FAQ's
Q: Can I use Quartz for my outside BBQ/Table?
A: Quartz isn't recommended for outdoor use as it is not heat resistant. We recommend using Granite or Quartzite as they are both heat resistant stones.
Q: Does Granite crack?
A: Not with ordinary use! Granite is most fragile during the transportation from our shop to your home. Once installed, normal use will not crack Granite.
Q: Does Granite or Quartzite stain?
A: Both have the ability to stain, but we will be sealing the Granite or Quartzite upon installation to protect your investment. The sealer we use is good for 5 years and after you can give us a call for a quote to reseal it or you can DIY!
Q: What is Dolomite?
A: Dolomite is a stone that is 70% Granite and 30% Marble. It is commonly sold as Marble or Quartzite, but it is its own category. Dolomite is just as durable as Granite but is a bit softer. It still needs to be sealed every 5 years. Dolomite is heat resistant like Granite.

Kind Words About Us
From start to finish, Cal Granite & Natural Stone was so pleasant to work with, accommodating, and prompt.
They had superior products at a greatly discounted price as well. When I decided I needed a sample of the stone for design purposes before it was installed, they quickly cut and finish-edged a 12" square piece - no extra charge! Then they carried it to my trunk, secured it safely, and I was on my way. Installation day finally came, and they proved they are craftsmen who know how to bring out the beauty in the stone we picked out.
I would use their company again in a heartbeat.
Amazing Customer Service! They helped along the whole process, not only the stone selection but also other aspects of the entire Renovation to help complement the quartzite we chose. Everything came out better than we imagined and Quality of Work is unmatched! 10/10!
