Are you sure about which one is more expensive. I had always heard (never did the comparison myself, but have had both in my houses) that Quartz is more expensive than granite.

I prefer granite because it's feels and looks a bit more natural. I find Quartz to be too uniform.

- What are some decent companies that do counter top replacement? I know that Costco has a service like that, but I've also heard that dealing with their services can be a bit of a gong show.

Thanks for any information!
