A Distinctive Company

John Antunes, founder and president, started Distinctive Granite and Marble in 1981, committed to creating a stone company that combined old-world craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology.

In 1994, Antunes, along with company vice president and wife Alice and their two children, relocated to Hilton Head Island. The company now has showrooms in Hilton Head, Beaufort, Ridgeland (SC) and Pooler (Savannah), Ga., as well as in New York.

The Antunes family has continued their commitment to stone excellence with an organization that has expanded throughout the Southeast.

Beautiful and unique kitchen and bath countertops, elegant floors, walls, fireplaces and outdoor areas throughout South Carolina, Georgia, New York and as far away as the Dominican Republic, boast beautiful natural stone from Distinctive Granite and Marble.

Distinctive’s hand-selected, imported granite, marble, travertine and limestone grace buildings from upscale residencies to hotels, restaurants and businesses including Godiva and Chanel. Distinctive has also emerged as the area’s large supplier of quartz, a fast-growing segment of the stone market.

With more than 15,000 slabs and 250 varieties of stone, including exotics from limited production quarries, Distinctive’s stone selection and buying power are simply unmatched.
