3 Years of Work for You: How the First National Ranking of Countertop Manufacturing and Installation Companies in the U.S. Was Created

Today, with just a few clicks, you can find a trusted, verified countertop contractor in any of the 559 U.S. cities.

A First-of-Its-Kind Platform

When we started this project, we had a simple but very ambitious goal: to make choosing a countertop contractor honest, transparent, and easy. Over three years, we went from an idea to a fully built national ranking system that thousands of people across the country now rely on.

CountertopsContractors.com isn’t just another business directory. It’s a unique navigation platform that features only independently verified contractors, vetted through a rigorous multi-step process. No random companies. No paid placements. No hidden fees — just real experience, transparent ratings, and cold hard facts.

Why Did We Build This?

We heard too many stories of people who picked contractors based on flashy ads, slick websites, or questionable reviews — only to end up disappointed, having to redo work and waste time and money.

Those stories are exactly what pushed us to create a ranking system people can actually trust. We wanted everyone to have access to the best — not based on marketing, but on real performance.

What Will You Find on Our Website?

• 2,044 companies across 50 states and 559 cities, all independently verified
• Localized rankings so you can find top-rated contractors in your area
• 6 national rankings highlighting leaders in quality, reviews, pricing, experience, and more
• Real project photos and detailed company profiles
• Direct contact options — call, message, or request quotes without middlemen or hidden costs

Why You Can Trust Us

Full transparency. Real data.
Our ratings are built on real data collected by our team — including through "mystery shopper" evaluations. We contacted every company ourselves, tested their response times, checked consultation quality, pricing clarity, communication skills, and portfolio completeness. Selection took place in multiple stages, and only the best — those who proved their reputation through actions, not just words — made it onto our final list of 2,044 top contractors in the U.S.

You can’t buy a ranking here.
We don’t accept payments from contractors or customers — not for placement, not for exposure, not for leads. This is our commitment to a fair, transparent market.

Constant Improvement

We regularly recheck data, update information, incorporate real customer feedback, and expand opportunities for users. We didn’t create a “perfect” product — we created a living one, and we continue to improve it every day.

Looking Ahead: 2025–2026 Expansion

Today, we’ve already opened applications to join the 2025–2026 ranking. All the conditions remain the same: participation is free, selection is strict, and criteria are transparent.

Right now, we’re looking for new contractors, expanding our industry magazine The Stone Magazine, and adding new features to make things easier for users and help companies grow.

“We built this platform to make choosing a contractor honest, simple, and safe for everyone. Now that tool exists — and it’s working for you.”
