Pick the actual slab on an Austin floor, then one crew templates, fabricates, and installs the vanity. San Marcos sits in Hays County off the posted Austin and I-35 corridor list, so ring the shop to confirm the run before a template is booked.
A bathroom vanity top is a cut slab on a cabinet, with bowl cutouts, faucet holes, an edge, and usually a splash. ATX Granite King is the Austin crew that lets you pick the actual slab off a real Austin slab floor, then templates, fabricates, and installs it. One crew start to finish. Materials handled are granite, quartzite, engineered quartz, marble, dolomite, soapstone, porcelain slabs, and semi precious. Stone comes from a direct importer slab floor in Austin with 299 lots on the floor. Sink cutout and sink set are included in the fabrication work.
San Marcos is the Hays County seat on I-35, a university town with a large rental market alongside owner occupied older housing. Rental baths and flips often need a simple top, not a showpiece. The crew works with a slab selection and fabrication partner for rental grade and flip grade stone, so a rental does not have to pay for a showpiece slab. Owner occupied older houses in the same town more often keep the cabinet and put a remnant or a full slab on it, with a four inch backsplash and maybe a side splash. Single bowl is common in small baths. Double bowl shows up on wider master vanities.
The posted service area is Austin, Pflugerville, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Hutto, Jarrell, Salado, Belton, Temple, Killeen, Harker Heights, and the corridor. San Marcos is not on that list. A caller should ring the crew at (512) 297-7493 to confirm the run to a San Marcos address before anything is scheduled. Email is info@atxgraniteking.com. Reachable seven days a week. If you want a number, call for a straight quote. Dates are given in writing with that quote.
Vanity cabinets run many widths. A single bowl is the usual cut for a small hall bath. A double bowl needs enough width and two sink sets. The crew cuts bowls from the template. Undermount, drop in, and vessel bowls change how much stone remains at the front and sides. Sink cutout and sink set are included in the fabrication work. Call for a straight quote.
A four inch backsplash is common on a vanity. Full height splash is another option when the mirror does not cover the wall. Side splashes sit on the ends when the vanity hits a wall. Remnants sometimes will not yield a matching full splash, and the crew will say so on the floor. Call for a straight quote.
Bathroom tops use less stone than kitchens, so remnants off the Austin floor often fit. A remnant is leftover from a prior cut or a short lot among the 299 lots. Color and thickness still have to work with any splash. Rental grade stone from the partner is another path for a student rental bath. The crew will not force a remnant that is too small.
A bathroom vanity top is a slab of stone cut to sit on a cabinet, with holes for faucets and a sink, an edge profile, and usually a splash against the wall. ATX Granite King works granite, quartzite, engineered quartz, marble, dolomite, soapstone, porcelain slabs, and semi precious. You pick the actual slab off a real Austin slab floor with 299 lots on the floor, then the crew templates, fabricates, and installs it. One crew start to finish. Sink cutout and sink set are included in the fabrication work.
Granite is a natural igneous stone that is hard and heat tolerant but porous enough to want sealing. Quartz is engineered from ground stone and resin, is non porous, needs no sealing, and can be damaged by direct heat and by long UV exposure outdoors. Direct heat from a curling iron left on the top can still mark quartz. Marble is calcium based and etches from acids like lemon and vinegar regardless of sealing. Quartzite is metamorphosed sandstone and is very hard, though some slabs sold as quartzite are softer and behave more like marble. Look at the slab on the floor, not only the name on the tag.
San Marcos housing in Hays County mixes a large rental market with owner occupied older housing. University rentals and flips often get a simple single bowl vanity with rental grade or flip grade stone so the unit can turn without a showpiece slab. Older owner occupied baths along the I-35 corridor side of town more often keep existing cabinets and want a remnant granite or quartz top with a four inch splash. The posted area is Austin and the I-35 corridor. San Marcos is not listed. Ring (512) 297-7493 to confirm the run to a San Marcos address before anything is scheduled.
