We buy from almost all of the importers in town, and we encourage you to visit one or two of our granite suppliers to select your slabs in person. Pricing is grouped from 1 to 5, Price Group 5 is the most expensive. The busier the veining and the more exotic the stone, the higher the group. Busy veining also requires more raw stone, because the pattern needs to be matched across seams.
This is the decision most homeowners never hear about, and it changes the finished look:
Edge profiles range from simple eased and beveled edges to full bullnose and ogee. Polish level, sink and cooktop cutouts, faucet-hole drilling, and seam placement are all planned at template, before any stone is cut.
Granite suits homeowners who want a natural, one-of-a-kind surface and are comfortable with a little maintenance. In Arizona it has a specific advantage over engineered alternatives: natural stone handles intense sun exposure through kitchen windows without the discoloration risk that can affect some resin-based products, and it tolerates hot cookware straight off the stove. Like all natural stone, granite is porous and arrives sealed from the fabricator, with periodic re-sealing part of owning it, which our dry, dusty climate makes worth staying on top of. See real installations in our granite project gallery.
Every granite quote is built from:
We'd rather show you these numbers against your actual kitchen than quote a generic per-square-foot figure that changes at template. That's what the free in-home estimate is for.
We measure your kitchen or bath, review cabinet condition, and discuss edge and thickness options.
We invite you to hand-select your stone at one of our suppliers, the slab you approve is the slab you get.
After cabinets are set and appliances are on site, precise templates are made for the fabricator, the partner we use has over 60 years of experience and precision water-jet cutting.
Slabs are cut, edged, and polished; busy-veined stone is laid out for seam matching.
Countertops are set and leveled, sinks mounted, and we handle the plumbing and appliance re-connections.
Stone arrives sealed; we review care with you before we leave.
Wipe spills promptly, especially oils, wine, and citrus. Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner, not vinegar or abrasive scrubbers. Re-seal with a penetrating sealer as needed (a water-drop test tells you: if water darkens the stone instead of beading, it's time). Use trivets for very hot cookware out of habit, and cutting boards to protect both the sealer and your knives.
We encourage it. Color and veining vary slab to slab, and busy patterns need to be seen at full scale. We'll point you to one or two of our suppliers and help you read the stone for seam matching and yield.
3 cm is thicker material laid directly on cabinets with a simpler edge; 2 cm installs over plywood with a laminated, built-up edge that levels uneven cabinets and gives a more finished overhang.
Yes, but it's simple. Granite arrives sealed from the fabricator. Reapply a penetrating sealer when a water drop stops beading. Arizona's low humidity doesn't eliminate the need; dust and daily cooking residue make a good sealer worthwhile.
Yes. Our crew coordinates the plumbing and appliance re-connections as part of the installation, so you're not scheduling separate trades for the final step.
That's our specialty. We routinely combine countertops with decorative tile backsplashes, tile and stone floors, and bathroom vanities in one coordinated project, one estimate, one schedule.
Hand-picked slab, precise fabrication, accountable installation, one East Valley company has handled all three since 1984. Call (480) 926-3444 or contact us for your free in-home estimate. Browse our granite gallery or read customer reviews first.
