Granite countertops have long been a favourite for homeowners who want a surface that’s as beautiful as it is durable. Formed deep beneath the earth’s surface over millions of years, granite brings a truly natural element into your home — with rich colours, unique veining, and a strength that’s made to last.
No two granite slabs are ever the same. Each piece tells its own story through natural patterning, mineral deposits, and colour variations. Whether you’re updating a busy family kitchen or designing a refined bathroom retreat, granite offers the perfect combination of function and elegance.
We fabricate and install custom granite countertops in Uxbridge, Kawartha Lakes, Peterborough, Durham Region, Cottage Country, and surrounding areas. Our expert team helps you select the right slab, finish, and edge profile — ensuring a countertop that fits both your space and your style.
100% Natural Stone
Granite is mined directly from the earth and polished into slabs, giving you a surface with unmatched natural beauty.
Highly Durable
Resistant to heat, scratches, and wear — granite performs well in even the busiest kitchens.
Unique Appearance
Every slab has its own colours, patterns, and textures. You’ll never see two that are exactly alike.
Adds Value to Your Home
Granite is often viewed as a premium material in real estate listings and adds resale value to your property.
Suitable for Indoor & Outdoor Use
Granite holds up in covered outdoor kitchens and BBQ spaces — something many engineered surfaces can’t handle.
Kitchen countertops
Bathroom vanities
Outdoor kitchen surfaces
Fireplace surrounds
Tabletops & islands
Reception desks or bar tops
Our inventory includes a wide range of granite options:
Colours: black, white, beige, blue, green, and multicolour blends
Patterns: speckled, veined, and marbled textures
Finishes:
Polished – glossy, reflective surface
Honed – smooth and matte
Leathered – textured and slightly rustic
Looking for something bold? Try a dramatic dark slab with gold flecks. Prefer something classic? Go with a soft white or grey granite for timeless appeal.

While granite is durable, a little care helps it last for decades:
Seal your countertop every 1–3 years to prevent staining
Wipe spills quickly, especially oil, wine, or acidic juices
Use mild soap and water for daily cleaning
Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive pads
We offer professional sealing options for long-term protection and low maintenance.
