Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our granite countertops here.

Is granite a natural stone?

Yes, granite is 100% natural stone, quarried from locations around the world including Brazil, Italy, India, and the United States. Each slab has its own unique color variations and veining, which means no two granite countertops are exactly alike. This natural beauty is one of the main reasons homeowners choose it.

How durable is granite for everyday use?

Granite is one of the hardest natural countertop materials, second only to diamond in terms of hardness. It resists scratches from knives, withstands high heat from pots and pans, and performs well in busy kitchens. With professional installation and proper care, granite countertops can last for decades—even a lifetime.

Does granite require a lot of maintenance?

Granite is relatively low-maintenance, but because it is porous, it should be sealed to help prevent stains and make cleaning easier. Day-to-day care is simple—just wipe the surface with warm water and mild soap. With routine maintenance, granite retains its shine and durability for many years.
