EXPECT UNCERTAINTY

Managing expectations, we’ve found, is one of the most helpful ways we can coach you through this visit.

Beyond option overload, here are the main reasons you’ll probably have some question marks when you leave…

Different lot numbers of Silver Cloud granite

REASON 1: We only sell to your fabricator.
Pricing comes from them, based on the stone name and size. Try to ask fabricators you’re researching for the cost of a slab you like on our website before you come in. After your visit, we’ll send them a walk-in sheet to prompt them to price what you liked in person.
REASON 2: Thirty day holds.
Some slabs you see are waiting for a final decision from another customer. Ask us to check on your favorites during the visit.

What helps when key details are uncertain? Having a Plan A and Plan B, versus setting your heart on one thing.

NEW BUILDS

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.
