Same crew templates, fabricates, and installs. Pick slabs off the Austin floor or use rental-grade material for fast turns.
ATX Granite King handles commercial countertops for Austin and the I-35 corridor. We work with property managers, restaurant owners, and builders who need durable surfaces for break rooms, reception desks, bar tops, or apartment unit turns.
You select the slab in person at our Austin slab yard, 299 lots of granite, quartzite, engineered quartz, marble, dolomite, soapstone, porcelain, and semi-precious stone. For rental-grade or flip-grade projects, we partner with a slab selection and fabrication team to keep the job moving without overspending on premium material.
One crew does the template, fabrication, and install. Sink cutouts and setting are included. We give written dates with the quote and work seven days a week.
Walk the floor and pick the actual slab that will be cut for your job. The yard has 299 lots of natural and engineered stone. For volume unit turns, we source rental-grade material through a partner to avoid premium slab costs while keeping the same fabrication and install process.
The same team templates on-site, fabricates in the shop, and installs. No handoffs between subcontractors. Sink cutouts and setting are included in the work. We provide written dates with the quote so you can schedule around the install.
Granite is hard and heat-tolerant but needs sealing. Quartz is non-porous and doesn’t need sealing but can be damaged by direct heat or long UV exposure. Quartzite is very hard, though some slabs sold as quartzite behave more like marble. Marble etches from acids regardless of sealing.
Commercial countertops are built for durability and speed. Property managers need surfaces that hold up to tenant turnover, restaurant owners need heat and stain resistance, and builders need fast installs to keep projects on schedule. The work starts with a template on-site, where we measure the exact dimensions and mark cutouts for sinks, outlets, or edge details. For multifamily unit turns, we often template multiple identical units in one visit to save time.
Fabrication happens in the shop. The slab is cut to the template, edges are shaped, and sink holes are routed. For engineered quartz or porcelain, the material is more consistent, so fabrication is predictable. Natural stone like granite or marble can have variations in color or veining, which means the final look depends on the slab you pick. We work with a direct importer, so the slabs on the floor are the ones available for your job.
Installation is the last step. The crew brings the fabricated pieces to the site, sets them in place, and secures them with adhesive. For bar tops or reception desks, we often work around existing fixtures or electrical. Sink cutouts are included, and we set the sink if it’s provided. The goal is a clean install that doesn’t disrupt business operations more than necessary.
Volume projects, like apartment unit turns or new construction, require a different approach than single custom jobs. For these, we use rental-grade or flip-grade material sourced through a partner. This keeps costs down while maintaining the same fabrication and install quality. The process starts with a bulk slab selection, we pick material that’s consistent in color and thickness to avoid mismatches across units.
Templates are done in batches. If units are identical, we template one and replicate the measurements for the rest. This speeds up the fabrication process, as the shop can cut multiple pieces at once. For natural stone, we still inspect each slab for cracks or imperfections before cutting, but the goal is to move quickly without sacrificing durability. Engineered quartz is often the best choice for volume work because it’s consistent and doesn’t require sealing.
Installation is scheduled to minimize downtime. For multifamily, we coordinate with property managers to work around tenant move-ins. For restaurants or bars, we often install during off-hours to avoid disrupting service. The crew brings all the tools and materials needed for the job, so there’s no waiting on subcontractors or additional deliveries.
Granite is a natural stone that’s hard and heat-tolerant, but it’s porous and needs sealing to resist stains. It’s a good choice for break rooms or reception desks where durability is key, but it’s not ideal for high-acid environments like bars where spills are common. The look varies by slab, so what you see on the floor is what you get.
Quartz is engineered from ground stone and resin, so it’s non-porous and doesn’t need sealing. It’s consistent in color and pattern, which is useful for volume projects. However, it can be damaged by direct heat or long UV exposure, so it’s not the best choice for outdoor bars or areas with strong sunlight. It’s also more expensive than some natural stones, though the low maintenance can offset the cost over time.
Marble is calcium-based and etches from acids like lemon or vinegar, regardless of sealing. It’s not ideal for restaurants or bars where spills are frequent, but it’s a good choice for reception desks or low-traffic areas where aesthetics matter more than durability. Quartzite is harder than marble and generally more durable, though some slabs sold as quartzite are softer and behave more like marble. Always check the slab in person to know what you’re getting.
Start by considering the use case. For high-traffic areas like restaurant bars or break rooms, durability and stain resistance are critical. Granite or quartzite are good choices here, as they’re hard and heat-tolerant. For low-traffic areas like reception desks or model units, marble or dolomite can work if you’re okay with the maintenance. Engineered quartz is a safe middle ground, it’s consistent, non-porous, and doesn’t need sealing, but it’s not as heat-resistant as natural stone.
Next, think about the volume. For single custom jobs, you can afford to pick a premium slab with unique veining or color. For multifamily unit turns or new construction, rental-grade material is a practical choice. It’s less expensive and still durable, but it won’t have the same high-end look as premium slabs. We can show you both options at the slab yard so you can compare.
Finally, consider the timeline. Natural stone can have longer lead times if the slab you want isn’t in stock. Engineered quartz is more predictable, as it’s manufactured to order. For volume projects, we recommend scheduling templates early to lock in dates. The crew provides written dates with the quote, so you can plan around the install without surprises.
Call or email to set up a slab selection appointment. The yard is in Austin, and we’re open seven days a week. Walk the floor and pick the actual slab that will be cut for your job. For rental-grade or flip-grade material, we’ll connect you with our partner to source consistent, cost-effective slabs for volume projects.
After slab selection, the crew comes to your site for a template. We measure the exact dimensions and mark cutouts for sinks, outlets, or edge details. For volume projects, we template multiple identical units in one visit to save time. You’ll get a written quote with dates for fabrication and install, so you can schedule around the work.
Once the quote is approved, fabrication begins in the shop. The slab is cut to the template, edges are shaped, and sink holes are routed. Installation is the last step, the crew brings the fabricated pieces to the site and sets them in place. Sink cutouts and setting are included. We work around your schedule to minimize disruption, whether it’s a restaurant, bar, or multifamily property.
$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.
Rental-grade material is sourced through a partner for volume projects like apartment unit turns. It’s less expensive and consistent in color and thickness, but it won’t have the same high-end look as premium slabs. Premium slabs are the ones on the Austin floor, natural stone with unique veining and color variations. Rental-grade is practical for fast turns, while premium slabs are better for custom jobs where aesthetics matter.
Yes, we can schedule installs during off-hours to avoid disrupting service. The crew works efficiently to get the job done with minimal downtime. We’ll coordinate with you to pick a time that works for your business, whether it’s early morning, late evening, or a day when the restaurant is closed.
Marble is calcium-based and etches from acids like lemon or vinegar, regardless of sealing. This means it can show stains or dull spots from spills, which is a problem in restaurants or bars. It’s also softer than granite or quartzite, so it can scratch or chip more easily. It’s a good choice for low-traffic areas like reception desks, but not for high-use spaces.
Sink cutouts are included in the fabrication work. We route the hole to match the sink dimensions and polish the edges. If you provide the sink, we’ll set it during installation. For drop-in sinks, we secure them with adhesive and seal the edges. For undermount sinks, we attach them to the underside of the countertop before setting the slab in place.
Granite or quartzite are the best choices for outdoor bar tops because they’re hard and heat-tolerant. Engineered quartz can be damaged by long UV exposure, so it’s not ideal for outdoor use. Natural stone like granite holds up better to the elements, but it still needs sealing to resist stains. Always check the slab in person to make sure it’s suitable for outdoor conditions.
