Marble & Natural Stone Installation in NYC

We work with partner stone fabrication shops we've used for years. We do the templating on site (digital templates with laser measurement for slabs, hand templates for unusual cuts), the fabricator cuts and edges to spec, and our crew handles the installation. The reason we partner instead of fabricating in-house is honest: full slab fabrication needs a stone yard's worth of saws, polishers, and CNC equipment. Partnering gives our clients access to that capability without paying for our overhead carrying it. The fabricator's pricing is line-itemized in your proposal.

We do both, but our strongest fit is marble and stone work as part of a bathroom, kitchen, or full-home remodel. The reason: we're remodelers. The waterproofing under the bathroom marble, the cabinetry the kitchen slab sits on, and the plumbing under the vanity are all our scope when the stone is part of a remodel — and that's where our standards show up. For standalone slab swaps with no other work involved, a dedicated stone specialist may also be a fit; we'll be honest on the consultation about which makes sense.

On the natural side: calacatta (gold and standard), Carrara, statuario, Taj Mahal, soapstone, limestone, and travertine. On the engineered side (which behaves more like marble than quartz): Dekton, Neolith, and Compac. We also install slab quartz from Caesarstone, Cambria, and Silestone — covered in more detail on a future page; many homeowners specifying 'marble' end up choosing engineered stone after the trade-offs come out on the consultation.

All three are Italian marbles with different visual characters. Carrara is the most consistent — soft white with fine gray veining, the value-tier of the three. Calacatta has a whiter background and bolder, more dramatic veining; the higher-end statement stone. Statuario is the rarest — bright white with sharp, gold-toned veining; typically the most expensive. We bring real samples on the consultation; pictures don't capture the difference reliably.

Yes — marble is porous and reacts to acids (lemon, wine, vinegar, tomato). Sealing slows the reaction but doesn't prevent it. A marble kitchen counter will develop etch marks and a patina over time, which some homeowners love (it's the European look) and some don't. We're honest about the trade-off on the consultation. If low-maintenance is the priority, slab quartz looks similar at a distance and is bulletproof against everyday kitchen use. If the marble look is the priority and the patina is acceptable, marble is the right choice.

Yes. Bookmatched slabs (two adjacent slabs cut from the same block, opened like a book to mirror the veining) are templated on site and reviewed in person before the cut — we don't approve a bookmatch from a photo. Waterfall edges (slab continuing down the side of an island or vanity) are mitred at 45 degrees by the fabricator and tightened on site so the seam is barely visible. Both are standard offerings.

Yes. If you've sourced a slab from a yard you've worked with, we'll template, install, and warranty the installation work. We add a clarifying note to the contract: warranty on the installation is ours; warranty on the slab itself remains with whoever sold it (usually the yard). We handle delivery coordination from the yard to the project.

Yes — including bookmatched shower walls, slab vanity tops, slab shower curbs, and slab floor tiles. Marble in wet areas requires careful sealing and the right edge profile to prevent staining at the joint. We pre-seal slabs before installation and re-seal at completion. We don't recommend marble on a shower floor as a single slab (too prone to slipping when wet) — small-format marble tile or honed slab with a textured finish is the safer choice.
