We understand
Take your time. We´ll help you get it right.
Our job is to be the consultant who helps you find it.
"Too many options. How do I know which one is right?"
✓ Let's start with your priorities.
Looks, or low maintenance? A surface that can survive the kids? A kitchen nobody else has? The one you've waited years for? Everybody's priorities are different, so we ask first. Then we give you the real benefits and drawbacks of each material.
You make the decision, not us. We cut every material, so whatever you pick, we can build it.
"Who can I trust with
my kitchen?"
✓ You’re already talking to them.
We're the fabricator. Nobody in between, nobody messing with your schedule. You pick the slab, we fabricate it, our own crew installs it. Local, family owned since 1995.
No appointment needed. Come talk to the people who’ll actually do the work.
"How do I know I'm not overpaying? "
✓ The market sets the price, not us.
We don't own the quarries. We don't own the manufacturers. No fabricator does. Every shop buys from the same suppliers, and supply and demand does the rest. If a slab is over your budget, tell us. We'll find you the same look without the name that carries the premium.
Don't shop by material name. Shop by color and by look.

Materials
Kitchen Countertop Options
Granite
The original natural stone countertop. Heat resistant, scratch resistant, and available in more patterns than you can look at in one visit.
Best for: a kitchen that gets used hard and still has to look right in twenty years.
Quartz
Engineered stone with consistent color and pattern. Non-porous, so it never needs sealing.
Best for: a household where nobody wants to think about maintenance.
Quartzite
Looks like marble, wears like granite. Natural stone, quarried in slabs, and genuinely hard.
Best for: the marble look, without changing the way you cook.
Marble
Nothing else looks like it. It will patina over time, and most marble owners come to love that.
Best for: someone who wants a stone with a history, and doesn't mind it having one.
Soapstone
Naturally non-porous, so it never needs sealing. It darkens and softens with time, and mineral oil only speeds up what it would do anyway.
Best for: a farmhouse kitchen, and anyone who likes a surface that changes with them.
Porcelain
Completely non-porous, unbothered by heat, unbothered by sun. Large format slabs mean fewer seams across a long run.
Best for: big islands, long runs, and outdoor kitchens.
Not sure yet? That's normal. Come in and we'll narrow it down together.

What Our Customers Say
Kitchens We´re Proud of
"We were nervous about marble in our kitchen, but Granite Guy walked us through everything — the sealing, the honed finish, what to expect. Two years later, we still love it. Best decision we made."
Sarah M.Framingham, MA
"I wanted Calacatta for my bathroom vanity. They helped me pick the exact slab — I got to see it before they cut it. The install was flawless. It looks like a five-star hotel."
John P.Wellesley, MA
"I'm a pastry chef and I needed a cool surface for dough. They recommended honed Carrara and it's perfect. Functional and gorgeous. My whole kitchen feels elevated."

Timing
Your Countertops Set the Whole Timeline
Your countertops are the bottleneck of the whole project. The backsplash waits on them, and so do the plumber, the electrician, and the appliances. Nothing finishes until the countertops are in, so the earlier you talk to us, the less of that lands on you.
Just a facelift: new tops, maybe paint?
Full remodel, new cabinets?
Big custom build?
Don't have all of this? No problem. Just come in — we'll figure it out together.

What We Do
We Don't Stop at the Countertop
Pricing
How Much Do Kitchen 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 slab can cost different money from two different suppliers, and the work you want done changes the rest of it.
About 95% of kitchen countertops fit between $55–150 per square foot installed. Exceptions like Blue Bahia granite, Blue Macaubas and Cristallo quartzites, the Calacatta and Statuario Italian marble families, and Onyx are always more expensive.
But it's not just about material. Here's what else affects your price:
- 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.
- Project size: Bigger projects cost more than smaller ones, but often get better per-square-foot pricing.
- Complexity: Waterfall edges, mitered edges, integrated sinks add cost.
- Waste: Intricate shapes mean less efficient cuts and more waste.
Supply and Demand: Desirability drives price. What's trendy costs more, what's out of fashion costs less. Rare blues are expensive because they're naturally rare. Italian marbles are expensive because of high demand and limited supply.
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.

About Granite Guy
One Team, Start to Finish
Granite Guy is a full-service fabrication shop in Southborough: showroom, slab warehouse, and fabrication all in one building. From the slab you pick to the final install, one team handles it in-house. No middlemen, no runaround. Countertop store.
I'd rather walk you through a decision than push you to one. The more you understand before we cut, the fewer surprises later. That's how I work, and it's how I train my crew.
Maintenance
Living with your new countertop
Sealing is where they differ. Quartz and porcelain never need it. Granite, quartzite, and marble do, but not on a calendar. Splash a little water on the surface and watch: if it beads, you're fine. When it soaks in and darkens the stone, it's time. Some dense granites go years. Every natural stone we install comes sealed to start you off.
Soapstone is its own thing. It never needs sealing at all. Mineral oil just speeds up the darkening it would do on its own.
