How to get your dream countertops in 5 easy steps
Step 1: Cabinet Plans
Take dimensions of your cabinets. This is important to keep in mind when picking out your countertops for seams and island size. A standard size for Quartz if 126 X 63 but some run smaller some run larger. Natural Stone varies largely. Slab count will vary on size however, we may give a better idea of how many you will need by sending them in before picking out your stone.
Step 2: Pick out your Natural Stone or Quartz
Call us to set up an appointment to visit our showroom or visit one of the many stone distributors to see full slabs and natural stone. Visiting our showroom is ideal if you are wanting to look at quartz since we have so many distributors in one spot! Natural stone however, varies so much the best option is to visit distributors.
A few Distributors in Northern Utah:
Arizona Tile, Daltile, Easy Stone, Cosmos Surfaces, The Stone Collection, Cambria, Cosentino, GS Marble and Granite, MSI Surfaces, Midwest 1938, Franicinis Marble, Contempo Slab Gallery
At any of these distributors, if you find a stone you love, place it on hold under “Unique Stone” and we will be able to get all the information we need for an estimate.

Step 3: Pick out your sink
Find a sink. Our sink distributor is Chariot Plumbing and Supply, visit their store or website. You can provide your own sink it will just need to present at the time of template. We will need to know whether the sink is top or undermount for estimating. If you choose to have a farm aka Apron front sink, it needs to be installed (placed in the cabinet as you would like) prior to template incase any cabinet adjustments need to be made to correctly fit.
Step 4: Final details
Send in your cabinet plans, stone and sink hold orders. At this time to get you an estimate we will also need to know your preferences on edge styles, corners, backsplash, cooktops and any other specifications for your project.
Step 5: Sign and get your dream kitchen on the schedule
Once we send you your estimate, if everything looks good sign and return. Once we receive, we will send a contract with information for a 50% deposit. Once everything is signed and we have a deposit we will order the stone and get work with you to schedule template. Typically we are able to get into template within a week or two and we give a 1-3 week timeline from template to install for most jobs.
