Penetrating sealer applied and cured at install, with a simple water test and care instructions so your granite resists stains from day one.
Granite is dense, but it is not impermeable. Many granites have tiny pores that can absorb oil, wine and colored liquids if left unprotected. A penetrating sealer fills those pores so liquids bead on the surface instead of soaking in. It is a simple step that makes a large difference, especially around the sink and cooktop. In Nashville homes where counters see everything from coffee to cooking oil, sealing at installation is the right start.
We clean the stone, apply a penetrating sealer in thin coats, wipe the excess and let it cure. We then show you the water test: drop a little water on the surface, and if it beads, the seal is working. If it darkens the stone, it is time to reseal. We explain how often to reseal, which cleaners to use and what to avoid, so the protection lasts. We also remind you that new stone should be kept dry and clear for the first day while the sealer settles, and we leave a short written card with the water test and the cleaners we recommend.
The sealer soaks into the stone rather than sitting on top, so the surface looks and feels natural.
Thin, even applications and proper wiping prevent residue and streaks.
A few drops of water show whether the seal is working. We teach you the quick test.
We explain mild cleaners, resealing frequency and what to avoid, including acidic and harsh products.

You tell us about your counters and what you want to change, from a repair to a whole-kitchen install, and we set a visit that fits your day.
We visit, measure, check the cabinets, walls and plumbing and talk through stone, edges, seams and sinks.
We help you choose a slab at local stone yards, plan the layout and give you an itemized written estimate with options.
Once cabinets are set and level, we template the real room, confirm cutouts and seams and send the plan to fabrication.
The stone is cut and polished, old counters are removed and the new granite is carried in, set, seamed and sealed.
We walk the finished counters with you, explain care, run the water test and leave the space clean.
Most do, though denser stones need it less often. We test your stone.
Light use is fine the same day, and we explain cure time for the sealer.
It depends on the stone and use. The water test tells you.
It may slightly deepen some stones, which is normal.
