Pricing

What actually moves the price of a granite countertop

Nobody can quote stone from a web page, but you should know what you are being quoted on before you talk to anyone. These are the seven things that change the number.

Slab & grade
The single biggest factor. Granite is priced in tiers by rarity, origin and how dramatic the movement is. A steady mid-tone speckle and an exotic book-matched slab can differ by a multiple, not a percentage — for the same square footage.
Square footage
Measured off your layout, not the room. An L-shaped kitchen with an island is usually 45–70 sq ft; a single vanity is often under 15.
Edge profile
An eased or bevelled edge is standard. Ogee, full bullnose and mitred build-ups take more machine and hand time, and are priced per linear foot. See the profiles below.
Cutouts
Undermount sink, cooktop, faucet and soap-dispenser holes are each cut and polished. Undermount sinks need the exposed inner edge finished, which is more work than a drop-in.
Seams
Slabs come in finite sizes. A long run or a big island may need a seam — where it falls is a design decision worth making deliberately rather than discovering on install day.
Tear-out
Removing and disposing of your existing tops is separate work. Tell us what is there now — laminate lifts out easily, old stone does not.
Access
Stairs, elevators, tight turns and parking all affect how many people it takes to land a slab safely. Mention it early; it is never a surprise we enjoy.
Why no price list
Because a number without your slab in it would be a guess. Two kitchens of identical size can differ by thousands depending on which slab you fall for. What we will do is tell you which of the factors above is driving your number, so you can see where the money is going and change it if you want to. Quoting is free and costs you nothing but the details.
Straight answers

Sealing, heat and the two things granite actually asks of you

Granite has a reputation for being high-maintenance that is mostly inherited from marble. It is not the same stone and it does not behave the same way.

Sealing
Yes, but less often than you have been told. Granite is porous to varying degrees — some slabs considerably more than others, which is why a blanket rule is useless. It is sealed before it leaves our shop. After that, the honest test is to leave a few drops of water on it for fifteen minutes: if the stone darkens underneath, it wants resealing. For most kitchen granites that is somewhere between annual and every few years, and the job takes about twenty minutes with a bottle from a hardware store.
Heat
This is granite’s real advantage and nobody talks about it. It is natural stone formed under heat, and a pan straight off the burner will not scorch it or thermally shock it. If you cook the way most people actually cook — putting things down where there is space rather than where the trivet is — granite forgives that and quartz does not.
Acid
Granite does not etch the way marble does. It is silicate rather than calcium carbonate, so lemon juice, wine and tomato do not dissolve the polish. Strongly acidic or alkaline cleaners can degrade the sealer over time, so a mild pH-balanced cleaner is still what we would use.
Scratches and chips
Harder than marble and harder than most quartz. Knives will not mark it — the counter will dull the knife first. The vulnerable part is the edge, particularly a delicate profile at a corner where people walk past carrying things.
Every slab is different
This is the part that matters most and gets skipped. You are not choosing “granite”, you are choosing one specific slab, and the difference between two slabs of the same named stone can be considerable. Where the movement falls on your island is decided when we lay out the cut. It costs nothing to decide deliberately and cannot be changed afterwards.
Fabrication detail

Edge profiles we cut

The edge is the part you touch every day and the part most people never get asked about. Cross-sections, drawn to the same scale.

EasedSquare with the sharpness taken off. The default, and the quietest.
Full bullnoseFully rounded. Soft, forgiving, traditional.
Half bullnoseRounded top, flat underside. Sheds water well.
BevelAn angled chamfer. Crisp and contemporary.
OgeeAn S-curve. The most decorative, and the most hand time.
Mitred build-upTwo pieces joined to fake a thicker slab. The waterfall look.
Choosing a material

Granite, quartz, marble or quartzite?

We fabricate all four, so we have no reason to push you toward one. Here is the honest version.

MaterialWhat it isSealingHeatBest when
GranitNatural stone. Every slab different — you choose the actual slab.Periodic resealingVery high toleranceYou want natural stone and real variation, and you cook.
QuartzEngineered — crushed stone bound with resin. Pattern is consistent.Never; non-porousLower — use a trivetYou want a predictable look and the least upkeep.
MarbreNatural stone, softer and more porous. Etches with acid.Regular sealingHigh toleranceYou want the look and accept a surface that ages.

Where the stone comes from

Where our granite slabs come from

We work through these distributors and manufacturers. Already fallen for a specific colour? Give us the brand and the name — we will source that slab and quote it. You don’t need to buy or move it yourself.

What happens next

From your first message to installed stone

Step 01

Tell us about the space

Room, rough size, the material you are leaning toward. Bring whatever you have — a contractor’s plan, a phone photo, or nothing but a room and an idea.

Step 02

Slab selection and measurements

We go through granite slab options, exact measurements, edge profile, sink and cutout requirements, and what the install actually involves at your place.

Step 03

Confirm the scope and price

Everything agreed in writing before anything is cut — the slab, the seam placement, the edge, the date.

Step 04

Fabricate and install

Cut, shaped and finished in our shop, then installed by the people who made it — our own granite installers. Concept to execution in 30 days.

Service area

We travel across southern Ontario

The GTA is home, but we fabricate and install well beyond it. If your town is not on this list, ask — the answer is usually yes.

Common questions

Before you request a quote

How much do granite countertops cost?

Honestly — it depends on the slab more than anything else, and the range between an everyday granite and an exotic one is wide enough that any number we published here would mislead you. Rather than a headline price, we will walk you through which of the seven factors above is driving your quote, so you can see where the money is going and adjust it. Quoting is free.

Do I need exact measurements to get started?

No — and if you are waiting until you have them, you are waiting for no reason. Pace out the run, take a photo, tell us roughly what you are thinking. We measure properly before anything goes near the saw; that visit is what the cut gets made from.

Does granite need to be sealed?

Yes — granite is a natural stone and porous to varying degrees depending on the slab. It is sealed before it leaves the shop and needs resealing periodically. If you would rather never think about it, quartz is the answer and we fabricate that too.

Do you remove my existing countertops?

Tear-out and disposal is separate work we can include in the quote. Tell us what is there now — laminate comes out easily, old stone is a bigger job.

How long does it take?

We work to concept-to-execution in 30 days. Where you land in that window depends on slab availability and how quickly measurements and the scope get confirmed.

Do you install granite countertops, or only fabricate them?

Both. We are granite fabricators and granite installers in one shop — measured, cut and installed by the same people, anywhere in southern Ontario.

Do you serve my area?

The list above is a sample of where we have worked, not the edge of where we go. We travel across southern Ontario. Ask about your town rather than assuming it is too far.

I’ve already picked a slab at a distributor. Can you use it?

Yes — tell us the brand and colour name and we will source that slab and quote it. We work through sixteen distributors and manufacturers, so if you have fallen for a specific Caesarstone, Hanstone or Vicostone colour, bring the name and we will handle getting it. You don’t need to buy or transport the slab yourself.
