Soapstone Countertops

Soapstone is a natural stone that makes for great kitchen countertops. It does not have a wide variety of colors like granite. It mostly comes in shades of gray and black, and occasionally it has a white veining. Over the years, soapstone countertops will darken and develop a beautiful patina. Soapstone is a very unique and rustic stone that can add beauty to any kitchen.

At Benson Stone in Rockford, IL, natural and fabricated stone is our business. We fabricate our own stone in a building right next door to our showroom, and we can give you expert advice about what type of countertops might work best in your kitchen or bathroom. Our soapstone ranges in price, and our salespeople can help you determine whether it’s the right fit for you. Then, our professional installers will make it look just right in your home. 

Soapstone countertop maintenance

The best way to keep soapstone looking its best is to periodically use a cloth to apply mineral oil. The mineral oil will darken the stone and bring out the natural veining.

What to expect

You’ll start by walking into the Benson Stone showroom and looking around. If you’re planning to do a major kitchen or bathroom remodel, we will connect you with our kitchen and bath designers. If you just want new countertops, our salespeople will be able to help you decide which type of product you want (it’s helpful if you have a drawing of your space). They will also take you to the building next door to our showroom to show you the soapstone slabs so you can get a better idea of color. Once you decide what you want, we’ll give you a quote, and if you want to move forward, we’ll send our expert installer to your home to measure the space. Then, we’ll work on fabricating your custom countertops and schedule a time for our installers to bring your dream to life.

Customer Reviews★★★★★

From the beginning consultation to the follow-through, everything was done professionally and in a friendly manner. The installation workmen were professional, hard-working, and a pleasure to deal with. The end result is beautiful. Your company is certainly a great example of workmanship of which the entire Rockford community can be proud.Susan G.

These guys did a great job with a very quick turnaround time on our countertops. Install quality was top notch, nothing over budget. Very accurate estimates. Much larger selection than the big box stores and great communication throughout the process. Highly impressed and would recommend.Cody J.

You were patient and very easy to work with. The guys from the shop were very professional and polite and the installers were very friendly and did an awesome job. We visited your competitors along with the big box stores. Benson Stone was hands down the best bang for our buck. Thank you for good customer service and a truly great buying experience!Brad H.

My wife and I moved to a home in February and we had to remodel two full bathrooms. We are so happy because of the fine service and quality countertops we received from Benson!Joe M.

Our experience with Benson Stone could not have gone smoother! The creative, professional, and attentive staff of River, Eric, Matt, Juan, and Brad ordered, measured, and installed our new countertop, island top, and sink so effortlessly! Wish we could use more than 5 stars!Ellen

I am in love with the breakfast bar I had installed by Benson Stone. I was able to find the perfect remnant in their slab warehouse, I gave my ideas to the team on what I wanted and then was offered suggestions for improvements. It turned out better than expected! I highly recommend Benson Stone!Scott E.
