Natural stone
Granite is the classic natural stone countertop: hard, heat resistant and available in more colors than any other stone. From clean whites to deep blacks, it is the most budget-friendly way to put real stone in your kitchen.

Benefits
Granite is the workhorse of the kitchen. It forms deep in the earth under intense heat and pressure, which is why it shrugs off hot pans, knives and daily spills. It also offers the widest range of colors of any natural stone and some of the best value per square foot.
Granite was formed at volcanic temperatures, so a hot pan set down for a moment will not hurt it.
It is harder than steel knives, so everyday meal prep will not leave marks on the surface.
Speckles, flecks and veins: every slab is different, so your countertop will not look like anyone else's.
Common granite colors are among the most affordable natural stone countertops you can buy.
Applications
The classic choice for busy family kitchens, perimeter counters and large islands.
Sun, rain and heat do not fade or damage granite, making it ideal for outdoor kitchens in the Lowcountry.
A tough, easy-to-wipe surface for folding, sorting and everyday chores.
About the material
Granite forms deep in the earth from cooled magma, which is why it is one of the hardest and most heat resistant countertop materials. It comes in speckled, flecked and veined patterns, from light whites and greys to golds, greens and blacks.
It is a great fit for busy family kitchens, outdoor kitchens, bar tops and vanities. With a simple yearly seal, a granite countertop lasts for decades.
Hot pans and outdoor sun are not a problem for granite.
A quick sealer keeps stains out. It takes a few minutes.
Color and pattern vary from slab to slab, so we help you pick the actual piece.

Pricing
Granite prices vary from slab to slab, so we quote every project individually. These are the main factors that move the number:
Common colors like Black Pearl or Santa Cecilia cost less than rare blues, exotic patterns or large-format slabs.
The total area, the number of pieces and where the seams fall drive how much stone your project needs.
Most countertops use 3 cm (about 1 1/4") slabs; 2 cm is common for vanities and wall applications.
A simple eased edge is included in most quotes; mitered, ogee or waterfall edges add fabrication time.
Undermount sinks, cooktops, faucet holes and outlets each require precise cutting and polishing.
Tearing out old tops, stairs or tight spaces can add labor to the installation day.
Care & maintenance
Granite is easy to live with. Wipe it daily with warm water and a drop of mild dish soap, and dry it with a soft cloth.
Avoid bleach, ammonia and acidic or abrasive cleaners, which can wear down the sealer over time. To check the seal, sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface: if the water darkens the stone after a few minutes, it is time to reseal. Most granite only needs a quick reseal once a year, and it takes about fifteen minutes.

FAQ
Most granite benefits from a sealer, usually reapplied once a year. Some dense, dark granites barely absorb water. We seal every countertop at installation and show you how to test it.
Yes. Granite is highly heat resistant. We still recommend trivets for very hot cookware or slow cookers left for hours, to protect the sealer and avoid thermal shock.
With basic care, granite countertops last for decades. It is one of the most durable surfaces you can put in a kitchen.
Often, yes. Common granite colors are usually less expensive than most quartz, while rare or exotic granites can cost more. We quote the exact slab you choose.
Yes. We install granite on single vanities, bar tops, laundry rooms and outdoor kitchens, not just full kitchens.
