Real Stone Tops for Real Philly Kitchens
Granite is the workhorse of kitchen countertops. The slab is one solid piece of stone, so it stands up to hot pans, sharp knives, and the daily wear that any Philadelphia family kitchen sees.
Showcase Remodels has installed natural stone in Philadelphia row homes, twins, and brick singles since 2002. Granite is one of the most requested surfaces in our kitchen remodeling jobs, from Fishtown rehabs to Roxborough flips.
We help you pick the slab at the yard, take laser measurements after demo, fabricate to fit, and set the stone level on your base cabinets. Call 215-515-6484 for a free in-home estimate.
Granite Sealing and Daily Care in Philadelphia Kitchens
Granite is tough, but it is not bulletproof. A simple care routine keeps the stone looking as good in ten years as it does the day we set it.
Annual Sealing
Most granite needs a fresh sealer once a year. The sealer fills the tiny pores in the stone and blocks oil, wine, and coffee from soaking in. We hand you a bottle on install day and show you how to apply it.
Daily Cleaning
Use warm water and a mild dish soap. Skip bleach, vinegar, and any acidic cleaner. Acids break down the sealer over time and dull the polish.
Heat and Knives
You can set a hot pan straight on granite. Cutting boards are still smart because knives dull fast on stone, not because the granite gets damaged. Hot grease and bacon splatter wipe off without leaving a mark, which is a big win over softer surfaces.
Stain Prevention
Wipe up oil, wine, and citrus juice right away. Sealed granite gives you a few minutes of grace, but acid sitting overnight can dull the polish. A quick wipe-down at the end of the night protects the surface for years.
Our Granite Install Process Inside Philadelphia Row Homes
Granite is heavy. A 10-foot run can weigh over 400 pounds. Getting the stone into a tight Philly row home takes planning, the right team, and the right tools.
Tear-out and protection
We start with a tear-out of the old top. We protect floors with rosin paper and tape plastic over the cabinet boxes. Old tops come out in pieces, not whole, to keep the cabinet faces safe.
Laser template the cabinet run
Next, our team takes a laser template of the cabinet run. Lasers catch out-of-square walls, which is a common issue in older Philadelphia homes with plaster and uneven framing. Paper templates miss these gaps.
Shop fabrication and finish
Back at the fabrication shop, the slab is cut to the template, edges are profiled, and the sink cutout is shaped. Most jobs are ready for install within seven to ten business days after templating.
Final caulk and seal
On install day, we hand-carry the slab through your front door, set it on the cabinets, level with shims, and bond the seams with color-matched epoxy. We also handle the countertop installation for any matching backsplash piece or window sill.

Final caulk and a fresh seal coat finish the job. You can use the kitchen the next day.
How to Pick the Right Granite Slab in Philadelphia
Granite is a natural product. No two slabs are the same. Picking the right one is the most important step in the whole project, and we walk you through it in person.
Slab Inspection
We tap the stone, check for hairline cracks, look at the back for resin fill, and run a hand over the polish. A weak slab fails on the saw or chips at a sink cutout. We reject any slab that shows red flags.
Color and Movement
Some homeowners want a calm, almost solid look. Others want bold veining as a focal point. We help you match the slab to your cabinet color, floor tone, and light levels in your Philly kitchen.
Slab Yardage
Most Philadelphia kitchens need one or two full slabs. Galley layouts in South Philly row homes often fit on a single slab. Large U-shapes with islands in Northeast Philly usually take two.
