Natural stone
Granite Countertops
The stone this shop was built on. Several hundred slabs on the racks in Murphy, cut and installed by our own crew across three states.
3,685 granite installs across 129 towns
Counted from our own invoices. Our records begin in 2015; the shop has been cutting stone since 2007.
Granite is a natural stone, so no two slabs match. You pick the actual piece off the rack rather than a sample chip -- which is the whole reason the yard is here.
The yard
Come and walk the racks
This is the part no sample book does.
- 400+ full slabs on the racks, in and out all the time.
- 500+ partial slabs — enough for a small kitchen or a big island.
- 800+ remnants — vanities, laundry tops, hearths and bar tops, at a fraction of the scope.
- Call ahead and we will have your candidates pulled and standing in daylight.
Inventory moves quickly, so the list on this website is always a snapshot rather than the whole yard. If you are after something specific, phoning ahead saves you the drive.
The granite we cut most
Out of 52 granites in our records, these are what have actually come through the shop — most-installed first.
Finishes
Polished is not your only option
- Polished — the familiar mirror finish. Brightest, and the easiest to keep clean.
- Honed — matte and soft. Shows fingerprints and water more than polished does, and looks wonderful on a darker stone.
- Leathered — a light texture you can feel, somewhere between the two. It hides marks better than either, and it is worth asking about: we cut a lot of it and most shops this size do not.
Not every slab can be given every finish. Ask us what the stone you like will take, and we will tell you straight.
Repairs
We did not install it? We will still look at it
Chips, a cracked seam, a loose or dropped sink, a top that has never been sealed properly — we repair granite whoever installed it. Send a photograph and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth repairing or worth replacing.
Living with granite
- It is sealed at installation. Water should bead on the surface; when it stops beading it wants resealing — a ten-minute job about once a year.
- Warm water and mild soap for everyday cleaning. Skip the harsh degreasers and the abrasive creams.
- Hot pans will not hurt it. A trivet is still a good habit.
- Granite is hard, not indestructible — a chip at an edge or a sink cutout is the usual injury, and it is usually repairable.
What customers say
We love Western NC. The tradeoff is that some things are much harder to find than in a big city, or at least that there is far less selection. With that being said Murphy Granite Outlet is an exception to that.
I'm am obsessed! Murphy Granite Outlet u guys were amazing to work with! From start to finish the whole team is top notch! They did exactly what I wanted and I know I'm kind of a pain but I want what I want! They absolutely delivered.
