I recently installed granite countertops. The surface seems to be pitted. You not only see the pits, but can feel them. Is this how it is supposed to be?

You could also ask your question on the Breaktime forum (go to green box at top of this page and click on it, right after it says "Other Taunton Sites:"), but I would say that yes, granite can have pits. Most of the granite I've seen has them, especially when you look closely. I guess that's part of its charm, but as far as I'm concerned, I would rather have a counter that is smooth and won't be trapping food particles and so on. I believe there are sealers, but I don't know that they would fill pits--guess it depends on how large the pits and how thick the sealer.
