Our Granite
Beauty That Endures
Not all granite is created equal.
There are actually three grades of granite (A, B, and C) which rate a slab for its overall quality. Naturally, it costs less to buy lower-grade stone from overseas, but we believe the differences make grade-A North American granite well worth it.

Why Grade A Granite?
Richer Colors
The stone’s hues are deeper and more consistent, as opposed to looking soft or faded.
Prettier Patterns
That means a more consistent grain and fewer natural blemishes (like pits or fissures).
Denser Stone
A less-porous slab is more resistant to moisture and cracking, making it more durable and easier to maintain.
Better Investment
Superior granite holds engravings more effectively, requires less work to maintain, and lasts longer.
