When I am looking at homes in the Alexandria area with potential buyers a phrase I hear very often when we are in the kitchen is “We would want to replace the countertops”.

Here are 15 popular countertop materials courtesy of Houzz.com with a link to the pros and cons of each. What is your favorite?
