Questions
Frequently asked
The things people actually ask us on the phone. If yours isn't here, call the shop — we'd rather answer it than have you guess.
How long does the whole thing take?
From template to install is typically a matter of days rather than weeks, but it depends on the material and how busy the shop is when you book. We'll give you a date at template, not a vague window.
Do I need my cabinets in before you can template?
Yes. Cabinets must be set and level, and your sink and cooktop should be on site. Templating against unfinished cabinets is the single most common cause of a countertop that doesn't fit.
Is the backsplash included in my quote?
No — and we say so up front. Backsplash is quoted separately and appears as its own line on your estimate so there's no surprise later. If you want it, ask at template and we'll price it then.
Granite or quartz — which should I pick?
If you want every slab to be one of a kind and you cook with hot pans, granite. If you want zero maintenance and a consistent pattern across a long run, quartz. If you're torn, come look at both on the showroom floor; photographs never do stone justice.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We've fabricated and installed for restaurants, offices, and institutional projects across South Georgia alongside our residential work.
Do you sell to contractors and builders?
We do, and we quote trade pricing. Call the shop and ask for trade pricing on granite and quartz.
Do you seal the stone?
Natural stone gets its first seal as part of installation. Granite and quartzite want resealing about once a year — it's a ten-minute job you can do yourself. Quartz never needs sealing at all.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Valdosta and regularly work across Lowndes, Brooks, Lanier, Cook, Echols, Colquitt and Thomas counties, plus north Florida.
