Maine Granite & Stone

Maine Granite & Stone is a stonemason and countertop fabrication specialist based in Skowhegan, Maine, offering one of the more specialized service lists in the region by including fireplace surrounds alongside standard kitchen and bathroom work. Skowhegan sits along the Kennebec River in Somerset County, an area with a strong tradition of craftsmanship and a housing stock that spans everything from century-old farmhouses to newer builds. Having a dedicated stone shop in this part of central Maine means homeowners don't have to drive to Portland or Bangor for quality custom fabrication. Free estimates are available for all project types.

Maine Granite & Stone handles the full range of countertop services, from custom fabrication and template measurement through final installation in kitchens and bathrooms. Their stonemasonry background extends to fireplace surround fabrication, which involves cutting and fitting stone panels around a firebox opening, a significantly more complex task than flat countertop work. Sink cutouts and edge profiling are standard for kitchen and vanity projects, and the shop works with natural stone materials including granite and marble that showcase the craftsmanship their name implies. Bathroom vanity countertops receive the same precision treatment as larger kitchen installations.

Few countertop shops in Maine also offer fireplace surround fabrication, which reflects a deeper level of stonemasonry skill than countertop cutting alone requires. In Somerset County, where older homes often have functional fireplaces that owners want to update or restore, this combination of services is genuinely useful. Customers renovating a farmhouse or camp property can address both kitchen countertops and a stone fireplace surround with a single experienced contractor.

Your project with Maine Granite & Stone starts with a free estimate where you'll describe the scope, whether it's countertops, a fireplace surround, or both. A template and measurement visit follows, and for fireplace surrounds this step is particularly detailed since the stone must fit precisely around the firebox and hearth. Fabrication takes place at their Skowhegan shop, where each piece is cut, edged, and polished according to your specs. Installation is the final step, handled by the same craftspeople who did the fabrication so nothing gets lost in translation.

Maine Granite & Stone serves Skowhegan and the broader Somerset County area, including towns like Madison, Norridgewock, Fairfield, and Pittsfield. The shop's location along the Kennebec River corridor puts it within reasonable reach of both Waterville to the south and Farmington to the west.
