Quarried in Italy, Brazil, India or Spain, sawn into slabs and trucked to the Bay Area slab yards. You pick the exact slab — with us at the yard, or from the A-frames on Flood Avenue.
We template the cabinets in your home: sink and cooktop cut-outs, seams placed for the pattern, overhangs and backsplash heights, agreed with you before a blade touches the stone.
Sheet 03 · cut
Cut on Flood Avenue.
The slab goes on our own bridge saw. Nothing leaves the shop to be cut somewhere else, and the person who templated it is the one cutting it.
Sheet 04 · polish
Finished by hand.
Edges profiled and polished — eased, bevel, bullnose, ogee or a mitred waterfall. Polished, honed or leathered: your call, and we will show you all three on your own stone.
Sheet 05 · install
Set in your kitchen.
Old top out, new top in, seams joined and sealed. Most kitchens are done in a day. Then the part we like best: you cooking on it.
Fourteen stones we cut, rated honestly. Hardness is scratch resistance on a 1–5 scale; cost is slab cost relative to the others, not a price. Every image is rendered from the real stone’s character — the slabs themselves are in the yard.
LooksSoft grey-white with fine, feathery grey veins. The marble everyone recognises.
KnowEtches with lemon, wine and vinegar; scratches more easily than granite. Seal it and expect a patina.
SuitsBathrooms, vanities, pastry counters, anyone who wants the classic.
LooksBright white fields with bold, dramatic grey and gold veining. Every slab is a different picture.
KnowSame care as Carrara, with a higher price — the veining is what you pay for. Book-match it across an island.
SuitsA statement island or a full-height backsplash.
LooksDeep black with crisp white veins.
KnowBlack marble shows etching and fingerprints more than white; honed is the forgiving finish.
SuitsBar tops, powder rooms, fireplace surrounds.
LooksDeep green with a white vein network — the green in our own logo colours.
KnowA serpentine marble: a little harder than Carrara, but still treat it as marble.
SuitsVanities, hearths, a kitchen that wants colour.
LooksUniform jet black with a fine, even grain. Reads almost solid.
KnowShows dust and water spots when polished; leathered hides both.
SuitsModern kitchens, outdoor kitchens, bars.
LooksDark green-black with flecks of gold and mica that catch the light.
KnowVery forgiving of daily use. Seal it once a year or so.
SuitsBusy family kitchens that get cooked in every night.
LooksWarm cream and gold with burgundy and dark garnet flecks.
KnowPairs with wood cabinets; the pattern hides crumbs and rings.
LooksWarm beige with natural pits and banding. A tile and paver stone more than a countertop.
KnowPits are filled or left open; either way it is soft and wants sealing.
SuitsFloors, tub surrounds, patios.

Stock on the floor
Remnants — offcuts from bigger jobs — priced by the piece and sized for vanities, bars, laundry counters and hearths. Measure your cabinet, add the overhang, find a piece that clears it.
Sample ticket. These rows show the format; the live stock is photographed and priced by the shop as jobs are cut. Prices are for the piece as it sits — cutting, edging and installation are quoted on top. Call 650-474-5341 to put a piece on hold.
Single bathroom vanityabout 25 in deep · 30 – 49 in wide
The most common remnant job by far. Nearly every offcut on the floor clears this.
Double vanityabout 25 in deep · 60 – 72 in wide
Needs a longer piece. Ask — we often have one from a kitchen run.
Bar or coffee counterabout 24 in deep · any length
A good home for a narrow offcut of something expensive.
Laundry or utilityabout 25 in deep
Hard-wearing stone for not much money.
Fireplace hearth or benchvaries
Usually the best use for a thick, heavy piece.
Sills and thresholdsnarrow strips
The smallest offcuts, cut to length while you wait.

The person who quotes your kitchen is the person who cuts it and the person who sets it. If something is not right you know exactly who to call, and they answer the phone.
A photo of the room, and the cabinet layout if you have one
Rough measurements — length, depth, where the sink goes
A cabinet door or paint chip to hold against the stone
Your questions. Lemons supplied, for the etch test.
Asked a lot
QDo I need an appointment to visit? No. Walk in during shop hours and look at the slabs and the remnant board. Bring a photo of your kitchen or bathroom if you have one, and a rough measurement.QHow do I get a quote? Send us your measurements and a photo through the quote form, call, or come in. For a full kitchen we will template before the final number; for a remnant job we can usually price it in the shop.QDo you sell remnants? Yes — it is a real part of the business, not a sideline. The board changes as jobs are cut. Pieces are sold whole, or cut and edged to your size.QCan you fix my counter instead of replacing it? Often, yes. Etching, dullness, light scratches and most stains come out with grinding, honing and polishing, done in place. Send a photo and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth doing.
