Granite Countertops in Miami
Granite countertops for Miami homes—natural stone selection, fabrication, and installation with clear expectations on care.
Natural stone character
Granite brings unique movement and depth. Selection is part science and part taste: we help you understand which stones fit your lighting, cabinetry, and maintenance comfort level in Miami.
Care and sealing
Many granites are resilient, but sealing schedules depend on the specific stone and usage. We provide practical guidance and realistic expectations—not fear-based maintenance.
Selecting granite in Miami
Granite slabs vary enormously in pattern, color, and physical properties. Our Miami clients visit the slab yard to choose their specific piece—what you see is what you get, since no two granite slabs are identical. We guide you through evaluating movement, pitting, and fissure characteristics so there are no surprises after installation. Popular granite families in South Florida include Bianco Antico, Alaska White, Steel Grey, Black Pearl, and Colonial Gold. Each has different sealing requirements and edge-profile suitability that we discuss during material selection.
Fabrication and edge profiling
Our in-house fabrication facility cuts granite using CNC bridge saws and diamond tooling, producing clean edges and tight seam joints. Edge profiles available for granite include eased, beveled, half-bullnose, full-bullnose, ogee, and waterfall mitered edges. We discuss which profiles complement your cabinetry style and daily use patterns. Seam placement is planned during digital templating to minimize visibility—particularly important for granite where pattern continuity matters.
Installation specifics for Miami homes
Granite is heavy—typically 18-20 lbs per square foot at 3cm thickness—so our installation crews bring appropriate equipment and manpower. For Miami homes, we coordinate access, protect flooring and cabinets, and complete plumbing cutouts for undermount sinks on-site. Most residential granite installations in Miami are completed in a single day. We apply initial sealer, connect undermount hardware, and review the finished work with you before the crew leaves.
Granite pricing and value
Granite remains one of the best value propositions in natural stone. Entry-level granites start around $40-55 per square foot installed, while exotic and premium slabs range from $65-100+. For Miami homeowners weighing granite against quartz, we provide side-by-side comparisons covering aesthetics, maintenance, resale value, and long-term durability. Granite's heat tolerance and natural character continue to make it a strong choice for kitchens and outdoor projects.
What to Know in Miami
In Miami, the most common decision points are material durability vs. aesthetics, timeline coordination with other trades, and budget allocation between the island (where guests notice) and perimeter runs (where function matters most). We help you prioritize based on how you actually live — not showroom lighting.
Coastal and pool-adjacent properties in Miami-Dade County need surfaces rated for UV and salt exposure. We'll steer you away from materials that look great indoors but fail within two years outside, and toward options that hold up with minimal maintenance.
Send photos and rough measurements for a same-day ballpark. When you're ready to commit, we template with digital lasers after cabinets are set, fabricate at our Pompano Beach facility, and install — typically within 5–10 business days from template to completion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I keep my existing sink when replacing countertops?
Often yes, but it depends on the sink type and condition. Undermount sinks are removed during countertop replacement and can typically be reinstalled if they are in good condition. Drop-in sinks may or may not fit the new cutout—confirm the dimensions before committing. Farmhouse (apron-front) sinks require specific cabinet and countertop fitting and are usually part of a coordinated replacement. Let us know your sink situation when requesting a quote.
Can you repair a cracked or chipped countertop?
It depends on the damage type, material, and location. Small chips at edges can often be repaired with color-matched filler for a near-invisible result. Hairline cracks that run through the body of the stone are more complex—some can be stabilized with epoxy; others indicate that replacement is the better long-term solution. Send us photos of the damage and the material type and we will give you an honest assessment of repair versus replacement options.
Do you work on commercial projects like restaurants and hotels?
Yes. We serve restaurants, hotels, multi-family developments, and commercial builders throughout South Florida. Commercial projects typically involve volume pricing, coordinated scheduling with GCs, and tight delivery windows. We offer wholesale pricing for builders and developers and can handle phased installation for renovations where operations cannot be fully shut down. Contact us with your project scope for a commercial quote.
Do you seal natural stone countertops after installation?
Yes. We seal granite, quartzite, and marble surfaces as part of our installation process. Natural stone should be resealed periodically after that—typically once a year for kitchen granite, and as needed for marble and quartzite depending on use. We can walk you through the resealing process or recommend products at install.
How fast can I get a countertop estimate?
If you send photos, rough measurements, the city, and the material direction you want, we can usually respond much faster than a showroom-only process. Firm pricing still depends on templating for final field conditions.
How long does countertop fabrication take after templating?
Fabrication typically takes 5–7 business days after templating for most quartz and granite projects. Complex edges, waterfall details, or large commercial jobs may take longer. We confirm your specific timeline at template and keep you updated. Rush scheduling is sometimes available depending on current shop capacity.
What countertop material is best for outdoor kitchens in South Florida?
Porcelain is the top choice for South Florida outdoor kitchens—it is UV-stable, non-porous, handles extreme heat, and resists salt air. Quartzite and granite are also strong outdoor options. Engineered quartz should be avoided outdoors because the resin binder is sensitive to UV and most manufacturer warranties exclude outdoor applications.
Should I choose quartz or granite?
Quartz is typically lower maintenance and more consistent in appearance. Granite offers natural variation and different performance traits depending on the specific stone. The right choice depends on your cooking habits, aesthetics, and how much maintenance you want.
