Pick the slab off the Austin floor, then one crew templates, cuts and installs. Sink cutout and set included.
Temple homes run from older centers with tight bathrooms to new builds with double-sink master suites. A stone vanity top fits both: remnant pieces work for small powder rooms, full slabs handle the long double-bowl setups.
We bring the template kit to your house, measure the cabinet, mark the faucet holes and sink drop, then cut the stone in our Austin shop. Backsplash and side splash choices are part of the same job, no separate trip, no extra charge for the cut.
The slab you pick is the slab you get. No swatches, no waiting on a warehouse; you walk the Austin floor, see the actual lot, and the crew installs it start to finish.
Template at the house, cut in the shop, install on the cabinets. No hand-offs, no subcontractors. If the sink is on site, we set it the same day the top goes in. Backsplash and side splash are cut from the same slab, so the color and pattern match exactly.
We cut the hole for the sink you bring, whether it’s a single bowl, double bowl, or vessel. Undermount, drop-in, or farmhouse, tell us the model when you call so we can confirm the fit before we cut. The cutout is part of the job; no extra line item.
Small vanities under 30 inches can use remnant pieces from the Austin floor. We keep a rack of leftovers priced for rental flips and powder rooms. You still pick the actual piece, so you know the color and veining before it’s cut.
First you pick the slab off the Austin floor. The floor has 299 lots of granite, quartzite, quartz, marble, dolomite, soapstone, porcelain, and semi-precious. You see the actual piece that will be cut, not a sample. If you want a remnant for a small vanity, we show you the rack of leftovers so you can compare colors and veining.
Next the crew templates at your house. They set a kit on the cabinet, mark the faucet holes, sink drop, and any overhang you want. They measure the backsplash height and side splash length if you’re adding them. The template is photographed and sent to the shop so the cut matches the cabinet exactly. No guesswork, no surprises on install day.
In the shop the slab is cut on a CNC bridge saw, then polished on the edges. Sink cutouts are done with a router and water jet, so the edges are smooth and the corners are rounded. If you ordered a backsplash or side splash, those pieces are cut from the same slab so the pattern runs continuously. The whole top is sealed if the stone needs it, then wrapped for transport.
Granite is a natural igneous stone. It’s generally hard and heat tolerant but is porous enough to want sealing. In most cases it resists scratches and stains, though lighter granites can show etching from acids like lemon juice. Because it’s natural, every slab is different, so you pick the actual piece you want off the Austin floor.
Quartz is engineered from ground stone and resin. It’s non-porous, needs no sealing, and comes in consistent colors. It can be damaged by direct heat and by long UV exposure outdoors, so it’s best kept inside. Some quartz brands have limited patterns, but the Austin floor carries a wide selection so you can still find a look you like.
Marble is calcium-based and etches from acids like lemon and vinegar regardless of sealing. It’s softer than granite and quartzite, so it can scratch and chip more easily. The veining is dramatic and unique, which is why some homeowners choose it despite the upkeep. If you pick marble, expect to see wear over time and plan to reseal it periodically.
A backsplash runs the full length of the vanity top and is usually 4 inches tall. It protects the wall from water and gives the top a finished look. You can match the vanity top exactly or pick a complementary stone from the remnant rack for a lower cost. The crew cuts the backsplash from the same slab as the top, so the pattern and color are continuous.
A side splash is a narrow strip that runs along the side of the vanity, usually 2 to 3 inches wide. It’s used when the vanity is against a side wall and you want to protect that wall from water. Side splashes are cut from the same slab as the top, so they match perfectly. If you’re doing a double-sink vanity, you can add side splashes on both ends or just one.
If you don’t want a backsplash or side splash, the crew can polish the edge of the vanity top where it meets the wall. This gives a clean look but leaves the wall unprotected. For rental-grade work, we often skip the backsplash to keep costs down, but the choice is yours. The template kit includes measurements for any splash you want, so the crew knows exactly where to cut.
Temple has a mix of older homes with tight bathrooms and new builds with double-sink master suites. For a small powder room in an older house, a remnant piece of quartz or granite can fit the space and keep the job simple. The remnant rack in Austin has pieces priced for rental flips, so you don’t have to pay for a full slab if you don’t need one.
For a master bathroom with a long double-sink vanity, a full slab of quartzite or granite gives a seamless look. You can pick a slab with bold veining for a statement piece or a subtle pattern for a neutral base. If you’re keeping the existing cabinets, measure the overhang you want, usually 1 to 1.5 inches, to make sure the new top fits without interfering with drawers or doors.
If you’re flipping a house in Bell County, consider the rental-grade slabs we source through a partner. These are priced for quick turnarounds and still look good in a bathroom. The crew can template and install in the same week, so you’re not holding up the sale. For a permanent home, pick a slab you’ll be happy with for years, even if it costs more upfront.
Call or email to set up a slab viewing at the Austin floor. The floor is open seven days a week, and the crew can meet you there to answer questions. Bring measurements of your vanity cabinet and any sink or faucet models you’re considering. The crew will confirm the slab fits your space and give you a straight quote in writing with dates for template and install.
If you’re in Temple, Pflugerville, Round Rock, or anywhere else on the I-35 corridor, the crew will drive to your house for the template. They’ll measure the cabinet, mark the faucet holes and sink drop, and confirm the backsplash and side splash choices. The template is photographed and sent to the shop so the cut is exact.
On install day, the crew brings the vanity top, sets it on the cabinet, and secures it with adhesive. If the sink is on site, they’ll set it the same day. Backsplash and side splash are cut from the same slab, so the pattern matches perfectly. The crew cleans up the site and leaves you with a finished vanity top, no follow-up needed.
$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.
Remnants work for small vanities under 30 inches, but most double-sink setups need a full slab. The Austin floor has a rack of leftovers priced for rental flips, but the pieces are usually too small for a long vanity. If you’re set on a remnant, the crew can show you what’s available, but expect to pay for a full slab if you need more length.
Granite, marble, and some quartzite slabs need sealing to resist stains. Quartz and most porcelain do not. The crew seals the top before install if the stone requires it, but you’ll need to reseal it periodically, usually every one to two years. The crew can recommend a sealer when they template, or you can buy one at a home store.
The crew cuts the hole to match the sink model you provide when you call. If the sink is on site during template, they’ll confirm the fit. If you change the sink after the template, the cutout may not match, and you’ll have to pay for a new cut. Always double-check the sink model before the crew cuts the slab.
No. You pick the actual slab off the Austin floor so you see the color, veining, and any flaws before it’s cut. Samples can be misleading, and online photos don’t show the true pattern. The crew can meet you at the floor to help compare slabs and answer questions about durability and upkeep.
The crew gives dates in writing with the quote. Template is usually scheduled within a few days of the slab pick, and install follows after the shop cut. The timeline depends on the shop schedule and how quickly you pick the slab. Call for a straight quote with dates so you know when to expect the work.
