Natural Stone, Precisely Installed
Stone countertops are the defining surface in any kitchen or bathroom—the material you touch, cook on, and see every day. Choosing the right stone, getting a perfect fabrication, and ensuring flawless installation requires expertise that goes beyond simply placing a slab on top of cabinets. Edge profiles, seam placement, sink cutouts, backsplash integration, and proper support all determine whether your countertop looks custom or compromised.
Lion Construction Management provides complete stone countertop and backsplash services across NYC and Long Island. We guide you through slab selection at stone yards, coordinate digital templating for precision fit, manage fabrication with edge profile selection and sink cutout specifications, and execute installation with level surfaces, tight seams, and proper sealing. We work with marble, granite, quartzite, engineered quartz, soapstone, and specialty natural stones.
Our backsplash services include full-height stone slab backsplashes, bookmatched installations, and tile backsplash installation coordinated with your countertop for a cohesive design.
Accompaniment to stone yards for slab selection—evaluating veining, color, movement, and quality. We help you choose stones that look beautiful and perform well for their intended use.
Laser-accurate digital templating after cabinet installation—capturing every angle, outlet location, and sink position for precision fabrication with minimal seams.
Full range of edge profiles—eased, bullnose, ogee, mitered, waterfall, and custom profiles—selected to complement your kitchen or bathroom design.
Full-height slab backsplashes, bookmatched panels, and tile backsplash installation with waterproof membranes and clean grout lines.
Precision cutouts for undermount sinks, cooktop openings, faucet holes, and soap dispenser locations—polished and sealed for a clean, professional finish.
Professional stone sealing with premium impregnating sealers that protect against staining without changing the stone's appearance. Sealing is included on all natural stone installations.
We visit stone yards with you to select individual slabs—evaluating quality, color consistency, and veining patterns. For large projects, we tag specific slabs to ensure the material matches your vision.
After cabinets are installed and leveled, our fabrication partner creates a digital template with laser precision—capturing every measurement for perfect-fit fabrication.
CNC cutting, edge profiling, sink cutouts, and surface finishing. Fabrication typically takes 5–10 business days after templating. Complex projects with bookmatching may require additional time.
Professional installation with proper support, adhesive, and leveling. Seams are color-matched and minimized. Natural stone is sealed, and all surfaces are cleaned and inspected.
Stone countertops are a significant investment that you'll live with for decades — choosing the right material, fabricator, and installer determines whether you get a stunning, durable surface or one that stains, chips, or develops uneven seams. Marble is beautiful but requires sealing and careful maintenance. Quartzite offers marble aesthetics with harder durability. Granite provides variety at lower price points. Engineered quartz delivers consistency but can't match natural stone's depth. Lion Construction Management guides you through material selection, brings you to top stone yards to select specific slabs, and coordinates fabrication, delivery, and installation. We template after cabinets are installed (never before) so seams are minimized and cutouts are exact.
It depends on your priorities. Quartzite and granite offer the best durability and stain resistance for busy kitchens. Marble is stunning but requires more maintenance and etches with acidic foods. Engineered quartz provides consistent appearance with minimal maintenance. We help you weigh beauty, durability, and maintenance for your lifestyle.
Stone countertops typically range from $60–$200+ per square foot installed, depending on material. Engineered quartz starts around $60–$100/sf, granite $70–$120/sf, marble $80–$150/sf, and premium quartzite $100–$200+/sf. Pricing includes templating, fabrication, edge profile, and installation. Call (917) 575-1306 for a project estimate.
Seam placement is planned during templating to minimize visibility—typically at natural transition points, behind sinks, or at corners. For large islands, seam placement is discussed during slab selection so we can orient veining to make seams as invisible as possible.
Yes. We seal all natural stone countertops with premium impregnating sealers that protect against staining without altering appearance. Sealing should be reapplied every 1–2 years for marble and annually for lighter granites. Engineered quartz does not require sealing.
