Step four
Select your stone
At the end of the design process, you will make your final selections for stone material, edge profiles, and accessories that fit your taste and budget.
Step five
Template creation
Once you have made your final selections and paid a deposit, we will schedule professional templators to measure for the installation of your new stone.
To get the best results, we ask that you clear any obstructions from the space and set all cabinets in their final place. This will ensure that measurements taken during installation are accurate.

Step Six
Layout & Review
After you have made your selection and we have visited your home to take exact measurements, our in-house programmer will show you a layout of the design before we begin cutting stone.
Our advanced software allows you to visualize where the veining pattern will lay on each cut. After reviewing the layout, you'll be completely confident in the quality of your project with The Stone Shop.
