Our Marble Countertop Installation Process

We manage every step of marble countertop installation with precision and care. From the initial consultation to the final placement, our process ensures accuracy, quality materials, and expert craftsmanship to meet your needs.

Consultation and Free Estimate

We begin by thoroughly assessing your space, whether commercial or residential, to understand dimensions, layout, and specific requirements. This allows us to offer a detailed, no-obligation estimate that clearly outlines costs, timelines, and any special considerations.

During consultation, we discuss design preferences, edge profiles, and functional needs like sink cutouts or appliance accommodations. Our team also identifies any potential challenges, such as uneven cabinetry or limited access, to plan accordingly. Transparency and clear communication are priorities from the start.

Material Selection and Sourcing

We assist you in selecting high-quality marble slabs that match your aesthetic and durability requirements. Our relationships with trusted local and international suppliers ensure access to a wide range of colors, veining, and finishes, such as honed, polished, or leathered surfaces.

We emphasize visual consistency for larger projects, especially in commercial settings, to maintain a seamless appearance. Our procurement process includes verifying slab integrity to avoid cracks or imperfections. We guide you through choices to find marble that suits your space and budget.

Precision Marble Countertop Fabrication

Our fabrication takes place in a controlled workshop to deliver exact cuts based on detailed templates. Using advanced CNC machinery and diamond blade saws, we accurately cut marble slabs for countertops, sink openings, backsplashes, and customized edge profiles like eased, bullnose, or ogee.

Templates are made on-site or through digital measurements to ensure perfect fit. Fabrication is coupled with rigorous quality checks to prevent chipping or uneven surfaces. This step ensures the slabs are tailored precisely to your layout before installation.

Expert Countertop Installation

We install marble countertops with special attention to support and leveling. A plywood sub-base is secured to the cabinetry to evenly distribute the weight of the marble and prevent stress fractures.

Our team uses professional-grade adhesives and color-matched epoxy to bond and seal seams, ensuring durability and moisture resistance. Final leveling and alignment are verified with laser levels and straight edges.

We finish by applying high-quality sealers to protect the marble from stains and etching. Our installers leave the site clean, providing care instructions to maximize the countertop’s lifespan.
