Natural Stone
Considering Granite Countertops?
But you've heard the knocks. Let's clear them up.
"Isn't granite dated?"
✓ Not at all.
What's dated is the thin selection from twenty years ago. Today we bring in slabs from quarries around the world: golds, greens, rare blues. Granite didn't get old. Its selection exploded.
"Doesn't it need constant sealing?"
✓ Not really.
It depends on the stone: some barely need it. The stone tells you, when water stops beading and soaks in, it's time. And we seal every slab we install to start you off.
"Can I get a white granite?"
✓ Light, yes.
True solid white is really a marble trait, but white granite countertops come in light tones: Colonial White, River White, Moon White, White Ice, and more. Want true white? We'll show you marble too.

Popular Choices
Popular Granite Colors
Ornamental White
Creamy white base with soft gray and beige speckles. Warm, versatile, and one of the most-requested light granites we carry.
Colonial White
Soft white with gray and black speckles. Proof granite isn't all dark browns, and one of the most popular light picks.
Black Pearl
Deep black with iridescent flecks. A soft matte leathered finish hides prints and warms up the black.
River White
Creamy white with flowing gray and burgundy veining. Movement and character without going dark.
White Ice
Bright white with gray and black veining. A crisp, clean light granite that reads almost like marble.
Absolute Black
Solid, even black with no movement. In a leathered finish it turns matte and forgiving, a modern take on classic black.

What We Do
We Don't Stop at the Countertop
Pricing
How Much Do Granite Countertops Cost?
Pricing matters. It's the first question everybody asks, and we get it.
But there's no price list in this business. Two suppliers can charge different prices for the same slab, and the work you want done changes the rest of it.
Granite countertops are priced by the square foot. About 95% of materials fall between $55 and $150 per square foot installed. Granite is one of the more affordable natural stones, so most colors sit toward the lower and middle of that range. A few rare exceptions, like Blue Bahia, run above it.
But it's not just about material. Here's what else affects your price:
-
Sourcing: From our in-stock inventory, you pay a set price per square foot for the footage you use. Special orders are sold by the whole slab, since that's the only way the industry sells them. Different suppliers price the same slab differently, and we keep remnants for smaller projects.
-
Project size: Bigger projects cost more than smaller ones, but often get better per-square-foot pricing.
-
Complexity: A waterfall means a mitered corner and more fabrication. A long overhang may need support underneath. An integrated sink adds work. Each one adds cost.
-
Waste: Intricate shapes, and matching the pattern from one piece to the next, mean more of the slab goes unused. We lay out every cut digitally to get the most usable countertop out of each slab, but the pattern still decides how much we can save. Beautiful, and it comes at a cost.
-
Supply and demand: Desirability drives price. Rare colors like Blue Bahia cost more because they're naturally rare, not because of a trend.

Comparing Quotes?
The service side of a quote, meaning templating, fabrication, edge work, sealing, and installation, runs about $30 to $50 per square foot, and it's fairly consistent across the industry. The big difference between quotes is almost always the material itself.
Two things to watch for: a quote that isn't itemized, where any change becomes an extra, and "free edge" promotions, where the cost is built in somewhere else. If one quote comes in far lower, you're usually looking at a different material or brand, not a better deal.
Our quotes spell it out line by line: template, fabrication, edge profile, sealing, and installation, so you can compare apples to apples.
So How Do You Budget?
Don't shop by material name. Shop by color and look. Come to our warehouse in Southborough, see, touch, and feel your options, and choose what fits your budget.

How Does Granite Compare?

| Quartz | Granite for heat, the outdoors, and natural character; quartz for a consistent look with less upkeep. | Granite vs Quartz → |
| Soapstone | Granite for color range and hardness; soapstone for a warm, matte, no-seal surface that ages to a patina. | |
| Porcelain | Granite for natural depth and one-of-a-kind patterning; porcelain for ultra-thin, UV-proof outdoor durability. |
Maintenance
Living With Granite
Granite is about as low-maintenance as natural stone gets: mild soap and warm water, skip abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals.
Knowing how to seal granite countertops is simple: reseal when water stops beading and soaks in, darkening the stone. Some need it sooner, some barely at all; the densest, darkest granites, like Black Galaxy, rarely need it.
Every slab we install comes sealed.
