How much do granite countertops cost in Canada?

CAD $62–$71 per square foot installed, usually the least expensive natural stone option.

How often does granite need sealing?

About once a year. Test by leaving water beads on the surface for 15 minutes; if the stone darkens, reseal.

Can you put hot pans on granite?

Granite tolerates heat far better than quartz, but thermal shock can crack any stone, so trivets are still sensible.

The busy brown and gold speckled granites of the early 2000s are. Modern selection favours quieter, more linear stones and leathered finishes.

Can I pick my exact granite slab?

Yes. We photograph and tag the specific slab reserved for your job before fabrication.
