I cannot write enough wonderful things about this fantastic company. My experience with everyone working here was excellent. Professional, courteous, fair, friendly and mostly, they did a superb job in my kitchen!! New to the west coast, and new home homeowners, we had to start from scratch with finding contractors to update our home. We started with the kitchen, and I was referred to several granite fabricators by Bedrosians, where we were choosing our granite. I called A Touch of Stone, and spoke with Mary, who was extremely professional, warm and explained the whole process of choosing the stone, template and layout process. She even emailed me a summary sheet of the entire process. I had a quote within two days. I did my due diligence and got about 5 other quotes. Every other contractor I communicated with was no where nearly as professional and they were either at the same coast or higher than A Touch of Stone. It was clear that going with Touch was the best choice. There was some hold up with my granite selection at Bedrosians, and because the owner of A Touch of Stone (Tony) has such a great reputation, he pulled some strings and helped speed up the time frame in which my granite was delivered. (this was huge for me as our kitchen was already demoed and we had plywood for countertops. Very difficult- esp with 2 young kids) I met Tony and Mary in person when I went to the shop for the layout process. (basically, laying out the template of the counters and backsplash on the slabs so you can choose exactly where you want particular veins and markings within your kitchen or bath) the first thing Tony suggested was to change my edging choice. He suggested a more upscale look (which I thought I couldn't afford) and told me it would cost the same as my original choice. I was thrilled. Tony took ample time with me to layout the counters and made sure I understood exactly what he was doing through the entire process. I also worked with two of his crew, Miguel and Adrian- great professionals who clearly take such pride in their work. They even left me a few extra pieces of granite which I can use for a hot plate or similar. I will definitely call A Touch of Stone when we do our bathrooms over. This company went above and beyond, and my kitchen looks fantastic!!! read more

Love this company. The granite fabrication and installation was perfect. A job well done. The owner Anthony Gil, was timely and true to his word. read more

A Touch of Stone measured, cut and installed my rather large kitchen counter area. After everything was beautifuly installed I noticed a small crack where the cutout for the stove had been made. I called Tony and he told me he could replace that whole section or fix so it would be barely visible. Tearing out almost twelve feet of counter would have been a horrible mess, so I chose the repair. The two workmen worked on it several hours, and the crack was still visible, maybe a little less. I told Tony that it was not perfect but OK, and he suggested a very small rebate and some extra trivets, which I agreed to. This was over three months ago. I called the office three times and was assured this would be taken care of right away. To date, I am still waiting for the trivets I can do without and my money which I could certainly use. It is beyond me why a company that does such excellent and very expensive work cannot keep a commitment the owner makes to a customer to rectify a problem. Maybe Tony will wake up after one more call! read more

They no showed 3 times in a row now to come measure and quote our countertops in laundry room. Very frustrating to set aside time to meet them 3 times now and they haven't shown up despite their receptionist making the appointments. We are looking for another company as A Touch of Stone is unreliable. read more

Talk with Tony for just 5 minutes and you'll see why he is so successful and continues to produce beautiful products which he treats as works of art. And I get the sense that he makes every customer feel like his most important. When it came time to have our template made, the technician was very detailed and explained every step and potential problem areas thoroughly. Then when we went to meet with Tony to place the template on the slabs, he knew almost immediately how to bring out the best display of the granite details. We moved the templates around a few times, but ended up right back where Tony first suggested. The installers arrived on time and did a great job. We couldn't be more pleased with our new counter top. It's the highlight of our new kitchen! read more

In early January, I had a quartz counter top and a Carrara marble island counter top installed by A touch of stone. Tony and his team did excellent work. My kitchen looks amazing. I found them reasonably priced and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them. read more

