How we work
From slab to installed, without the surprises
Five steps. You'll know what's happening at each one, and what it costs, before we start.
Talk it through
Come by the showroom or call us. We'll walk you through the slabs we have on the floor, talk about how you actually use the room, and give you a realistic idea of cost before anyone measures anything.
Digital laser template
Once your cabinets are set, a technician comes out and templates the space with a laser. It captures curves, columns and out-of-square walls that a stick template would only approximate — and it goes straight to the shop as a digital file.
Cut and fabricate
Your slab is cut on our CNC and waterjet, here in Valdosta. We lay out the cut against the actual veining so seams fall where they're least visible, and so the pattern lands where you'll be looking.
Shape and polish the edge
The profile is cut with diamond wheels, then finished by hand. Hand-polishing is the step that separates a countertop that looks fabricated from one that looks made.
Install and walk it with you
Our own crew sets it — not a subcontractor. We level, seam, seal, and then walk the finished job with you before we pack up.
Step two, in detail
Why we template with a laser
The old way was a stick template — thin strips of wood hot-glued together to trace the shape of your counters, then carried back to the shop and traced onto the slab. It works, but every handling step introduces a little error, and curves are approximations.
A laser templater measures the room as a set of coordinates and produces a digital file. Curves are curves. A radius around a column is exact. Walls that are three degrees out of square get captured as three degrees out of square, instead of being called straight and dealt with by caulk later.
It also means we can show you the layout on screen while we're standing in your kitchen — including where the seams will fall and how the veining runs across them.

The machines that do the cutting
All of this is at our facility on US-84. Nothing gets sent out.

Laser templating
What we need from you
- Cabinets set, secured and level — we can't template against cabinets that aren't final
- Your sink on site, or the model number, so the cutout is exact
- Cooktop on site if you're getting a cutout
- Appliances in place, or their exact dimensions
- A decision on your edge profile — we'll show you samples
- Clear access to the room on install day
Templating against unfinished cabinets is the single most common cause of a countertop that doesn't fit. We'd rather reschedule than cut to a guess.
