Four Surfaces We Finish in Stone and Tile

Each surface has its own rules for support, water and heat. These pages explain the options for yours.

Slab or tile

Stone Slab or Tile? How to Decide, Surface by Surface

A slab gives fewer seams and a continuous pattern; tile gives more patterns and handles complex shapes. The right answer changes from wall to floor.

Stone slab and tile compared for backsplashes, fireplaces, showers and floors
Surface Stone slab works best when Tile works best when The question that decides it
Backsplash You want the countertop veining to run up the wall with no grout to scrub You want a pattern, such as herringbone or zellige, or a color the counter doesn't have Should the wall match the counter or contrast with it?
Fireplace The surround is a focal point and you want one or two large pieces The surround is wide or tall and you prefer a textured or graphic look What clearances does your fireplace manual require?
Shower walls You want large panels with few seams and very little grout to maintain You want built-in niches, a bench or a mosaic floor that continues up the wall How much cleaning time do you want to spend each week?
Floors Natural stone tile suits entries and baths where the look matters most Porcelain handles wet rooms and heavy traffic; LVP is warmer and quieter underfoot Which rooms get water, pets and dropped pans?

The Right Order: Who Works First in a Remodel

Stone and tile depend on what is installed before them. Getting the order wrong is the most common reason for a second trip.

Backsplash After the Countertop

The backsplash sits on the installed countertop, so we set the counter first and finish the wall after.

Shower Valves Before the Walls

Your plumber sets the valve and shower head before the walls go up. We don't do any plumbing.

Floors Before New Cabinets

In a full remodel, ask us whether the new floor should run under the cabinets before they are set.

Why Hire Your Countertop Fabricator for Stone and Tile

When the backsplash comes from the same slab as the countertop, we can plan both cuts on the slab at once, so the veining continues from counter to wall. A separate tile installer only sees the finished counter and starts from there.

You also keep one schedule and one estimate. Stone and tile appear as their own lines next to the countertop, and our crew is fully insured for every service we provide.

FAQ

Stone and Tile Installation Questions

What homeowners ask before they add a backsplash, a surround, a shower or a floor.

Can my backsplash come from the same slab as my countertop?

Often, yes. When the slab has enough material, we plan the countertop and the full-height backsplash on it together.

Do you install tile as well as stone?

Yes. We install tile backsplashes, tile shower walls and ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tile floors.

Do you install luxury vinyl plank floors?

Yes. LVP is one of the three flooring types we install, along with natural stone and ceramic or porcelain tile.

Do you connect the shower valve or move plumbing?

No. We don't do any plumbing work. Your plumber sets the valve and fixtures before we install the walls.

Which stones work for a fireplace surround?

Marble, quartzite and soapstone are the stones we suggest most often. Always follow the clearances in your fireplace manual.

How much does stone or tile installation cost?

It depends on the material, the area and the layout, so we price each project from your photos. Your written estimate lists every line.
