their vision of your home is not only elegant but financially logical.

 According to Remodeling Magazine, the industry’s leader in determining the cost vs. value on home improvement projects, homeowners are choosing granite countertops by a margin of about 3 to 1 over the next most popular materials.

Not only will you have an aesthetically pleasing and durable space in your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom or patio, you will gain re-sale value on your home.

“Granite countertops add a minimum of 10% of the re-sale value to your home,” said Jean-Luc Andriot. “I’ve seen many high-income homeowners in South Florida struggle to sell their homes and once they added the granite, there was a dramatic turnaround.”
