Pick your slab off a real Austin floor, then one crew templates, fabricates and installs. Serving Temple and the I-35 corridor seven days a week.
Temple sits on the I-35 corridor with a mix of older homes near the center and newer builds on the edges. Kitchens and baths in these houses often need countertops that can handle daily use without demanding constant upkeep. Granite, quartz and quartzite are the most common choices here, but each material has tradeoffs that matter for how you live with it.
The crew at ATX Granite King handles the whole job start to finish: you pick the actual slab off a real Austin slab floor, then they template, fabricate and install it. That means no handoffs between sales, templaters and installers, just one crew that shows up on time and does the work. They also work with a partner for rental-grade and flip-grade stone, so a rental or flip doesn’t have to pay for a showpiece slab.
Service area covers Temple, Belton, Harker Heights, Killeen and the rest of the I-35 corridor in Bell County. Call for a straight quote.
You pick the slab off a real Austin floor with 299 lots on the ground. The same crew that templates your cabinets also fabricates the stone and installs it. No subcontractors, no missed handoffs. Sink cutout and sink set are included in the fabrication work.
Granite, quartzite, engineered quartz, marble, dolomite, soapstone, porcelain slabs and semi-precious stone. The crew also works with a partner for rental-grade and flip-grade stone, so you don’t have to pay for a premium slab if you don’t need one.
Stone comes from a direct importer slab floor in Austin. You see the actual slab you’re buying, not a sample or a photo. That means no surprises on color, veining or pattern when the install crew shows up.
Older homes in Temple often have tight kitchens with corner cabinets and small baths with pedestal sinks. The crew starts by templating the exact layout with a digital laser, so the stone fits the cabinets and appliances without gaps or misalignment. They measure twice, then fabricate the slab in their shop with sink cutouts and edge profiles already built in. On install day, the crew removes the old countertop, sets the new one, and seals the seams. The whole job usually takes one day for a kitchen and a few hours for a bath.
Newer builds on the edges of town tend to have larger kitchens with islands and double vanities. The same process applies, but the crew may need to stage the install in sections if the layout is complex. They’ll give you a written schedule with the quote, so you know when to expect templating, fabrication and install. No same-day or next-day promises, just a crew that shows up when they say they will.
The crew works seven days a week, so they can schedule around your timeline. If you’re flipping a house or renovating a rental, they can also work with your contractor to coordinate the install with plumbing, electrical and backsplash work. Call for a straight quote.
Granite is a natural igneous stone that forms from cooled magma. It’s hard, heat-tolerant and comes in a wide range of colors and patterns. Because it’s porous, it generally needs sealing once a year to resist stains. Granite is a good fit for kitchens and baths in older Temple homes where durability matters more than a perfect, uniform look. It’s also one of the more affordable natural stones, though prices vary by slab.
Quartz is engineered from ground stone and resin, so it’s non-porous and needs no sealing. It resists stains and bacteria better than granite, but it can be damaged by direct heat and long UV exposure outdoors. Quartz is a good choice for busy kitchens where low maintenance is a priority, but it’s not ideal for outdoor kitchens or homes with lots of direct sunlight. The crew can show you slabs in a range of colors and patterns, including options that mimic marble or granite.
Quartzite is metamorphosed sandstone, so it’s very hard and durable. It’s often sold as a premium alternative to marble because it resists etching from acids like lemon and vinegar. But not all slabs labeled as quartzite are the same, some are softer and behave more like marble. The crew can help you pick a slab that matches your needs, whether it’s for a high-traffic kitchen or a low-maintenance bath.
Granite is durable and heat-tolerant, but it’s porous and needs sealing. If you don’t seal it, it can stain from oil, wine or coffee. It’s also a natural stone, so no two slabs are identical. If you want a uniform look, granite may not be the best choice. On the other hand, if you like the variation in natural stone, it’s a good fit for kitchens and baths where you want a one-of-a-kind look.
Quartz is non-porous and needs no sealing, but it can be damaged by direct heat. If you put a hot pan on it, it can scorch. It’s also not ideal for outdoor use because long UV exposure can cause fading. Quartz is a good choice for busy kitchens where low maintenance is a priority, but it’s not as heat-tolerant as granite or quartzite. The crew can show you heat-resistant options, but no quartz is completely heat-proof.
Marble is calcium-based and etches from acids like lemon and vinegar, regardless of sealing. It’s a soft stone, so it can scratch and chip more easily than granite or quartzite. Marble is a good fit for low-traffic areas like bathroom vanities or fireplace surrounds, but it’s not ideal for busy kitchens. If you love the look of marble but want something more durable, the crew can show you quartzite slabs that mimic marble’s veining and color.
Older homes in Temple often have smaller kitchens and baths, so durability and low maintenance are usually the top priorities. Granite and quartz are the most common choices because they can handle daily use without demanding constant upkeep. If you cook a lot and want a heat-tolerant surface, granite is a good fit. If you want a non-porous surface that resists stains and bacteria, quartz is the better choice. The crew can show you slabs in both materials so you can compare.
Newer builds on the edges of town tend to have larger kitchens with islands and double vanities. If you’re renovating a rental or flipping a house, the crew can work with you to pick a slab that fits your budget. Rental-grade and flip-grade stone is available through their partner, so you don’t have to pay for a premium slab if you don’t need one. For a flip, quartz is often the best choice because it’s low-maintenance and resists stains.
If you’re not sure what you want, the crew can walk you through the options. They’ll ask about your lifestyle, your budget and how you use your kitchen or bath. They can also show you slabs in person at the Austin slab floor, so you can see the colors, patterns and veining up close. Call for a straight quote and to schedule a slab selection visit.
The first step is to call for a straight quote. The crew will ask about your project, kitchen, bath, rental, flip, and your timeline. They’ll give you a written quote with dates for templating, fabrication and install. No same-day or next-day promises, just a crew that shows up when they say they will. If you’re ready to pick a slab, they’ll schedule a visit to the Austin slab floor so you can see the actual stone you’re buying.
The crew works seven days a week, so they can schedule around your timeline. If you’re working with a contractor, they can coordinate with them to make sure the install fits with the rest of the renovation. They’ll also give you a written schedule with the quote, so you know what to expect. No surprises, no hidden fees, just a crew that does the work.
