Our process starts with your Vision. Some of our clients have a clear vision of what they are looking for when they contact us. Our role is to fulfill that vision with fine craftsmanship. For others that are unsure, Valley Stone Works can help with design ideas, suggestions, alternatives and options which helps them clarify their vision.

Picking the right granite is an important process since there are many color and pattern variations within each variety of granite. At Valley Stone Works, we never ask our clients to make a choice from small samples. Instead, we meet them at the local slab yard to pick the granite with the right style, colors and pattern for their taste. We also seek slabs that minimize seams and allow us to place the seams in the least prominent locations. Then, we inspect the slabs for cracks or other flaws that can make them difficult to work with.

Next, we visit the client’s home to template the project. The templates serve as our blueprint to accurately create the final product. When clients choose granites that have prominent, unusualmovement and patterns, we invite them to our facility to lay thetemplates on the slabs, so we can place the most interesting elements where our clients would like them.

After the templates are marked on the slabs, we saw the slabs into the appropriate shapes. Rather than sawing with an electric hand held saw, like many shops do, we have a large computerized saw that produces a straight, even cut every time.

Once the slab is cut into shape, our skilled craftsman start working on the edge treatments. This process includes laminating and polishing the edge to prepare the slab for final installation.

Finally, our professional installation teams bring the finished pieces to the client’s home to complete the transformation.
