When replacing granite do you need to replace sinks?

| Hi our contractor said we will have to replace our sinks because he feels they will be damaged in removal process. What say DCUM? I actually like our sinks--and we have three. One on island, one in pantry and one main sink so this could be costly. I am trying to feel out if I should push back or do I have to accept that this is the reality. Thoughts? |

| The sinks are affixed to the granite. Are they under mount or over mount? Porcelain or stainless steel? |

| I would push back and see if they can be salvaged. I had a friend move into a house with new granite but they kept the old ceramic (PINK) sink. She was able to have it replaced with stainless. So it's definitely possible to preserve it depending. |

| Our were undermounted and we managed to keep it for the new countertops. |

| the sink is cheap why would you keep it? The sink will be worn out in the near term. |

| we have three sinks though so it is going to be an extra thousand dollars so I thought I would see. The sinks are undermount if this matters. They are not old either. I just make a bad decision on granite when building this house. |

The near term of what? Stainless steel sinks can last a long, long time. |
