Our installed price for granite countertops varies based on the color, edge option, size of the project, and location of the job site. We offer several granites starting at $28.00 sqft which includes any one of our option III edges. Please talk to one of our sales associates for detail pricing information and regarding any additional applicable conditions.

Color Selections

Granite & Natural Stone is available in various colors. We show several colors on our web site. We highly recommend our customer to begin their color selection process by visiting our showroom to look at samples of over 150 granites & natural stones. In addition we maintain 4" X 4" samples of all colors displayed in our showroom that customers can take with them. In addition to Natural stone we display, Silestone, Ceaserstone and Icestone samples in our showroom.

Stone and color selection for any project can be overwhelming due to the amount choices available. Our experienced sales people can guide you through the process.

Once you narrow down your choice of colors at our showroom we can direct you to one of the slab yards that has slabs you are looking for so you can select the color and pick your own slabs. We are conveniently located within 3-4 miles of over 10 different slab yards.

Templating

We will set up an appointment to template your job after you have made a color selection and have accepted our bid. We recommend you to set up an appointment with your sales associate to come to our fabrication facility and go over the layout of the slabs prior to fabrication. We highly recommend this for slabs that have a lot of color variation and movement.

Demolition

You can request us to tear out the existing countertops (Formica, Corian, Tile) and deck it with new plywood either 3/4" or 5/8" for an additional charge. We will tear out & install new countertops the same day. We do not provide plumbing or electrical services. You are required to hire a plumber to unhook plumbing to the sink and faucets and re-install them.

Plywood Decking

Plywood decking can be done by us as part of Tear out and decking. We prefer 5/8" plywood decking, however, we use 3/4" plywood on Euro style cabinets that have very little space between the top of the cabinet and the top of the drawer.

We may not install any plywood if there is a 3/4" unstained area on the cabinet after removing the existing countertops. Please discuss this further with your sales associate.

Sinks

All cut-outs for drop in sinks and vessel sinks (overmount sink) are made on the job site. Please have the sinks at the job site at the time of installation. All undermount sinks have to be at our shop at least 3 days prior to the scheduled install date. Please request your plumbing company to ship the sink to us, or we can arrange to pick up sinks if they are available locally. All cut-outs for the undermount sinks are made in the fabrication shop. We do not make cut-outs based on templates or specification sheets.

Cook Top

Please have the cook top (including downdraft if applicable) at the job site at the time of installation. We do not cut based on specification sheets provided by the manufacturer.

Faucet Holes

Please mark the granite for the location and number of faucet holes. Faucet holes are made on the job site. Standard faucet hole size is 1-3/8" and 2" holes for computer desks. Please let us know ahead of time if you need holes drilled for computer wiring.

Seams

Granite slabs are produced in 8 ft lengths. However, slabs in some colors are available up to 10 ft long. Seams will be placed on long runs and are based on the size of the slabs, location of the cook top, sinks, dishwasher, and other variables. We go to great lengths to minimize the number of seams. Please discuss with our template personnel regarding seam location.

Edges

We offer various types of edges, you can view them on our Countertop Edges page. We will be glad to accommodate any other type of edge option that you may need.

Payment

A 50% payment is required at the time of confirmation of the project and the remaining balance is due upon completion. We do accept Visa, Master Card, American Expess, and Discover. All Project under $2000, we request full payment at the time of placing the order.

Sealing

We seal all jobs at the time of installation with silicon impregnator. However, granite and most other natural stones require sealing at least once a year. Sealing is a simple process that can be performed by anyone. For detail information regarding sealing, refer to the care and maintenance section of our website.
