Garnite Contruction  Insruction
Request for a estimate or bid
  Please call us or email us, and we will be glad to come by to measure your cabinets and provide you with a bid for fabrication and installation of granite countertops. Our installed price for granite countertops varies based on the color, edge option, size of the project, and location of the job site.

Color Selections
  Granite and Engineered Stone are available in various colors. We show several colors on our web site.

Templating
  We will set up an appointment to template your job after you have made a color selection and have accepted our bid.

Plywood Decking
  Decking can be done by us as part of Tear out and decking. We prefer 5/8" decking, however, we use 3/4" on Euro style cabinets that have very little space between the top of the cabinet and the top of the drawer.

Sinks
 
All cut-outs for drop in sinks and vessel sinks (overmount sink) are made on the job site. Please have the sinks at the job site at the time of installation. All undermount sinks have to be at our shop at least 3 days prior to the scheduled install date. Please request your plumbing company to ship the sink to us, or we can arrange to pick up sinks if they are available locally. All cut-outs for the undermount sinks are made in the fabrication shop. We do not make cut-outs based on templates or specification sheets.

Cook top
  Please have the cook top (including downdraft if applicable) at the job site at the time of installation.
We do not cut based on specification sheets provided by the manufacturer.

Faucet holes
 
Please mark the granite for the location and number of faucet holes. Faucet holes are made on the job site. Standard faucet hole size is 1-3/8" and 2" holes for computer desks. Please let us know ahead of time if you need holes drilled for computer wiring.

Seams
  Granite slabs are produced in 8 ft lengths. However, slabs in some colors are available up to 10 ft long. Seams will be placed on long runs and are based on the size of the slabs, location of the cook top, sinks, dishwasher, and other variables. We go to great lengths to minimize the number of seams. Please discuss with our template personnel regarding seam location.

Edges
 
We offer various types of edges, you can view them on our web site under "Edge Options." We will be glad to accommodate any other type of edge option that you may need.

Payment
  A 50% payment is required at the time of confirmation of the project and the remaining balance is due upon completion.

Sealing
 

All of our Granite countertops are sealed at our factory.Engineered Stone countertops do not need to be sealed.
