They\u2019re typically less expensive than granite or other types of stone, unless you opt for a very high-end wood. Some homeowners opt for wood counters instead of hardwood floors to add the element of wood to the room without breaking the bank. <\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> <strong>Can be restored<\/strong> &#8211; When your wood countertops start to show signs of wear and tear, you can sand and refinish them. When stone, tile or laminate countertops start to look damaged, you have to replace them. <\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n      <\/ul>\n<div class=\"image-style\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/businessfinancenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Compare-Pros-and-Cons-of-Wood-Countertops.jpg\" alt=\"Wood Countertops\"\/><\/div>\n<h4>Wood Countertops Cons <\/h4>\n<ul>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> <strong>High maintenance<\/strong> &#8211; Wood countertops require significant care and maintenance, particularly if you\u2019re not going for that rustic, cutting board look.

Even a glass of water or a potted plant placed on the countertop can cause damage. Needless to say, wood counters are not ideal for families with children or teenagers. To prevent damage, wipe up spills quickly, use trivets or pot holders for hot pans and cut only on cutting boards. <\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n      <\/ul>\n<p class=\"author\"><strong>Author:<\/strong> Ashley Smith<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<!--\n\n<h3 class=\"ctalower\">Find Local Wood Countertop Companies Who Will Compete for Your Business<\/h3>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t <iframe class=\"homeadvisor\"  height=\"1500\" border=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homeadvisor.com\/ext\/14857043?gatc=KompareItIframe\" align=\"top\" marginwidth=\"2\" marginheight=\"2\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>--><!--\n\n<div id=\"disqus_thread\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.<\/noscript>-->\n              <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wood flooring is always in high demand, but not as many people think about purchasing wood countertops.
