Marble

What we love about it

  • Unmatched beauty and veining
  • Naturally cool, which is ideal for baking and pastry work
  • Develops a patina that many homeowners love
  • Significantly increases home value when done right

What to know before buying

  • Softer than granite, so it can etch from acids (lemon, wine, tomato)
  • Requires regular sealing (every 6–12 months)
  • Best treated as a living material, not an indestructible one

Care & maintenance

Wipe spills immediately, especially acidic foods. Use a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Reseal every 6–12 months. Embrace the patina. It's part of marble's character.

Typical price range
$90 – $200+ / sq ft installed

Typical range for a full kitchen install (template, fabricate, install). Final quote depends on slab, edge profile, and cutouts.

    Very good company to work with, great pricing, great communication and guidance through the entire process from picking a slab to fabrication and installation. 10/10 would do business with them again.

    I had a great experience with High Definition Stone! They did the stonework on my fireplace and the results were amazing. The team was professional, friendly, and most importantly — they showed up on time and finished the job exactly as promised.

    Hiago from High Definition Stone was the best price and quality I could find. I went to 5 different shops and Hiago was by far the best quality and price. He even had the exact countertop I wanted which many other places didn't have.
