Our Process | Edge Profiles, Finishes & FAQ

Consultation

Discuss your vision and browse material options. Handpick your slab — seeing real stone in person makes a real difference in choosing right.

Design Confirmation

We confirm material, edge profile, finish, thickness, and all cutout details before any fabrication begins. No guesswork, no surprises.

Digital Templating

Your matched fabricator visits your home and uses laser-precise digital templating to capture every wall, corner, and cutout location.

Custom Fabrication

Your template drives every cut in an NH fabrication shop — precision bridge-saw cutting, edge profiling, and finishing to your exact specification.

Professional Installation

Delivery, placement, and sealing, handled by an experienced install crew from our network. We leave your space clean and your countertops ready to use.

Final Walk-Through

We review every detail with you before calling the job done, and provide a care guide with every project.

Personalize Every Detail

Edge profiles.

The edge profile is one of the most visible design decisions you'll make. Here are the most popular options — bring inspiration photos to your consultation and we'll match it.

Eased / Straight

Clean 90° corner — the most modern and popular choice for contemporary kitchens.

Beveled

A subtle 45° angle cut at the top edge. Adds refinement without being ornate.

Bullnose

Fully rounded top edge — soft and safe. Popular in traditional kitchens.

Half Bullnose

Rounded on top, flat on the bottom. A classic profile for many design styles.

Ogee

An elegant S-curve profile. Detailed and well-suited to formal kitchens.

Dupont

A squared profile with a rounded step — a more finished look over eased.

Waterfall Mitered

The edge wraps 90° around an island side. A premium, modern statement.

CUSTOM

Custom / Specialty

Have something specific in mind? Additional profiles available at your consultation.

Surface Finish

Choose your finish.

The finish changes how a stone looks, feels, and performs every day.

Polished

High-gloss, reflective surface that brings out the stone's full color and depth. Stain-resistant and easy to clean.

Honed

Matte to satin finish with no reflective shine. Shows fewer water spots and fingerprints. Popular for marble.

Leathered

Textured, pebbly surface that adds tactile dimension while hiding fingerprints. Casual and distinctive.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions.

How long does a custom countertop project take from start to finish?

Most projects are completed within 1–2 weeks from the time of templating. The process includes a consultation, material selection, precise digital templating at your home, fabrication, and professional installation. We'll give you a firm timeline at consultation.

Do I need to see the slabs in person to get started?

We strongly encourage it — seeing and touching actual stone under real light is the most reliable way to choose a material you'll love for decades. We can also begin with a phone consultation and schedule a viewing at your convenience.

What materials do you work with?

We fabricate and install granite, quartz, marble, quartzite, and soapstone countertops. Our team will help you identify the best fit for your space, lifestyle, and budget.

Can you match a specific color or pattern I've seen somewhere else?

Often, yes. Bring us a photo, a sample, or any reference you have. We work with trusted NH stone suppliers and can source materials we don't have in stock.

Do you handle sink cutouts and special openings?

Yes — all sink cutouts, cooktop openings, and specialty cutouts are precision-fabricated as part of your order, including undermount, vessel, and drop-in configurations.

What areas do you serve?

We serve homeowners across the Monadnock Region from our Keene showroom, including Swanzey, Winchester, Walpole, Marlborough, Peterborough, Jaffrey, and surrounding towns. Travel fees may apply outside our primary service area — contact us for details.
