YOUR FIRST VISIT

Here’s an overview of the countertop process. For more details, scroll to the Deep Dive section.

1 - Choose your fabricator.

We’re wholesale, which means two important things: We don’t cut stone. And we sell to fabricators only.

They are specialty contractors trained to work with slabs. They’ll give you pricing, measurements and advice, then install the job.

Ideally, you will have researched or picked one before your first visit. If not, no worries. We’ll get you there.

2 - Come and see us.

To filter through a lot of stone, these are things to consider:

  • The look and feel you’re aiming for.
  • How many slabs you need.
  • Where any seams are.
  • Size and availability of your favorites.

Our team will help you organize this information so you can narrow down your list.

3 - Select your slab.

Our business model is for you to pick your exact slab. This often takes several visits, which is expected and perfectly normal.

When you decide on the slab name and lot number you like best, we’re happy to show you several from that grouping, depending on availability.

We move slabs Monday through Friday, between 10 and 3:30.

We get it. You’re juggling hundreds of decisions and shifting timelines when you build from the ground up.

So we’ll be blunt up front:
save some mental flexibility for
the countertops, especially if they play a large role in your vision.

Counters are a last step, cut and installed after the cabinets are in so they can be precisely measured.

Ideally, you should get a sense of the colors you like — the stone name and prices — at the beginning of the build.

This helps you adjust overall budget and financing, if necessary. It also lets counters drive the design versus being a stressful, I’m-so-over-this, last minute decision.

When you visit us for ideas, ask our team about the colors you like.

Which are routinely stocked? And which are one-of-a-kind looks that you may want to lock in now? — meaning you would arrange for full payment and storage with your fabricator.

Your builder most likely has a fabricator they prefer. And they’ll likely want to be a conduit for that fabricator, passing information back and forth.

This isn’t a bad thing. It eases your load to not have to have planning conversations with every subcontractor.

With that said, we firmly believe:

a) You should get to know your fabricator.

b) You should directly talk to them about what to expect from your stone.

c) You should have a layout appointment with them to discuss seams, sink cutouts and how to maximize what you most love about your slab.

This is your insurance for getting the results you’re dreaming about.
