Countertops in Glastonbury.
We fabricate and install marble, granite, and quartzite countertops for Glastonbury kitchens and baths. Quartzite is the stone people ask for when they want marble in a kitchen that actually gets used. On a long Glastonbury island it is often the piece the rest of the room gets planned around.
We import our stone ourselves and keep it in full slabs at the yard in Hartford, just over the river. Templating, cutting, polishing, and installation all happen through us, which means one company answers for the finished top.
Choosing a fabricator
Four questions worth asking anyone.
Countertop quotes look alike on paper. These are the questions that separate them.
- Who owns the slab?
- Are you choosing from full slabs in the building, or from a photo of something sitting at a distributor? Ours are imported by us and standing in our racks.
- Who cuts it?
- Some showrooms sell the job and send the stone out to be fabricated. Ours is cut, edged, and polished in our own shop on Airport Road.
- Who installs it?
- Ask whether the installers are employees or a crew hired for the day. Ours are ours, and they are the ones who seam and seal it.
- Where does the seam fall?
- On a long island the seam placement matters more than the stone. We lay it out on the slab with you before a blade touches it.
The stone
Taj Mahal, Cristallo, and what else is in.
Selection changes as containers land, so the racks are worth walking rather than browsing.
Quartzite. Taj Mahal is the one most people arrive asking for, a warm cream with soft movement that reads like marble and behaves like something tougher. We usually have it in both 2cm and 3cm, polished. Beyond it, the quartzite racks run from near-white with fine veining to heavily patterned slabs that work better as a single dramatic island than as a full kitchen.

Marble. The classics are here, from Carrara, Calacatta, and Statuario to Crema Marfil, Vermont Danby, and Nero Marquina, in polished or honed finishes. Marble shines on islands, vanities, and fireplace surrounds. It etches and develops a patina with everyday use, so we show you what that looks like before you choose it.

Granite. Granite comes in hundreds of colors and patterns, from Black Absolute and Blue Pearl to Colonial Cream and River White. Most are available polished, honed, or leathered. It handles heat, knives, and a busy family kitchen. With proper sealing it is easy to keep. See the granite we currently have →

Over the river
Walk the racks before you decide.
The yard is at 97 Airport Road in Hartford, a short drive from Glastonbury center. Take in a whole slab at once and mark the section your island should come from. The slab you tag is the slab that becomes your countertop. Weekdays 8:30 to 4:30, Saturday 9 to 1. Get directions →
Glastonbury questions
Asked and answered.
Do you fabricate marble, granite, and quartzite countertops for Glastonbury homes?
Yes. We import all three and keep them in full slabs at the yard in Hartford, just over the river from Glastonbury. We template, cut, polish, and install them ourselves.
What should I ask a countertop fabricator before I hire one?
Ask who owns the slab, who cuts it, and who installs it. If the answer to any of those is a third party, ask who you call when something needs attention. Ask to see the seam plan laid out on the slab before anything is cut.
Is quartzite harder than granite?
Generally yes. Quartzite is a natural stone that gives you the look of marble with more hardness than granite, and without marble’s sensitivity to acids like lemon juice and wine. More on quartzite →
Can I see full slabs before choosing?
Yes. Full marble, granite, and quartzite slabs stand in the racks at 97 Airport Road. On a large island the veining decides how the room reads, so it is worth seeing the whole piece rather than a sample. Plan a visit →
