Marble is the largest fabricator of granite countertops, marble countertops, jacuzzi and fireplace surrounds, and other stone surfaces on the East Coast. We fabricate and install granite countertops in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania
"They first messed up on the initial taping. I was there for three hours since they were shortstaffed, but that wasn’t a problem, I wanted to make sure everything was right. Also, make sure you familiarize yourself with the price tiers they offer bc they won’t tell you unless you ASK. I came for one granite and it was hideous upon inspection, so I spent 30 min walking around until I found something I loved. At no time did they let me know that what I chose was from the highest price tier (when I originally came in to look at something from the second highest price tier. There was over a $2,000 difference that they only made me aware of a few days later when they sent me a new estimate. While out in the yard the sales person made good conversation but went through two rolls of masking tape channeling his inner NBA star in between taping the slab by crumpling wads of it and “free throwing” them in between surrounding slab groupings. Because of this, instead of going inside to get a third roll of tape we decided to call it a day since it was 545 and we were both sweaty and tired. He said he would cool off and finish up, but he did not. A different person finished up the taping. Then a manager called me to ask if I could confirm the tapings before cutting. To my surprise The halfway taped kitchen counter transformed into another bathroom vanity. I was super surprised that three people didn’t double check the work and it was sent out to the customer like this when the plans clearly state what is needed and if they just looked at the plans they would see that a piece was missing and that there was only one bathroom vanity ordered. Luckily I didn’t have to go back in to re-tape. For installation, I did not get a time of arrival until 4pm the day before. They did not call when they were on their way. They came 45 minutes early and I was not on location. Then comes the next surprise: supports are needed for both the kitchen and bathroom. The template guy did NOT tell us that was needed at time of measurements. We would’ve obviously installed them prior if we knew. According to one of the install guys, “this is has been happening a lot lately, and it makes us look like ********”, which is quite true! They are the ones whom get yelled at when the template guy doesn’t do his job. So now they have to use pirated pieces of Formica from the old countertops to use as temporary supports that I hope holds for 10 days until my contractor starts. I was slightly upset at this news and made it known. One tech understood. The other, the one who just complained how the measure tech has been making them look bad, took it personally when I referred to the company as “you”. The measure tech and install techs were different people, obviously I meant the company as a whole. Voices were raised and this created some uncomfortable tension. Over an hour later comes yet ANOTHER SURPRISE: the template guy, Joe, if I remember correctly, didn’t take proper measurements of my bathroom sink. There is a slight curve to the sink, yet it is a very standard rectangular under mount porcelain sink. It was on site and physically measured by Joe, however it was cut with a 1-1.5” overhang. Not the standard 1/8” overhang. Of course now the piece of granite had to be taken out and re-cut. We brought our sink in as soon as the instal techs left to show the production manager exactly what we wanted. He tried to explain his way out of it saying that because of our sink it had to be made that way, which of course is false. I’m glad I took pictures so I could show him in person how much of an overhang it was. He then said his guys said it was only 3/8” over, which the pictures proved otherwise. I sent them to him almost 3 hours earlier, but whatever. Fast forward to two days later, they were supposed to come between 8 and 9. They didn’t get to our unit until 9:25. The defensive tech didn’t reply good morning nor make eye contact. My fiancé was taking something off the front door and without even saying excuse me, he squeezes past and opens up the door, squeezing him between the door and wall. We dropped it. Then work is about to begin and the tech storms past us, slamming a power tool cord in the wood floor to cut something outside. My fiancé alerts him for the second time (I told him yesterday and he ignored me).. and the guy completely ignores him. My fiancé repeated himself and the tech says “that’s nice”. Mamdooh gets up and pulls the plug out and says “use the plug outside man, what’s with this attitude, we can go to anyplace else and get work done better than what we have been experiencing here”. The tech then loses it and calls him a “******* *******” while walking to plug the tool in the exterior outlet. We ignore it. He walks a few steps back towards us and says “******* *******”. Mamdooh and I both get up and Mamdooh proceeds to kick this Neanderthal out of our unit as I make sure to plant myself between the both of them just in case anything happened since I don’t know that tech from a hole in the wall. The nice tech finished the job on his own. Poor guy. The recut bathroom sink is much better than before, but it is cut uneven (wavy) on one side. I just wanted to be done with this company, so cutting my losses. The granite itself is gorgeous, but the workmanship, attention to detail, and service are below average. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere."

Installing a marble backsplash costs about $2,200 on average, ranging from $600 to $6,000, depending on the variety of marble and the labor costs to prep and install. Common types of marble used for backsplashes include:
Makrana: $12 per square foot
Pink: $25 per square foot
Carrara: $40 per square foot
Statuatrio: $50 per square foot
Cultured: $65 per square foot
Travertine: $75 per square foot
Danby: $80 per square foot
Calacatta: $180 per square foot
Marble countertops cost $3,000 on average, ranging from about $2,000 to $5,000, depending on the type of marble, square footage, location, and whether you use tiles or slabs. Another major cost factor to consider is the grading of the marble, which determines its quality level.
Use this grading system when selecting marble for countertops:
Grade A: Nearly perfect with subtle veining
Grade B: Minor flaws such as pits, fissures, or blotches
Grade C: Minor and major flaws like chipping and cracks requiring repair
Grade D: Significant damage needing repair, with dark veining and pronounced colors
Granite and marble compare well against each other in terms of price, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Deciding which one is better depends on your personal style and preference. Both materials resist damage like chips and cracks well. You should seal both material types against staining and etching, but they’re still susceptible if oil, wine, coffee, tomato sauce, or juice are left on the countertop long enough. As material and installation costs range similarly, the deciding factor is your budget, design, and preferences.
Installing granite kitchen countertops costs about $3,250, ranging from $2,000 to $4,000, depending on the quantity and quality of the granite, use of granite tile or granite slabs, the type of granite, and its color and texture. Varieties of granite include:
Alaska white: $35 per square foot
Ubatuba: $30–$60 per square foot
Silver cloud: $35–$40 per square foot
Absolute black: $45–$60 per square foot
Black galaxy: $50–$70 per square foot
Blue Louise: $70–$100 per square foot
Crema Bordeaux: $80 per square foot
Solarius: $60 per square foot
Overall, granite tends to cost more than marble. Prices for each material will fluctuate depending on the source of the stone, your location, shipping costs, and the thickness of the material. Labor to install marble or granite countertops typically ranges from $35 to $45 per hour. Granite and marble tile and slab costs compare as follows:
Marble tile: $7–$10
Granite tile: $5–$15
Marble slab: $25–$60
Granite slab: $50–$100
