Visit & Select
Come to the Southborough showroom, see the marble slabs in person, and handpick the exact piece you're going to use. No appointment needed.
We Handle Everything
We template your space digitally and lay out your cuts on a digital version of your actual slab, so the veining lands where you want it. You see exactly what you're getting before anything is cut, and nothing moves forward until you sign off.
Enjoy the Finished Space
Once you've approved everything, fabrication moves forward and installation follows, usually within 5 to 10 business days.
Backlit
One Team, One Facility, Start to Finish
Showroom, slab warehouse, and fabrication shop, all in one building and run by one team.
A Shop Built for Precision
CNC, waterjet, and digital templating, the right tool for every cut, including the tight ones quartzite demands.
Hand-Pick the Exact Slab You'll Get
Walk our indoor warehouse and choose the actual slab for your project. Not a sample, not a photo.
Just refreshing the kitchen?
Come in anytime. Bring a cabinet door, a paint chip, or a floor photo so we can match the slab's tone and movement to what's staying.
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.
Big custom build on a long timeline?
Designers and builders pick the slab early, because the right one 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.
Rough dimensions and photos
A simple sketch, rough measurements, or a few phone photos of the kitchen. Nothing formal, just enough to picture it.
Whatever you're matching to
Cabinet door, flooring sample, paint chip, backsplash tile, even a photo of your appliances. These are what we'll hold the slab against.
How you'll use it
Stools and homework? Prep and heavy cooking? Somewhere to put the food out when people come over? This changes which material we'd point you to.
Pros
-
✓
Harder than granite: around 7 on the Mohs scale, so it shrugs off scratches
-
✓
The marble look, no etching: flowing veining like marble, but acids won't dull it
-
✓
Handles heat: a hot pan won't faze it
-
✓
One of a kind: natural veining no two slabs share
-
✓
Many colors work outdoors: a lot of quartzites hold up to UV
Cons
-
!
Sealing varies: more porous colors need periodic sealing
-
!
Premium price: rarity and specialized labor cost more

Mislabeling in the market: some material sold as "quartzite" (like Fantasy Brown) is really dolomitic marble and will etch, so buy from someone who knows the difference
Do you install quartize, or just fabricate it?
Both, all in-house. We template, fabricate, and install with our own crew.
Can I buy a quartzite slab without fabrication?
No. We sell quartzite as a finished, fabricated and installed countertop, not as a raw slab. It's the only way we can stand behind the result.
Do you serve my town?
Mostly MetroWest and Greater Boston, and we're willing to go anywhere in New England for the right job.
Is quartzite the same as quartz?
No. Quartzite is 100% natural stone quarried from the earth. Quartz is engineered in a factory from crushed quartz and resin. They look similar but perform very differently, especially with heat.
Does quartzite etch like marble?
No. That's quartzite's big advantage over marble: acids like lemon and vinegar won't leave permanent dull etch marks. You get the marble look without the marble worry.
Does quartzite need to be sealed?
It depends on the color. Dense quartzites like Taj Mahal and Cristallo barely absorb anything; more porous ones need it more often. Splash a little water on it: if it soaks in, it's time to seal.
Can I put hot pans on quartzite?
Yes. Quartzite handles heat very well and won't be damaged by a hot pan. We still recommend trivets as a habit.
How hard is quartzite?
Around 7 on the Mohs scale, harder than granite (6 to 7) and well above marble (3 to 4). It resists scratches better than almost any countertop material.
Is Fantasy Brown really quartzite?
No, it's a marble, not a true quartzite, so it can etch. Several materials get sold as quartzite that actually aren't, so buy from someone who knows the difference.
How can I tell real quartzite from marble sold as quartzite?
Most people can't tell by eye, the lookalikes are usually whitish and marble-like, but a good fabricator can. The sure way is the acid test: a little lemon or vinegar, wait a few minutes, and a dull spot means it's marble, not true quartzite.
Can quartzite be used outdoors?
Many hold up well outdoors, especially in a honed or leathered finish. Polished slabs use more resin, which the sun breaks down over time.
