Granite is perfect in every room, including your kitchen and bathrooms! It is the perfect choice to act as any surface from custom countertops and wet bars to wall surrounds and flooring slabs. We are the top granite countertop installers Denver, offering a wide selection of Denver granite countertops to provide you with a large inventory of choices to fit your color scheme.

In general, Granite typically has more dense grains than veining, although numerous variations of these are seen depending on the slab. It is a natural stone and earth-made, composed of different minerals that give unique and one-of-a-kind characteristics. Because it is heavy, we recommend strong and sturdy cabinets to support it for years and years to come. Granite can mostly withstand heat, staining, scratches, etching and cracks compared to other stones. Granite tolerates cold and is highly heat resistant to pans and hot hair tools – making it ideal to incorporate in your kitchen design or for bathroom countertops. For homeowners looking for durability and beauty, granite countertops Denver remain a versatile and practical surface for any type of stone application.

Granite can be restored through refinishes and can last a lifetime when properly taken care of. Granite, unlike Porcelain or Quartz, is porous. Meaning it can become more prone to chemicals and should be sealed correctly as well as maintained through granite-intended cleaning products.
