Montes Marble & Granite

You don’t need a full kitchen reno (or even a full slab of granite) to get beautiful stone in your home.

Our remnant inventory is full of high-quality leftover pieces from larger projects. You’ll find standard and luxury quartz, marble, granite... you name it.

These pieces are perfect for bathroom vanities, small islands, bar tops, outdoor kitchens, and whatever else you’ve been dreaming up.

You can come see them in person at our Atkinson showroom and pick the exact piece you want. No guessing from a tiny sample. No waiting weeks for something to come in. What you see is what you get, and at a fraction of the cost of a full slab.

If you’ve got a small project on your list, come check out what we’ve got before someone else grabs it. These pieces move fast.

Did someone say outdoor kitchen season?

We recently wrapped this project in Derry, NH and we couldn’t wait to share it! This is a serious entertainer’s outdoor kitchen. We love how the cooking area overlooks their meticulously landscaped yard. It allows you to still be the life of the party whether you’re slinging pizzas or cocktails on this large bar top.

The large workspace featuring Black Pearl Granite in a leathered finish was the perfect choice here. Granite can withstand the elements all year round here in New Hampshire, and the leathered finish is very forgiving with cooking spills (and looks so luxe).

If this outdoor kitchen set up is giving you major FOMO, reach out today and we’ll help you design yours!

Quartzite is having a moment. And we think it’s totally earned it.

But we talk to homeowners every week who confuse it with quartz, or think it’s just a fancy word for marble. So let’s clear that up.

Swipe through for everything you actually need to know before choosing quartzite for your kitchen or bathroom.

Save this one, it’s the guide we wish every homeowner had before walking into a slab yard.

The gray kitchen era is over.

For the past decade, cool gray dominated every kitchen renovation. Gray quartz, gray cabinets, gray tile. And honestly? It was beautiful.

But something has shifted.

The homeowners walking into our showroom right now are reaching for something warmer. Dark stone with real depth. Soft taupes and edgy browns. Pops of color that used to sit untouched on the sample wall. Stones that feel like they belong in a home, not just a magazine spread.

And we’re here for it.

Are you ready to embrace some more color in your kitchen? Let’s talk.

May 23 is a very special day here at .

10 years ago, on May 23, 2016, Kim Niles officially took over as owner. Today we celebrate that milestone. Everything that has shaped us in the last decade, and everything that’s ahead for the next 10 (and beyond).

Kim left behind a successful corporate career because she didn’t want to work for anyone else anymore. She didn’t know what was next, but she wanted something more for herself.

She didn’t know a thing about stone. But something about this just felt right.

She dove in headfirst to learn the industry and has helped the team grow and reach new heights over the last decade.

Swipe through to learn a little more about Kim and see her reflections on this very special milestone.

One week separates these photos. That's it.

We talk to homeowners all the time who think that it's going to take forever to get their new stone installed. But in reality, once all your pieces are in place (measurements confirmed, stone selected, cabinets ready), the actual timeline for new countertops moves fast.

We're talking weeks, not months.

This is especially true if you're upgrading countertops in an existing kitchen or working with our remnant selection. Both scenarios mean we can move even quicker because there's less coordination and the material is ready to go.

The "long wait" usually isn't the fabrication or installation. It's the decision-making phase. Once you commit? We're on it.

Thinking about a countertop upgrade? Come visit us in Atkinson and let's talk timeline. You might be closer to that finished kitchen than you think.

You know what we see all the time? Gorgeous countertops... and then the backsplash that feels like an afterthought. Or worse, it looks really good but also IMPOSSIBLE to clean... especially that spot behind the range.

A full backsplash doesn't just finish the look, it protects your walls from splashes and grease, gives you flexibility with outlet placement, it makes the whole kitchen feel instantly high-end.

Clean, cohesive, no awkward gaps.

If you're planning a kitchen project and debating whether to go full height, the answer is (almost) always a resounding YES!
