        "text": "Yes, most granite countertops require sealing to protect them from stains and moisture penetration. The frequency of sealing depends on the type of granite and how porous it is; some may need sealing annually, while others can go several years between treatments. A simple water test can indicate if sealing is needed: if water beads on the surface, the seal is good; if it soaks in, it's time to reseal. We can advise on the best sealing practices for your specific granite.",
