We currently work with Granite, Quartz, and Marble. Most of the materials available can be found under the Materials tab!

Although we work with marble, picture examples are not listed on our website due to the varying print of each stone. Both the print and quality of each marble stone are best appreciated when seen in person. If you'd like to schedule a meeting with us to see any of the stones in person, you may go to our Contact Us tab!

Granite is a natural stone that is very durable and heat-resistant, making it a popular choice for busy kitchens. Each slab is unique, giving your kitchen a distinctive look. However, granite is porous and may require regular sealing to prevent stains. It’s also heavy, so reinforced cabinetry may be needed.

Pros:

• Heat and scratch-resistant

• Unique, natural appearance

• Adds value to your home

Cons:

• Requires sealing

• Heavy and may need strong support

Quartz is an engineered stone that offers a non-porous, low-maintenance option for countertops. It’s extremely durable and resistant to stains and scratches, making it easy to care for. Quartz also provides more uniform patterns and a wide range of colors. However, it is not entirely heatproof, so you may need to use trivets for hot pans.

Pros:

• Non-porous and low-maintenance

• Stain, scratch, and impact-resistant

• Wide variety of colors and patterns

Cons:

• Sensitive to high heat

• Can be more expensive than granite

Marble is known for its luxurious and timeless look, often used in high-end designs. It stays cool, which is ideal for baking, but it is also softer and more porous than granite or quartz. This makes marble prone to scratching and staining, especially from acidic substances like lemon juice. It also requires regular sealing and careful maintenance.

Pros:

• Elegant, luxurious appearance

• Naturally cool surface, great for baking

• Adds high-end value to your home

Cons:

• Prone to scratching and staining

• Requires regular sealing and careful maintenance

Yes, we offer a variety of edge profiles, including beveled, bullnose, and ogee. The 'Straight Edge' is the standard edge for all stones, however, we can discuss which style best suits your preference and pricing during your consultation.

Galaxy Countertops LLC currently does not have its own shop available for visit. However, we are more than happy to meet with our clients at our supplier's store located in Memphis, TN to see the stones in person!
