Granite Kitchen Countertops in Utica, New York
Granite is a unique, naturally occurring stone that can withstand the tests of time. With hundreds of different patterns and incredible colors, granite has always been a favorite for kitchens and baths. Depending on the color, granite can be extremely durable and non-staining. The darker the stone, the more reliable it is. This stone disperses heat incredibly well because of how naturally porous it is, which makes it the perfect stone for a kitchen. Once sealed, granite is also really easy to clean. Browse our most popular granite patterns or larger selection.

How Do I Care For My New Granite Countertops?
Granite does not require much care; once sealed, granite is easy to clean. Click on our care sheet to learn how to maintain your new granite countertops. Natural stone countertops are not only durable and well-suited to the task, but they will add a beautiful and organic design element to any space.
One countertop cleaner we stand by for all stone materials is “Barkeeper’s Friend.”
DO: Use “Bar Keepers Friend” or a PH neutral, non abrasive cleaning product to keep your surfaces clean without affecting the finish! Prolonged use of any cleaner, including dish soap, can leave a dull film on a polished surface. This can be removed with a granite cleaner or repolishing depending upon the exposure.
DON’T: Use harsh or abrasive cleaners and sponges! Windex and other acidic cleaners like vinegar, lemon, lime, or any cleaner with ammonia or bleach, will dull and weaken the sealant over time. Basically the harsher the cleaner, the quicker it will break down the sealant and the natural components of the stone.
DO: Make sure your natural stone countertop is always properly sealed! We recommend you seal your stone surface every year or so, unless you have purchased an extended sealer, which may extend the longevity of your sealant for up to 15 years if properly maintained.
