Granite countertops
Granite is quarried natural stone — every slab is different, it shrugs off hot pans, and it holds up to decades of daily cooking. We stock and source granite for kitchens across Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma and Auburn, and cut it in our own shop.
Deep charcoal base with silver mica flecks — pairs with white and wood-grain cabinets.
Soft white field with garnet specks; a warm alternative to plain white quartz.
Dramatic burgundy and gold movement for statement islands.
Green and bronze veining that works with rustic and craftsman kitchens.
Granite takes direct heat better than any engineered surface, so a hot pan off the burner is a non-event. It is also the most cost-effective natural stone per square foot in our yard, and the variation between slabs means your kitchen will not look like the one down the street.
Granite is porous, so we seal it at install and recommend resealing every 12 to 18 months. In practice that is a ten-minute job with a spray sealer and a soft cloth. Day to day, warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner is all it needs — skip vinegar and bleach.
Polished is the standard, but leathered and honed finishes are increasingly popular on darker granites because they hide fingerprints and water spots. We fabricate eased, bullnose, ogee, bevel and mitered waterfall edges in-house.
Granite wins on heat resistance and price per square foot; quartz wins on stain resistance and consistency. If you cook a lot and want a natural, one-of-a-kind surface, granite is the better fit.
Once at installation, then roughly every 12 to 18 months. If water stops beading on the surface, it is time to reseal.
Chips happen at edges and around sink cutouts from heavy impacts, and they are usually repairable with color-matched epoxy. Our care guide covers what to do.
We fabricate in Auburn and install statewide across Washington, with most work in King, Pierce, Snohomish, Kitsap and Thurston counties.
