You pick the actual slab from a real Austin slab floor. Then our crew templates, fabricates and installs it from start to finish.
Austin's housing stock runs from mid-century bungalows in the central neighborhoods to newer builds out northwest and southeast. Travis County covers a wide range of home ages and styles. Countertop needs vary by kitchen layout, budget, and how the stone will be used. The I-35 corridor connects the city to its suburbs, and many homes along that corridor are being updated with new countertops.
ATX Granite King works with a direct importer slab floor in Austin that has 299 lots on the floor. You go there, pick the actual slab you want. Then the same crew that templates your job also fabricates and installs it. Sink cutout and sink set are included in the fabrication work. There is no handoff between different crews.
The service area covers Austin, Pflugerville, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Hutto, Jarrell, Salado, Belton, Temple, Killeen, Harker Heights, and the I-35 corridor. The crew is reachable seven days a week by phone or email. They provide a straight quote: no pressure, no hidden fees, just the price for the work you need.
You pick the actual slab from a real Austin slab floor. The importer carries 299 lots of granite, quartzite, engineered quartz, marble, dolomite, soapstone, porcelain slabs, and semi precious stone. You see the full slab, not just a sample. What you choose is what gets installed.
The same crew that templates your kitchen also fabricates and installs the countertops. No subcontractors, no separate installers. The work includes sink cutout and sink set. The crew gives you dates in writing with the quote so you know what to expect.
For rental properties or flips, there is a slab selection and fabrication partner that offers stone at a price that does not include the cost of a showpiece slab. You still get a real stone countertop, but without paying for material that is meant for a high-end kitchen.
Granite is a natural igneous stone that is hard and heat tolerant. It is porous enough to want sealing, and sealing helps protect it from stains. With proper care, granite countertops can last a long time. Quartz is engineered from ground stone and resin. It is non porous, so it does not need sealing. But it can be damaged by direct heat and by long UV exposure outdoors, so it is best used indoors.
Marble is calcium based and etches from acids like lemon juice and vinegar. Even with sealing, the surface can dull or mark from acidic spills. Quartzite is metamorphosed sandstone and is very hard. Some slabs sold as quartzite are softer and behave more like marble, so it is important to ask about the specific stone. Each material has its own honest tradeoffs.
Porcelain slabs are also available and are very durable, but they can be more brittle than granite. Soapstone is a softer, non porous stone that develops a patina over time. Semi precious stone is a specialty option. The crew can help you understand the properties of each stone so you choose the one that fits your use and maintenance habits.
The process starts with you visiting the slab floor in Austin. You select the actual slab you want. The crew then comes to your home to template the countertops. They measure the existing cabinets and take notes for cutouts, seams, and overhangs. The template is used to fabricate the countertops in their shop.
Fabrication includes cutting the slab to the template, polishing the edges, and cutting the sink opening. The crew handles the sink cutout and sink set. They also fabricate any backsplash pieces if needed. Once the countertops are ready, they return to install them. The installation includes setting the stone, securing it, and sealing the seams if required.
The crew gives you the dates for both templating and installation in writing with the quote. They do not promise same day or next day work, but they give you a clear schedule. The entire process is managed by the same crew from start to finish, so there is no confusion about who is responsible for each step.
Austin's housing stock includes older homes with smaller kitchens and baths. Mid-century bungalows in central Travis County often have standard cabinet sizes and may need countertops that match the existing layout. Newer builds out northwest and southeast tend to have larger open layouts with islands and more linear feet of countertop.
For kitchens, consider how you cook. If you often set hot pots directly on the counter, granite is a better choice than quartz. If you want a low maintenance surface that does not need sealing, quartz is a good option. For baths, moisture is less of an issue, but marble may etch from toiletries and cleaning products.
The I-35 corridor connects many suburbs where homes are being updated. If you are selling a house, neutral stone colors tend to appeal to buyers. If you are staying, pick a stone you genuinely like. The crew can work with any slab you choose from the floor, and they can also help you understand which stone types are best for your specific use.
Not every kitchen needs a showpiece slab. For rental properties and flips, the cost of the stone can be a large part of the budget. ATX Granite King works with a slab selection and fabrication partner that offers rental grade and flip grade stone. This means you can get a real stone countertop at a price that fits the property's value.
The rental grade stone is still installed by the same crew, with the same templating, fabrication, and installation process. The difference is in the stone itself. It is solid stone, not a lower quality material, but it is priced to match the needs of a rental or flip property. You do not pay for the premium of a showpiece slab.
This option is useful for investors who need to update multiple units or for homeowners who want a durable countertop without the high cost. The crew can help you determine which slab lots are suitable for this grade. Call for a straight quote on both standard and rental grade work.

No, granite is porous and needs to be sealed periodically. How often depends on the specific slab and how much use it gets. Sealing helps prevent stains from oils and liquids. Granite is heat tolerant, but it is not indestructible. If you drop something heavy, it can chip. With proper care, granite countertops hold up well, but they do require some maintenance.
You should not put hot pans directly on quartz. Quartz is engineered from ground stone and resin, and the resin can be damaged by high heat. A trivet or hot pad is needed. Direct heat can cause cracks or discoloration. Quartz is also not suitable for outdoor use because UV exposure can fade or yellow the resin over time.
The crew gives you specific dates in writing with the quote. They do not promise same day or next day work. The timeline depends on the slab selection, templating, and fabrication schedule. Typically, you will have a clear idea of when templating and installation will happen. Call for a quote and they will give you the dates.
