Premier recently installed the most beautiful Carrera marble vanity in my master bathroom. I can't stop staring at it. They honed it for me and said it would look much better than the polished finish. Boy was he correct. It is stunning! Thank you so much!!

A friend recommended Premier to us as an option for kitchen countertops. Our first visit to this store was great. The customer service was excellent and they had a huge selection to explore. We found a countertop that same visit. The installers that came to our home were professional and kind and did an amazing job. After install we noticed a section at a seam that was noticeably different in color and reported this to Premier. With no issues at all they offered to come out and replace that piece with a new match. We're extremely happy with our purchase and highly recommend them.

Premier Stone recently installed a Quartzite countertop in our kitchen, and our experience was exceptional. Christian, in particular, deserves praise for his assistance in a tight timeline. The install crew was professional and efficient. Notably, they helped us troubleshoot an unexpected issue during installation, ensuring we didn't have to reschedule. Overall, we are very satisfied with Premier Stone's service, and our countertop looks fantastic. Highly recommended!

We should have read the reviews before going with Premier stone! I agree with many of them--the customer service at the beginning was excellent. Good selection/variety.
However--if anything goes wrong, you're out of luck! Premier Stone mis-measured our countertops. When our contractor let them know, Christian BLEW UP at him on the phone, then hung up, then refused to call back! Super unprofessional.
It's a 'Buyer Beware' situation.
One more edit: it is interesting that every poor review listed on here has a comment from the owner that distances themselves from taking any responsibility. We provided a blue print to the owner and the representative who came to our house--both of which showed an overhang. It is unfortunate when companies do not take ownership for mistakes. Upon review, we noticed several errors outside what was already identified: such as an uneven, unsealed space that would have resulted in a crack down the road, uneven beveling along the edges, etc. It was not 'amazing' or 'even'.
I stand by it: buyer beware!
Second edit: Premier finally reached out to rectify their miscut after the previous post. They tried to correct the error and broke our cabinet in removing the other countertop! After another 10 days’ wait, they came to reinstall…and miscut it AGAIN! We are now 2 months behind schedule. I would not ever recommend Premier Stone. This has been a mess.

Had two gentleman come over and cut some preexisting granite and drop a sink in it as well. Paid 375$ for the whole job. These gentlemen did the bare minimum but in an excellent way. They didn't touch the plumbing from start to finish nor did they apply the silicone around the sink. My wife and I are very handy but cutting granite just isn't fun without the proper tools. Price was extremely fair and they did everything as promised. Thanks for your help guys!!

****Additional Addendum: Work corrected!
Update: We were able to get in touch with the owner of the company (he did not contact us) to discuss our concerns about the fabrication and installation of our counter tops. After six weeks since the original installation, our job was corrected. The owner, Jim, made sure to be involved every step of the way, came out to our home to see the issues to be addressed and personally selected the exact location on the slab to cut to correct the cohesiveness of the seam behind the sink. We are changing our review to 3 stars as our issue was corrected and we were involved with the entire process. Installers even made sure to show us how everything would look before it was set in place. We are grateful the issue has been resolved but wish our concerns were not immediately dismissed from the company the minute we addressed the issue just after installation.
We have learned a lot through this process but advise anyone getting counter tops anywhere to review their template on the slab prior to cutting to avoid the issue we experienced.

Portion of the original post:
My husband and I are remodeling our kitchen and purchased 2 slabs of beautiful Mont Blanc Quartzite from Christian. We made sure to go out to the yard and work with him on specific features to include on the island and sink side. We had 6 different cuts and knew we only needed one seam and that would be behind the sink. We expected some difference in color and veining where the seam is located but still a coherent look. With that being said our counters got installed yesterday (April 21, 2023) and the installation went well.
Only giving 1 star as fabrication of the counters was not well thought out. Two slabs that joined together at the seam are completely different colors and pattern. One side has no veining and the other side is dark with veins. Unfortunately this makes the two sides stick out and look terrible. I called Christian shortly after install and told him about the problem. Told in an email “we can’t match on lay out we place at faucet in the smallest area where the flange also covers”.
My husband went up to the store Saturday morning to speak with Christian and show him pictures of what could have done to make the two pieces congruent but he said there was nothing to do. Also told they can’t match up natural stone. Fabrication could have considered reversing the slab and the seam would have looked less obvious because that piece had less veins. Christian did not want to help us address this eye sore and kept insisting it could not have been cut any better. We requested to speak with the owner to address our concerns.

My wife and I are remodeling our kitchen and we purchased 2 slabs of beautiful Mont Blanc Quartzite from Christian. We made sure to go out to the yard and work with Christian on placement of cuts for the island and Sink after they came out and measured. We had 6 different cuts and knew we only needed one seam and in the middle of the sink. We expected there to be a little difference in color and veining where the seam is located because we knew they would have to come from different locations. With that being said our counters got installed yesterday (April 21, 2023) and the installation crew did a great job. I can’t complain about the job they did and they took the time to caulk and seal everything.
The reason we are giving a 1 star is because the fabrication of the counters was not well thought out. The two slabs that they joined together at the seam are completely different colors and pattern. You can clearly see that the left hand side has no veining and the right hand side has veins. Unfortunately this makes the two sides stick out and looks terrible. I called Christian shortly after install and told him about the problem. I was told to email a photo which I did. The response from Christian over email was “When we cant’t match on lay out we place at faucet in the smallest area where the flange also covers”.
I went up to the store Saturday morning to speak with Christian in person and show him pictures of what could have done to make the two pieces not look so obvious and he kept telling me they could not make that work. He also told me that it’s natural stone and they can’t match up natural stone. Which I replied, I understand but the fabrication could have reversed the slab and the seam would have looked less obvious because that piece would have had not veins in it. Christian did not want to help me address this eye sore and kept insisting it could not have been cut any better. Just be aware that you may go pick out your slab and show them where you want cuts but they may not care or pay attention.
During fabrication, they could have called us and explained that the two pieces at the seam would look completely different. We would have told them to cut from a different section to match it up better. Instead of providing customer service they just cut and installed and said oh well its natural stone.
Another issue we have is the piece on the left hand side of the sink is bowed and it rises off the counter almost a quarter of an inch. The installer had to shim it so the seam would separate because of the bow in the slab. I know that the cabinets are level because the installers used a laser level and the installer from Premier even said that the slab was bowed and that was a dirty little secret about natural stone. Unfortunately it seems like we are stuck with this in our kitchen and Christian did not care to resolve the problem. I explained that I wanted the owner to come to our house and look at the job and tell me personally that he approves of the job and would allow this to be installed in his house. Christian assured me he would tell the owner of Premier Stone Fabrication. I also told Christian I would be writing a Google Review which he responded he will respond accordingly.
I want everyone to know that we have been very happy with everything up to this point. Christian was very helpful every time we visited the yard and looked at slabs and always answered a questions and reassured us they would take care of us. The person who came out to template the counters was very kind and explained everything to us. The installers did a great job. The issue is the end product.
Buyers beware that when you go up to Premier Stone Fabrication to purchase your countertops with your hard earned money, the charm and friendliness is only there to get you to buy something and get your money. Christian did not care that we were not happy with the end result and essentially told me that’s what you get when you buy natural stone.

The Premier Stone team did an amazing job with my large kitchen island. They were able to quickly schedule templating, and installed within 2 weeks. They even came back to enlarge the opening for my pop up electrical outlet because I didn't have it available when they did the install. I looked at many other places for my stone and Premier was the most local and the most affordable. I am very satisfied.
