Pick your slab off the Austin floor, then one crew templates, cuts, and sets it in Harker Heights. Sink cutout and set included.
Harker Heights sits along US-190 next to Killeen, with a lot of owner-occupied homes built in the last twenty years. Most of those houses have laminate or tile countertops that were chosen for cost, not for how they hold up to daily use. When the seams start to lift or the grout stains, homeowners look for something that lasts.
We handle granite, quartzite, engineered quartz, marble, dolomite, soapstone, porcelain slabs, and semi-precious stone. You walk the Austin slab floor, pick the actual piece that will go in your house, and our crew templates, fabricates, and installs it. Sink cutout and set are part of the job.
The work is done by the same crew that shows up for the template, so there are no handoffs or scheduling gaps. We serve Harker Heights, Killeen, and the rest of the I-35 corridor seven days a week.
We template, fabricate, and install. No subcontractors, no middlemen. The same team that measures your Harker Heights kitchen is the one that cuts the slab and sets it, so there are no miscommunications or delays between trades.
We cut the hole for your sink and set it in place. You do not have to coordinate a separate plumber or sink installer. The template crew notes the sink model and location, and the shop cuts the opening to match.
We source from a direct importer with 299 lots on the floor. You see the actual slab that will go in your house, not a small sample. The floor is open seven days a week, and we can meet you there to help with selection.
Most of the homes here were built between the early 2000s and today, with laminate or tile countertops. Laminate is cheap but swells at the seams and scratches easily. Tile is durable but the grout lines trap dirt and need constant cleaning. Owners who want something that lasts without daily maintenance usually look at granite, quartz, or quartzite.
Granite is a natural igneous stone. It is hard and heat tolerant, but it is porous and generally needs sealing every one to two years. Quartz is engineered from ground stone and resin. It is non-porous, needs no sealing, and comes in consistent colors, but it can be damaged by direct heat and by long UV exposure outdoors. Quartzite is metamorphosed sandstone. It is very hard, but some slabs sold as quartzite are softer and behave more like marble, so you need to test the actual piece you pick.
In Harker Heights, most kitchens are mid-sized with a single sink and a peninsula or island. Bathrooms tend to be small to medium, with vanities that are 36 to 72 inches wide. The local housing stock does not usually need exotic edge profiles or waterfall islands, so we focus on straight, clean lines that hold up to daily use.
The process starts on the Austin slab floor. You pick the actual piece that will go in your house. We can meet you there to help with selection, or you can go on your own. Once you have chosen, we schedule the template. The template crew comes to your Harker Heights home with a laser, measures the cabinets, marks the sink location, and notes any appliances or outlets that need to be worked around.
The slab is then taken to the shop for fabrication. We cut the sink hole, polish the edges, and drill any faucet holes. The install crew brings the finished piece to your house, sets it on the cabinets, and secures it with adhesive. They level the countertop, seal the seams if there are any, and clean up the site. The whole job is done in one trip from template to install, with no return visits for touch-ups.
For rental-grade or flip-grade stone, we work with a slab selection and fabrication partner. This lets you get a durable countertop without paying for a showpiece slab. The process is the same: you pick the slab, we template, fabricate, and install.
Granite is hard and heat tolerant, but it is porous and needs sealing. If you spill red wine or lemon juice and do not wipe it up quickly, it can stain. Sealing helps, but it is not a permanent fix. Some granites are softer than others, so the durability can vary from slab to slab.
Quartz is non-porous and needs no sealing, but it is not heat proof. A hot pan can scorch the resin, leaving a permanent mark. It is also not UV stable, so it is not a good choice for outdoor kitchens. The colors are consistent, but the patterns can look artificial up close.
Quartzite is very hard, but some slabs sold as quartzite are actually softer and behave more like marble. Marble itself is calcium-based and etches from acids like lemon and vinegar, regardless of sealing. Soapstone is non-porous and does not need sealing, but it is soft and scratches easily. Dolomite is similar to marble but slightly harder, though it still etches from acids.
Start with how you use the space. If you cook a lot and set hot pans on the counter, granite or quartzite is a better choice than quartz. If you want something that never needs sealing, quartz or soapstone is the way to go. If you like the look of marble but do not want the maintenance, quartzite or dolomite might be a compromise, but test the actual slab for hardness.
Next, think about the style of your Harker Heights home. Most of the houses here are traditional or transitional, with neutral color palettes. Granite and quartz come in a wide range of colors, so you can match almost any cabinet or backsplash. Quartzite and marble have more natural variation, which can look striking but may not fit a more understated kitchen.
Finally, consider the long-term plan. If you are flipping the house, you might want a rental-grade slab that is durable but not expensive. If you are staying for years, you might invest in a showpiece piece of granite or quartzite. Either way, pick the actual slab off the floor so you know exactly what you are getting.
Call or email to set up a slab viewing in Austin. We can meet you at the floor to help with selection, or you can go on your own. Once you have picked the slab, we schedule the template. The template crew comes to your Harker Heights home, measures the space, and notes the sink and appliance locations.
After the template, we give you a written quote with the dates for fabrication and install. There are no hidden fees or upsells. The quote includes the slab, fabrication, sink cutout, sink set, and install. If you have questions about the process or the materials, we answer them straight, no marketing talk.
We serve Harker Heights, Killeen, and the rest of the I-35 corridor seven days a week. The phone and email are answered every day, so you can call for a straight quote or to schedule a template at your convenience.
$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.
We give dates in writing with the quote. The timeline depends on the slab you pick and the shop schedule, but we do not promise same-day or next-day anything. The crew that templates is the same one that installs, so there are no scheduling gaps.
We do not include sealing in the install. Granite is generally porous and needs sealing every one to two years. You can do it yourself with a store-bought sealer, or hire a local company to handle it. We can recommend a product if you ask.
If you are adding to an existing countertop, we can template the new section to match the old one. But natural stone varies from slab to slab, so an exact match is not always possible. Engineered quartz is more consistent, so it is usually a better choice for additions.
Quartz is non-porous and needs no sealing, but it is not heat proof. A hot pan can scorch the resin, leaving a permanent mark. It is also not UV stable, so it is not a good choice for outdoor kitchens. The patterns can look artificial up close, and the colors are consistent but not always unique.
Yes. We partner with a slab selection and fabrication company for rental-grade and flip-grade stone. This lets you get a durable countertop without paying for a showpiece slab. The process is the same: you pick the slab, we template, fabricate, and install.
