... My business is registered with the state of Hawaii. I carry $2 million general liability insurance. I have been in the construction trades for 43 years and on Hawaii Island for 18 years. In my earlier years, I spent four years in the Hawaii Carpenter Apprenticeship Training Program on Oahu and attended Honolulu community college. I normally submit written estimates for larger jobs. For smaller jobs, I can give a verbal estimate so my client has an idea as to costs before the work proceeds. I require payment when the work is complete to my customer's satisfaction unless agreed upon otherwise. I only require an up front deposit for the materials when they exceed $300. For projects outside the scope of my licenses, I partner with a HI licensed general contractor and have references from the top Big Island property managers and private clients.
"John did a fabulous job, did a lot of repairs, our house looks awesome!"

Stone Solutions imports prefab granite panels, fabricates and installs kitchen and bathroom counters as well as undertaking full kitchen & Bath remodels, including the setting of tiles.
"Most unethical company I have EVER dealt with. The owner lied about the job being completed so he could get his final payment. Left the job site a complete mess. Then after being told NOT to come back, he let himself into my home to finally finish the job….three weeks after he told us the job was complete. Barry won’t take a phone call from us NOR will he return one. Definitely will never use them again."

Since knowing how to install countertops correctly requires in-depth knowledge and understanding of the topic, we recommend hiring a professional countertops installer near you to work on this project. Kitchen countertops are a high-visibility investment, meaning mistakes made during DIY installation will be easy to spot, may cause damage, and potentially require re-purchasing materials. Professional countertop installers have the skills, tools, and experience to place your new kitchen feature safely and correctly.
There are several countertop options available to fit your lifestyle and needs.
Granite countertops are durable and come in a variety of colors.
Soapstone countertops are prone to scratches and best in smaller kitchens.
Marble countertops are less durable than granite but a good option for busy kitchens.
Slate countertops are stain-resistant, making them easy to clean.
Limestone countertops must be sealed often to prevent scratches.
Acrylic countertops cost less than granite while still providing durability.
Laminate countertops are the most affordable but chip and fade faster.
Wood countertops need monthly sealing to maintain.
The cost to install countertops is $3,105 on average. This project cost can range from $400 to $8,500, depending on the material, edging, and countertop size.
Laminate countertops are generally the most cost-efficient, ranging from $8 to $27 per square foot. On the other hand, slate countertops are considered more luxurious and range from $30 to $90 per square foot. There are also countertop materials priced between those two, including stainless steel, granite, Corian, and wood.
The best way to save money on countertop installation is to choose an affordable material. For example, if you have a busy kitchen and need durability, choose a more affordable but lasting material like granite countertops. Likewise, if you don't use your countertops often, you can use a softer material that costs less than more sturdy ones.
Another way to cut costs is to remove and dispose of the existing countertops yourself, if possible. That way, countertop installers can get straight to placing the new feature, reducing labor costs.
It typically takes one to three days to install kitchen countertops. A few factors like size and material impact the time it takes to install a countertop. For example, if you have two slabs of countertop material, it won’t take as long to install as placing several custom pieces of countertop.
This timelines allows for removing existing countertops and any plumbing disconnect and reconnect that needs to happen. Plan on the higher end of the time frame if you've chosen custom countertops versus large slabs.
