We work with three local stone distributors: StoneMart, Cosentino, and MSI. We also source stone from Ultra Stones, Mont Surfaces, Caesarstone, and Emerstone.
Countertops come in a wide variety of colors, patterns, and materials. With thousands of slabs at each distributor you are sure to find the perfect one!

Once a stone is chosen the toughest part of your job is over. Now it’s our turn.
We visit your location to take a digital measurement for the template. The distributor ships your stone slab to our warehouse in East Rochester, NY. We work behind the scenes fabricating and polishing the countertop. Your new stone countertop will be installed in approximately 1-2 weeks.
Enjoy seeing your vision come to life! Stone countertops add timeless beauty and value to your property.
To understand why we are considered Monroe County’s premier stone countertop fabricator and installer it’s important to know what happens behind the scenes
Fabrication
Once a stone is chosen it is shipped from the supplier to our warehouse in East Rochester, NY. Our high performance machines are equipped with innovative technology including laser templating and CAD/CAM software to efficiently and precisely template, cut, and polish the stone. We do not hand cut or polish stone, our robots do the work of an entire team in a fraction of the time. All our fabrication is digitally programmed which allows a variety of shapes, angles, and edges to be cut with precision. We blend our state-of-the-art technology with the eyes of our experienced fabricators who inspect every slab to ensure accurate fit, finish, and quality.
Sinks are available for purchase from the stone suppliers and will be installed with the countertop. To ensure precise cuts, we must have all sinks, faucets, sprayers, soap dispensers, disposal buttons etc. at the time of fabrication.
Installation
We install the countertop at your location and our installation team will do their best not to inconvenience you. Our seam clamps with built-in leveling are the strongest in the market, so every countertop fits like a glove. You’ll be enjoying your new countertops faster than you can imagine. Countertop installation typically takes 2 hours, depending on the project.
