Granite and natural stone can be the perfect upgrade for your next remodel. Get some ideas from photos from some of the brands we carry.
GRANITE COUNTERTOPS
There are more than 200 different shades of granite, so you’ll be able to find one that pairs well with anything. You can find a wide array of granite colors including blacks, grays, pinks, oranges, and even white granite among others.
Granite is extremely durable, not susceptible to dents or scratches, and it can last for several decades. Granite is also heat-resistant, stain-resistant, and requires very little maintenance. However, for it to withstand everyday use, it must be installed and sealed properly.
Every slab of granite is distinct, with its color shading, patterns, and lines. This variation lets you enjoy a countertop that is truly unique. Plus, we can custom finish the edge of your countertops to match virtually any design you want. Bullnose, ogee, or a square edge? We can make it happen!

Periodic resealing is needed to keep it from staining, or from allowing bacteria growth. Edges and corners can chip, which must be professionally repaired. And granite is heavy, so it needs to be places on durable cabinets..

QUARTZITE COUNTERTOPS
Quartzite is a natural stone that forms deep within the earth. It is not to be confused with quartz, which is an engineered man-made product. Quartzite is a naturally occurring, metamorphic rock formed from Sandstone. It can be very strong, very dense, and very hard. It is often sought after for kitchen countertops because it has a glassy finish and can resemble marble, but has much higher resistance to everyday chemicals. However, these do require more maintenance than quartz.
MARBLE COUNTERTOPS
Marble countertops can be elegant additions, but they may not be for everyone. Marble has endless variations based on where it’s sourced, its impurities, patterns, colors and veining. Which also leads to a wide range of prices and quality.
Marble countertops have a certain richness and character to them. Often the unique veining is what draws people in. Marble is also great for cooking and baking as it remains cool naturally.
Things you should know about marble: It is not completely heat resistant. Placing hot pots and pans directly on marble can damage it. Marble will scratch or if exposed to acid for a prolonged period of time and will etch where the polish or sealant fades.
Marble is a porous surface, meaning it will stain and acidic liquids will stain it permanently. You can avoid staining by sealing marble countertops regularly. Marble is very heavy, so it needs a solid and sturdy base under it.
