FAQ

Do you fabricate the countertops yourselves, or send them out?

We fabricate them ourselves. We bought our own stone cutting equipment in 2024 and everything happens in our Palm Desert shop: cutting, edge profiles, polishing and sink cutouts. Nothing goes to a third party, which is why we can hold a schedule.

What materials do you work with?

Granite, quartz and quartzite. We stayed narrow deliberately, because knowing three materials properly serves customers better than carrying twenty we would have to look up. We will tell you honestly which of the three fits your room.

How long does a typical kitchen take?

Once the slab is chosen, most residential kitchens run two to three weeks from template to install. Fabrication itself is a matter of days. The variable is slab availability from the supplier, which is the one part of the timeline we do not control. We will tell you where the wait actually is.

Do you charge for an estimate?

No. We give you clear pricing after we have seen the project details and you have chosen a material. Appointments are required so we can give you an accurate number instead of a guess.

Why appointment only? Can I not just walk in?

Because a countertop is usually a five figure decision and it deserves undivided attention. Walk-ins mean somebody always gets the short end. Call or use the form and we will find a time, often the same week.

Do you work with contractors and designers?

Regularly. General contractors, kitchen and bath remodellers, interior designers, custom home builders and property managers across the valley. If you need us to coordinate directly with your other trades, tell us who they are and we will call them.

Can you replace my existing laminate or tile counters?

Yes, and it is a large share of what we do. We handle the removal coordination and template so the new stone fits the cabinets you already have. In most cases the cabinets stay exactly where they are.

Which material is best for an outdoor kitchen out here?

Granite, most of the time. It handles direct sun and heat without trouble. Quartzite works well in a shaded outdoor space. We generally steer people away from quartz outdoors, because the resin binder can discolour under full desert sun, and we would rather say that up front.

Does the stone need sealing?

Granite and quartzite are natural and porous, so they want a sealer about once a year. It takes ten minutes with a bottle from any hardware store, and we will show you at the walk-through. Quartz is non-porous and never needs it.

What areas do you serve?

The whole Coachella Valley: Palm Desert, Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Bermuda Dunes, Indio, Coachella and the communities around them. If you are unsure about your address, call and ask.
