Frequently Asked Questions

Why Granite?

Granite is a one time investment in your home. You won’t need to replace it in a few years like the man-mades that get scratches and fade. Granite adds value to your home (and sells it much faster), whereas man-mades are either no added value, and in some cases man-mades actually decrease the sellability of your home. It’s the all-natural and “green” option for countertops. We fabricate it with just air and water. And of course, we can all agree that it’s the most beautiful! Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but this rock is appealing to men and women.

I heard you shouldn’t have granite because it’s a lot of maintenance and you have to seal it all the time?

Lies! Lies! Lies! The big fuss over sealing is a myth from the man-made companies. They have to find a reason for you to pay just as much for something fake. Granite is so easy to maintain. You can clean it with just water and a special 3-1 cleaner, polisher, and sealer that we will give you at installation and whenever you want more. Sealing is a once a year process where you pour a little bottle of the sealer we give you onto the tops, wait 15 min, and wipe it back off. That’s it!

Where does Granite come from?

Granite is mined all over the world. We have stone from South America, Africa, Asia, and Antarctica (Just kidding, we don’t have stone from Antarctica, but it sounds pretty cool right?)

What’s Lori’s biggest pet peeve?

That some companies don’t bother to show their customers the wide world of granite! There’s more to granite than the basic four or five stones that everyone stocks. In fact, there are as many kinds of granite as there are flowers.

Can we tell all our friends about Granite Grannies?

Of course! In fact, when our customers refer their friends, family, and co-workers, we make sure to send them a thank you note and a Starbucks gift certificate.
