Love the result.
Granite rewards a thoughtful selection process. Consider the stone alongside your cabinetry, flooring, lighting, and backsplash. Ask to see the overall slab so you understand how its movement might work across an island, perimeter, and seams.
Natural variation
Every slab has its own color, mineral pattern, and movement. View your selected slab rather than relying on a small sample alone.

Granite is a durable natural stone. Use cutting boards and trivets, and follow the care guidance for your particular finish.

How much do granite countertops cost in Rochester, NY?
The cost depends on your selected slab, countertop dimensions, edge profile, cutouts, seams, and installation requirements. Send Stone Galaxy your measurements or drawings and material preferences for a project-specific quote. Ask which services are included so you can compare estimates fairly.
Should I choose granite or quartz for my kitchen?
Granite is a natural stone with unique patterns and typically needs periodic sealing. Quartz is an engineered surface that generally does not require sealing and offers more consistent color options. Both can work beautifully in a kitchen; your preferred appearance, maintenance habits, and project requirements should guide the choice.
Do granite countertops need sealing?
Many granite countertops benefit from sealing, but the right schedule depends on the stone, finish, use, and sealer. Ask for care instructions specific to your selected slab. A pH-neutral cleaner and prompt cleanup are sensible everyday habits.
Will my new countertops have seams?
Some layouts need seams because of slab size, access, support requirements, or the shape of the countertop. Discuss proposed seam placement, pattern direction, and edge details before fabrication. A seam may remain visible, especially in strongly patterned material.
Can I put hot cookware directly on quartz or stone?
Use trivets or heat pads for hot cookware. Quartz resins can be damaged by heat, and natural stone can also suffer thermal stress or damage to its finish or sealer. Follow the material manufacturer’s care guidance.
