STEP 1

Visit the Showroom

Our staff would love to show you bundles of stone kept in our inventory along with samples in the showroom. There is a wide variety of classic and exotic colors to choose from to fit your vision. In order to provide an estimate in the next step, it is highly recommended that a particular material is selected. If possible, a detailed sketch showing measurements (including where the sink, dishwater, range/cooktops, refrigerator, and windows are located) that is brought into our showroom can guide us in seeing the complexity and scale of your project.

STEP 2

Request a Quote

Armadillo Granite offers free no-hassle estimates. Before the contractor arrives at your project site, it is helpful to consider different aspects that you may not have considered yet. Examples include type of sink(s), project budget, backsplash material to compliment new countertops, faucets, cooktops, etc. Once measurements and square footage are gathered, we are then able to calculate and communicate to you the cost of your project.

STEP 3

Sign Contract and Pay Deposit

On top of signing a short contract, a down payment of a stated amount is requested to reserve material and time for the given project. The final deposit is to be collected once the project is 100% completed.

STEP 4

Final Measurement/Templates

One of our contractors will return to the project site for a final measurement and to possibly make templates. Whether templates are needed will be determined by the contractor after the initial measurement. The templates are an exact model of how your stone countertops will be fabricated. At this time you may make final decisions on a number of minor installation and fabrication parameters.

STEP 5

Installation

Prior to the installation date, the Project Manager will contact you to set up a day and time for the installation. When our crew installs new countertops, they attach all undermount sinks, ensure faucet holes are drilled, and verify that new cooktops fit well according to the cutout done on site. Reconnection of plumbing and gas lines may be performed at least 24 hours after the countertops installation in order to give the sink and the seams a chance to fully cure. The last step is for you to admire and enjoy your beautiful and easy to care for stone countertops.
