Granite Countertops Hard, hot, and one of a kind.
Naturally beautiful and virtually indestructible. The original premium countertop, born from cooled magma deep in the earth.
The story behind granite.
Igneous rock formed under intense heat. Granite is hard, heat-resistant, and every slab is geologically one of a kind.
What we love about it
- Extremely hard and scratch-resistant
- Heat-resistant, so you can set hot pots directly on it
- Each slab is unique
- Long-lasting when properly sealed
- Excellent value vs. premium engineered stones
What to know before buying
- Needs resealing every 1–3 years
- Patterns vary from slab to slab, so always see the actual slab before ordering
- Heavy, so cabinets must support the load
Care & maintenance
Wipe with mild soap and warm water. Avoid acidic cleaners (vinegar, citrus). Reseal once a year for kitchens, every 2–3 years for low-traffic surfaces.
Typical range for a full kitchen install (template, fabricate, install). Final quote depends on slab, edge profile, and cutouts.

Trusted by families across New England.
Six states, hundreds of kitchens, one shop that picks up the phone.
“Douglas and his team made our kitchen renovation the easy part of the whole project. The laser templating was so precise, the cuts around our farmhouse sink are perfect. They cleaned up better than they found it.”
“Finally, a stone company that actually picks up the phone. Douglas measured on Monday, my counters were in by Friday. The Black Galaxy is stunning in person, and the price was fair.”
“I'd been quoted by three other shops for a marble vanity. HDS was not the cheapest, but they were the only ones who listened to what I actually wanted. The vein-matching on the backsplash is jaw-dropping.”
“We wanted a Brazilian-style churrasqueira built into our deck. Douglas got it immediately: granite that holds up to fire and a Cape Cod winter. Six months in and it looks exactly like the day they installed it.”
“We're an hour and a half from their shop and they still came up for the estimate and the install at no upcharge. Most importantly, they were honest when we asked about marble vs. quartz for a family with three kids.”
“We hired HDS for our whole house. Three trips, zero drama. The fireplace surround in honed black granite is what every visitor compliments. Worth every dollar.”
