What you the Customer need to know abouth the Granite Supply Chain

Granite Providers- Sell, template, and oversee granite install
Granite Fabricators-Cut and edge granite to meet your needs
Granite Installers-Install the final product in your home
Granite Wholesalers-Large Warehouse where you pick out the perfect stone
Now we know the different groups responsible for meeting your needs for an upgrade to granite surfaces. Sometimes one company, such as Galaxy Granite and Stone, act on your behalf as a full service provider, fabricator, and installer. We are licensed, fully insured, with a full time work forces knowledgeable in all aspects of granite solutions.

Other Companies sell but do not fabricate. Some fabricate, but do not install. This approach lacks accountability and has no assurances for the customers that a quality slab will be fabricated to a precise template of your unique cabinet requirements, and installed by qualified trusted employees of good standing.

Granite, like many of the construction related services in Florida, requires each customer to be knowledgeable in selecting a service provider. As a customer you have to be aware that there is unqualified, uninsured, inexperienced, fly-by-night, working out of the trunk of their cars fabricators.

The list of questions to ask your full service Granite Provider:

Do they provide Sales, Oversight, Fabrication, and Installation?
Are they fully insured? (General Liability, Workmans Compensation)
Do they own their own Fabrication Shop?
Do they have a full legal work force?

Why Choose Granite for your Home?

First and foremost, looks, Granite comes in amazing colors, and is considered to be one of the most beautiful stones in the world.  Granite lasts the lifetime of a person’s home, it is resistant to chipping and scratching and is imperious to heat. The color and polished surface of granite does not fade over time.  With the new technology available to the miners and fabricators of granite, the cost of granite has dropped dramatically. Stone prices are now competitive or lower than man made options and granite lasts longer than any other surface.
Granite, from the Italian granito(meaning grained) is a type of volcanic rock containing crystallized minerals such as feldspar, quartz, and mica. Formed deep within the earths crust the colors and patterns of granite are determined by the minerals their varying concentration, temperature, pressure, and the rate at which rocks cool down on their surface. It is this range of colors and patterns that make granite such an appealing and unique material. 
Granite is both scratch and heat resistant. It is recommended that you do not use knives on granite, not out of concern for scratching the granite, but because the hardness of the granite will dull your knives. In addition, granite is one of the most heat resistant materials you can use. 
Both the Center for Disease Control and The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health have found no evidence of such. In fact,in one study, sealed granite was shown 2nd only to stainless steel for resistance to bacteria.

With granite countertops, it is like picking out a piece of art for your Home or Business.. Every slab is unique in its own way.
