        "text": "When choosing an outdoor countertop for the East Bay climate, consider materials that can withstand temperature fluctuations, occasional rain, and direct sunlight. Materials like granite and quartz are excellent for durability. For specific areas like Berkeley or Oakland, where fog and moisture can be a factor, selecting non-porous materials or ensuring proper sealing on porous options is critical to prevent mold or mildew growth. UV resistance is also important to prevent fading over time.",
