COMMON QUESTIONS

Countertop FAQ — answers from the fabricator.

Straight answers from the fabricator. Anything else — call us, or send it with the quote form and we’ll answer on your project specifically.

Asked at the shop and the showroom, every week.

Are you the fabricator, or do you resell slabs?

We are the fabricator. CG Granite measures, cuts, finishes and installs your stone with our own shop and our own crews — we don’t hand your project to another company.

Can I start with rough measurements or a drawing?

Yes — that’s the fastest way to start, and it’s for your estimate only. Send approximate measurements, a hand sketch with dimensions, your cabinet layout, or photos of the space through the quote form. We never cut stone from a sketch: once you approve your quote, we come to your home and take the final measurements ourselves.

How do you take the final measurements?

After your quote is approved, we visit your home and template the job in person with a digital laser templating system — no physical templates. That laser file is what our shop fabricates from, so your counters land tight to walls, cabinets and appliances. The same laser file feeds our CNC cutting machine directly, so the stone is cut to the exact measurements we took in your home.

Which location should I call?

Call Racine at (262) 800-1105 for southeast Wisconsin and Gurnee at (224) 541-4078 for northern Illinois. Racine is our fabrication shop, with full slabs on site; Gurnee is our showroom, with samples on site and the same hours. Either team can start your project.

What custom details can you fabricate?

Waterfall islands and legs, mitered edges, custom edge profiles, full-height backsplashes and stone walls, precision sink and cooktop cutouts, and planned slab layouts that make the veining work with the room. Bring us the idea — if it can be built in stone, we’ll tell you how.

What materials can I compare?

Natural quartzite (including Taj Mahal), granite, quartz, marble and premium exotic stones such as Blue Roma, Iceberg, Crystallo and Aqua Bella — for kitchens, bathroom vanities, bar tops, fireplace and shower surrounds.

How do I get a quote?

Use the Get a Quote page or call either location. The more you can share up front — measurements or a cabinet layout, photos, your material ideas and your city — the faster and more accurate your quote will be.

Do your phone numbers accept text messages?

No — our phone numbers are voice lines. Please call us, visit us, or fill out the quote form and we’ll call you back.

Which areas do you serve?

All of southeastern Wisconsin and northeastern Illinois — including Milwaukee, Kenosha, Racine, Waukesha, Oak Creek, Waukegan, Libertyville, Lake Forest and the communities listed on our Locations page.
