“Home Sweet Home” may be a cliché stitched on needle point pillows, but it’s also a true and universal sentiment. On the heels of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people have renewed appreciation of their homes and want to make them as beautiful, comfortable and functional as possible.
Based in Trenton, Marble & Granite Fabricators Inc. provides the premier products, service and craftsmanship you need to elevate your living space, especially kitchens, baths and outdoor patios. The family-owned and -operated business handles both residential and commercial projects, working directly with homeowners and contractors through out the tri-state area to provide “customer satisfaction set in stone.”
“We’re very conscientious and make sure everyone is happy when the job is completed,” said Trish Buckley, office manager of Marble & Granite Fabricators. “My husband, Hugh, installs with his crew and Andrzej, his partner, does all the templates, so there’s always an owner on every job. We handle repairs, and we service all of our projects, so if you have issues down the road, we’ll come back.”
From concept to completion, Marble & Granite Fabricators offers design, fabrication and installation of top-grade granite, marble, quartz and soapstone from brands such as Pental Quartz, Cambria, MSI Quartz, Silestone, Spectrum Quartz, Emerstone, Radianz, Compac, Wilsonart, Enigma, Viatera and Alleanza.
Services include kitchen and bathroom countertops and backsplashes, fireplace mantels, custom tables, vanities, outdoor kitchens and fire pits. They’ve even crafted custom stone sinks for a seamless look across a countertop.
“It looks very pretty when you have a material with a pattern and the pattern flows into the sink and then out,” said Buckley, who noted that kitchen countertop remodels are the company’s most popular project right now. “People are really interested in quartz countertops. You can get quartz that doesn’t have a busy pattern and looks more like marble. White is still very popular.”
Unlike granite and marble, quartz is not 100% natural stone. Rather, countertops are
manufactured using 95% ground natural quartz and 5% polymer resins to create a more durable, nonporous and easier-to-maintain surface — which is especially desirable in hard-working kitchens.
Buckley said homeowners are adding beauty and function to their outdoor spaces as well, from full kitchens and bars to barbecue stations for amateur grill masters. “A lot of people are installing outdoor pizza ovens, so they want a countertop for that,” she said.