A Touch of Stone, was quietly recommended to us by a granite slab company, and I took that to be a good referral. The project was a kitchen island that I hand crafted myself, along with surrounding counters. The island was tricky because it is two levels, and naturally I wanted the best installation possible. We got three quotations, and each installer described to us how he would do the work. By far, the way that Tony described he would do the job was the most beautiful and the most technically difficult. For example, we wanted a pencil miter edge. Tony explained that he would cut the edge of the stone at a 45 degree angle and fold it over before grinding the edge with the pencil profile. The point of this approach is that the seam in the stone is hidden up at the top edge, and that the lines and texture of the stone continue from the surface down the edge making the countertop look like it was cut from a 2" thick slab. If you look at "normal" bullnose counter tops, you see that they have an obvious horizontal seam right through the middle of the edge. Of the other two granite installers who gave us quotes, one had never done this kind of edge, and the other said he had done it 2 times in his history. We would have never have even known this quality was possible without Tony teaching us. Tony also demonstrated his quality of work when it came time to put the templates of our counters onto the slabs we bought, and decide how to cut up the slabs. Each of our slabs had interesting grain, lines and patterns in them, and how you cut them determines where that grain and texture shows up on the counter. Tony was passionate about the beautiful sections of our slabs, and worked with us to make sure that the parts of the rock we found most beautiful ended up in the areas of our counters where they would be most dramatic and visible. He was artistic and insightful. I learned that when you join two pieces of granite in a counter, that the resulting seam can be substantially hidden if the two pieces of granite are carefully selected to have similar patterns and colors on their edges. I watched Tony and his cutter debating and moving templates around on slabs to get the best possible final effect for our counter. The execution and delivery was flawless so Tony gets 5 stars. Oh, and his price was good too. But what I am happiest about A Touch of Stone is what I didn't even know existed... that beautiful granite installation requires artistry, artistic judgment, and that there is a "hard way" to do the job that looks much better. I now notice granite countertops in a way I never have before, and I haven't yet seen an installation better than ours. read more

Our new counter-tops from A Touch of Stone look great. They did a very nice custom edge around an apron front sink (see pics). There were some issues with punctuality but these were quickly forgotten by the quality of work and willingness to serve us as customers. Would call again and recommend to friends. Thanks Tony! read more

Tony and Elaine are great. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Excellent work and they stand behind their product.

I got an estimate to have marble slabs installed/fabricated for my master bathroom shower. Included in the estimate was installing/fabricating a granite vanity top. The estimate was received at the end of April. The job was started the first week of June. First of all, this job took way too long! Tony, the owner of A Touch of Stone, would tell me that he would send someone out, and nobody would show up, nor would he call to let me know. The quality of work was also below par. They installed the marble in the shower unevenly on the top, they didn't finish out pieces around the shower, they made a huge mess in the bathroom and bedroom (without using drop cloths), they installed the vanity sinks incorrectly, and they damaged my bathroom walls 3 times (my contractor had to fix the walls and repaint them 3 times). This was the worst experience I have ever had with a company, and I remodeled my whole house (excluding my master bath) three years ago! A job that should have taken approximately a week to complete, took almost two months to complete! read more

A Touch of Stone installed our quartzite countertops, which started discoloring and staining within a year. They came out numerous times to troubleshoot the issue, with no success. We suspected it was an issue with the stone itself and not anything with installation. Nevertheless, Tony offered to fabricate a new countertop for us at no cost. Throughout the process, he continually said "I just want my customer to be happy." It is clear that he truly believes this and is dedicated to customer service! read more

My husband and I used A Touch of Stone for our kitchen counter-tops and were extremely impressed. From the beginning to the end, we had a great experience. The owner, Tony, is so nice, patient and dependable. He was always polite and eager to help, kept us updated on our project and made sure his guys were at our job site on time. Even more, Tony always made it a point to check in and ensure that we were happy. Tony and all is staff were a pleasure to work with and our counter-tops looked amazing. Remodeling can be very stressful but A Touch of Stone made this part of our job easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend Tony and all of his staff! read more

If I could give Tony a 6 star rating, I would have. Tony did a lot more than we had agreed on just to make me happy just because I just commented to him that his workers did not leave the site perfectly clean although I spent just 2 minutes cleaning up some dust. His workers did a great job installing our granite without any problems with installation. He installed full backspalsh instread of a 6" backsplash and still he charged me less than other contractors. His office assistance is a pleasure to talk to specially Mary that I would call her Auny Mary. I highly recommend touch of Stone. They have the skills to do it right and they have the integrity and generosity to keep you happy. Thank you for installing our beautiful granite. read more
