If you are shopping for granite or quartz countertops in Virginia Beach, it is important to understand the difference between a natural stone supplier and a fabricator. Natural stone suppliers like CRS, Architectural Surfaces, and MSI are wholesale distributors that stock a wide variety of materials—quartz, granite, marble, and more. While they allow homeowners to browse stone selections, they don’t sell directly to the public or provide exact pricing.

The Best Way to Get a Quote for New Countertops Getting an accurate price on new countertops is easier than you might think. Here’s a quick guide to help you (and us) get the ball rolling: 1. Start with a Rough Layout or Measurements • A simple sketch of your kitchen with dimensions is perfect — even a photo of a drawing works. • Don’t have that? Just give us rough square footage (length x depth of each section). 2. Choose Your Material • Are you leaning toward granite, quartz, quartzite, or another option? • Each surface has different price points and availability, so this helps narrow things down. 3. Share Your Style Preferences • Do you prefer something clean and neutral, or bold and [...]

Absolutely!! Because Quality Stone Concepts actually cuts, polishes and installs your granite, we have over 50 types of slabs to look at. Swing by our newly renovated showroom and "tag" your material.

Granite typically comes in 3 different thicknesses. 1cm for tiles, 2cm (3/4” thick) for bathroom vanity tops and fireplace surrounds and 3cm (1 1/4” thick) for kitchen countertops. The average slab of granite is approximately 115”x65”.

Prefabricated granite is granite that has been cut and polished overseas to take advantage of lower labor costs. Quality Stone imports prefabricated granite vanity tops. We carry 4 colors in 7 standard sizes. These 2cm granite vanity tops are imported with the backsplashes already cut, the faucet spreads are already drilled and the undermount bowl cut out is already done. The labor savings are passed to the customer.

Absolutely, we have a large selection of remnant pieces of granite. The benefit of using remnant pieces of granite is that you can save money as well as eliminate the costly waste associated with buying an entire slab of granite. Remnant pieces of granite are optimal for single bathroom vanity tops.

In addition to the cost savings of bundling all of your materials though one supplier, we can provide a one stop solution for all of your remodeling needs. Instead of having one supplier provide your sinks, one supplier provide your faucets, another for your cabinets and a fourth company providing your granite countertops we can help you with all. This helps shorten lead times, lower overall cost and helps minimize numerous headaches that come along with a typical kitchen and bath remodel.

Lead times will vary. However, approximately 1-2 weeks after the final measurement have been take is a good estimation. Contact QSC for current lead times.
