Considering Granite Countertops?

Long before quartz or quartzite existed, granite was the counter everyone trusted. It still is.
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 granites absorb more sealer, some barely need any. The stone tells you: when water stops beading and soaks in, darkening the surface, it's time. And we seal every slab we install to start you off.

Our sealing guide

"Can I get a white granite?"



Light, Yes.


True solid white is really a marble trait. But granite comes in beautiful light tones: Colonial White, River White, Moon White, White Ice, and plenty more. Want true white? We'll show you marble too.

Once you've approved everything, fabrication moves forward and installation follows, usually within 5 to 10 business days.
Popular Choices

Popular Granite Colors

The granite colors we get asked about most. Every slab is one of a kind, so come see the whole slab in person before you decide.
white-ornamental-granite-countertop-slab-granite-guy

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-granite-countertops-kitchen-granite-guy

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-granite-countertops-granite-guy

Black Pearl

Deep black with iridescent flecks. A soft matte leathered finish hides prints and warms up the black.

new-river-white-granite-countertops-kitchen-granite-guy

River White

Creamy white with flowing gray and burgundy veining. Movement and character without going dark.

white-ice-granite-countertop-slab-granite-guy

White Ice

Bright white with gray and black veining. A crisp, clean light granite that reads almost like marble.

absolute-black-granite-countertops-granite-guy
Leathered

Absolute Black

Solid, even black with no movement. In a leathered finish it turns matte and forgiving, a modern take on classic black.

TIMING

It's Never Too Early to Reserve Your Slab

Granite is a natural product, so no two slabs are ever exactly alike.
Lock in the one you love, or you run the risk of not finding another like it.

home

Just refreshing the kitchen?

Come in anytime. Bring a cabinet door, a paint chip, or a floor photo so we can match the granite's tone and movement to what's staying.
clipboard

In the middle of a remodel?

Reserve your slab now. The one you love may be gone by the time your project needs it. We template once cabinets are in and level, so lock it in early.
tool

Big custom build on a long timeline?

Designers and builders pick the slab early, because the right granite is hard to find on demand. Your project might run months or into next year, and we'll hold your material safely until your site is ready.

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. The same material can cost different money from two different suppliers, and the work you want done changes the rest of it.

Granite is priced by the square foot, like any counter. 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:

  1. Sourcing: We work with all suppliers to find the best value. In-house inventory is more cost effective, and we keep remnants for smaller projects.

  2. Project size: Bigger projects cost more than smaller ones, but often get better per-square-foot pricing.

  3. 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.

  4. Waste: Intricate shapes mean less efficient cuts and more waste.

  5. Supply and demand: Desirability drives price. The Calacatta and Statuario families cost more because they're in high demand and limited supply, not because of a trend.

How Does Granite Compare?

Weighing granite against the alternatives? Here's the honest rundown on each.

Material The honest read Full comparison
Marble Granite for a hard-working kitchen; marble for the classic look in lower-traffic spaces. Granite vs Marble →
Quartzite Granite for value and a wider color range; quartzite for a marble look with extra hardness. Granite vs Quartzite →
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. Granite vs Soapstone →
Porcelain Granite for natural depth and one-of-a-kind patterning; porcelain for ultra-thin, UV-proof outdoor durability. Granite vs Porcelain →
Maintenance

Living With Granite

Granite is about as low-maintenance as natural stone gets. Day to day, mild soap and warm water. Skip abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals. Reseal when water stops beading and starts soaking in, darkening the stone. Some granites need it sooner, some barely at all. The densest, darkest granites, like Black Galaxy, are so tight they rarely need sealing. Every slab we install comes sealed to start you off.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

question

Do you install granite, or just fabricate it?

Both, all in-house. We template, fabricate, and install with our own crew.
question

Can I buy a granite slab without fabrication?

No. We sell granite as a finished, fabricated and installed countertop, not as a raw slab. It's the only way we can stand behind the result.
question

Do you serve my town?

Mainly MetroWest and Greater Boston, and we're willing to go anywhere in New England for the right job.
question

Is granite a good choice for kitchen countertops?

It's one of the best. Granite resists heat, scratches, and daily wear, and we still see installs from the 1990s holding up perfectly.
question

Does granite need to be sealed?

Yes, granite is porous, so it needs periodic sealing. The stone tells you when: drip water on it, and if it soaks in and darkens instead of beading, it's time.
question

Does granite come in white?

No. True solid white is really a marble thing, but granite comes in beautiful whitish tones like Colonial White and River White.
question

Can I put hot pans on granite?

Granite is naturally heat resistant and won't scorch. We still recommend trivets as a good habit.
question

Can granite be used outdoors?

Yes. Granite's durability and UV resistance make it a great choice for outdoor kitchens, bars, and other exterior work.
question

How does granite compare to marble?

Granite is harder and resists etching and staining, so it wins in a busy kitchen. The look differs too: granite reads bolder, marble softer and more refined.
question

What's the difference between granite and engineered quartz?

Quartz is man-made and lower-maintenance, but heat can damage it. Granite is natural, one-of-a-kind, and handles heat, fireplaces, and outdoor kitchens.
question

Is Taj Mahal or Fantasy Brown a granite?

No. Taj Mahal is a quartzite and Fantasy Brown a marble, even though both get sold as granite. Want that look? We'll show you the real thing. See our quartzite page
question

Is granite more expensive than other materials?

Not usually. Every material has cheaper and pricier options, but most granite colors land in the low-to-middle range.
question

Can I get granite in a honed or leathered finish?

Yes. Beyond polished, we offer honed and leathered finishes, for a softer, matte look that hides prints on darker colors.
