Granite Countertop Installation
Granite is a natural stone that handles heat, scratches and daily use, and no two slabs are alike. We help you choose the slab in person, template your cabinets for an exact fit, fabricate the edge and cutouts and install the top level with seams placed where they are least visible.

About granite countertop installation
Does granite need sealing?
Most granite benefits from a sealer, which helps it resist stains. We seal the stone after installation and explain how often to refresh it.
How long does it take to get a granite top?
After the cabinets are in, templating, fabrication and installation usually take a number of days to a couple of weeks, depending on the shop. We plan the schedule with you.
Can granite chip?
Edges and corners can chip under a hard impact, but small chips can be repaired. See countertop repair.
