Our Stone
Six materials. One decision.
Chosen by eye, in person, from the piece you will actually get.
How to read this page
The material decides less than people think.
Almost every kitchen we are asked about could be built well in three of the six materials below. What actually settles it is where the surface lives, how it will be used, and which slab you stand in front of and want. So read this as a shortlist, then come and look.
We keep full-size slabs in the yard and a racked sample gallery under cover at the showroom. Nothing here is ordered from a chip.
Interior surfaces
Granite, quartz, marble, quartzite.
Granite. Natural, quarried, and no two slabs the same. Hard, heat-tolerant and forgiving of a working kitchen. Sealed on install and resealed as it needs it. If you want movement and depth in the stone rather than a uniform field, this is usually where the conversation starts.
Quartz. Engineered rather than quarried — ground stone bound in resin, so the slab is consistent end to end, non-porous and never needs sealing. The choice when you want the pattern you saw in the sample to be the pattern you get across the whole run, and the lowest-maintenance surface in the list.
Marble. The softest of the four and the most beautiful. It etches, it patinas, and people who love it love it for that. We will tell you honestly where it belongs in your house and where it will make you unhappy — often that means marble on a bath vanity or a fireplace face and something harder around the range.
Quartzite. Natural stone with the look people usually want from marble and closer to granite in hardness. Directional, linear veining rather than a speckle. It is the answer more often than most people expect, and it is worth seeing a full slab before you decide.
Exterior stone
Natural stone veneer and paving stone.
Natural stone veneer. Real stone, cut thin and set against a wall: chimneys, columns, foundations, outdoor kitchens, fireplace faces, the front of a house. Laid dry-stacked or mortared, in fieldstone, ledgestone and cut coursed patterns. The stone is the finish, so the pattern is set before a piece is cut.
Paving stone. Flagstone, brick and concrete pavers for patios, walkways, steps and driveways. Chosen for grip and for what freeze and Carolina summer do to a joint over ten years, then laid on a base built for the ground it is actually sitting on.
