Because natural stone has variations, it is not a good idea to select stone too early. Colorations and veining may vary from one shipment to the next. Three to four weeks before installing your cabinets is a good time to make your final selection, based on current inventory.

There are many factors involved in pricing countertops. These include material cost, quantity of slabs, design, and edge profile. Once you have chosen a particular stone, the fabricator will need either an accurate drawing or a field visit in order to give a firm estimate.

Because of the movement and veining in natural stone, an exact representation is impossible on a swatch. Stone varies from shipment to shipment, so if you have a sample from a previous batch, it may not match the current supply. We encourage our customers to select an actual slab prior to fabrication.
