Granite Countertops
Granite is a timeless option that homeowners have chosen for decades. Granite is a natural stone cut from a mountain quarry and then polished to create a beautiful product. When selecting a granite slab, you will see variations in colors and veins, which makes each slab unique. We partner with several slab yards giving you an extensive inventory to select the slab that suits your design style.

Most countertop projects are ready for install in 3-4 weeks, making the process a quick and easy way to update your kitchen or bathroom space. The final project cost will be a combination of total square footage plus the price of the selected slabs.

How are Granite countertops made?
Granite countertops are made from natural stone - cut out of a mountain. First a large block of the granite is cut, usually with some sort of explosives. This large block is transported from the mountain to a factory, where it is sliced like a loaf of bread to different thicknesses, usually 2CM or 3CM. The rough cut slab will then be polished using a multi-step sanding process until it achieves the desired sheen. ​The finished slab has no coating or chemicals on it, simply a rock sanded until it is smooth.
Does Granite need to be sealed?
Granite is a natural stone, crafted by Mother Nature. As with any rock or stone, the density can vary piece by piece, therefore they have various levels of absorbency. Sealer is a product designed for application on natural stone to "clog" it's pores and help prevent absorption. A sealed piece of granite and an unsealed piece of granite will have no visual differences. The best way to test if your granite has been sealed - or if it needs more sealer - is to apply a small amount of water to the surface to see if it gets absorbed. If the granite absorbs the water and gets darker where it was applied, this means the granite needs more sealer. Lighter color granite tends to be more absorbent than a darker color granite and may require a couple different sealer applications. But don't worry, you cannot over seal your granite countertops! The granite will absorb what it wants and the rest will sit on top until it is wiped off. Sealing is a simple process that only takes about 5 to 10 minutes to do, but can protect your countertops against staining for years to come.
