We provide expert marble countertop installation tailored to both homes and businesses. Our process involves precise measurement, skilled fabrication, and careful fitting to ensure durability and a flawless finish that complements your space.
Residential Marble Countertop Installation
Our residential marble countertop installation focuses on enhancing kitchens and bathrooms with durable and elegant surfaces. We start by removing any existing countertops, then prep the area to support the new marble slab. Our team works with top-quality marble varieties like Carrara, Calacatta, and Statuario, chosen for their unique veining and color.
We handle every detail including custom edge profiles—such as beveled, bullnose, or ogee—to match your design preferences. The final installation ensures seamless joints and proper sealing to protect against stains or damage. We prioritize minimizing disruption and completing installations swiftly.
Commercial Marble Countertop Installation
For commercial spaces, our marble countertop installation combines aesthetic appeal with functionality. We accommodate higher traffic and frequent use by selecting durable marble types and finishes that resist wear. Our installations fit restaurants, retail counters, office spaces, and hotel lobbies.
We work around business hours and deliver efficient scheduling to avoid downtime. Our expertise includes fabricating large slabs for expansive surfaces and integrating cutouts for sinks or appliances. We ensure the marble installation complies with commercial building codes and sanitation standards.
Precision Measurement and Templating
Accurate measurement and templating are critical to a successful marble countertop installation. We use digital templating tools to capture exact dimensions, angles, and cutouts. This precision prevents costly errors and ensures the marble fits perfectly.
Our technicians verify measurements on-site before fabrication. This step allows us to plan for seams if necessary and optimize slab layout to reduce waste. With precise templating, the marble’s natural patterns align seamlessly and the installation process flows smoothly from fabrication to final fitting.
Our Marble Countertop Installation Process
We approach marble countertop installation with precision and care, ensuring every step enhances durability and aesthetic appeal. From shaping the marble to securing it in place and applying protective finishes, our process prioritizes quality and functionality.
Expert Countertop Fabrication Techniques
Our fabrication begins with thorough inspection and templating. We create accurate templates of your cabinets and fixtures to ensure perfect cuts. Using advanced tools like bridge saws and waterjet cutters, we shape the marble slabs with precision, minimizing waste and avoiding cracks.
Edges are finished to your preferred style—beveled, eased, or bullnose—using diamond polishing pads for a smooth surface. We tailor each step to the marble type, such as Carrara or Calacatta, considering their unique hardness and veining. This expertise ensures the stone’s integrity and visual appeal are maintained throughout.
Secure Anchoring and Placement
Proper support is vital due to marble’s weight and rigidity. We first verify that cabinets are level and sturdy. Where necessary, we reinforce bases with plywood to evenly distribute weight.
During installation, we use industrial-grade silicone adhesives to affix the slab securely to cabinetry. This adhesive provides flexibility and prevents future cracking. Overhangs receive additional support via brackets or corbels to avoid structural stress. We carefully align seams and cutouts for sinks and appliances, ensuring a seamless fit and long-lasting stability.
Marble Countertop Sealing and Finishing
Marble is porous and susceptible to stains, making sealing essential. After installation, we apply a premium penetrating sealer that protects against liquids and oils while maintaining the stone’s natural look.
We seal edges and joints with color-matched caulk to prevent moisture intrusion. Our team instructs you on ongoing care, including periodic resealing based on your usage patterns. Finally, we polish the surface to enhance sheen and resistance to etching, completing your countertops with a professional finish designed to preserve their beauty over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Marble Countertop Installation
How much does marble countertop installation cost?
Marble countertop installation costs range from $60 to $150 per square foot including materials, fabrication, and installation. Standard varieties like Carrara or Crema Marfil cost $60-$85 per square foot, while premium stones like Calacatta Gold or Statuario reach $100-$150 per square foot. Additional costs include edge treatments ($10-$25 per linear foot), sink cutouts ($200-$400), cooktop cutouts ($250-$450), and reinforcement for overhangs. Most kitchen projects range $4,000-$10,000 total depending on square footage and marble selection.
How long does marble installation take?
Marble installation takes 1-2 days for most kitchens after templating and fabrication are complete. The process includes precise templating at your home (1-2 hours), careful fabrication at our facility (7-10 business days due to marble's delicate nature), and professional installation with seam matching and final polishing. Standard installations complete in one day, while complex projects with book-matched slabs, waterfall edges, or intricate veining alignment require two days.
What marble types are best for kitchen countertops?
Carrara marble offers classic white background with gray veining and moderate durability for kitchen use, while Calacatta provides dramatic veining patterns with superior density. Crema Marfil features warm beige tones that hide etching better than white marbles. For high-use kitchens, we recommend denser varieties like Emperador Dark or Nero Marquina that resist wear better than softer stones. Honed finishes hide etching marks better than polished surfaces for kitchen applications.
Can you install marble countertops with undermount sinks?
Yes, we install marble countertops with undermount sinks using specialized techniques and structural adhesives designed for natural stone. Marble's porous nature requires careful sealing around sink edges to prevent water damage and staining. We reinforce sink areas with additional support and use marine-grade adhesives that bond securely to marble surfaces.
Do you fabricate custom marble countertops?
Yes, Fullerton Custom Granite Quartz Marble Countertops specializes in custom marble fabrication using advanced CNC machinery and traditional stone-working techniques. We create bespoke countertops with book-matched slabs for continuous veining patterns, custom edge profiles from simple eased to elaborate ogee designs, integrated drainboards, and specialized cutouts for cooktops and fixtures. Our fabrication process includes precise templating, careful slab selection for optimal veining placement, and expert craftsmanship to highlight marble's natural beauty.
