You pick the actual slab off a real Austin slab floor with 299 lots. Our crew templates, fabricates, and installs it in your Cedar Park kitchen or bath, sink cutout included.
Cedar Park sits along the US 183 corridor in Williamson County. A lot of the housing stock built from the 1990s through the 2010s is now hitting its first real kitchen update. Original laminate, tile, or thin builder tops are worn at the sink, the seams have opened, and many owners want a full slab that can take a new undermount sink without the old particle board swelling. That is the typical job we see when we template in this part of the corridor.
ATX Granite King is based in Austin and serves Cedar Park along with the rest of the posted corridor. You pick the actual slab on a direct importer floor in Austin. One crew then templates your cabinets, fabricates the tops, cuts the sink opening, sets the sink, and installs the finished pieces. Materials we handle are granite, quartzite, engineered quartz, marble, dolomite, soapstone, porcelain slabs, and semi precious. For a rental or a flip we work with a partner on rental grade and flip grade stone so the job does not have to use a showpiece slab.
Call (512) 297-7493 or email info@atxgraniteking.com. We are reachable seven days a week. If you want a number, call for a straight quote. The crew gives dates in writing with that quote. Do not expect a timeline invented on this page. Bring photos of the cabinets and a rough layout if you have them, or we measure on site when we template.
The stone comes from a direct importer slab floor in Austin with 299 lots on the floor. You pick the actual slab that will be cut for your Cedar Park house. That is how you see the real color, the veins, and the pits before anyone templates. Granite, quartzite, quartz, marble, dolomite, soapstone, porcelain, and semi precious are on that floor. We do not sell from a chip board alone.
Template, fabricate, and install are done by the same crew. Sink cutout and sink set are included in the fabrication work. That matters on a 1990s or 2000s Cedar Park kitchen where the cabinets are original and the old top was glued down. Fewer people in your house, fewer chances the template does not match the cut. Call for a straight quote once you know the material.
A rental or a flip along the 183 corridor does not need a showpiece. We work with a slab selection and fabrication partner for rental grade and flip grade stone. You still get a real slab, template, cut, and install, just not the expensive lot. Tell us what the house is for when you call for a straight quote.
Granite is a natural igneous stone. It is generally hard and heat tolerant, which is why people put hot pans on it. It is porous enough that it usually wants sealing, especially around a sink in a busy kitchen. Engineered quartz is ground stone and resin. It is non porous and needs no sealing. Direct heat can damage it, and long UV exposure outdoors can fade or chalk it. In most cases quartz is a kitchen and indoor bath material, not a patio top. Marble is calcium based. Acids like lemon and vinegar etch it whether you seal it or not. That is not a defect in the install. That is the stone.
Quartzite is metamorphosed sandstone. True quartzite is very hard. Some slabs sold as quartzite are softer and behave more like marble. They can etch and they can scratch. Ask to see how the slab reacts if that matters to you. Dolomite sits between marble and harder stone. Soapstone is softer, heat tolerant, and darkens with oil and use. Porcelain slabs are thin, hard, and generally stain resistant, but they can chip on a sharp impact and they need the right support. Semi precious slabs are decorative and usually for a small run or a vanity, not a full working island that takes a beating.
The job in Cedar Park is usually a kitchen and sometimes a bath. Cabinets from the 1990s through the 2010s are still in place. We template those boxes, check for level, and plan seams where the stone can hide them. An undermount sink means we cut the hole and set the sink as part of fabrication. If the old top was laminate on particle board, the cabinets may need a little shimming. We do not rebuild cabinets. We set stone on what is there, honestly, and we tell you if a box will not carry the weight. Call for a straight quote with photos if you want a first look.
You pick the slab first. The floor is in Austin. You walk it, you mark the piece, and that is the stone that gets cut. We do not swap it later for a different lot unless you ask. After that we schedule a template at your Cedar Park house. We measure the cabinets, the walls, the cooktop cut, the sink, and the overhangs. We note out of square walls, which are common in housing from that era along the 183 corridor. The template is what the shop cuts to. If the cabinets move after template, the stone will not fit.
Fabrication is in the shop. The slab is cut to the template, edges are profiled, the sink hole is cut, and the sink is set if that is the spec. Seams are planned on the template so they fall in low traffic spots or under a window if we can. Polishing happens before the stone leaves the shop. We do not polish a full kitchen on your floor. Install day the crew brings the pieces, dry fits, sets on silicone or the specified adhesive, pulls seams, and cleans up the dust we make. You need a clear path from the door to the kitchen. We are not a moving company for your fridge.
One crew start to finish means the people who saw your cabinets are the people who cut the stone and the people who set it. That is the point. Handoffs between a salesperson, a template guy, a shop, and a random installer are how pieces get cut wrong. We still make mistakes. Stone has natural fissures. A seam can show. An out of level run of cabinets from the 2000s will telegraph. We tell you that on template. Dates for template and install come in writing with the quote. Call (512) 297-7493 for a straight quote.

Granite looks like stone because it is stone. It can have pits, fissures, and color that shifts across one slab. Sealing is maintenance. Skip it and oil and wine sit in the pores. Heat is generally fine. A cheap granite that was already in a 1990s house may have been a thin remnant with a bad seam. Replacing it with a full slab from the Austin floor is a different product. Quartz is even and easy to wipe. The resin is the weak point. A hot pan can leave a dull spot. Outdoor kitchens and west facing uncovered bars are a poor match because of UV. In most cases we will say no to quartz outdoors.
Marble will etch. Lemon, vinegar, tomato, wine, even some cleaners. Sealing does not stop etching. Etching is a chemical change in the calcium. If you want a white veined top and you cook every night, you will see rings. That is the honest downside. Quartzite that is truly quartzite is closer to granite in hardness. The problem is labeling. Some lots called quartzite are dolomitic or marble-like. They look great and then they etch. We will not pretend every quartzite slab is bulletproof. Ask, and look at the slab on the floor yourself. Bring a lemon if you want to see it. We would rather you know before the template.
