Services
Stone Fabrication
Our stone fabrication process utilizes Fusion SawJet and CNC technology to craft precise countertops from granite, quartzite, and marble. Clients participate in digital layout approvals using Slabsmith software for exact vein matching. Each piece undergoes hand-polishing and quality control checks before installation.
Tile Installation
We provide full-service tile installation for ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tiles in kitchens, bathrooms, and specialty spaces. Our designers assist with material selection and pattern planning, while experienced installers ensure precise execution of both modern and traditional layouts.
Countertop Repair
Our technicians specialize in repairing scratches, etching, and chips in natural stone and quartz surfaces. Using proprietary sealants and polishing techniques, we restore countertops to their original finish without visible damage, maintaining material integrity and aesthetics.
Digital Layout
Tithof's Slabsmith software creates dimensionally accurate digital slab representations for virtual project layouts. This technology enables precise seam placement, vein matching, and client approval before fabrication begins, minimizing material waste and ensuring design accuracy.
Edge Profiling
We offer custom edge profiling services to enhance countertop aesthetics, including bullnose, ogee, and beveled edges. Our CNC routers and hand-finishing techniques ensure consistent, polished results that complement each project's design theme.
