Expert custom stone countertops services for Manhattan homes and businesses
Custom stone countertops in Manhattan anchor your kitchen or bathroom renovation with natural beauty and lasting durability — marble, granite, quartzite, soapstone, and engineered quartz fabricated and installed to your specifications. Lion Construction Management handles the full countertop process — template, fabrication, delivery, and installation — coordinating with our cabinetry and plumbing teams for seamless integration. We source from top stone yards and work with your designer or architect to select the right material for your space, usage, and budget.
Working in Manhattan means tight spaces, vertical logistics, and zero tolerance for disruption. We coordinate freight elevator reservations, manage material staging in buildings with no storage, protect common-area hallways and lobbies, and sequence trades to minimize noise during restricted hours. Our superintendents and project managers understand the protocols of Manhattan high-rises — from lobby protection to post-construction common-area restoration — because we do this every day.
Marble, granite, quartzite, soapstone, and limestone countertops — each slab hand-selected for color, veining, and quality.
Caesarstone, Silestone, Cambria, and other premium quartz brands in a wide range of colors and patterns for low-maintenance luxury.
Full-height stone backsplash, book-matched slab backsplash, tile backsplash, and mosaic installations coordinated with your countertop.
Eased, beveled, bullnose, ogee, mitered, and waterfall edge details — milled to your specification for a custom look.
Waterfall edges, book-matched islands, mitered corners, and integrated drainboards for dramatic, modern kitchen design.
Professional sealing of natural stone surfaces with care instructions to protect your investment and maintain beauty over time.
We accompany you to the stone yard to hand-select your slabs — reviewing color, veining, bookmatching potential, and overall quality.
After cabinets are installed, a digital laser template captures the exact dimensions of your countertop, including cutouts for sinks, cooktops, and outlets.
Slabs are cut, edged, and polished at the fabrication shop using CNC machinery for precision. Seams are planned to minimize visibility.
Countertops are transported, set, leveled, and secured. Seams are filled, backsplash is installed, and natural stone is sealed for protection.
Custom craftsmanship projects in Manhattan require careful coordination between our mill shop, your building's management, and on-site installation teams. After design approval and detailed measurements, fabrication begins in our shop — typically 3-5 weeks depending on complexity. Meanwhile, we coordinate delivery logistics with your building, scheduling freight elevator time and staging areas. Installation in Manhattan apartments demands precision and cleanliness — our finish carpenters work with drop cloths, HEPA vacuums, and building-approved adhesives and finishes. Expect daily cleanup and common-area protection throughout the installation. Lion Construction Management handles everything from initial measurement through final touch-up, including paint-grade finishing if your millwork is being painted on-site.
It depends on your priorities. Quartzite and granite offer the best durability and stain resistance. Marble provides unmatched beauty but requires more maintenance. Engineered quartz offers consistency and low maintenance. We help you weigh aesthetics, durability, and budget to find the right material for your kitchen.
Stone countertop pricing in Manhattan varies by material: engineered quartz runs $60–$120/sq ft installed, granite $70–$150/sq ft, and premium marble or quartzite $100–$250+/sq ft. A typical kitchen (30–50 sq ft of countertop) ranges from $3,000–$12,000+ depending on material. We provide exact pricing after templating.
From templating to installation, the process typically takes 2–3 weeks. Slab selection should happen 4–6 weeks before you need countertops installed, to account for scheduling at the fabrication shop. We coordinate this timeline with your cabinet and plumbing schedules.
Yes. Full-height stone backsplash — using the same material as your countertop — is one of our most popular upgrades. We can also do book-matched backsplash where the slab pattern mirrors from countertop to wall for a dramatic, continuous look.
