This weekend, the Delaware Resorts Fall Home Expo returns to Cape Henlopen High School in Lewes — Saturday, September 19 (9 a.m.–4 p.m.) and Sunday, September 20 (10 a.m.–3 p.m.). Admission is free. The show is built for homeowners who want to upgrade before holiday cooking starts: remodeling, interiors, kitchens, and services under one roof.
If kitchen counters are on your list, do not start at the booth and finish with a vague number. Get a real granite range first. Troy Granite serves Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland from the Newark showroom at 711 Interchange Blvd, Newark, DE 19711 — with free estimates and two published specials that make comparison simple.
Deal of the Month: $1,499 granite (up to 30 sq ft)
The $1,499 Delaware granite special is for smaller kitchens — up to 30 square feet, selected colors while supply lasts.
Typically included:
- Free estimate
- Template
- Fabrication and installation
- Single standard sink cutout (undermount cutout and install on the special)
- Edge: eased, ½ bullnose, or ½ bevel
- Standard sealer
- Selected colors (examples shown on the specials page include Giallo Fiorito, St. Cecilia, Uba Tuba, New Caledonia, and similar in-stock options)
This is the entry package: a finished counter, not a slab-only teaser. Extra footage, islands, premium colors, and custom edges are priced separately.
$2,999 all-inclusive granite special (up to 40 sq ft)
The $2,999 package is the one most mid-size Delaware kitchens should open first. It is built for up to 40 square feet and is meant to be a complete installed number — not a headline that falls apart after removal and plumbing.
On the all-inclusive package, look for:
- Everything in the $1,499 path
- Removal of the old countertop and haul-away
- Plumbing disconnect and reconnect (on selected packages)
- Professional sealing — Troy Granite applies a water-based nano sealer in the shop, multiple times, before the stone leaves for your house
That last point matters when you compare quotes. Many “cheap” ads skip removal, reconnect, cutouts, or a real seal. Ask what is in the box.
Use the granite cost calculator before the expo
If you are driving to Lewes this weekend, spend two minutes on the online granite cost calculator first. It is the fastest way to see whether your kitchen sits in the $1,499 band, the $2,999 band, or a custom range (island, extra footage, premium slab).
How to use it:
- Enter a rough square footage (small kitchen ≈ 30 sq ft, typical ≈ 40 sq ft).
- Note sink cutouts and whether old tops need removal.
- Treat the result as a starting number, not a final invoice.
- Book a free in-home estimate or walk the slabs in Newark so the color you liked at the expo matches a real piece of stone.
Do not compare a slab-only quote to a fully installed Troy Granite package. Labor, template, fabrication, sink cutout, removal, and sealer are where the price actually lives.
Why this weekend still works for a September install
After Labor Day, schedules open and adhesives/sealers behave better than in midsummer humidity. If you want stone in place before Thanksgiving (November 26):
- This week: calculator + color shortlist + free quote
- Mid-September: template
- Late September / early October: install
Sussex County homeowners already heading to Cape Henlopen can treat the expo as research — then confirm color and square footage in Newark so October is not the first time anyone measures the kitchen.
