Why granite?
 
Granite is one of the hardest stones available, having a rating of 7 on the Mohr's Hardness Scale, putting it just behind the diamond. Granite is the premium stone in the housing industry. It is highly sought after due to its amazing appearance with the different minerals, colors, striations, deposits and veins. The polish created by diamond polishers gives it a glass-like finish which highlights its beauty and depth of color. Granite is nearly impossible to scratch, easy to clean, stain and heat resistant and can easily add tremendous resale value to your home.

What benefits does engineered stone offer that granite does not?
 None; in spite of the misconceptions or falsehoods the engineered stone industry attempts to create about granite, the bottom line is nothing is better than granite when it comes to counter tops! The fact that engineered stone does not have to be sealed has nothing to do with staining and more to do with chemicals that will damage engineered stone! True, granite can get stained, but it's not a change of color, merely something that has gotten into the pores of the stone. By simply using soap and water or an absorbent chemical, the stain is removed. The reality is that when engineered stone gets stained, it is ruined. But don't take our word for it, simply read their warranty and you will see that it is not warranted against staining! Furthermore, it is not even warranted against changes in color due to sunlight (UV rays)!




Does granite hold or grow bacteria?
Another misconception about granite is that it is difficult to clean. The reality is that granite is not only nearly identical to stainless steel when it comes to sanitation! Research has shown that due to its glass-like finish that granite is the least likely of all available counter top materials to hold bacteria! In other words, you're safer with granite or stainless steel than any other products!

Do I need to bring in the measurements of my kitchen to get a price quote?
No; in order to get an accurate price you should have us or anyone else you are considering, to come to your home and give you a “final price” quote.



How hard is it to reseal granite and how often does it need to be done?

 Resealing granite is as simple as waxing your furniture. How often depends on the color, but normally about every two years.

Can we cut on our granite or set a hot pan on it?
You can cut on granite, but since granite is nearly has hard as diamond, you may want to spare your expensive cutlery. Be careful when setting a hot pan on your granite because stone holds heat and can remain hot long after that 400 degree pan has been removed
