"Glen and the team at Stone Pros has consistently gone above and beyond for us. They have delivered a new granite fireplace hearth they measured cut installed and modified the new mantel to fit perfectly, 5 vanity tops at both our primary residence and a vacation home and a wet bar counter top. Most recently we needed new splash guard for a vanity that was damaged during a renovation because of water damage to the bathroom. Glen found a matching piece had it cut and polished in under an hour. Cant say enough good about them."

We specialize in Solid Wood cabinet refacing. No veneers or laminates, but rather 1/4 inch thick solid wood refacing, and custom built solid wood cabinet doors. We also custom build additional cabinetry, and add convenience items such as new drawers, sliding shelves etc. We also fabricate and install custom quartz countertops. All work is completed by our own employees, not subcontractors, and we guarantee our work and your satisfaction. We offer free in-home design and estimate appointments.

"Summary: The entire experience was excellent. Good communication throughout the process, and they did exactly what they said. They did the demolition on the cabinets, countertop, and backsplash, refaced some existing cabinets, and added a lot of custom cabinetry, along with a quartz countertop. The price was under 1/2 of what several other companies quoted. Price: They charged us under half of what some other companies quoted. However, it's not quite apples to apples, because those other companies folded in everything (plumbing, electrical, etc). I did some prep work myself to demo the existing island, and arranged the plumber and electrician myself. I ended up saving over $20k all told. What they do: They removed existing cabinets based on our contract, removed the existing tile backsplash and repaired the dry wall so that it was "tile ready". They installed custom cabinets (much higher quality than the existing boxes), faced all the cabinets to make the transitions from older boxes to new ones undetectable, added the new island and countertop. They replaced all doors with soft close hinges, and all of the new drawers also have soft close slides. The new cabinetry is very well made, real wood boxes, and high quality materials. What I did: before they came out, I took out the existing island. I also arranged for plumbing and electrical, as needed, and repaired the floor around the new island. After they left, I tiled the backsplash, installed the open shelving, and put soft close drawer slides in the old drawers to match the new ones. Timeline: Once we put down our deposit, we waited just about 5 months, which was a bummer. But once they started, they were true to their word and were done within 8 days. Results: We ended up with a really nice kitchen. The layout makes a lot more sense, and we essentially doubled the amount of usable counterspace. The cabinets and drawers are all soft close, and while we did put in some open shelves, we ended up netting about the same amount of cabinet storage with the addition of the new lowers along the wall and the much larger island. Other odd notes: We have two cats and two giant dogs, and needed access to the kitchen space during the remodel. They were really good about keeping doors closed and keeping the area tidy at the end of each work day. We planned to not use the kitchen during the remodel, but they did indicate that they would work with us if we had to."

We are a Granite & Marble slab fabricator and installer that is locally family-owned and operated. We do all of our own work from our showroom in Puyallup and our fabrication shop in Tacoma. We provide the best customer service and quality around. Our customers hand select every slab through a wholesaler of their choice. This ensures that each customer gets the actual material they want vs. having to buy what what might be available through a competitor. We also bid per slab, not square footage. This ensures that you will get the very best look for your project, rather than piecing remnants together to complete the job. We are a custom fabricator, and never use pre-made material from China. We also have a selection of remnants to choose from for bathroom vanities or small jobs. The material is free. You simply pay for fabrication and installation. Our showroom offers one-stop shopping to take the hassle out of remodeling, and we have numerous top-notch, experienced contractors who we trust enough to recommend to our customers. Orca works with Royal Cabinets, a custom cabinet company, also in Puyallup, and a local hardwood flooring company. In addition, we have plumber and tile-setter to help customers complete their project. Our estimates are always free, we service all of Western Washington. No job is too small and we have lots of great referrals.

"We needed a company who had the knowledge and skill to handle this project. We also needed professional advice on product and types of fabrication options. We interviewed several potential providers. There was no comparison between Orca and everyone else. Orca did everything agreed upon and all was done perfectly. The team was professional, courteous, and timely. The fabrication work was just beautifully done with exceptional skill. From the owner, to the office staff, to the installation crew, every single Orca person was great to work with - knowledgeable, helpful, and skilled. Orca is our only choice for this type of work in the future."

Experience the difference with a team committed to creating spaces you’ll love for years to come.

"It is often said that “good things come to those who wait.” That sentiment accurately describes my experience with IRC Kitchen and Bath. After interviewing and collecting bids from three highly rated contractors, I hired David Hoblea and IRC to do a complete remodel of the three bathrooms in my home. IRC was not the cheapest nor the most expensive of the three but easily seemed to be the most customer focused. I was immediately impressed with David’s detailed questions concerning my project and what I wanted to achieve, which made selecting IRC an easy choice for me. While the project took a lot longer than I anticipated, I am glad I made the choice. Working with Jada, the interior designer was a pleasure and Silvester, Alex and David proved to be not only craftsman of the highest caliber but also perfectionists intently focused on bringing their client’s vision to life. I am very happy with the final result, which exceeded my high expectations. The only downside with my project was the time it took. While I understand that Covid created some backups in the supply chain and that I probably wasn’t the easiest client to work for given my frequent change orders, I don’t believe that the project should have taken the nearly five months that it did to complete. Still, at the end of the day, I am very happy with the result and will likely look to David and IRC for my next project. Recommended."

The countertops look so good with neat caulking lines. Progranite template person was really great also. The sinks and countertops came out really nice with perfect edges and fitting of the sinks.

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

Baking soda can damage some countertops, but it makes an excellent mild abrasive for removing stains on other countertops. For example, never use baking soda on quartz or glass countertops, but you can use it on laminate and tile. Stay away from using it on quartz because it can scratch and damage the counter, and glass is prone to scratches. Since baking soda is a mild abrasive, you can only use it on certain surfaces.

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.

It typically takes one to three days to install kitchen countertops. A few factors like size and material impact the time it takes to install a countertop. For example, if you have two slabs of countertop material, it won’t take as long to install as placing several custom pieces of countertop.

This timelines allows for removing existing countertops and any plumbing disconnect and reconnect that needs to happen. Plan on the higher end of the time frame if you've chosen custom countertops versus large slabs.

With the cost of kitchen countertops ranging from $1,900 to $4,300, you’ll want to choose a countertop material that’s durable and cost-effective. Marble countertops will come in on the high-end, whereas corian, quartz, stainless steel, and granite will run in the middle range. Butcher block and laminate are the most budget-friendly—and many DIYers choose to install butcher block on their own because it’s one of the more accessible countertops.

Budget-friendly alternatives to granite include quartz, laminate, or solid surface materials. Quartz naturally mimics the look of granite, or homeowners can choose a laminate designed to resemble the natural stone for a much lower cost.
