Identifying the stain and lifting it with the right poultice, so oil, wine, rust and water marks come out without harming the stone.
A stain on granite is not the end of the story. Granite is porous at a microscopic level, so liquids can soak in, but the stain is usually sitting in the pores and can be drawn back out. The trick is knowing what the stain is. Oil stains look dark and spread. Water rings look cloudy. Wine and coffee leave a tint. Rust leaves an orange mark. In Nashville kitchens, we see all of them, and each needs a different treatment.
We identify the stain, then apply a poultice, a paste of absorbent powder and the right solvent, over the area, cover it and let it draw the stain out as it dries. Oil stains use a degreasing solvent, organic stains use a mild oxidizer and rust needs a specific rust remover. We repeat the treatment if needed, then reseal the area. We also explain how to avoid repeat stains and treat spills at home. We also test a small hidden area first whenever the stain type is uncertain.
Oil, organic stains, rust and water marks each need a different approach, so we determine the type before treating.
A paste of absorbent powder and the right solvent is spread, covered and left to draw the stain out as it dries.
Deep stains may need more than one application. We are patient so the stone is not harmed.
Once the stain is out, we reseal so the area resists the next spill.

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 can. Old, deep or multiple stains may need repeated treatments.
Often it is moisture in the stone or a mild etch. We can tell and treat accordingly.
For light stains, a paste of baking soda and water can help. For oil or rust, use the right method.
Resealing helps. Prompt cleanup of spills prevents most repeats.
We use stone-safe products and test first.
