Stone Fabrication · Portland, Oregon
From raw slab to your kitchen. Every step visible.
We trace every vein by hand before a single cut is made. No surprises on fabrication day — just honest stone work, done right.
The Fabrication Process
What actually happens between "I want marble" and installation day.
Most fabricators skip this part. We think if you understand what you're paying for, you make better decisions — and so do we.

slabs in stock
Slab Selection at the Yard
You walk the yard with us. Every slab is tagged with origin, thickness, and square footage. We hold three candidates against your cabinet sample and natural light — because screens lie about marble.
What can go wrong: You fall in love with a slab that's 6 sq ft short. We check lot availability before you leave the yard. No surprises.
±1mm
laser accuracy
Digital Templating with Laser Measurements
Our templating crew arrives with a laser scanner, not a tape measure. Every cabinet, appliance cutout, and wall angle is captured to ±1mm. The digital file goes to CNC the same day.
What it costs: Templating is $150, credited back on confirmed orders. We don't guess — we measure twice, cut once.

edge profiles available
CNC Cutting & Edge Profiling
The slab goes on the CNC bridge saw. Cutouts for sinks and cooktops are routed with a diamond blade. Edge profiles — eased, bullnose, waterfall — are machined to your spec.
What can go wrong: Natural stone has fissures. We photograph every cut before it leaves the saw. If a natural crack appears near a seam, we call you before proceeding.

polish grits
Hand Polishing & Seam Alignment
After CNC, every surface is hand-polished through seven grits to 3200. Seams are dry-fit on the shop floor and photographed for your approval before the truck is loaded.
Honest note: Seams are visible in marble. We show you exactly where they'll land and why — corner seams beat field seams, always.
4–6 hrs
typical install
Installation Day
Two-person crew. Cabinets are shimmed level before the stone lands. Adhesive, silicone, and seam epoxy are color-matched to your stone. We don't leave until every edge is flush and every seam is invisible from standing height.
What to expect: A standard kitchen island takes 4–6 hours. We clean up completely. Your plumber can reconnect the same day.
Why Slab
We don't bid low to win the job and charge more on delivery day.
Three quotes for the same kitchen island shouldn't vary by $4,000. They do because most fabricators price a guess, not a job. We template first, then price — so the number we give you on Tuesday is the number you pay on Friday.

From Clients
Three types of clients. One consistent experience.
We got three quotes. Slab was the middle price — but the only one who templated before giving us a number. Everything else was a guess. Theirs was exact. No change orders, no surprises on install day.

I source stone for high-end residential projects across Portland. Slab is the only fabricator I trust with a client in the room during templating. They explain every seam placement before they make a decision.

I'm a GC. I've been ghosted by three fabricators after templating day. Slab answers the phone, shows up when they say, and the install crew doesn't leave until every edge is flush. That's rare.
