Frequently Asked Questions About Granite Sealing

Do all granite countertops need to be sealed?

Most granite countertops benefit from sealing, though some dense, non-porous granites may not require it. The simple water test can determine if your granite needs sealing: place water droplets on the surface—if they bead up, your seal is good; if they absorb within 15 minutes, it's time to reseal. Kansas City's hard water can affect granite, making proper sealing even more important. We assess your specific granite type and recommend the appropriate sealing schedule.

How often should granite countertops be sealed?

Granite countertops typically need resealing every 1-3 years, depending on granite type, usage, and previous sealer quality. Kitchen countertops used daily may need annual sealing, while bathroom vanities might last 2-3 years. Professional-grade sealers last longer than consumer products. We use penetrating sealers that protect from within without altering your granite's appearance or creating a surface film.

What happens if granite isn't sealed properly?

Unsealed or improperly sealed granite can absorb liquids, leading to staining from wine, coffee, oils, and other substances. Water can penetrate the stone causing discoloration or dull spots. Bacteria can also harbor in porous granite, creating sanitation concerns in kitchens. Regular sealing creates an invisible barrier that prevents absorption while maintaining the granite's natural beauty and making it easier to clean.

How much does professional granite sealing cost?

Professional granite sealing typically costs $150-400 for average kitchen countertops, depending on square footage and granite condition. This includes thorough cleaning, proper sealer application, and buffing. While DIY sealers cost $20-50, professional sealers last longer and provide better protection. We also inspect for any damage or issues during the sealing process. Call (816) 918-0135 for a free estimate.

Can you remove stains from granite before sealing?

Yes! Before sealing, we can remove most granite stains using professional poulticing techniques. Oil stains, water stains, rust, and organic stains can typically be removed. The poultice draws the stain out of the stone over 24-48 hours. Once stains are removed and the granite is properly sealed, future staining is much less likely. We always assess stain removal potential during our free estimate.

How long does granite sealing take?

Professional granite sealing typically takes 1-2 hours for average kitchen countertops, plus 2-4 hours cure time before normal use. The process includes deep cleaning, sealer application, dwell time, and buffing. You can usually use your countertops lightly after 2-4 hours, with full cure in 24 hours. We schedule appointments at your convenience and work efficiently to minimize kitchen downtime.
