Granite Countertops in Summerville, SC

See our featured Natural Stone Kitchen Countertop Project.

Granite countertops are cut from solid natural stone. Quarries remove granite in large blocks, which are sliced into slabs and then shaped for your kitchen or bathroom. Nothing is added to the stone except a sealer after installation.

Granite is still a favorite for Summerville homes. Quartz has become popular too, but many homeowners want a surface that comes straight from nature, and no factory can copy that look exactly.

Granite is an igneous rock. It forms when magma cools slowly underground, which makes it dense and hard. Marble, by contrast, is a metamorphic rock that forms under heat and pressure, so it is softer and more porous.

The stone is made mostly of quartz and feldspar, with mica and other minerals. These give granite its speckled grain and color range, from jet black and deep green to white, gray, gold and brown.

Look closely and you will see crystals of different sizes scattered across the slab. Engineered stone repeats the same pattern, while every granite slab has its own movement. That natural variety is why we invite you to pick your slab in person. Learn more on our main granite countertops page.

Here is why so many Summerville homeowners choose granite.

• Durable surface. Granite is one of the hardest natural stones used for countertops, and it handles daily cooking well.
• Home appeal. Stone countertops are a feature buyers look for, so granite can help your kitchen stand out when you sell.
• One-of-a-kind look. No two slabs are the same. Granite brings natural texture to a farmhouse kitchen, a modern remodel or a classic Lowcountry home.
• Simple daily care. A sealed granite countertop wipes clean with warm water and a mild soap.
• Scratch resistance. Granite resists scratches from normal kitchen use, though a cutting board still protects your knives and the surface.
• A wide range of colors. Choose from blacks, whites, grays, browns, golds and greens, in speckled or veined patterns.

In short, granite is durable, natural and full of character. With the right sealer and simple care, it keeps its good looks for years and suits almost any kitchen style.

Granite has a few drawbacks to weigh before you decide.

• Cost. Granite costs more than laminate or butcher block. The slab, finish, edge and layout all affect the price.
• Sealing. Granite is porous, so most slabs need a sealer. How often depends on the stone and the sealer, so we tell you what your slab needs.
• Professional installation. Granite slabs are heavy and need an accurate template, so this is not a DIY project.
• Repairs. Granite is hard to damage, but a chip or crack needs a stone repair expert. Some damage cannot be fully hidden.

Granite asks for a bit of care in return for its strength and natural beauty. Weigh the cost and upkeep against the look you want for your kitchen.

Planning a new granite kitchen countertop in Summerville? We handle your project from the first conversation to the final installation, so you work with one team.

• Consultation. Tell us about your kitchen or bathroom, your style and your budget. We help you compare granite colors and finishes.
• Slab selection. Visit our stone yard in Summerville by appointment to pick your actual slab and see how the pattern moves across the stone. Read more about choosing your slab at our stone yard.
• Measurement. We measure your space and check the cabinets, plumbing and walls before we plan.
• Template and layout. You approve the layout, seams, edge, finish and cutouts before we cut.
• Fabrication. We cut and finish your granite in our own workshop.
• Delivery and installation. We deliver the countertops to your home and install them.

Your estimate covers the granite, fabrication, delivery, installation and sealing, plus any support the cabinets need. Removal of your old countertop can be added to your estimate. Lifting heavy pieces to a second floor or extra crew may cost extra. Plumbing and gas reconnection, painting and touch-ups are done by other trades, and we confirm the full scope in writing.

On average, our projects reach installation in about 14 to 17 days, but your schedule depends on the slab, your approvals and your site. We confirm dates with your estimate. Request yours today.

We fabricate granite countertops for Summerville kitchens of every size. Tell us the shape you have in mind, and we check what the slab and your layout allow.

A large island, a compact galley run or an L-shaped corner all start with your measurements. Big layouts may need more than one slab, so we plan seams with you during templating to keep the pattern flowing.

Edges shape the style. Most of our customers choose a simple flat edge. A double bullnose or mitered edge takes more fabrication and adds to the cost.

The finish changes the look too. Polished granite brings out deep color and shine, while honed and leathered finishes give a softer, textured surface. Not every slab comes in every finish, so we confirm it with your stone.

Color and pattern matter most. Speckled, veined or nearly solid, each slab is unique. See it in person before you decide, so you know how it will look in your kitchen.

Need a little more stone to finish the job? Ask us about remnants. A suitable remnant can sometimes replace a second full slab and keep your project within budget.

We also use granite for vanities, bars, laundry rooms and fireplace surrounds, for residential and commercial spaces.
