Your countertops can be considered as the focal point of your kitchen space. Aside from enhancing the looks of your kitchen and raising your home’s resale value, it’s a functional element that improves the way your kitchen works. Thankfully, there are numerous kitchen countertop options that are low-maintenance, making it easy for homeowners to take care of them. They also come in numerous styles, colors and textures.

In today’s post, the top siding and kitchen remodeling expert, Villwell Builders, LLC, shares the best low-maintenance kitchen countertops for your consideration.

  • Soapstone. Soapstone kitchen countertops are a prime example of low-maintenance countertops since they possess inherent durability. In fact, some soapstone countertops that were built in the 1800s are still standing to this day! They are also resistant to cracks, and are more pliable than other modern countertops. If you want to avoid chemical stains or hot spots, then this is the countertop for you. It is available at around $55 to $100 per square foot.
  • Laminate. According to kitchen and bathroom remodeling experts, laminate countertops are one of the best materials because they’re affordable, robust and require little to no maintenance. Laminate countertops aren’t porous materials, so they simply need to be wiped down to be cleaned. They also do not need to be resealed or refinished. They are also a stylish option since they mimic granite without the hefty cost. You can install high-quality laminate countertops at around $20 to $50 per square foot.
  • Stainless Steel. Stainless steel countertops are often found in commercial kitchens, or industrial settings. These countertops do not require sealing or refinishing. It can be simply cleaned down with a soft cloth and mild soap, which is why restaurants favor them. Stainless steel doesn’t also get affected by food spills and is inherently heat resistant. You can find it on the market for around $75 to $140 per square foot.
