The Investment Gap

Laminate (Formica) is the cheapest countertop option. Granite costs 3x-5x more. Is it worth it?

The ROI Reality

Laminate: Saves money now. But it scratches, burns if you put a hot pan on it, and can peel with moisture. It adds $0 to your home's resale value.
Granite: A stone like Platinum White is an entry-level granite that is very affordable. It lasts 50+ years, is heat resistant, and is a major selling point for future buyers. Real estate agents agree: stone sells homes.

If you plan to stay in the home for more than 5 years, granite is mathematically cheaper per year of use.
