"Grind Stone Tops did an absolutely incredible job with my new countertops! From the moment I met their team, I knew I was in good hands. They guided me through every step, from selecting the perfect stone slab to the final touches of the installation. The quality of the material and the precision of their craftsmanship exceeded my expectations. The installation was smooth and efficient, with attention to every detail, and the final result is breathtaking. My kitchen now looks like it belongs in a magazine! The seamless edges, the beautiful patterns in the stone, and the overall polished finish are just amazing. Grind Stone Tops did not just meet my vision they elevated it. I could not be happier and highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch custom stone countertops!"

"Efrain was very professional and friendly.  He first looked at the project and quoted me a price for material and labor on his first visit.  Materials were paid for immediately as well as 10% of labor cost.  Once the stone was acquired he returned to create a template, at which time I paid an additional 40% of labor cost.  There was a bit of a problem with the way his stone supplier cut the counter to his template pattern and instead of bringing an inferior product he chose to contact me and postpone the install until the stone was corrected.  In two days the improvements were made to the stone and he promptly returned to install.  The stone counter was cut with precision, edges were rounded flawlessly, and overall appearance was excellent.  During the installation Efrain noticed that one small portion of the counter would look a lot better with a small backsplash and offered to cut the stone with remaining material and return to install the following day.  He did return and the addition made a big difference in the overall appearance of the countertop.  On that final day he also offered to help me lift and mount the BBQ grill onto the countertop.  I couldn't imagine the countertop looking any better than it does, picture perfect.  Working with Efrain was very easy and personable.  I personally appreciate the decision he made to call me when he was not happy with the original stone cut, he new I was anxious to complete the project for hosting holiday guests but he did not compromise his reputation and explained the situation honestly.  Efrain is very experienced and I would recommend his services to anyone.

"Israel and his team were excellent. Israel is very responsive and his team was skilled and worked quick. We had a washer leak that caused damage to our laminate flooring. We decided to remove all the laminate flooring and tile, about 1000 sq ft, and replace with vinyl it was demoed in two days and the new vinyl and base boards done in another three. We had several change requests throughout the project and Israel and his guys adjusted quickly to what we needed. The workmanship is very good, his availability and communication is better than most contractors I've worked with and all within a reasonable price. Would certainly recommend to anyone looking for home renovation work."

"A fantastic experience from start to finish, BGL transformed our vague intentions into concrete form. We needed a soil and grass lawn converted to a rock garden with undemanding but beautiful flora. An adjacent ramp and slab needed to be replaced to correct their inclines. BGL rapidly produced a striking design and then enacted it rapidly and thoroughly. In addition to the concrete work, stone walkways were placed and a drip irrigation system was installed and integrated."

Stone Countertops questions, answered by experts

Marble countertops cost $3,000 on average, ranging from about $2,000 to $5,000, depending on the type of marble, square footage, location, and whether you use tiles or slabs. Another major cost factor to consider is the grading of the marble, which determines its quality level.

Use this grading system when selecting marble for countertops:

  • Grade A: Nearly perfect with subtle veining

  • Grade B: Minor flaws such as pits, fissures, or blotches

  • Grade C: Minor and major flaws like chipping and cracks requiring repair

  • Grade D: Significant damage needing repair, with dark veining and pronounced colors

The average cost to install or replace countertops is $3,105, with most projects falling between $1,858 and $4,177. However, the total price can range from $400 to $8,500 depending on several key factors. The most influential cost factors include the countertop material, the size in square feet, the quality of the new countertops, and the complexity of the job, such as the number of sink cutouts, corners, and special edging. Other considerations are the accessibility of the installation area and whether the project includes the removal and disposal of your old countertops. You have a wide array of material options to choose from. Laminate is generally the most budget-friendly, costing between $8 and $27 per square foot. On the higher end, slate countertops range from $30 to $90 per square foot. Other popular materials with varying price points include butcher block, quartz, granite, stainless steel, Corian, and wood.

Engineered stone doesn’t need sealing because it is non-porous. The manufacturing process creates a natural stain resistant to moisture, which also makes it easy to clean.

Deciding between marble and granite for kitchen countertops depends on your personal priorities, budget, and style. Both materials have similar costs for material and installation.

Marble offers a luxurious aesthetic and timeless beauty, but it is more expensive and requires more maintenance. It is susceptible to staining and etching from acidic substances like coffee, wine, or tomato sauce if spills are not cleaned up quickly.

Granite is highly durable, heat-resistant, and easier to maintain, making it a practical choice for busy kitchens.

Both materials should be sealed to protect against damage, but they can still be vulnerable to stains if spills are left on the surface for too long.

Cutting stone comes with a number of safety hazards. First and foremost, if you’re not comfortable with the equipment required to cut stone, including blades and grinders, you could easily injure yourself. The heavy machinery also poses a risk to your ears if you don’t wear proper ear protection; similarly, you need to wear eye protection to keep debris from irritating your eyes.

However, the biggest risk from cutting stone comes from the stone dust. When breathed in, stone dust can be a huge hazard to your lungs. Always wear a face mask when cutting stone to prevent inhaling stone dust, and thoroughly clean the work area when you are finished.

To avoid injury, we recommend hiring a stone-cutting professional, rather than attempting this job yourself.
