Below are the main steps we follow for installing your precious gemstone countertops:
Consultation
Our in-house consultation with any client usually happens when you or the client have booked an appointment already. Our mobile team of contractors will visit your home on that specified date and time for an on-site consultation.
During this time, we are going to get a baseline measurement for your desired stone countertops by measuring your cabinets and existing countertop. While we are doing this, you can throw us some questions about our remodeling services.
After getting all measurements, our personnel will draft a detailed proposal covering the estimated cost and details for fabricating your new gemstone countertop. Further, there are two ways that you can get an estimate of your remodeling: (1) using our free online COUNTERTOP INSTALLATION COST CALCULATOR; and (2) on-site estimate.

This is a great choice because it creates a visual impression of a spacious kitchen and bath.
Overall, we guarantee that we will go over the details of your preferred design and style for your brand new countertops.
Fabrication Process
After settling with your material, we shall take our baseline measurements or visit your place again to get another accurate measurement for double-checking. These measurements will be our template in cutting and customizing the slab for your kitchen and bath countertops.
