Granite Countertops

Natural, durable, heat-resistant, and every slab is one of a kind.

Granite is natural stone quarried in massive slabs, then cut to fit your kitchen. Because it's natural, every slab is unique, the color and movement in your countertop won't exist anywhere else.

It's extremely durable and heat-resistant, so you can set a hot pan straight off the stove on it without a second thought, which makes it a long-time favorite for serious cooks. It also stands up to scratches and everyday wear as well as almost any countertop material.

Granite is one of the best values in natural stone. Entry-level colors compete with quartz on price while giving you a real, one-of-a-kind natural surface, which is why it stays a favorite for Northern Virginia kitchen remodels on a budget. The exotic, high-movement slabs sit at the premium end.

Because it's porous, granite should be sealed. We seal it at installation, and you can refresh the seal about once a year, a quick job, not a chore. Day to day, clean it with mild soap and water and it will look great for decades.

We source a wide range of granite from MSI Surfaces, North America's largest natural-stone distributor, among other suppliers. Because color and movement vary slab to slab, we help you choose and, for dramatic stones, select your actual slab so the counter that goes in is the one you picked.