Work starts on the slab floor in Austin. You walk the 299 lots and pick the actual piece, or you use the rental grade and flip grade partner when the bath does not need a showpiece. After the stone is chosen, the crew comes to the house and templates the cabinet. The template records width, depth, wall out of square, faucet holes, bowl location, and splash returns. A vanity that sits between two walls needs extra care because stone does not flex. The crew gives dates in writing with the quote. There is no same day template promise.
Fabrication happens after the template. The slab is cut to the shape, the edge is worked, and the sink cutout is cut. Sink cutout and sink set are included in the fabrication work. Undermount sinks are typically adhered from below after the top is set. Drop in sinks sit in a cut opening. Vessel bowls sit on the deck with a drain hole only. Faucet holes are drilled to the trim you supply. The crew does not invent hole spacing. Bring the faucet or the spec. Porcelain slabs need different tooling than granite and take more care on inside corners.
Install is the same crew. They dry fit, set, level, and seal joints at the walls. Granite, marble, dolomite, and soapstone generally want a sealer on the top. Quartz generally does not. The crew is not the plumber. Supply lines, P traps, and shutoffs stay with your plumber. Old cabinets in owner occupied Hays County houses sometimes need shims before stone can sit flat. If a San Marcos address is confirmed for the run, the install date is the date in writing, not a guess on the phone. Call (512) 297-7493 for a straight quote. Email is info@atxgraniteking.com. Reachable seven days a week.
Marble looks calm in a bath and it is a poor match for toothpaste, lemon cleaner, and vinegar. It etches from acids regardless of sealing. That dull spot is the truth of calcium based stone, not a defect you polish out every weekend. Granite is generally harder and more heat tolerant, but it is porous enough to want sealing, and oil can still stain an unsealed edge. Quartz needs no sealing and is non porous, which helps around a wet sink, but a hot tool can scorch the resin. Soapstone is softer and will scratch. Porcelain can chip on a thin edge.
Remnants save stone and often fit a vanity, but they are leftover pieces. Veining may not continue onto a splash. Thickness may not match a leftover four inch strip. A double bowl vanity can eat a remnant that looked big on the rack. If the remnant is too small, the honest answer is a full slab from the 299 lots or the rental grade partner. Seams on a vanity are uncommon but a very long double bowl run can need one. Seams are visible. Anyone who says a seam disappears is selling you a story.
The posted service area is Austin and the I-35 corridor. San Marcos is not on the list. A confirmed run is not automatic. If the crew cannot make the trip work, the honest answer is no, and you should call another shop. Stone does not fix a rotten cabinet. If the vanity box is swollen from a leak, replace the cabinet first. The crew does not move plumbing. They do not paint walls. They do not promise a date that is not in writing with the quote. Call for a straight quote only after the address is confirmed.
For a wet vanity, engineered quartz is generally the low maintenance pick because it is non porous and needs no sealing. The downside is heat and the look of a printed pattern on some lots. Granite usually wants sealing and can take a hot tool better. It is a natural igneous stone, so pits and movement in the pattern are normal. Marble is the high maintenance pick. Acids etch it. If you want marble anyway, expect etch marks around the soap and the cups. Quartzite is very hard in most cases, though some slabs sold as quartzite are softer and behave more like marble. Dolomite sits between marble and quartzite. Soapstone will show use.
Layout starts with the cabinet you have, not a picture. Measure the box. A single bowl is simpler and leaves more deck for a cup and a bottle. A double bowl needs width or the two sinks crowd the faucets and the splash. Backsplash can be four inch, full height, or none if tile already covers the wall. Side splash is needed when the top dies into a side wall and you do not want water in the drywall. Match splash to the top when you can. If the remnant cannot yield it, pick a full slab or skip the matching splash.
