Start Your Project: A 5-Step Guide from Showroom to Install
Embarking on a new countertop project? Whether you’re remodeling your kitchen, updating a bathroom, or designing a home from scratch, knowing what to expect from the process can make all the difference. At Precision Granite & Marble in Bluffton, SC, we pride ourselves on making your experience seamless, informed, and stress-free—from showroom visit to final install.
Here’s a step-by-step guide that breaks down what to expect when working with our expert team:
Step 1: Visit Our Showroom & Explore Your Options
Your journey begins with inspiration. Visit our walk-in showroom at 11 Parmenter Rd, Bluffton, SC to see full slabs, edge profiles, and design examples in person.
What to expect:
Bring in measurements of your existing space if you are keeping your existing countertops.
Explore a wide range of granite, quartz, marble, quartzite, and remnants.
Speak with our knowledgeable team about your vision, space, and budget.
Get hands-on with color, texture, and finish options.
Learn the pros and cons of each stone type based on your lifestyle and needs.
📌 Pro tip: Bring a cabinet sample, flooring swatch, or a photo of your space to match tones and finishes more easily.
Step 2: Get a Quote Based on Your Measurements
Once you’ve narrowed down your stone, it’s time to get pricing tailored to your project. We offer fast, transparent quotes with no hidden fees.
What you’ll need:
A rough sketch or dimensions of your space (even a photo taken with a phone and tape measurements helps!)
Any project plans or cabinet layouts, if you’re working with a designer or contractor
We’ll walk you through
Material cost per square foot
Edge profile options
Sink cutouts and backsplash options
Turnaround time estimates are based on your timeline and what projects are already in process.
Step 3: Schedule Templating & Finalize Selections
Once you approve your estimate, we schedule your templating appointment. This is where precision begins.
What happens during templating:
One of our experienced technicians comes to your home to laser-measure your countertops.
We confirm cabinet placement, overhangs, cutouts for sinks and cooktops, and any appliance clearances.
Your Countertops, Stove, and Sinks can NOT move after templating.
We’ll finalize your edge style, finish (polished, honed, leathered), and stone placement—especially important for slabs with veining or movement.
Step 4: Fabrication in Our Local Facility
Once templating is complete, we begin the custom fabrication process in our on-site shop in Bluffton. Our experienced craftspeople use CNC and hand-finishing techniques to ensure accuracy and beauty.
What’s happening behind the scenes:
Stone is cut using water-cooled CNC saws.
Edges are shaped and polished by hand.
Sinks and cooktop cutouts are prepped and reinforced.
Quality control checks happen before the install is scheduled.
Step 5: Professional Installation Day
Installation is typically completed in one day by our in-house team (no subcontractors!).
What to expect on install day:
Your old countertops (if applicable) are removed and disposed of.
Stone is placed, leveled, and secured with minimal disruption to your space.
Sink and appliance cutouts are double-checked.
Faucet holes are cut on-site.
Seams are sealed and surfaces cleaned.
We walk you through care and maintenance tips before wrapping up.
📸 Bonus: We love seeing your finished space!
