Granite: nature's original countertop.
Quarried, cut and polished into something no one else will ever have. Granite stands up to heat, sun and decades of daily use.
Is granite right for you?
Granite is a natural igneous stone quarried in blocks, cut into slabs and polished. Every slab is unique, with movement and crystals that formed over millions of years, so no two kitchens ever look the same.
It's one of the toughest countertop materials available: highly heat resistant, scratch resistant and comfortable outdoors. With periodic sealing, granite will look beautiful for decades. It's a favorite for outdoor kitchens, bars and high-traffic commercial spaces.

Granite countertop questions
Does granite need sealing?
Most granite benefits from periodic sealing to help resist stains. How often depends on the stone, and we'll recommend a schedule for yours.
Is granite heat resistant?
Yes. Granite handles heat very well, which makes it a great choice for cooks and for outdoor kitchens.
Can I choose my exact slab?
Yes. We encourage clients to select their slabs in person so the color and movement are exactly what they want, and we lay out the cuts before fabrication.
