Yes you can. One of the most critical things about installing stone countertops is making sure that the surface it rests on is perfectly level. Care must be taken to shim your cabinets so that there are no voids between the cabinetry and the stone. Stone countertops are extremely heavy and can be susceptible to breakage if not handled properly. It is often best to leave the difficult jobs to the professionals. If you plan a do-it-yourself stone project, you must provide templates as well.

Yes! Granite will not burn or melt like other solid surface materials, but avoid placing pots or pans filled with hot cooking oils, due to the extremely high temperature and risk of damaging or discoloring the sealer.

While granite is extremely dense, it still contains tiny pores. Some natural stone needs to be sealed to prevent stains. Marble and limestone are more porous than granite, so they are more susceptible to staining. Renaissance initially seals your stone countertops with a liquid silicon impregnator to help resist staining. Your granite will need to be re-sealed from time to time. A good indication that your granite needs to be re-sealed is when water takes longer to evaporate from the stone.

Timing is dependent upon the overall scope of the project, but fabrication for an average size kitchen takes approximately3-5 days. Larger or more intricate jobs, as well as commercial jobs requiring numerous slabs and detail work can take 2 to 3 weeks.

Caring for your granite is simple. Clean your granite with mild dishwashing liquid and warm water (do not use too much cleaner, as that may leave a film and cause streaks). Then wipe granite surfaces thoroughly with a clean, soft, damp cloth.
