As part of our independent research, we attempted to determine whether Midwest Stone Source + Design Studio has its own natural stone countertop fabrication facility. Our analyst contacted the company as a mystery shopper, but unfortunately, we were unable to obtain a clear answer — the calls and messages either went unanswered or did not provide the necessary information.

The absence of confirmed data about fabrication should not be seen as a negative sign. In our experience, it is not uncommon for companies to miss some incoming inquiries or choose not to disclose such details during initial contact.

According to our research, Midwest Stone Source + Design Studio does not offer a veteran discount — this information was provided by a company representative during a conversation with our mystery shopper. However, like most companies in our rating, Midwest Stone Source + Design Studio may offer personalized terms and discounts on countertop fabrication — especially during national holidays, seasonal promotions, or for large-scale projects.

We recommend confirming the details directly: submit a request, call, or message the company through our website — and be sure to ask about any available discounts. In many cases, contractors are open to discussing individual terms.

Unfortunately, as part of our independent research, we were unable to obtain pricing information from Midwest Stone Source + Design Studio. Our mystery shopper attempted to contact company representatives to request a quote for the fabrication and installation of a stone countertop measuring 83.4 square feet. However, they were either unable to reach anyone by phone, or never received the promised estimate after the initial conversation.

We want to emphasize that the lack of response or data does not necessarily reflect the quality of the company's work. In our experience, some contractors are simply unable to respond to all inquiries in time or prefer to discuss pricing only in person.
To get accurate and up-to-date pricing for your project, we recommend reaching out to the company directly through our website — submit a request, call, or message them — and ask for a personalized quote.

Yes, like most professional contractors in the market, Midwest Stone Source + Design Studio performs cutouts and countertop preparation for various components — both standard and modern. According to our findings, these services are typically included in the overall project estimate.
The standard scope usually covers cutouts for sinks (undermount, drop-in, or farmhouse) and holes for faucets or other plumbing fixtures. Additional cutouts — such as for cooktops, hidden or pop-up outlets, built-in wireless chargers, or other accessories — are discussed individually at the project planning and estimating stage.

It’s important to note that while the cutouts and countertop preparation are usually performed by the company, the installation of electrical and plumbing fixtures (such as faucets, outlets, or appliances) may not be included in their scope of work and could require licensed professionals. We recommend clarifying this point when placing your order.

To avoid misunderstandings, ask for a detailed estimate with a breakdown of all services: cutout pricing, installation, and any add-on options. This will ensure project transparency and help you clearly understand what you're paying for.

According to our information and industry practice, Midwest Stone Source + Design Studio, like most participants in the ranking, provides a workmanship warranty valid for 1 year from the date of countertop installation. This period is usually specified in the contract. We do not rule out that the company may have extended warranty terms (2 years or more), however, during our research, we did not receive confirmed data from the contractor regarding the duration and scope of its warranty.

The contractor’s warranty covers defects in fabrication and installation, such as uneven or separating seams, leveling and fastening issues, detachment or sagging of an undermount sink, flaws in edge finishing and cutouts, premature failure of seam materials, and cutouts that do not match the approved design. Warranty coverage does not include damage from use (thermal shock/burn marks from hot cookware, chips or cracks caused by impacts), stains and acid etching (for marble), wear due to insufficient maintenance or lack of sealing, natural characteristics of stone (veins, micro-pores, variations in shade/pattern within tolerances), shifts caused by base deformation, or any modifications performed by third parties.

The material warranty is provided by the manufacturer or the official stone supplier. Engineered quartz brands often offer a limited “lifetime” warranty for residential properties (subject to registration and compliance with care guidelines). For sintered surfaces, typical warranty periods range from 10 to 25 years. Natural stone usually does not come with a factory warranty — its quality of fabrication and installation is covered by the contractor’s warranty.
The term and scope of the warranty depend on the project and materials — contact Midwest Stone Source + Design Studio in any convenient way on this page to get the current terms.
