Choose Granite Countertops Near Me Dennis, MA for Elegance and Durability
If you're interested in remodeling your kitchen or other areas of your home, most folks focus on appliances, cabinets, and flooring.

Granite Countertops in Dennis, MA: The Natural Choice for Durability and Versatility
Granite is one of the most popular natural stones in the market. As an igneous rock, the granite you're considering was once molten. It was formed as it cooled inside the earth. It is quarried from the mountains of Italy, the U.S., India, Brazil, China, and dozens of other countries around the world. Here at Granite World, we are passionate about this high-quality natural stone and recommend it for a variety of installation purposes, such as kitchen countertops, floors, and other surfaces that undergo heavy usage.
Minerals within the granite look like flecks and are what give it the classic "salt and pepper" look. Other types have veining similar to marble. Generally speaking, granite is a dense-grained, hard stone that can be highly polished or finished in a variety of ways depending on your family's needs. A broad spectrum of colors is available to match the color palette and feel of your home.


What Makes Granite Counters So Popular?
Granite is a highly durable and attractive option for kitchen countertops, floors, table tops, and exterior applications like cladding and curbing. It is available in a range of colors and has been rated as the best overall performer among kitchen countertop materials by a leading consumer magazine.
Unlike synthetic surfaces, granite is incredibly resistant to scratches and heat damage. It is also highly resistant to bacteria and does not get affected by substances like citric acid, coffee, tea, alcohol, or wine. Even with regular use, granite does not stain easily and is almost impossible to scratch. If you want to enhance your granite's resistance to staining, our team can provide you with more information about sealants available on the market.

Granite World Pro Tip
When it comes to granite countertops, high-end options often equate to unique patterns and enhanced durability. However, a higher price doesn't always guarantee better quality. At Granite World Inc., we provide raw materials from the top distributors available. Visit our showroom in Harwich, Massachusetts, and consult with one of our associates to find a granite that fits your needs and budget.
3 Timeless Ways to Complement Your Granite Countertops in Dennis, MA
If you are looking to add a touch of elegance to your kitchen, granite countertops can be a great option. With their intricate patterns and wide range of colors, they can transform a bland cooking space into a bright and merry room. However, since granite counters often steal the proverbial show, it can be tricky to design your kitchen around them.
Keep these easy design tips from the Granite World team in mind once you settle on the color and application of your granite counters:

1. Granite Countertop Decor
Keeping your kitchen looking tidy and organized requires avoiding cluttering your countertops with too many items and decorations. However, you can still enhance the look of your kitchen by adding a few carefully selected decorative items. If your granite countertops have specks of bright colors like green or purple, you can try using appliances, flowers, or decorations in those colors to make the specks in your countertops stand out. This will add a pop of color to your kitchen and elevate its overall appearance.

2. Cabinet Color
Brown, tan, and gray hues are all very popular color choices for granite kitchen countertops. As such, it's wise to choose a cabinet color that complements the natural tones of your countertops. That way, you can avoid creating an overwhelming look in your space. A warm white or a deep, moody color can be used to highlight the beauty of the countertops. If you prefer stained cabinets, pick a shade that matches the colors of your countertops.

3. Floor Pattern
Having a bold pattern on both your countertops and your floors can make your kitchen look cluttered and overwhelming. If you have granite kitchen countertops, it's a good idea to opt for a simple floor design. Choosing a plain tile or wood floor is usually a safe and practical choice.
Quartz Countertops: Elegant Design and Easy Maintenance
Quartz is a type of igneous rock that is made up of oxygen and silicon atoms in a continuous structure of silicon-oxygen tetrahedra (SiO4). It is one of the most abundant minerals on the planet and has been used in the production of kitchen and bathroom countertops for many years. Much like granite countertops in Dennis, MA quartz is an excellent option as it is highly durable and requires minimal maintenance.
Why Do Homeowners in Massachusetts Love Quartz Kitchen Counters?
When it comes to stone choices for your kitchen countertops, quartz ranks among the best choices available. But why? Let's find out.

Beauty
Quartz countertops have become increasingly popular in kitchens, and for good reason. They are designed to imitate the everlasting beauty of natural stone, providing a wide range of captivating colors and patterns. Whether you prefer the sophistication of marble or the simplicity of solid colors, quartz offers endless options to match your preferences. With professional installation services from Granite World Inc., quartz kitchen countertops can effortlessly enhance the visual appeal of any room.

