USING GRANITE IN YOUR HOME

Granite can be used in a variety of ways for your home’s design.

This beautiful stone has the ability to not only elevate your home’s look and feel but create a higher functioning home due to its qualities.

Kitchens:

Granite has many applications; however, one of the most common and better uses is for your kitchen countertops.

It creates an environment in your kitchen that is as inviting as the wonderful smell of your famous jalapeno and cheddar cheese dip.

While inviting and elegant, granite counters provide much more than looks. Heat-resistant, strong enough to hold up to scratches, and easily cleaned when spills occur, granite countertops create a durable, easy to clean highly functional surface. Perfect for your kitchen’s everyday wear and tear and sure to please your eyes each and every time.

The benefits of using granite in your kitchen don’t end with your countertops.

Granite backsplashes are also a great way to add a pop to your look all while providing additional functionality to your kitchen.

Outdoor Kitchens:

Hosting BBQs, bonfires, pool parties and more just got an upgrade.

Granite countertops provide a level of luxury and elegance that make the outdoors feel more like home. Enjoy the fresh air while maintaining the modern sophistication you and your guests are accustomed to.

An outdoor kitchen with this type of stone will impress all of your guests with its amazing aesthetic and let’s not forget, the functionality they provide.

Similar to fulfilling and surpassing your indoor kitchen’s needs, granite countertops can hold up to the harsh environment day-in and day-out that Houston provides.

A great solution to resist water and withstand heat, granite countertops will have your next bonfire, tailgate, or BBQ the place to be when it’s time to unwind.

An accent wall or focal point:

The beauty of granite can be displayed in a variety of ways, and the more creative, the more buzz your guests will make.

Accenting your living room with granite tables and end pieces are a great way to provide a beautiful look that will hold up when your kids “forget” to use the coasters.

Highlighting a mantle or a fireplace with heat resistant granite is another great way to display your home as not just a house but a work of art.

Speaking of art, have you considered using stone as an installation piece?

A granite wall or larger pieces installed on your wall is a great way to bring your home’s inhabitants eyes to one singular focal point.

THE BENEFITS OF USING A “ONE-STOP-SHOP”

Using granite in your home is a great choice when you want an elevated look all while installing a material fit to stand the test of everyday life; however, not all installations are the same.

When you consider the process of replacing and installing a countertop or wall with granite, things can begin to get a bit more complicated.

Beyond choosing a look and cut, logistics must be figured out such as customized measurements for your project’s physical space, the loading/unloading of both the materials that were there before and your new granite, and of course the actual work involved to create your new stone properly.

Many shops only do a part of the job.

This leaves homeowners paying additional fees and inflated prices for subcontractors who all contribute and all want their share of the money involved.

When you hire the right contractor that has the ability to source quality granite, fabricate and design custom pieces for their clients, securely install the new piece, and remove and dispose of the existing materials in place, you, the customer, end up saving tremendously.

Both in time and money.

Granite is a comparatively affordable option that can add character to any home’s look and create a style that both your family and your guests will fall in love with.
