Granite Showroom

Start By Doing Some Research

The internet is not only a good place to learn about which materials work best in given areas of the home, but it is also a good place to start viewing materials. Our Stone Types page describes many types of stone and where they are generally used in the home.

Visit the Showroom

After you’ve done a little research online, stop by our showroom to see the stone slabs in person! This can help you really envision how your new kitchen countertops will look in your home. You can even bring paint swatches or samples of your cabinets or appliances to make sure everything looks good together.

At our showroom you will be able to see samples of available stones as well as learn about pricing. Of course, the price will differ depending on which stone you choose, the edge profile etc.

Get Your Free Estimate

We suggest you request a quote once you have identified a color or two. Submitting a drawing is an important part of getting a quote from us, and our Quote Request page walks you through that process. The more information you provide at this point, the more accurate your quote will be.

Once you receive your quote back from us, review it carefully to ensure that it reflects what you want.

Down Payment

Once you have made your final stone selection and received our updated quote we are ready to proceed with production of your kitchen countertops. All we need before templating and fabrication begins is a signed quote and down payment from you. Upon receiving both of those items, we will put your project into production and you will be enjoying your new kitchen countertops within two weeks!

Other Considerations

While all of this is going on, you should also be selecting your new sink, faucets, backsplash, etc. We will need to know how many holes to drill in the granite, and may need to see a specification sheet on the faucet and sink you choose. Also, decide if you would like to have a granite backsplash or new kitchen island to match your kitchen countertops.
We will walk you through everything, step by step.
