Common questions
Is my granite too old to repair instead of replace?
Usually not. Granite is hard, non-porous once sealed, and most issues we see in older Universal City kitchens are surface-level: worn sealer, a cracked corner, a loose seam. Full replacement is rarely necessary if the slab itself is intact.
How fast can you get to a home in Universal City?
We're a short drive from San Antonio and work this area regularly, so scheduling is typically quick. Call for the current availability and we'll give you a real window, not a vague estimate.
Will a seam repair actually match my old granite's color?
We mix epoxy on site to match the slab's specific coloring and veining, so a blended seam repair should read as one continuous piece of stone once it cures and gets polished.
Do I need to reseal granite that's never had it done?
If your granite has never been resealed, it's likely more porous than it should be by now. A penetrating sealer restores stain resistance and is a common add-on when we're already on site for a repair.
Can you really make a crack repair invisible?
On granite and most quartz, color-matched epoxy fill and careful polishing can make a crack repair very hard to spot once cured, especially on stone with heavier veining or pattern to work with. Solid-color quartz and light marble show repairs a bit more. Andre will tell you honestly what result to expect before starting.
Do I need to replace my whole countertop, or can it be repaired?
Most cracks, chips, and separated seams can be repaired without replacing the slab, which saves money and downtime in the kitchen. Replacement makes sense if the stone has multiple structural cracks, heavy pitting, or you're changing layouts during a remodel. A quick in-person look tells you which route makes sense.
How long does a countertop installation take from template to finish?
Templating and rough-in measurements happen first, then the slab is fabricated off-site (cut, edged, and any cutouts for sinks or cooktops made) before install day. Simple installs finish in a single day once the stone is ready. Kitchen remodels with backsplash and multiple cutouts take a bit longer to sequence.
Do you seal granite and marble countertops?
Yes. Sealing protects porous stone like granite and especially marble from staining and etching, and it's worth doing on a regular schedule depending on how the stone is used. Gunny Stone can seal as a standalone service or fold it into any repair or fabrication job.

What should Universal City customers know?
Universal City grew up around Randolph Air Force Base, and a lot of its kitchens date to that same steady build-out era, meaning original granite that's now 15-25 years old. We see the same story on repeat calls: sealer worn thin from daily wiping down, a seam near the cooktop that's separated slightly, or a chip by the sink edge from years of dish traffic. It's not a demo job. It's a repair and reseal job, and treating it that way saves the homeowner money and keeps a slab that still has plenty of life in it.
Why Universal City customers need this work
Older granite doesn't fail all at once, it loses sealer performance first, then shows staining, then cracks at stress points like faucet holes and overhang edges. In Universal City that pattern shows up often because so many kitchens are the same vintage. We check mohs hardness and porosity before recommending a penetrating sealer versus a full polish, and we fix seam separation with color-matched epoxy instead of pushing a full countertop replacement when the stone itself is still solid.
Recent work in the Universal City area
- Reground and resealed a granite island top that had gone dull and slightly porous after years without maintenance
- Rebonded a separated seam near a cooktop cutout with color-matched epoxy so the line disappeared under normal light
- Filled and polished a hairline crack running from a sink cutout corner, a classic stress point on older slabs
Why choose Gunny Stone Repair & Installations for stone & countertop repair & installation in Universal City?
Gunny Stone Repair & Installations sees a lot of original granite in Universal City, installed back when the housing stock near Randolph AFB filled in fast and never touched since. That granite is often still sound stone, just tired: dulled sealer, a hairline crack near the sink, a seam that's opened up. We read the slab before we fix it, then match epoxy color and reseal so it holds.
Universal City homeowners calling around often hit companies that only want to sell a full replacement. We'll tell you straight if your granite just needs a color-matched seam repair or a fresh coat of penetrating sealer instead. Being based in San Antonio keeps drive time short, and because we've worked so much of this same-era granite locally, we know the common failure points before we even walk in the door.
