Cracked tile counters, stained laminate, scratched solid surface, or chipped granite all signal a counter past its useful life. Replacement is straightforward and does not require touching cabinets.
Tile counters from the 1990s often have cracked grout, chipped tile, and stained mortar lines. Laminate counters from any era can scorch, scratch, and delaminate at seams. Solid surface (Corian, Avonite) can scratch and yellow over time. Older granite can stain if it was never properly sealed, and chips at edges are common.
Quartz is the most popular replacement material in current Indianapolis kitchens because it never needs sealing, resists stains, and is available in patterns that mimic marble. Granite remains a strong choice for traditional and craftsman-style kitchens. Quartzite is harder than granite and is gaining ground for higher-end installations.
Standard quartz counters in a typical Indianapolis kitchen (35 to 50 square feet) run $3,200 to $6,500 installed. Premium-pattern quartz and quartzite run $5,500 to $11,000. The kitchen is without counters for ten to fourteen days between templating and install.
