Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our granite countertops here.

Is granite a natural stone?

Yes, granite is 100% natural stone, quarried from locations around the world including Brazil, Italy, India, and the United States. Each slab has its own unique color variations and veining, which means no two granite countertops are exactly alike. This natural beauty is one of the main reasons homeowners choose it.

How durable is granite for everyday use?

Granite is one of the hardest natural countertop materials, second only to diamond in terms of hardness. It resists scratches from knives, withstands high heat from pots and pans, and performs well in busy kitchens. With professional installation and proper care, granite countertops can last for decades—even a lifetime.

Does granite require a lot of maintenance?

Granite is relatively low-maintenance, but because it is porous, it should be sealed to help prevent stains and make cleaning easier. Day-to-day care is simple—just wipe the surface with warm water and mild soap. With routine maintenance, granite retains its shine and durability for many years.

What our Customers are Saying

"Gomez Granite did a fantastic job on my counters. From assisting with choosing the right materials to professional, courteous installation they are the best. When my sink was late, they offered to pick one up in San Antonio for me to get the install done on time. I highly recommend them for any counter updates!"

Past Customer

"I hired Granite Gomez to change our granite countertops to quartz and cut down the bar section to counter height level (before and after below). Everything from the beginning to end was handled professionally and the work was done with the highest quality. The communication was top notch. I would definitely hire Jesse and his crew again."
