Countertops in Wethersfield.
Our yard at 97 Airport Road is about 3 miles from Old Wethersfield, most of it on I-91. That is close enough to come look at slabs on a lunch break.
For most kitchens that means quartzite, quartz, or granite. For the older houses in Old Wethersfield, soapstone and honed marble often suit the room better. We carry all of them and cut and install every one ourselves.
Older houses
Soapstone suits an old house.
Many Old Wethersfield houses date to the 1700s and 1800s. Soapstone and marble look like they belong there.
- No sealing
- Soapstone is dense and non-porous. It resists stains, heat, and acids without ever being sealed.
- A patina you control
- Soapstone scratches. Mineral oil blends the marks into fine lines and deepens the color, which is the look many owners want.
- Easy to repair
- Minor scratches sand or oil away, which keeps soapstone easy to look after in a kitchen or a laundry room.
- Honed marble
- If the room calls for something brighter, honed marble has an old-world look and hides etching better than polished.
The stone
Each stone wears differently.
Quartzite looks like marble but stands up to scratches and does not etch the way marble does. Quartz is the low-maintenance option: it is engineered, never needs sealing, and stays consistent from one piece to the next. Granite is the one to pick if you cook hard, because it takes heat and everyday wear in stride.

In the racks
See them side by side at the yard.
Standing soapstone, marble, and quartzite next to each other is the quickest way to decide what suits an older kitchen. The slab you tag is the slab we cut. Weekdays 8:30 to 4:30, Saturday 9 to 1. Get directions →
Wethersfield questions

Often, yes. Soapstone never needs sealing, resists heat and acids, and develops a patina that suits classic, farmhouse, and historic kitchens. Scratches can be oiled or sanded away. Read our soapstone guide →
Do you carry both quartzite and quartz?
Yes. Quartzite is a natural stone with a marble look and strong resistance to scratching and etching. Quartz is engineered from quartz crystals and resin, so it is consistent and never needs sealing. See the quartzite we currently have →
