The Solid Look of Granite

2010-12-21T14:48:00.001-08:00

We installed granite throughout this house above Lake Austin for a contractor with whom we've worked for a decade.

We capped the Island by finishing both ends with pieces of stone giving it a very solid look. This Kitchen Countertops were finished in an exotic granite called African Lagoon with a Pencil Round Edge.

The fireplace was quite a challenge but the results speak for them self as we fabricated a solid looking elevated hearth with space underneath for firewood storage.

On the opposite side of the wall the fireplace is topped of with a solid mantle. Both sides were finished with the very beautiful, wild stone called Rainforest Green.

Quartzite in Lost Creek

2010-12-21T14:22:00.000-08:00

We installed these beautiful Quartzite countertops in a house in the Lost Creek subdivision. The color is a very rare exotic stone called Calcutta Quartzite. The clean finished look of an undermounted stainless steel sink compliments the stainless steel appliances very well.
The customer opted for the sharp contemporary look of the Pencil Round Edge which is a very clean cut look and draws your eyes directly to the beautiful veining in the stone.

A large, but not over sized Island, stands in the middle of the kitchen and leaves plenty of room for seating and another area to show off the gorgeous movement in the Quartzite.

Still Installing Counters In Lakeway

2010-05-27T17:02:00.001-07:00

We have been in Lakeway since 2000 and have been here through the good and the bad. It's very rewarding to still find customers in Lakeway who look to a Lakeway business to accommodate their remodel needs.

Although Marble requires a bit more preventative maintenance it can make for beautiful Kitchen Countertops. These homeowners selected the classic Bianco Carrera Marble for the kitchen tops.

A Bevel Edge goes well with the angled sink piece which was finished off with a stainless steel undermounted sink which brings out the gray veining in the Carrera.

In the bathroom they selected another beautiful marble named Breccia Sarda. Finished off with a Pencil Round Edge and Vessel-style Drop-In Sink this bathroom has a very soft feel to it.

East Austin Home Remodel

2010-03-24T17:39:00.000-07:00

These are pictures from a home in East Austin that was remodeled by another one of the local builders we do business with.

The homeowner loved the look of the extravagant Rainforest Green in this kitchen. The simple Pencil Round Edge goes well with the squared feel of the kitchen. A stainless steel undermounted sink finishes the job off nicely.

The movement in the stone comes to life when you look at the Island Top.

In the Baths the homeowner went for the uniform look of a man made product in Silestone. The color is Stellar Snow finished with the Pencil Round Edge.

Thankful for Referrals

2010-03-24T16:47:00.001-07:00

We can thank one of our many satisfied customers for another job referral, this one is up north in Round Rock. Receiving customer referrals truly is the most satisfying, as well as the most common, way we attain our jobs because the customer comes in and there is some trust factor already established. They have already seen first hand the quality of work we do and that we are a trustworthy stand up company with skilled full-time installers, not just a crew of subcontractors.

A beautiful exotic granite, Bianco Antico, was selected along with the Half Bullnose Edge for the kitchen countertops

Installers, who have worked together as a crew for about 4 years, hard at work getting everything finished and doing a good job of keeping the workspace as clean as possible.

Yet Another Showcase Home

2010-01-18T10:19:00.000-08:00

Most of our work in recent years has been doing high end custom homes, this is where you will find the quality of work is the primary concern for builders. It's because of our quality of work, which is second to none, that we have managed to consistently be used over and over again in various Showcase/ Parade Homes over the years. This house is in the Spanish Oaks subdivision in Austin and was built by one of Austin's most renowned Custom Builders.

In the kitchen we installed Boreal on the countertops and we built a Brown Antique Island with the top and end walls finished off in granite for a clean, consistent and beautiful look.

In the Gameroom we put in Red Dragon with a 6cm Laminated Full Bullnose for a thick masculine feel to the tops.

Gold Time of Year

2009-11-30T09:59:00.000-08:00

Getting granite countertops installed for the holiday season seems to be a priority for a lot of homeowners around this time of year.

We removed the old formica countertops and this homeowner selected the popular New Venetian Gold granite for their countertops as well as this textured ceramic tile backsplash.

An undermounted sink (along with a free matching polished granite cutting board) finishes off a kitchen and gives it the the practicality of a lip-free surface around the sink.

Swirls n Curves Galore

2009-11-03T08:55:00.000-08:00

We installed the exotic Juparana Gaivota granite in this kitchen remodel in the Austin subdivision of Crystal Creek. Quality work will leave you with fewer seams and a beautiful finished product even in the tightest spots, as seen by the many outlets our installers cut out for and fit into the full height granite backsplashes on their first try.

The swirls and movement throughout the counters and full height backsplashes add a ton of character to this kitchen. The top notch workmanship keeps a smooth polished finish on the large radius curve on the countertop.

Above is a picture of the Island as well as the cooktop counter with a ledge and riser set above making what looks like a seamless transition.

Granite Countertops in Lakeway

2009-10-13T07:45:00.000-07:00

Installing granite countertops in Lakeway feels like we're installing granite in our neighbors kitchen, because Lakeway is our neighborhood. We've been in the Lakeway area for the last 9 years and installing granite throughout the area since then.

We removed the existing formica countertops and were able to cut the bottom of the existing tile splash off and install the granite under the tile to save the customer from having to install a new backsplash. Tropical Brown granite added a nice bit of contrast to the light colored cabinets and splash. We also installed a full height riser underneath the upper bar top to add a consistent, tight-fitting finished look.

Typhoon Confirmed in San Antonio

2009-10-08T13:38:00.000-07:00

No it's not a tropical storm I'm talking about, though you might think so if you've experienced the weather in San Antonio and the Hill Country area. It's the beautiful Typhoon Bordeaux granite that we installed in this remodel in the Forest Oak subdivision near the intersection of Nacogdoches Rd and Bitters Rd.
The maroon waves through the tops accented the cabinets very well and the Half Bullnose edge adds a sleek and smooth yet rounded finish to this beautiful install.

Nothing finishes off beautiful granite countertops like an undermounted sink with a smooth polished cutout.These customers realized that their kitchen remodel would be taken to another level by adding the look of a beautiful exotic granite. While exotics will generally cost a bit more than some more uniform colors these customers felt the added character, movement and veining would be priceless.

WOWing in Wimberley

2009-09-21T11:57:00.000-07:00

These customers in Wimberley learned that no kitchen remodel is complete without granite countertops. We installed New Venetian Gold with a 3cm Full Bullnose throughout the kitchen.

2009-09-04T07:14:00.000-07:00

We added beauty to this home when we installed Black Galaxy countertops with a smooth Ogee edge in this Kitchen remodel near 620 & Anderson Mill.

The white cast iron sink added a nice bit of contrast to the dark countertops and we ran the counter straight back into the windowsill. Our installers did a great job keeping the seam (to the right of the sink) tight and out of sight.
