Which Lasts Longer, Quartz or Granite?
Both can last 50+ years with reasonable care — lifespan isn’t the real question. Twenty years of fabricating both in Atlanta gives us this honest read: failures are rare, and they almost always come from one specific cause per material. Granite that fails usually fails because the owner skipped resealing for years. Water soaks in, and you get dark spots. The fix takes 12 minutes; the prevention takes 10 minutes every 12 to 18 months. Quartz that fails almost always fails because someone set a 500°F skillet straight on it. Heat damages quartz where it shrugs off granite. Our craftsmanship warranty covers 1 year; the stone itself is covered for 30 days. After 20 years of installing both, we’ll tell you the truth: how it’s installed matters more than which material you pick.
