Granite Mountain Countertops recently completed a stunning kitchen project in the Big Sky region, featuring the sophisticated and elegant Black Vermont Granite in a honed finish. This exceptional material brings a deep, rich texture to the space, serving as a dramatic and timeless focal point that complements the overall kitchen design. The choice of a honed finish softens the stone's appearance, providing a matte look that reduces glare while emphasizing the natural beauty and subtle characteristics inherent to the granite.
The project highlights a high level of craftsmanship, particularly showcased in the installation of a box mitered leg that seamlessly supports the matching mitered top. This complex detail creates a clean, continuous waterfall effect, giving the impression of a single, solid block of stone anchored to the floor. Through precise fabrication and expert execution, Granite Mountain Countertops delivered a visually striking and durable solution that elevates the kitchen's aesthetic while providing a highly functional surface tailored for everyday living.

Find answers to the most common questions about our granite countertops here.
Yes. Granite is one of the most durable natural stones available. It’s resistant to heat, scratches, and everyday wear, making it ideal for high-traffic kitchens. You can place hot pots or pans on the surface without damage, and its hardness helps protect against knife marks. With proper installation and care, granite countertops can last for decades while maintaining their natural beauty.
Yes. Granite is naturally porous, so sealing helps prevent liquids from seeping in and causing stains. Once sealed, granite becomes highly resistant to moisture, bacteria, and spills. Most fabricators recommend resealing every few years, depending on how frequently the surface is used. Regular cleaning with mild soap and warm water keeps it looking new and helps maintain the protective seal.
Not at all. Granite countertops are easy to maintain with simple daily cleaning—no harsh chemicals required. Because sealed granite resists stains, bacteria, and heat, it’s a practical choice for busy households. Just wipe up spills promptly and use gentle cleaners to preserve its finish. With minimal care, granite remains one of the longest-lasting and most attractive countertop materials available.
