We understand

Take your time. We´ll help you get it right.

There´s right countertop for every kitchen. 
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.

Compare the materials

"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.

Come watch us cut your slab

"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

Every material has strengths. Here´s who each one is for.
Granite

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

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
Most Requested

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

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

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

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.

"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. 

ruler

Just a facelift: new tops, maybe paint?

Come in anytime. Bring your cabinet and wall colors so we can match the slab’s tone and movement to what’s already there. 
paint

Full remodel, new cabinets?

 Come once your cabinet direction is set so we can pair the slab’s pattern to it. Popular materials move fast, so reserve early. We template after cabinets are installed.
cook

Big custom build?

Designers and architects pick the slab early, because the right one is hard to find on demand. We’ll hold your material in our facility for months, even years, until your site is ready.

Don't have all of this? No problem. Just come in — we'll figure it out together.

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:

  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: Waterfall edges, mitered edges, integrated sinks add cost.
  4. 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.

Maintenance

Living with your new countertop

Day to day, it's the same for every material: mild soap and warm water, cutting boards, coasters under anything acidic. Skip abrasive cleaners, bleach, vinegar, and citrus.
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.

Common Questions

Kitchen Countertop FAQ

question

Can you work with my budget?

 Yes, and we wish more people would ask. Tell us your budget instead of walking away, and we'll work hard to get you there. Just compare quotes apples to apples. A lower price often isn't the same value. 
question

How long does the whole process take?

We template once your cabinets are in and level. After you approve the details and layout, fabrication to install runs 5 to 10 business days, depending on the material and complexity. 
question

When should I order if I want the kitchen ready for the holidays?

 Give yourself runway. Countertops are about a two-week step from template to install, and they go in near the end, so the holiday rush is really about timing the whole project. Start early and you'll be ready. We'll hold up our end. 
question

Where will the seams go, and will I see them?

 Most kitchens need at least one, and we won't promise it's invisible. What we promise is control: we show you exactly where it lands in SlabSmith, and you approve before we cut. A well-planned seam can nearly disappear. 
question

Do you remove my old countertops?

 Yes. Removal and disposal are available as an add-on service. Just let us know and we'll include it in your quote. 
question

Can I see the actual slab before you cut it?

 Yes, and you should. No photo or video does a slab justice. The depth and movement only read in person. Walk the warehouse, hand-pick the exact slab for your kitchen, and that's the one we install. 
question

Which material is best for a busy family kitchen?

Quartzite and granite handle a working kitchen without much thought. Quartz is the easiest of all, since it never needs sealing. Marble is beautiful but it will patina, and you have to be at peace with that. 
question

What's the difference between quartz and quartzite?

 Quartz is engineered: ground stone bound with resin. Quartzite is natural stone, quarried in slabs. Both are hard. They look and feel different, and they behave differently around heat. 
question

Do I need to seal my countertops?

 Most natural stone does, though some dense ones barely need it. Quartz and porcelain never do. And there's no schedule to follow: the water test tells you. When water stops beading and starts soaking in, it's time. We seal every natural stone at install to start you off. 
question

Do you install sinks and faucets?

 Sinks, yes. We cut the opening and mount undermount sinks in place. We also drill the faucet holes. The plumbing connections themselves need a plumber, that's not our trade. 
question

What edge profiles do you offer?

Eased, beveled, bullnose, ogee, mitered, and more. Come see samples of each in the showroom, since they read very differently in person. 
question

What areas do you serve?

MetroWest and Greater Boston primarily, and all of Massachusetts. For the right project we'll travel just about anywhere in New England.
