What marble is

Choose Timeless Elegance with Our Marble Countertops in Calgary!

Marble is a metamorphic rock: limestone or dolomite recrystallised under heat and pressure, coloured by whatever minerals were in the way. That’s where the veining comes from, and why no two slabs match.

It’s a natural, soft stone. It needs sealing at least once a year to resist staining, and it etches: acids like lemon juice, wine and vinegar dull the polish where they sit. On a bathroom vanity or a baking island that’s a non-issue. On a busy family cooking surface, it means the counter will show its history. Some owners love that, and some should choose marble-look quartz instead. We’ll tell you which you are.

Marble stays naturally cool to the touch, takes a hot pan better than quartz, and gives a room a glow that engineered stone has never quite managed.

Where marble belongs

Where marble shines in a Calgary home

Bathroom vanities

The classic use, and the safest. Little heat, few acids, mostly admiration. Carrara and Calacatta on a vanity never look dated.

Islands & baking stations

Marble stays cool, which is why pastry chefs want it. An island in marble with quartz on the working perimeter is a combination we do often.

Fireplace surrounds

Marble takes the heat of a hearth and makes the room. A surround and an island cut from the same slab is a favourite.

Kitchens, for the right owner

If you want a stone that ages like a favourite cutting board (patina, the odd ring), marble is yours. If that sentence worried you, marble-look quartz has you covered!

Marble selection

Pick from over 50 marbles, delivered and installed anywhere in Calgary

Two suppliers, two tabs. The whites (Bianco Carrara, Calacatta, Milky White, Mont Blanc) for vanities and islands; the browns and golds (Emperador, Crema Marfil, Sahara Gold) for warmth; the dramatic ones (Arabescato Rosso, Palisandra, Verde Calacatta) for the fireplace that owns the room.

Living with marble

The two-minute care routine

  • Seal once a year; twice on a kitchen counter.
  • Wipe lemon, wine, vinegar and tomato within minutes.
  • Trivets for hot pans, boards for knives.
  • pH-neutral cleaner only: never vinegar, never bleach.
  • Honed finish hides etching best; polished shows the depth of the stone.

What marble costs in Calgary

$80–$150 per sq ft installed

A full kitchen lands around $2,800–$9,000 installed; a vanity top is a few hundred dollars and often comes out of a remnant. Carrara-type whites are the entry point, Calacatta Gold and the Arabescatos the top. Sealing is included on every natural-stone install.

A few weeks ago we had AA Granite, Marble & Quartz install quartz countertops in our own home and in a rental property we own. Jet and his team were great to deal with and did a fantastic job. Pricing was very competitive and the quality …

Al KehlerGoogle review

In September 2020 we hired AA Granite to replace our countertops and backsplash with HanStone quartz. Jet listened carefully to our requirements and made sure we got what we were expecting, offering suggestions and options. His price was very competitive. Jet and his crew did a great job on the installation and the new countertops, vanities, and sinks look wonderful! Removal of the old granite proved to be a nightmare (due to the way they were originally installed) but Jet’s crew quietly persisted and got the old stuff out without damaging our cabinets – we had real fears about what would be left of them. As with many contractors, there were some scheduling issues that we had to work around but Jet did his best to work with us when bumps occurred. We would definitely recommend AA Granite to anyone looking for very good value and excellent workmanship.

We had AA Granite supply and install our quartz countertops. They were so fast on delivering our quote, coming in to do the site measure and the install. They did a phenomenal job and their price was lower than my other quotes. We would definitely recommend them. Thank you for our gorgeous countertops!

AA Granite, Marble & Quartz Ltd did an excellent job on my sister's kitchen. It looks stunning. The owner of this company is one of the nicest people to talk to and he'll spend lots of time reviewing the different types of stone with you. The workmanship on my sister's kitchen is excellent. We are definitely going to hire them when we get our kitchen redone in the near future.

Marisa BroughtonGoogle review

Thank you Jet for the beautiful quartz countertop for my parent's vanity. I e-mailed several companies a picture of another counter we had done last year (to match). Jet was the quickest to reply with the most competitive quote and a photo of the stone sample, as requested. He was prompt to come measure the vanity (wearing PPE) and bring a sample and it was ready 2-3 business days later. We picked it up and installed it the next day with no issues!

Tegan MGoogle review

Very reliable and professional company. They replaced my entire kitchen counter top and am very happy with the results. Everybody we dealt with were extremely accommodating especially Janelle and Jet. I have already recommended them to 3 people. Exceptional service!

Marble questions, answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Etching, sealing, vanities and the kitchen question, answered the way we answer them in the showroom.

Is marble a good idea for a Calgary kitchen?

For the right kitchen, yes. Marble is softer than granite and etches with acids like lemon, wine and vinegar, so a busy family cooking surface will show its history. Where it shines: islands, baking stations (it stays cool), bathrooms, fireplace surrounds, and kitchens whose owners want a stone that ages like a favourite cutting board rather than one that never changes.

We’ll tell you honestly which yours is. If you want the look without the care, see our marble-look quartz.

How much do marble countertops cost in Calgary?

$80–$150 per sq ft installed, so $2,800–$9,000 for a typical kitchen and a few hundred dollars for a vanity top. Carrara-type whites are the entry point; Calacatta Gold and the Arabescatos are the top. See countertop prices in Calgary.

Will my marble countertop really change over time?

Yes. Marble develops a patina, a softening of the polish and the odd faint mark, that tells your home’s story. Most people who choose marble choose it for exactly that; if the idea bothers you, a honed finish hides it best, and quartz hides it entirely.

Can etching be removed from marble?

Light etching polishes out; we can do it in place on a polished top, and a honed top can often be refreshed with a marble polishing compound. Deep etches and chips are repaired rather than removed. We show every marble client the two-minute care routine that prevents most of it.

How often does marble need sealing?

At least once a year, and every six months on a kitchen counter that sees acids and oils. Sealing slows staining; it doesn’t stop etching, which is a reaction with the stone itself. That’s what the care routine is for.

Marble or quartz for a bathroom vanity?

For a powder room or ensuite, marble is a low-risk luxury: little heat, few acids, mostly admiration. For a kids’ bathroom with toothpaste, cosmetics and hair products, quartz. Most Calgary vanities we do are marble-look quartz for that reason; the ensuites are where the real marble goes.
