Midwest Marble & Granite is Olathe, KS’s premier granite and marble countertop provider. The company was founded by a countertop expert who wanted to provide clients with better service, higher levels of expertise, and a joyful experience.

Many companies can cut, fabricate, and install countertops. Our #1 job at Midwest is helping homeowners fall back in love with their homes. We also enjoy helping designers, remodelers, and builders shine for their clients.
