Sourcing Granite Slabs
To offer our Charlotte customers the best selection of granite countertops, we source granite slabs from around the world. Since granite is nature-made, we inspect each slab for defects to make sure our customers get the nicest looking granite slabs from which their kitchen countertops will be designed. The granite slabs we sell and install are polished only on one side and edges can be finished in one of several styles available. We also sell sinks and faucets to go with new countertops. Some fabricators classify granite colors under different granite countertops levels, depending on where they purchase their slabs. Not all colors are available in all parts of the world, and what is easily accessible for one fabricator may be the opposite for another.
GRANITE levels
Granite countertops are ranked by levels – Level 1 through Level 3 and exotic. Levels simply indicate how rare or readily available a particular color of granite is. It does not indicate quality level. All granite slabs are of the same quality and durability. Level 1 granite includes the most common colors. Level 3 granite includes stones colors that are rare and exotic. Lower levels of stone are often uniform and consistent, while higher levels have more irregular patterns, also called “movement”.
Even though granite slabs may be classified as the same color, there might be variations in tint, and certain colors are more prevalent in one slab over the other, even though, technically, they are of the same color.
Fast Turn Around Installation
To make it possible for our customers to have beautiful new granite countertops installed in their home in a matter of days, not months, we inventory large quantities of granite slabs locally and use state-of-the art fabrication equipment to increase production efficiency and decrease the lead time needed to install countertops at our customers’ homes.

How to care for Your granite countertops
Granite is one the hardest and toughest material used to make countertops. Aside from its inherent natural beauty, granite’s durability is what makes it a great choice for kitchen countertops. Even though granite countertops are heat and scorch resistant, it is recommended to use trivets for very hot pots to avoid issues related to high temperature differentials between hot pots and a cold granite surface. Granite countertops have low porosity, but still need to be sealed yearly to prevent staining and etching. Spills should be wiped promptly, especially if they are oily or acidic.
To clean your granite tops, simply use a soft cloth, a PH balanced soap and water. Never use harsh chemicals on your granite counters and do not use abrasive sponges. That’s it! Read more about how to take care of your granite countertops.
