"I found Laser Marble and Granite, Inc. through HomeAdvisor in early August. Edwin Rodriguez was the first to respond to my request. He was very professional, and informative. He helped me make decisions about stone for my kitchen before I even started looking for stone. Edwin agreed to meet us later the same day for a free estimate, after normal business hours! I was impressed. We purchased our home 2 years ago and have been in a constant remodel phase to make it our own. Our kitchen is on the north side of our our house, and while it has a large window, it gets very little natural light. We still have to turn on the lights at noon. Our kitchen had over 1000 sqft of dark granite, so we wanted something lighter. Edwin sent us to several granite showrooms to include Laser’s. He suggested PRISM, which was the best! They had stone we liked and didn’t see any where else! After selecting a stone, Edwin presented us with an estimate that we could work with. (My first selection was a quartzite! VERY PRETTY AND EXPENSIVE!!! LOL) Then life got in the way and we had to put things on hold. Edwin was very patient and understanding. THEN.... Sept 17th- Go time! I called Edwin and said “ We’re ready, let’s do this!” And I headed off to PRISM to select our slabs. We needed 3. They were delivered to Laser the next day! Sept 19th- Edwin came out for final measurements and details, again, after normal business hours! No templating (which I must say made us skeptical because that’s how we’s Seen it done before. And Edwin’s is such a young guy too! LOL). Sept 21st. I go out to Laser to meet with Edwin for layout. (I love home design) Sept 24th DELIVERY! 1 WEEK! Edwin and his crew of 3 (4 at one time) arrived on time, and stayed until the job was done! They had to remove the existing granite and they the did it without damaging a single stone of the existing backsplash! In fact, they had to precision cut one countertop to fiit under the backsplash! EDWIN and his crew did an AMAZING job! My kitchen looks AMAZING! Edwin treated our home as if it was his home. These are the kinds of companies we like in our home. These are the kinds of companies we will continue to do business with. The old granite will be donated to a nonprofit organization and Laser Marble and Granite will do the installation under Edwin’s direction. M & A Bass, Chesterfield"

"Ben was a pleasure to work with. 

Even though this was not a big project, he was always prompt
and responsive.  He answered all our questions, was very fair
with pricing...the tile was somewhat labor intensive...and he
always left our house clean.

Very professional and a gentlemen.

Spectacular!

Stone Countertops questions, answered by experts

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.

A minimum overhang of 10 to 12 inches is generally recommended for countertop or island seating to provide enough legroom. For increased comfort, an overhang of 15 to 18 inches is ideal, allowing for more space and a relaxed experience. However, a 10-inch overhang can be sufficient in certain situations, such as for bar-height countertops, when using small stools, or in smaller kitchens where space is limited. Taller countertops may also require less overhang than shorter ones. Ultimately, you should consider your specific needs for legroom and measure to ensure the overhang fits comfortably within your kitchen's layout.

The angle at which you cut countertops depends on the material, your intended outcome, and the location of the cut. For example, rather than cutting a straight 90-degree angle for internal corners, cut edges at a 45-degree angle to give a clean, professional look. For outside edges, most homeowners want squared-off sides, so 90-degree angles can make the most sense there. Because you want to get angles exactly right to minimize seams and eliminate the need for patching, be sure to measure several times before cutting and use the right equipment to get sharp, accurate angles.

Engineered stone is nonporous, unlike natural stone, and does not need to be sealed. You do not have to worry about etching or bacterial growth. It is more durable than natural stone and concrete, as well as highly heat resistant. Engineered stone is easy to clean and maintain. You can wipe it down with warm water and soap. Use a non-scratch scrub pad for stains and avoid any harsh cleaners. Engineered stone can even be eco-friendly, with some manufacturers using waste byproducts or organic resins.

Mitered edge countertops are usually 2 to 2.5 inches thick. The thickness accounts for the 45-degree angle required to form a seamless corner, resulting in a dramatic and thick-edged appearance.