Porcelain can chip on a dropped cast iron. It is hard but brittle at the edge. Soapstone dents and scratches and then people oil it and call it patina. Semi precious is heavy, expensive looking, and usually the wrong choice for a whole Cedar Park kitchen that gets kids and homework. Rental grade stone is real stone with more variation, more filler, or a less popular color. It is not the same as the showpiece lots. If you want cheap and fast for a turnover, say so. If you want the slab you picked to last in a house you live in, pick accordingly. Either way call for a straight quote.
Start with how you cook and clean, not with a photo of a slab. If you set hot pans down, granite or true quartzite is generally the safer bet. If you want zero sealing and a uniform look, quartz is usually easier, with the heat and UV limits already stated. If you love marble, accept etching or keep it on a bath vanity where lemon is rare. Cedar Park houses from the 1990s through the 2010s often keep the original cabinet boxes and only change the top, the sink, and sometimes the cooktop. That means the stone has to fit old runs that may not be level and walls that are not square.
Look at the slab in person. Photos lie about movement and about how busy a pattern will feel on a small galley. Many kitchens in this era are galley or modest L shapes, not giant islands. A wild bookmatch can look chaotic on a short run. A quieter granite or a quartz with small movement often fits those rooms better. Measure your overhangs and your dishwasher. Confirm the cabinets can take the weight of stone. Particle board boxes that have already seen a water leak at the sink may need a carpenter before we template. We will tell you if we see rot. We do not fix rot.
Decide rental versus lived-in before you walk the floor. Flip grade and rental grade exist so a turnover does not burn money on a lot meant for a custom island. Lived-in means you pick the slab you want to look at for years, you seal granite if that is what you chose, and you live with the seams and the natural variation. Bring your cabinet color and your lighting notes. North light and can lights change how grey quartz reads. Then call for a straight quote. The square foot rate is on this page, and the quote for your job comes from the crew. Dates come in writing with the quote, not as a promise of same day or next day work.
Call (512) 297-7493 or email info@atxgraniteking.com. We answer seven days a week. Say you are in Cedar Park, what rooms, granite or quartz or quartzite or something else, and whether it is a house you live in or a rental or a flip. If you have cabinet photos and a rough size, send them. We still template in person. The phone call is so we know which slab floor visit makes sense and whether the partner route for rental grade is the right path. Do not ask this page for a number. Call for a straight quote. We serve the posted I-35 corridor list that includes Cedar Park.
Next you go to the Austin slab floor. 299 lots. You pick the actual slab. For rental grade the partner floor may be the stop instead. After the slab is chosen we quote. The quote includes fabrication, sink cutout, sink set, and install by the same crew. It includes written dates for template and for install. It does not include cabinet repair, plumbing hookup beyond setting the sink, or electrical. If your plumber needs to be there to reconnect the faucet, that is your plumber. We set the sink. We do not run new water lines. Be present or have a decision maker at template so overhangs and seam placement get signed off.
On template day we confirm the cabinets, the walls, and any surprises. Housing along the US 183 corridor from that build era often has a pantry bump, an angled wall, or a window stool that fights a standard overhang. We cut to what is there, not to a drawing that ignores the house. After template the shop fabricates. Then we install. You clear the old top if you are tearing out, or we can discuss tear out when you call. Keep pets and kids out of the work path. After install, granite generally wants sealer. Quartz does not. Follow the care that matches the stone you picked. That is the whole arc. Call for a straight quote to start it.
$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.
Yes. Cedar Park is on the posted service area list with the rest of the US 183 and I-35 corridor towns. You still pick the slab in Austin. The same crew templates, fabricates, and installs. Sink cutout and sink set are in the fabrication work. Call (512) 297-7493 or email info@atxgraniteking.com seven days a week for a straight quote. Dates come in writing with the quote. We do not give a number on this page.
Granite is generally hard and heat tolerant. It is porous enough that it usually wants sealing. Quartz is non porous and needs no sealing, but direct heat can damage it and long UV outdoors is a problem. For a working kitchen, either can work if you match habits to the stone. If you drop hot pans, granite or true quartzite is usually kinder. If you hate sealing, quartz is easier indoors. Look at the actual slab on the Austin floor. Call for a straight quote once you know the material.
We do not post a timeline in days on this page. Same day and next day work is not something we promise. The crew gives dates in writing with the quote after you pick the slab and we know the scope. Template happens at your house. Fabrication happens in the shop. Install happens after the pieces are ready. Cabinets that are not ready, a plumber who is not scheduled, or a change you make after template will move those dates. Call for a straight quote and you get the dates in writing.
Yes. Marble is calcium based and etches from acids like lemon and vinegar regardless of sealing. That is the honest downside. Sealer helps stains. It does not stop etching. If you cook with citrus and tomatoes every day, you will see dull spots. Some people like that look. Most people who want a white kitchen and also want a work surface that stays even should look at quartz or a lighter granite instead. We still fabricate marble when you pick it. We will not tell you it behaves like quartz. Call for a straight quote if you still want it.
Yes. We work with a slab selection and fabrication partner for rental grade and flip grade stone. A rental does not have to pay for a showpiece slab. You still get a real piece, a template, fabrication with sink cutout and sink set, and an install. The lot will have more variation or a less popular color. That is the point of that path. Tell us it is a rental when you call. Call (512) 297-7493 for a straight quote. Do not use this page to guess a number.
Tell us the rooms, the rough square footage and what you have in mind for countertops in cedar park. You get a number for the whole job, in writing, before anyone cuts anything.
