Kowalski Granite & Quartz is a shop first. Every slab that leaves Hayes Street is cut, profiled and polished here in Grand Haven by people who will also be the ones setting it in your kitchen. That means fewer hands, tighter seams, and a straight answer when you ask what a stone will really look like in your home.

Natural vs. engineered
| Compare | GraniteNatural stone | QuartzEngineered stone | MarbleNatural stone | QuartziteNatural stone |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Durability | Exceptional — heat, scratch and stain resistant | Very high — non-porous, consistent surface | Heat resistant, softer and more porous | Harder than granite; excellent scratch resistance |
| Maintenance | Seal every 1–3 years; pH-neutral cleaner | Never needs sealing; soap and water | Seal regularly; wipe acids immediately | Seal periodically; pH-neutral cleaner |
| Price point | $$ – $$$ | $$ – $$$$ | $$$ – $$$$ | $$$ |
| Best for | Busy family kitchens, outdoor kitchens, bar tops | Bright, clean designs and low-maintenance households | Baths, vanities, fireplace surrounds, baking stations | The marble look with real workhorse durability |
| Kowalski note | Every slab is one of a kind — movement, depth and mineral flecking you cannot manufacture. | Predictable color and veining from brands like Cambria, Silestone and Caesarstone. | The brightest whites and most sculptural veining in stone — patina is part of its character. | Not to be confused with quartz — quartzite is quarried, not engineered. |

“They templated on a Tuesday and installed the following week. The seam on our island is invisible — and they were the only shop that let us stand in front of the actual slab before saying yes.”

The Remnant Market
Every full slab we cut leaves behind beautiful usable pieces. Perfect for vanities, laundry counters, desktops, bar tops and hearths — priced far below a full slab. Inventory changes weekly, so the best pieces go to whoever walks in first.
How it works
We measure your space with digital precision so every seam and cutout lands exactly where it should.
Your slab is cut, shaped and polished in our Grand Haven shop by craftsmen, not a production line.
Our install crew sets, seams and seals the stone — most kitchens are finished in a single day.
