Pick the exact slab off the Austin floor, then one crew templates, fabricates and installs. Sink cutout and set included.
Harker Heights bathrooms in newer subdivisions along US 190 usually have 30- to 36-inch single-bowl vanities or 60- to 72-inch double-bowl setups. Counter depth is standard twenty-five and a half inches, so a single slab covers the run without seams.
We template on site with a laser, then cut the stone in our Austin shop. The same crew that templated brings the finished top, sets it, and hooks up the sink. No handoffs, no subcontractors.
Stone comes from a direct importer slab yard in Austin with two hundred ninety-nine lots on the floor. If you want a rental-grade or flip-grade top, we work with a partner slab selection and fabrication shop so you don’t pay for a showpiece slab.
Single-bowl vanities in Harker Heights typically run thirty to thirty-six inches wide. Double-bowl setups start at sixty inches and go up to seventy-two. We template the exact opening for your sink, including any front or rear setback, and cut the hole in the shop so the fit is clean when the crew installs.
A four-inch backsplash is standard and included. If you want a full-height splash or a side splash to protect drywall, we cut those from the same slab. Full-height splashes need a separate template trip after the vanity is installed, so plan for an extra day on site.
Small vanities often fit on leftover slabs from larger jobs. We keep a remnant rack in the shop and can show you pieces that are big enough for a thirty- or thirty-six-inch top. Remnants usually cost less than a full slab, but the selection changes daily.
We start with a phone call to set up a slab viewing at the Austin yard. You walk the floor, pick the exact piece, and we tag it. The next day we template your bathroom, laser measure, mark faucet holes, and note any backsplash or side splash requests. The template is sent to the shop where the slab is cut, polished, and sink hole routed.
The same crew that templated loads the finished top and drives to Harker Heights. They set the top, seal the seams if there are any, install the sink, and hook up the plumbing. If you ordered a full-height splash, they come back after the vanity is secured to template and install it. The crew cleans up the site before they leave.
Because Harker Heights is along the I-35 corridor, we schedule the install on a weekday when traffic is lighter. The crew gives you a written date with the quote, not a same-day or next-day promise. If the vanity base is not level or the walls are out of plumb, they shim the top to sit flat and caulk the gaps at the wall.
Granite is a natural igneous stone that is hard and heat tolerant but porous enough to want sealing. In most cases it resists scratches and stains, though some lighter granites can show etching from hair products or toothpaste. Sealing is a wipe-on, wipe-off job that takes about fifteen minutes once a year.
Quartz is engineered from ground stone and resin, so it is non-porous and needs no sealing. It resists stains and bacteria, but direct heat from a curling iron or straightener can scorch the resin. Long UV exposure outdoors can yellow the surface, so quartz is best kept inside. Some lighter quartz can show fingerprints and water spots.
Marble is calcium-based and etches from acids like lemon, vinegar, and some facial toners regardless of sealing. It is softer than granite and quartzite, so it can scratch from rings or abrasive cleaners. Marble is usually sealed once a year to slow staining, but etching is permanent without a professional polish. Quartzite is metamorphosed sandstone and is very hard, though some slabs sold as quartzite are softer and behave more like marble.
Start with the size of your vanity. Single-bowl tops under thirty-six inches can often be cut from remnants, which usually cost less than a full slab. Double-bowl tops and tops with full-height splashes almost always need a full slab. If you want a specific color or pattern, check the Austin slab floor first, some stones are only available in certain sizes.
Think about maintenance. If you want a low-maintenance top, quartz is the easiest, no sealing, no etching, no staining. Granite is next, needing only an annual seal. Marble and softer quartzite need more care, especially in a bathroom where hair products, perfumes, and cleaning sprays are used daily. If you like the look of marble but want durability, some quartz patterns mimic marble without the etching.
Consider the sink. Undermount sinks need a polished edge on the cutout, which adds to the fabrication time. Drop-in sinks sit on top of the stone, so the edge can be left rough. If you want a vessel sink, the top needs to be thick enough to support the weight, usually three centimeters. Some thinner slabs can be laminated to three centimeters for vessel sinks.
When you call, we ask for the size of your vanity, the material you want, and whether you need a single or double bowl. We also ask if you want a backsplash, side splash, or full-height splash. If you already picked a slab, we note the lot number. If not, we set up a time for you to walk the Austin floor and choose.
We give you a straight quote over the phone or in person at the slab yard. The quote includes templating, fabrication, sink cutout, sink set, and installation. If you want a remnant, we check the rack and give you a quote based on the piece you pick. The quote is good for thirty days, and we lock in the slab price when you sign the work order.
After you sign, we schedule the template trip. The crew gives you a written install date with the quote, not a same-day or next-day promise. On install day, they set the top, hook up the sink, and clean up. If there are any issues with the vanity base or walls, they shim or caulk to make it sit flat. The crew does not do plumbing or electrical work beyond hooking up the sink.
Harker Heights has a lot of owner-occupied homes built in the last twenty years along the US 190 corridor. Many of these homes have master bathrooms with double-bowl vanities and guest bathrooms with single-bowl setups. The standard depth is twenty-five and a half inches, so a single slab covers the run without seams, even for double-bowl tops up to seventy-two inches.
Because the housing stock is newer, most vanity bases are in good shape, but some have settling or drywall issues. The crew checks for level and plumb before setting the top. If the base is not level, they shim the top to sit flat. If the walls are out of plumb, they caulk the gaps at the backsplash. Full-height splashes can hide minor wall imperfections, but they need a separate template trip after the vanity is installed.
Many Harker Heights homeowners choose quartz for its low maintenance, especially in guest bathrooms where cleaning is less frequent. Granite is popular for master bathrooms where the homeowner wants a natural stone look. Remnants are a good option for smaller guest bathrooms, as they usually cost less than a full slab and the selection changes daily. If you want a rental-grade or flip-grade top, we work with a partner shop to source stone that fits your budget.
$38 per square foot, cut, measure, and install included. Jobs over 1,000 square feet: $30 per square foot.
Sink cutout and sink set are included in the fabrication work. Non standard work is still quoted before work begins. Send the rough square footage and the rooms involved, or call (512) 297-7493 for a straight quote.
We seal granite and marble tops once in the shop before installation. Quartz and quartzite do not need sealing. We recommend resealing granite and marble once a year, it is a wipe-on, wipe-off job that takes about fifteen minutes. Sealing does not prevent etching on marble or softer quartzite.
Double-bowl vanities usually need a full slab, especially if they are sixty inches or wider. Some smaller double-bowl setups can fit on a large remnant, but the selection is limited. We keep a remnant rack in the shop and can show you pieces that might work. Remnants usually cost less than a full slab, but they are not always available in the color or size you want.
Marble etches from acids like lemon, vinegar, and some facial toners regardless of sealing. It is also softer than granite and quartzite, so it can scratch from rings or abrasive cleaners. Etching is permanent without a professional polish. If you like the look of marble but want durability, some quartz patterns mimic marble without the etching.
We install the sink and hook up the plumbing, but we do not install the faucet. The faucet holes are drilled during fabrication, but the faucet itself is usually installed by a plumber or the homeowner. If you need the faucet installed, let us know when you call for a quote so we can coordinate with your plumber.
We only work with slabs on the Austin floor. The yard has two hundred ninety-nine lots, so the selection is large, but if you want a specific stone that is not in stock, we cannot order it. If you want a rental-grade or flip-grade top, we work with a partner shop that sources stone from other yards, but the selection is still limited to what is available in the region.
