Frequently Asked Questions

Your countertop's cost will be determined by the type of stone selected from any three of our store locations, and the square footage required for your project. For example, if you choose a stone that costs $65/sq. ft. and your project is a total of 60 sq. ft., your countertop's estimated cost will be $3900. Any additional costs associated with the project will be dependent on the customer's requirements.

In certain projects, a seam is required depending on the size of the project, material selection (length and width of the slab), and vein-matching of the cut pieces. The reason seams are required to conjoin two pieces of countertop material, is because it is a logistic challenge to cut an entire piece of countertop in one shape, as well as a transportation challenge due to the countertop pieces weights. Due to safety reasons concerning our installers, we always recommend creating proper seams during installation. Rest assured, our cutting machine cuts your countertop material accurately to ensure there is no mismatch when creating the seam, and our installers are skilled experts that will conjoin seams to perfection. Learn more about how seams are created in our Youtube video.

Marble and Granite are two entirely different materials for countertops. While both materials are excellent to use for countertops, the difference depends on the usage of the countertop.

We strictly recommend that the templating process is done after you have completed your cabinet renovations (adding/removing), and/or adding any other fixtures to your project space. Once all the renovations are complete, we send our templating technician to conduct an accurate template measurement of your project space. The reason we recommmend doing it this way is due to the fact that we have to ensure that your project's final template is accurate. If there are renovations made after the final template is conducted, your new countertop may not fit to accuracy.
