Travertine is a form of limestone which often forms near hot springs. Minerals from the springs are deposited and harden over time, form unique patterns and colors. It varies in hardness and density, but it will scratch much more easily than granite and is more porous. Like marble, it can be damaged more easily by the acids found in lemons and alcohol, and is therefore not a popular choice as a kitchen countertop. Travertine tiles are often used for flooring, backsplashes, and as decorative elements around tubs, vanities and fireplaces. It has a natural beauty similar to granite, but cannot match granite’s durability. Unlike the glossy nature of granite, travertine typically has a more matte finish.

I was blown away by the professionalism, speed and hard work of Adam, Gonzo and Julio. They did an amazing job on my kitchen countertops! The attention to detail was incredible. I can’t even tell where a single seam is in my Quartz. I would highly recommend these guys and Superior Granite to anyone. The best experience of any contractor I’ve had work in my home. From initial design to installation, the whole process was a breeze! The communication was the best I’ve seen of any contractor. Will definitely be using Superior Granite when I remodel my bathrooms very soon.

We absolutely love our new countertops! Superior Granite has been super friendly and professional since the moment we walked through their doors in the Pace, FL location. Sarah was AMAZING! She is very knowledgeable about all of the different types of stone and always kept us in our budget. She never missed a beat when it came to my wife wanting to look at 30 types of countertops on multiple occasions. Go see Sarah, you won't regret it.
Chad, Thomas and Trey were our install crew and they were great as well. It was a very easy process and they treated our home with the upmost respect. Thanks guys! We will be repeat Customer with Sarah and her team at Superior Granite.

There are not enough words to describe my incredible experience at Superior Granite!! From my initial inquiring phone call, to seeing my new counters installed, the customer service was incredible! After a bad experience with a local granite business I posted to my facebook friends to please refer a reputable granite dealer, within minutes I received at least ten referrals to Superior Granite!! Everyone said, “You’ve got to go to Superior!” From looking at samples with India, to digitally mapping my kitchen with Mike (who also ultimately guided me in which granite would look best), to final selection day with Wally (who also sent me pictures during the counter cutting process), I was treated with the best customer service I have had in ages!!! So if you ask me….. You’ve got to go to Superior!!!! Thank you Superior Granite for making the upgrade seamless, affordable, and unexpectedly… FUN!!!!!

Had the pleasure of watching these guys install granite in our house today. Hard working and conscientious handling tremendously heavy pieces. You guys rocked it - Marcus, Shane, Henry, Edger and Brian. Beautiful quartzite and quartz. The sales lady was also very helpful in guiding us through the process. Definitely recommend if you are in the market!