Durability
As a homeowner, you're probably aware of how quickly kitchen countertops can get worn out. Luckily, quartz is a material that can withstand the daily rigors of wear and tear – even if you have kids. That's because quartz is a unique blend of natural quartz crystals, resins, and pigments, making it a highly durable surface. With quartz countertops, you don't have to worry endlessly about scratches or stains ruining the beauty of your kitchen. It is a highly resistant material, making it an ideal choice for busy kitchens and bathrooms that see a lot of activity. In fact, its scratch, stain, and heat-resistant properties make it perfect for everyday use.

Easy Maintenance
It can be frustrating to spend your weekends cleaning and maintaining your countertops. However, by choosing quartz countertops, you can eliminate one task from your to-do list. Quartz surfaces are non-absorbent, meaning that liquids won't seep in, and bacteria won't be able to breed. If there are spills, cleaning them up is as easy as wiping the surface down with a mild detergent and water. There's no need to spend hours scrubbing, buffing, or polishing. As an added bonus, you won't have to worry about sealing your countertops regularly, as you would with granite or marble.
Granite World Pro Tip: Is quartz tough? Yes. Is it indestructible? Unfortunately, it is not. Quartz is a surface that can be damaged permanently by exposure to strong chemicals and solvents that can weaken its physical properties. You should avoid using products that contain trichloroethane or methylene chloride, such as paint removers or strippers. Also, stay away from any highly aggressive cleaning agents like oven or grill cleaners that have high alkaline and PH levels.

Your First Choice for Custom Granite Countertops in Dennis, MA

Our team provides sales, fabrication, and installation services, ensuring that your project is completed with the utmost precision and care. After we're done, you'll enjoy spending more time cooking in your kitchen or getting ready in your bathroom.
Contact our office today or swing by our showroom to find the best type of stone for your needs. Our staff will take as much time as necessary to educate you about your options and explain our efficient installation process. Before you know it, your new countertops will be installed, and your neighbors will start fawning over your new renovations. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Cape Cod restaurant news: Dennis wine bar closes, Josh Cellars debuts non-alcoholic bubbly

It was a big week for Cape Cod restaurant news as LUNE in Dennis Port was named a semi-finalist for the James Beard Foundation’s new restaurant of the year.
LUNE is one of only two Massachusetts restaurants in that category. The other is Somaek, a Korean restaurant in Boston.
LUNE co-owners Charlotte and Mick Formichella said they were stunned by the nomination and that they took it as a sign their tasting menu concept was embraced by the community.
I had, coincidentally, put LUNE’s tasting menu on my list of five things to eat in 2025. Wonder if I can make a reservation now for when LUNE reopens in April.
Also this week, we say goodbye to a popular spot in Dennis and we end Dry January with an announcement of a new alcohol-free prosecco from one of America’s biggest wine distributors ― one that has ties here on Cape Cod.
Harvest Gallery Wine Bar in Dennis closed
The restaurant that Resy.com named its most booked Cape Cod location in 2024 has permanently closed. The owner of Harvest Gallery Wine Bar at 776 Main St. in Dennis, announced the closure Jan. 7 on social media.
“Unfortunately, Harvest is closed permanently, but our time together and the memories will live on. Here’s to the future,” said the brief notice.
Harvest Gallery Wine Bar, owned by artist Michael Pearson, served wine and creative local fare, while providing a place for artists and musicians to show their work. The restaurant also cultivated new talent with regular open mic nights.
“Thank you for being part of something special.” the notice said. “Harvest Gallery will continue as an online gallery.”
The year-round Harvest Gallery Wine Bar, like other restaurants, had experienced staffing shortages that forced at least one night’s shutdown, according to an Aug. 25 social media post. Pearson could not immediately be reached for comment.
Resy.com's most-booked restaurants on Cape Cod
For all of you curious foodies, here are the other seven restaurants on the Resy.com (one of the reservation services used by Cape and Islands restaurants) list for most booked:
Tiger Ramen, Falmouth; Cape Sea Grille, Harwich Port; The Beacon Room, Orleans; Five Bays Bistro, Osterville; Ciro & Sal's, Provincetown; The Red Inn, Provincetown; Liz's Cafe and Anybody's Bar, Provincetown. If the parking lot is full, these restaurants must be doing something right!
Josh Cellars, with a co-founder living on Scargo Lake in Dennis, releases non-alcoholic wine
If you gave up alcohol for “Dry January” and found yourself enjoying the feeling of skipping the spirits, staffers at Josh Cellars have some bubbles they would like you to meet.
Josh Cellars, which sells more than four million cases of the country’s premium table wine each year, is now making a non-alcoholic sparkling wine ($17.99) that is especially good paired with fresh fruit.
From the company’s website, note: “Made in Italy, our Non-Alcoholic Sparkling is refreshingly vibrant and designed for everyday celebrations. Vibrant aromas of pear, citrus, and green apple, complemented by a bright hint of acidity.”
To try an “Italian Spritz” with non-alcoholic orange liqueur and Josh Cellars new sparkling “wine,” here is a recipe:
Italian Spritz
3 ounces Josh Cellars Non-Alcoholic Sparkling
2 ounces NA Italian Orange Liqueur
1 ounce sparkling water or club soda
Ice for serving
Orange and mint leaves or rosemary sprig for garnish
Fill a large wine glass 3/4 full with ice. Gently mix first two ingredients, top with sparkling water or club soda. Garnish.