Owner occupied older housing in San Marcos often keeps the existing vanity box and only replaces the top. That is remnant friendly work if the piece is large enough after bowl and faucet holes. A university rental unit is a different job. There the partner for rental grade and flip grade stone keeps the bath honest without a showpiece slab from the main floor. Semi precious and exotic porcelain are the other end, and they are a poor fit for a beaten rental. Decide based on who uses the room and how wet it stays, not based on a name. Call for a straight quote.
Start with a phone call, not a form. The number is (512) 297-7493. Email is info@atxgraniteking.com. The shop is reachable seven days a week. Say you have a bathroom vanity in San Marcos in Hays County. The posted service area is Austin and the I-35 corridor, with Austin, Pflugerville, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Hutto, Jarrell, Salado, Belton, Temple, Killeen, and Harker Heights named. San Marcos is not on that list. The caller should ring the crew to confirm the run to a San Marcos address before anything is scheduled. If the run does not work, they will say so.
If the run is confirmed, go to the Austin slab floor and pick the actual slab, or ask about the rental grade and flip grade partner. Bring cabinet width, depth, single or double bowl, sink type, faucet hole count, and whether you want a four inch splash, full height splash, side splash, or none. Photos of the vanity and the walls help. The crew templates after the stone is chosen. They do not template a job that has no stone assigned. Old plaster walls in older Hays County houses can be out of square, and that shows up on the template, not in a phone estimate.
The quote is a straight quote for that slab, that template, and that install. The square foot rate is on this page, and the quote for your job comes from the crew. If you ask about a number, the answer is to call for a straight quote. Dates come in writing with the quote. One crew handles template, fabrication, and install start to finish. Sink cutout and sink set are included in the fabrication work. Plumbing, paint, and cabinet rebuild are not. Semi precious and porcelain slabs follow the same path, with different tooling in the shop. Call (512) 297-7493. That is the whole path.
The posted service area is Austin and the I-35 corridor. San Marcos sits in Hays County on that corridor, so it is a normal call to take, but it is not on the posted list. Ring (512) 297-7493 and confirm the run to your address before you plan anything around a date.
$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.
The posted service area is Austin and the I-35 corridor, including Austin, Pflugerville, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Hutto, Jarrell, Salado, Belton, Temple, Killeen, and Harker Heights. San Marcos is not on that list. A caller should ring (512) 297-7493 to confirm the run to a San Marcos address before anything is scheduled. If the run does not work, the crew will say no. That is an honest limit, not a maybe. Call for a straight quote only after the address is confirmed.
Sometimes. Bathroom tops use less stone than kitchens, so remnants off the Austin floor with 299 lots often fit a single bowl. A double bowl eats more length and two cutouts. Veining may not match a splash. If the leftover is too small, you pick a full slab or the rental grade partner stone. The crew will not stretch a remnant that leaves a weak rail in front of the bowls. That thin strip in front of an undermount is where tops crack. Call for a straight quote once the piece is measured.
Yes, in most cases. Marble is calcium based and etches from acids like lemon and vinegar regardless of sealing. Toothpaste, some soaps, and toilet bowl splash can leave dull spots. Sealer helps with oil and water, not with acid etch. If you want a stone that generally ignores those spots, pick granite that you seal, or engineered quartz that is non porous and needs no sealing. The honest downside of marble in a bath is visible etch. Call for a straight quote if you still want marble.
Sink cutout and sink set are included in the fabrication work. You still supply the sink unless you arrange it another way on the call. Undermount, drop in, and vessel each change the cut. The crew is not the plumber and does not hook up supply lines. Faucet holes are drilled to the faucet you bring or the spec you send. If you skip the spec, the top can sit with no holes until you decide. That delay is on you. Call (512) 297-7493 for a straight quote.
The crew gives dates in writing with the quote. There is no same day or next day promise, and no count of days on this page. San Marcos is off the posted Austin and I-35 corridor list, so the run has to be confirmed before a date is real. Template happens after the slab is picked. Fabrication follows the template. Install is the same crew start to finish. If you need a calendar number, call (512) 297-7493 for a straight quote and the written dates that go with it.
