Choosing sink, faucet and cooktop models early and planning the openings so the stone is cut right the first time.
Cutouts are the most expensive mistakes in stone because there is no undo button. If a sink arrives after the stone is cut and it does not match the opening, the top may have to be reworked or replaced. Good planning means choosing the sink, faucet and cooktop before templating and giving the fabricator exact specifications. In Nashville, we ask for model numbers, spec sheets and the actual products on site whenever possible.
We discuss sink type, such as undermount, drop-in or farmhouse, and how each affects the edge and the reveal. We confirm faucet hole spacing and whether you want soap dispensers, air switches or filtered water faucets. For cooktops, we check clearances and the manufacturer cutout dimensions. We also look at support and reinforcement around each opening, because a large cutout weakens the stone if it is not planned well. If a product is still on order, we ask for its installation guide and a confirmed model number in writing, because a few millimeters of difference between models can mean a recut. Late changes are the most common reason stone has to be remade, so we gently push for decisions before templating day.
Sink, faucet and cooktop models should be chosen before templating so the openings match exactly.
Undermount, drop-in and farmhouse sinks affect edge profile, reveal and the stone around the opening.
We confirm the number and spacing of holes for faucets, soap dispensers and other accessories.
Openings concentrate stress. We plan where the stone needs reinforcement and where seams should avoid cutouts.

You tell us about your counters and what you want to change, from a repair to a whole-kitchen install, and we set a visit that fits your day.
We visit, measure, check the cabinets, walls and plumbing and talk through stone, edges, seams and sinks.
We help you choose a slab at local stone yards, plan the layout and give you an itemized written estimate with options.
Once cabinets are set and level, we template the real room, confirm cutouts and seams and send the plan to fabrication.
The stone is cut and polished, old counters are removed and the new granite is carried in, set, seamed and sealed.
We walk the finished counters with you, explain care, run the water test and leave the space clean.
Before templating, so the opening matches. Ideally the sink is on site on template day.
Only if the new one fits the existing opening, so choose first.
It depends on the faucet and accessories. We confirm with your product specs.
Yes, using the manufacturer spec sheet.
Not when it is planned with proper support and seam placement.