Cape Cod Times
WEST DENNIS — Three projects within less than a mile on Route 28 are revamping unused commercial space and will soon create 44 one- and two-bedroom apartments for the town.
A quarter of the new units will be affordable, built for people in the range of 30% to 80% of the area median income.
"These may be smaller projects, but the town really responds to redevelopment of structures that are going unused," Dennis Housing Coordinator Maggie Spade-Aguilar said in a phone interview.
According to the town bylaws, these projects go through a special permit process rather than a 40B comprehensive permit process. It allows for "a bit more density and it encourages the redevelopment of existing structures," said Spade-Aguilar.
"These are projects that received their special permit pre-pandemic, so they're just now beginning to be able to build," she said. "As we know, building during the pandemic was a little bit difficult. This has been what's going on with housing development and redevelopment through the pandemic and now are actually being built, much like many towns across the Cape."
Of the town's year-round housing inventory 5.45% are considered affordable, based on one measure used by state officials.
The Columns, vacant since the 1980s
Among the projects is The Columns project at 401 Main St., a long-awaited transformation of a historic Greek Revival house with tall fluted Ionic columns into 16 ownership units in the main structure and in added duplex townhouses. The landmark was has been a home, hotel, boarding house, and nightclub since it was built by Capt. Obed Baker in 1861.
The Columns property has sat vacant since the 1980s, but the overhaul is nearly complete, Spade-Aguilar said. "Many citizens and people are happy to see that it is finally being redeveloped into housing."
The Columns was developed under the West Dennis Village Zoning, which stipulates that if housing is being developed then it must abide by the affordable housing bylaw that requires that at least 25% of the units are affordable. The building was bought by The Columns Development Inc. of Lynnfield for $975,000 on April 1, 2022, according to the town assessor’s records.
In an email, Lindsay Weiss, manager of The Columns Development Inc., said the main building will likely be done in the next few months followed by the new builds sometime in the next two years.
"We are so excited to near completion of our phase 1," said Weiss.
A former office building
At 775 Main St., a former office building was redeveloped by Sand Dollar Customs into a mixed-material development with 24 new rental units.
"It's pretty much completed. People have moved into the market-rate units," said Spade-Aguilar.
Of six affordable units, available by lottery, the complex includes five one-bedroom apartments ($1,616 a month) and one two-bedroom apartment ($1,776 a month). Utilities are not included.
"I've received at least 75 phone calls inquiring about these six units alone and that's just me," said Spade-Aguilar, noting the affordable housing crunch on the Cape.
Sand Dollar Properties, LLC, bought the property for $1.4 million from Ronald D. Bourgeois Jr., as a trustee, in November, according to the town assessor's records.
Funding provided through the state Underutilized Properties Program was used in this project.
A jewelry store turned into house
At 530 Main St., another commercial building that once housed a jewelry store will be renovated to include four housing units, including one affordable one. This project will still include one remaining business, according to Spade-Aguilar.
Sunray 112 LLC, with a Yonkers, New York address, bought the property for $439,900 in 2021 from 530 Main Street West Dennis LLC, according to the town assessor's records. Sunray 530 LLC then bought the property for $1 in 2023.
