Meridian Countertops provides granite fabrication and installation for homes and businesses across Alexandria, VA. We focus on accurate measuring, quality workmanship and finishes that match the character of your space.
Granite is a natural stone that resists heat, stands up well to daily use, and offers a wide selection of colors and patterns. When properly sealed and maintained, granite provides a long-lasting surface that preserves its appearance for years. It is a practical option for kitchens, bathrooms and other surfaces that need both strength and an elegant look.
Compared with other materials, granite tends to offer a stronger resistance to scratches and chips when cared for correctly, and it retains a polished finish that compliments a range of design styles from traditional to contemporary.
Work begins with an on-site or virtual consultation to understand the layout and usage of your space. We take exact measurements and produce a clear proposal that lists materials, edge profiles, sink cutouts and the expected timeline. Fabrication is performed on a CNC table with careful inspection at each stage, and installation is completed by skilled technicians who ensure seams, overhangs and joint alignment meet industry standards.
We provide options for edge profiles, under-mount sinks, and finishing. All seams are installed to minimize visibility and provide a stable, level work surface. After installation we apply a high-quality sealer and test the finish to confirm proper protection and appearance.
Granite comes in a range from subtle neutral tones to bold, dramatic patterns. We help clients choose slabs that will perform well in the intended space and complement cabinetry, flooring and lighting. Below is the color palette used on this page for reference:
When selecting slabs, consider: pattern movement, veining direction, presence of mineral deposits, and how the color reads under your lighting. We recommend viewing full slabs where possible so you can evaluate the way a particular piece will read in your room.
Fabrication follows these steps: slab selection, pattern layout, digital templating, cutting, polishing and pre-install inspection. Installation includes careful leveling of cabinets, setting the countertop on shims where needed, securing seams and sealing the surface. Final checks include verifying sink installation, faucet holes and backsplash junctions. Our teams clean the area and leave the site ready for use.
We follow safe handling practices to protect existing cabinetry and tile. Large pieces are moved with appropriate lifting equipment and protected to avoid scratches during transport.
Granite requires periodic sealing, usually every 1–3 years depending on use and the porosity of the slab. Routine care is simple: wipe spills promptly with a soft cloth and use pH-neutral cleaners designed for natural stone. Avoid harsh acids or abrasive pads that can dull the polish. For stains or chips, professional repair restores the surface with minimal visible signs of damage.
Maintaining a small schedule for inspection and resealing will extend the life of the surface and keep the finish consistent. This small investment prevents deeper repairs in the future.
Project cost depends on slab selection, square footage, edge profile, number of sink cutouts, and any additional fabrication such as backsplashes or integrated ledges. There are also delivery and installation labor charges to consider. We provide itemized estimates so you can see how each choice affects the total.
Choosing a standard edge and common slab color can reduce material cost, while rare patterns or bookmatched slabs typically increase the price. We will explain each line item so you can make informed decisions aligned with your budget.
Typical project timing from measurement to final installation ranges between two and six weeks depending on slab availability, fabrication queue and the scope of work. Simple replacement projects with common slabs may be completed faster, while custom layouts, special edge treatments and coordinating schedules with other trades can lengthen the timeline.
We provide a clear schedule at the start of the project and keep you informed of any necessary adjustments.
Recent projects include kitchen counters with waterfall edges, full-bath vanities, and restaurant prep stations. For renovation projects, we coordinate with contractors and cabinet makers to ensure the countertop fits the scope of work and schedule. For custom builds, we provide detailed drawings and confirm dimensions before fabrication.
Client note: "Work was well-organized, the installers arrived on time, and the countertop fits perfectly. We appreciate the attention to detail on seams and sink cutouts."
Natural stone is quarried and processed; we work with suppliers who adhere to local and international safety standards for quarrying and shipping. When possible we select slabs that reduce waste through careful layout and minimize the need for additional seams. Granite is long-lived, and its durability contributes to reduced material turnover compared with less durable alternatives.
