Marble

What we love about it

  • Unmatched beauty and veining
  • Naturally cool, which is ideal for baking and pastry work
  • Develops a patina that many homeowners love
  • Significantly increases home value when done right

What to know before buying

  • Softer than granite, so it can etch from acids (lemon, wine, tomato)
  • Requires regular sealing (every 6–12 months)
  • Best treated as a living material, not an indestructible one

Care & maintenance

Wipe spills immediately, especially acidic foods. Use a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Reseal every 6–12 months. Embrace the patina. It's part of marble's character.

Typical price range
$90 – $200+ / sq ft installed

Typical range for a full kitchen install (template, fabricate, install). Final quote depends on slab, edge profile, and cutouts.

What homeowners say

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.
