Stone Countertop Fabrication & Install
$55–$180 per sq ft installed
Stone countertops in Houston run $55–$180 per square foot installed — quartz starts around $65/sq ft, premium marble and large-format porcelain reach the top of the range. As an Authorized Cambria Partner and in-house fabricator, we cut every slab on our bridge saw, CNC, and waterjet at the Spring Branch shop and install with the same crew, delivering factory-direct pricing with no middleman markup. Walk 50+ slabs at 11768 Clay Rd, lock your edge profile — eased, bullnose, ogee, or mitered waterfall — and most stocked-slab projects template-to-install in 3–5 business days (7–10 for special orders). Hurricane season (Aug–Oct) tightens Port of Houston slab shipments — we recommend selecting and tagging your stone before July for any fall project.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a quartz countertop cost in Houston?
A quartz countertop in Houston costs $55–$120 per square foot installed depending on slab grade and edge profile. Premium Calacatta-style quartz runs higher; standard mid-grade slabs come in around $65–$80 per sq ft installed. We provide free in-showroom estimates and you walk through actual slabs before committing.
How long does stone countertop fabrication take?
Most Houston countertop projects template-to-install in 7–10 business days. Day 1 we template (precise digital measure of your cabinet tops). Days 2–7 we fabricate at our Spring Branch shop. Days 8–10 we install. Faster turnarounds available for stocked slabs; longer for special-order materials shipping through the Port of Houston.
What's the difference between quartz, granite, marble, and porcelain countertops?
Quartz is engineered (resin-bonded mineral) — non-porous, low-maintenance, consistent patterning. Granite is natural stone — heat-resistant, unique slab veining, requires sealing. Marble is natural stone with soft, classic veining — requires sealing and is more etch-prone than granite. Porcelain slab is engineered — thin profile, very heat-resistant, growing for waterfall edges. We carry all four at the 11768 Clay Rd showroom so you can see them side-by-side.
Do you fabricate the slabs in-house or sub it out?
We fabricate every slab in-house at our Spring Branch shop. Bridge saw, CNC, waterjet, and polishing line under one roof. The same crew that fabricates your countertop also installs it — no fabricator-installer handoff, no markup from a third party.
Can I see the actual slab before you fabricate?
Yes — that's the main reason customers choose us over a national chain. Walk through 50+ slabs at the 11768 Clay Rd showroom, pick the exact piece you want by sight, and we tag it for your project before fabrication starts.
