Design & Estimate

Schedule an appointment, stop by our showroom or use our online quote system. We will provide you with an estimate that includes all measurements, material cost, fabrication and installation. We will make any necessary price adjustments if anything changes.

We have experienced designers to assist you in selecting the material and colour.

Choose the 3D Edge profile.

Pick a sink. The dimension of your sink and every new appliance must be known prior to installing the countertop.

Consider a backsplash. The standard height of a backsplash is 4 inches but they can be made higher. A tall backsplash is sometimes used behind the kitchen range or sinks to protect the wall from grease and other stains. Some customers choose a full backsplash.

Template

TemplatingA template for your job is completed by our precision templators, who will visit your home and take exact measurements of the space. They will survey the area in regard to positioning of entrances and narrow hallways. This will assist us when plotting the stone and allow them to verify if your counter need seams or if it can be completed in whole sections. We ask that at this time customers provide us with the template for their sink (if it isn’t purchased through us) as well as information about the faucet that will be used.

Production & Fabrication

When the template has been completed the measurements and drawings will be used to cut the design out of the slab you have chosen. Once the design has been cut, our fabricators will use hand tools to finish the edge profile specified by you and cut and finish the sink hole with the template given or specified.  After a quality control inspection, the stone is ready to be installed in your home.

Installation

All countertop installations are done by our professional installers. We install the countertops, mount the sink to the counter, drill the hole(s) for the faucet on site (please make sure you have a faucet at the day of installation), drill the hole for a cooktop on site (if you have one) and seal the granite/marble/limestone as a final step. In case of exchanging countertops, old tops must be removed before the installation. We offer a referral service to a general contractor that will remove and dispose of old tops at an additional charge.
