Our Expert Explains The Best Countertop Material For A Rental Property
By ERICA HAWBAKER
As kitchens see the most traffic, expert Shaun Martin, Founder and CEO of We Buy Houses In Denver, says quartz is the best choice for countertops.
"Quartz is durable, scratch-resistant, and heat-resistant, making it a practical choice [...] It also has a sleek and modern look that can appeal to potential renters," he says.
It's also non-porous, making it easy to clean, and requires no sealant compared to marble and granite. Prices range from $50 – $200 per square foot, but it's worth it for a rental.
Installing these countertops yourself can be challenging and potentially dangerous, as it's a dense material that's hard to maneuver, so it may be wise to hire a professional.
