FAQs
How long does a typical countertop installation take?
Most residential countertop projects are completed within 7–10 days, depending on material and project size. From templating to final installation, we handle every step efficiently to minimize disruption. Learn more about our materials on our Products & Care page.
Do I need to be home during installation?
It’s best if someone is present to approve final measurements and discuss placement, but our professional installers can work independently if needed. For larger commercial projects, we’ll coordinate a convenient schedule.

Yes! Our custom fabrication allows you to select edge profiles, polished/leathered/honed finishes, and sink placement.
What happens if there are delays with plumbing or appliances?
We adapt to scheduling changes. Our templating and installation teams coordinate closely with your contractor or plumber to ensure a smooth process. Visit our Scheduling & Appointments page for details.
What kind of warranty and support do you offer?
We provide a 1-year limited warranty covering workmanship. For natural stone care, see our Care & Maintenance guide to keep your countertops looking their best.
Can you handle commercial or large-scale projects?
Absolutely. We work with builders, designers, and businesses of all sizes across Arkansas. Learn more on our Commercial Countertops page.
How do I prepare for the templating appointment?
Have appliances, sinks, and fixtures on-site, along with any measurements or inspiration photos. This ensures accurate templates and a flawless fit.
