Should you seal your stone countertops yourself or hire a professional? In this video, Paul shares everything you need to know about sealing granite, marble, quartzite, limestone, travertine, and quartz countertops. You’ll learn how stone sealers actually work, which stones need sealing, how often to reseal, and the biggest DIY mistakes to avoid.

Sealer isn’t magic—it won’t stop scratches or etching—but it can protect your countertops from stains by slowing down how fast liquids soak into the stone. From the simple “water drop test” to knowing when it’s smarter to call a pro, this video will give you clear steps to protect and maintain your countertops for years.

What you’ll learn in this video:
✔ Should you seal granite countertops yourself?
✔ Do marble countertops always need sealing?
✔ How often to seal granite, marble, quartzite, and travertine.
✔ Why quartz and porcelain usually don’t need sealing.
✔ The truth about quartz “never needing sealer” (and why that’s not always true).
✔ How to test your stone to know if sealing is needed.
✔ Common DIY sealing mistakes to avoid.
✔ When to call a professional for polishing, stain removal, or color-enhancing.

If your countertops are clean and in good shape, sealing can be a simple DIY project. But if you already see stains, dull spots, or etching, that’s when a pro is worth it.
