Stone Fabrication
Custom Stone Fabrication
We measure, fabricate, and install stone for your space. From a kitchen counter to a fireplace surround, we plan how each piece fits the room before cutting.
Where we install stone
Stone for interiors and outdoor spaces.
We fabricate and install stone with attention to the fit. Seams, cutouts, and edges all need to work with the adjoining finishes.
Kitchens & countertops
Counters and islands, including waterfall ends. Full-height backsplashes and range walls complete the stonework.
Bathrooms & vanities
Vanity tops, shower surrounds, and tub decks. Stone can also form wall panels and thresholds, with shelves and trim completing the room.
Fireplaces & hearths
Fireplace surrounds, hearths, and mantels, with wall panels that can feature bookmatched or patterned stone.
Floors, stairs & entries
Stone floors and stairs, including treads and risers. Landings and thresholds connect them to the surrounding materials.
Materials we fabricate
The material shapes the fabrication plan.
We work with the natural stone and specialty surfaces listed below. Your selection shapes the slab layout and fabrication, as well as how each piece is handled and installed.
Natural stone
- Marble
- Granite
- Quartzite
- Limestone
- Travertine
- Soapstone
- Onyx
- Slate
Engineered & specialty surfaces
- Engineered quartz
- Porcelain slabs
- Sintered stone
- Concrete
- Specialty slab materials
How we work
From drawings and slabs to an installed surface.
We carry the details from your estimate through fabrication and installation.
01
Review the drawings, stone, and estimate
We review your drawings and stone selection alongside the site conditions. Appliance and fixture specifications help us define the work and prepare an estimate.
02
Measure and template the work
We use Flexijet laser templating to record cabinet lines, walls, and openings. It also captures overhangs and the places where stone meets other materials.
03
Plan seams, cutouts, and edges
We use 4K-resolution 3D scanners to document the room. The resulting drawings guide slab layout, seams, and cutouts, with edges and directional movement reviewed before cutting.
04
Cut, polish, and finish in Richmond
In our 50,000-square-foot Richmond facility, experienced fabricators cut and shape each piece. Polishing and finishing follow, with established safety practices throughout the work.
05
Install and walk the finished work
We set the pieces and complete the field details. Then we review the seams and edges, including how openings meet the adjoining finishes.

Visual alternative
[00:00] An aerial view shows the long white Fox Marble facility, with rows of solar panels on the roof, vehicles and stone storage beside the building.
[00:04] Inside the high-ceilinged shop, the camera passes stone slabs stored upright, worktables, overhead equipment and a yellow forklift moving through an aisle.
[00:20] Workers operate stone-cutting and finishing equipment. Water covers parts of the work area. A worker pushes a wheeled rack along the marked aisle.
[00:36] Team members stand along both sides of the central aisle, smiling and waving as the camera moves between them.
[00:44] The view returns outside and moves along the building's rooftop solar panels. Stone racks line the yard. A Fox logo remains in the lower right, and the picture fades to black.
From our shop to your space
One team carries the stone from measurement through installation.
We keep the measurements and slab layout connected to fabrication and installation. Each stage carries details the next one needs.
Material fluency
Your material affects how we cut, finish, and install it. Natural stone and engineered surfaces each have their own requirements.
Precision before cutting
Before fabrication, we review field measurements, seams, and cutouts. Edge profiles and overhangs are part of that review.
Fabricated in Richmond
Our Richmond shop coordinates the slab layout and cutting. Polishing and finishing follow before the pieces reach your jobsite.
One accountable team
Estimating, project management, fabrication, and field installation stay connected from the first drawings through the final walkthrough.

Stone fabrication FAQs
Your stone fabrication questions.
Questions about your drawings or material choice? These answers explain the details that affect stone fabrication.
What do you fabricate and install?
We fabricate and install kitchen countertops, islands, and full-height backsplashes. Our work also includes bathroom vanities and tub surrounds. We work on fireplaces, stairs, and walls. Exterior pieces and architectural stone details are within the range. Materials include marble, granite, and quartzite, as well as engineered quartz, porcelain slabs, and sintered stone. We also review specialty slab materials.
The right approach depends on the material and application. Slab size, thickness, and finish affect what is practical. Pattern and edge condition influence the layout. Support, access, and exterior exposure can limit the options. We review the specified material for its intended use before confirming fit.
What needs to be resolved before a countertop is measured and templated?
The cabinet layout and site conditions need to be stable enough to measure accurately. Sink and appliance models establish key dimensions. Faucet and accessory locations need to be clear. Overhangs and finished edges should be defined. The backsplash approach, wall conditions, and support requirements should also be identified before the template becomes the basis for cutting.
Let us know if cabinets or panels are still moving, or if an appliance, fixture, or wall may change. We can review an open item. Fabrication should wait for dimensions that represent the room.
How are slab layout, seams, edges, and cutouts decided?
These decisions affect one another. Vein direction and focal areas influence slab layout. Slab size, material behavior, and access affect seam location, as do support and cabinet geometry. Edge profiles shape thickness and exposed returns. Sink, faucet, and cooktop specifications control some cutouts; outlet and appliance details determine others.
Your plans, elevations, and slab references help us review the layout. Include appliance and fixture specifications and explain which visual details matter most. We can then distinguish a design preference from a condition the material or site will not support.
When should you become involved in stone selection and planning?
Involve us before the slab is cut, preferably before you commit to material. Pattern, quantity, and yield may affect your choice. Reviewing seam placement and thickness early can help you understand the layout before lead time becomes a constraint. A beautiful slab can still be the wrong size, wrong thickness, or wrong visual match for the intended layout.
Room dimensions and cabinet or architectural drawings give the review a starting point. Material references and slab dimensions or photos help us understand the selection. The edge direction and fixture or appliance specifications add detail. Tell us which parts of the design matter most so we can review more than the inspiration image.
What should I send you for a stone estimate or project review?
Your dimensioned plans or rough measurements help explain the work. Elevations show important vertical relationships; include the project address and construction stage. We need the material and approximate slab size or quantity if known. Edge profiles, finished ends, and backsplashes define the perimeter; waterfalls and seams add layout detail. Sink and faucet specifications establish openings, as do the cooktop or range and other appliances. Access constraints also belong in the review.
Let us know which work you want us to provide. That may include material coordination, templating, and fabrication, with installation or removal. Repair may be a separate part of the scope. Clear boundaries make the review useful and reduce assumptions that can become change orders.
