- GHGrant HolbrookJul 8, 20255.0Huntsville Granite was a joy to work with throughout the previous kitchen remodel, and CJ was always there to pick up the phone and answer any questions I had. Their cut shop out back does impressive work, and did not disappoint. They had great Taj Mahal Quartzite connections and recommendations. I would recommend Huntsville Granite to anyone in need of new countertops. Thank you!
- AWAnnette WassellOct 24, 20245.0CJ, the salesman, was great. He is not only a very nice guy, he answered every question and was very knowledgeable about the products. The installers were also very good. I have 5 sections of countertop, and they all fit perfectly. They even did a great job of cleaning everything before they left. I would give this company more stars if I could. Highly recommend.
- DSDelores SheltonFeb 16, 20235.0Very pleased with the service and the results. Would use them again.
- RLRachel LesterJul 9, 20215.0Lauren was fantastic to work with! Responsive and helpful. I appreciated the 3D drawing in advance to approve the countertop design. No slips in schedule- tear out/template date and install dates were one week apart which in this crazy market is impressive.
- DHDeborah HeikesMar 4, 20215.0Huntsville Granite and Marble did a great job on our kitchen countertops from beginning to end. Lauren (and sometimes Reed) in the office was amazingly responsive and helpful through our long, long process of choosing the right material. She never lost patience with us even though we were in the store repeatedly to pick up or drop off samples and we were constantly asking for prices, which she always provided promptly. The install team was equally polite and highly competent. They worked professionally and left us with a clean kitchen at the end of the process. One small piece of backsplash was overlooked on our order, but they found that piece and fixed the problem immediately. Throughout the process, we were especially happy with the level of communication they provided This is our second time to use HGM, and we would happily work with them again. They made the whole experience plesant.
Frequently Asked Questions About Huntsville Granite & Marble LLC
What is Etching?
Etching only occurs in calcium-based stones such as Marble, Limestone, or Travertine. GRANITE IS NOT a calcium-based stone, therefore under normal circumstances, it will not etch.
Marble is a softer stone than granite...therefore etching occurs when the calcium carbonate makeup of the stone is eaten away at from acidic substances leaving dull spots known as "ETCHES". It is a chemical reaction that will happen with Marble.
What is Staining?
Stains, unfortunately, can occur in ALL countertop materials regardless of what manufacturers or countertop salespeople tell you. With that being said, some materials are much more resistant to stains than others. Granite and Quartz for example are much more resistant to staining than a more porous based stone such as Marble.
Thankfully, most stains are relatively easy to remove by a trained stone fabricator. At Huntsville Granite & Marble our staff is trained and certified annually by a "Dry-Treat" sealing product expert. Dry-Treat is widely considered to be the premier hard surface sealing product on the market today and we apply this product as recommended by the manufacturer to help prevent staining.
Staining is NOT a common occurrence we face on countertops we install, however, it can happen. We always recommend cleaning with mild soap and water and to clean up spills when they happen. Feel free to call or visit us anytime with questions!
What is the Difference Between Granite & Quartz?
Granite Countertops are a natural stone and Quartz Countertops are manufactured. Granite is a naturally occurring stone, therefore, no two slabs of granite will be the same. Quartz stone countertops tend to be more consistent in color and pattern. However, many Quartz manufacturers are evolving to offer colors and patterns that mimic natural stone.
Granite is one of the hardest materials on Earth and is extremely durable. With normal everyday use, your Granite countertop will last a lifetime.
Quartz is just as hard as Granite, making it extremely durable as well. With normal everyday use, Quartz will last a very long time.
So which is better? It depends on personal preference and style. One customer appreciates the natural veining and movement found in many of our Granite slabs, while another customer prefers the consistency of a Quartz product. Both Granite and Quartz will improve your kitchen or bathroom space for years to come and increase the value of your home.
