We were very pleased with the information and pricing Richard provided on our first visit to the yard. (We had been given their name as a referral from a couple who had remodeled their kitchen and were ecstatic about the results. ) After 2 or 3 visits, we selected the granite, discussed many options with both Richard and Steve and made the decision to move forward. Within a short time after the kitchen construction was completed, we scheduled the installation of the granite. After the granite was installed, they came back at our request and did some more polishing of the curved corners and the barely visible (but necessary seam!). It looks terrific. I have recommended Rock-It to several people and we would use them again!. I believe their honesty, quick response to customers and quality workmanship is admirable in this industry. We would gladly use them again. read more

Great company to work with. One stop shopping. I'm so happy with the granite they installed in my kitchen. I highly recommend this company. A+ job from start to finish. read more

Our cabinet refinisher recommended Rock-It. After checking the Yelp reviews, we drove over. Within an hour, Steve helped us pick our leathered marble slab and Blanco kitchen sink, had the contract completed and our home scheduled. They installed the lovely counter within 9 days of removing the old tile. We love it! read more

I found Rock-It Surfaces through a Google search and learned a lot about quality issues and other things to consider from their website. When I visited the slab yard, I found 3 slabs that would work, and the owner gave me a sample of each to take home. One of them looked great with my existing flooring. The process went exactly as described on the website. Installation took a few hours. The granite is dark, and the day after installation I noticed that the seams dried white instead of black, and the installer came back that afternoon to fix it. Now I need to stand right over the seam to find it. I love my countertops and for future remodels I will return to Rock-It Surfaces. read more

After a kitchen flood our granite was destroyed by a builders reckless remediation company. I was in search of a fabrication company. I had been all over So Cal and had still not found a shop that I felt comfortable with. Tons of companies that just sell granite but none that we're all in one. After seeing this company from the 78 freeway I decided to stop in. Steve the owner was able to give me a price sheet for his current inventory. I was able to find exactly what we were looking for and know exactly what I would pay. I had researched the 1 1/4" granite and really liked the look more than the California 3/4 laminated look. They just so happen to be experts in that and I think it makes a dramatic improvement over the everyday granite look. Steve, Richard and Randy were all extremely kind and professional. They were extremely quick and everything from start to finish was spot on.... Richard even had to go back to the shop to machine something that I had made an error on measuring and came all the way back and stayed late to finish the install. Superior customer service in my book. You can't explain all the little details that make them, IMO, the best in San Diego. You can't go wrong with Rock It! read more

I visited 38 different stores before I visited Steve at Rock-it. He was the first knowledgeable person I found. He answered all my questions. We bought our quartzite counters from him. the install was fast and the quality is great. I highly recommend Steve and his Rock-it team for all your natural stone needs. read more

We just had our old tile counter tops in our kitchen replaced with granite and are so happy with the work! These people were professional, courteous and very helpful trying to meet our needs and budget. I highly recommend this company and would use them again in the future! read more

Our experience with Rock-It has been amazing. I can't say enough good things about this company. They explain everything, great installation, take pride in their work. They buy the slab, fabricate it and install it. From start to finish it was an excellent experience. read more

I just wanted to give some feedback on our experience at Rock-It a couple months ago.  I called ahead to let them know we had been referred and we would be coming.  When we arrived only Steve was there and I have to say I have never in my life had such rude service.  We found a Costa Esmerelda granite that we thought might work and I asked him if it came leathered or could be leathered and his response was "that would be very expensive."  Now I have asked around a bunch about it and everyone seems to quote between 200 and 300 for leathering, which I would not consider expensive.   After that we asked about a the Costa Esm slab they had and explained what were were trying to accomplish. We gave him the measurements and he proceeded to measure out one of the 4 pieces of the granite we liked.  The smallest one was just under the size we needed and he said "sorry, that one won't work for you."  Seemed strange that he did not measure one of the other 2 larger slabs which clearly would fit (and then some). So, I asked why we couldn't get one of the larger ones, and he said that he would not be able to sell off the amount that got trimmed so we couldn't have it.  So, we asked for the price of the whole slab, understanding that we would be wasting some of it, and he just said we could not do that because he could then not sell the rest (3 whole more slabs) for a kitchen.  I was fed up and just left, but my husband tried to understand the process and he could not rationalize to us why we would not be able to purchase a larger size and just not use all of it.   Bottom line, he was so unbelievably rude that I wanted you to warn customers before going there.  I can't believe they stay in business with that kind of service.  Anyway, we went to Brazilian Exotic marble near by at and found an awesome selection.  Simon at Brazilian was super nice and helpful.  go there first! read more

Had a particular slab of granite that I absolutely loved for a pretty high end technical job, but wasn't willing to sell it without doing the install. Pretty horrible businessman as I would have been willing to pay well over his profit line but Steve didn't even bother negotiating. Business must be that good. Check out Granix and hire an quality craftsman, not this group of arrogant "my way or the highway" shop owners. read more

From start to finish, working with these gentlemen was flawless. Their professionalism and work ethic are a breath of fresh air. We renovated our kitchen this winter and while they were not the most economical choice, the quality of our countertops, the workmanship and delivery promises could not have been better. It was worth every penny!! There were no issues. If you are more interested in quality workmanship, unrivaled product and honest communication then Rock-it is the place for you! Thanks guys for a beautiful job well done! read more

Can't say enough good things about this company. We were impressed right away when Steve was able to give us an estimate based on our rough sketch and then printed out pricing for all available slabs so we could readily see the options for our budget. We went back a couple of times before making a decision and Steve patiently answered all our questions and addressed any concerns. Randy came out to measure using very sophisticated state-of-the-art equipment and within a couple of days we were shown two options for layout of the slabs based on our kitchen design. At the last minute we decided to go with a slightly larger top for the island and, again, no problem. Richard explained the need for additional supports and immediately sent a revised estimate so we had no delay. The installation crew, led by Richard, was very professional and friendly and did an amazing job. We chose the Fantasy Macaubus which has a bit of movement to it but the pattern matches up beautifully and the corner seam is almost invisible. The guy who installed our appliances couldn't believe the workmanship from Rock-It and he sees a lot of kitchens. He even called us the following day to get the contact info for Rock-it to pass along to one of his customers. This is a great company to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend them. read more

The workmanship and professionalism was beyond my expectation. They were installed before the expected time. You can tell the quality of a company when you have problems and they get resolved quickly, completely, and you end up with a product that is better than you hoped for. But, the most important thing it that they are more beautiful than expected. I couldn't be happier with the results!! read more

I had Rock-It Surfaces Inc install my granite counter top a little over a year ago and they did a beautiful job. The granite was beautiful and they cut it well and installed the new sink with correct measurements. I am still very happy with all and all looks great. I will be using them again in the near future as I redo bathrooms and will need new counter tops in bathrooms. The granite they use is very thick and not cheap like some competitors. read more

They did a beautiful job. I love the granite! They took our tile sample and went through all the granite they had to find the perfect match. Everything went smoothly with the installation too. read more

Rock-it Surfaces did a fantastic job for us. They were a pleasure to work with and I can highly recommend them.

I have used Rock-It twice; once for a bathroom vanity, and most recently for an entire kitchen remodel along with an entertainment center piece in the brushed finish. The process was easy, the time from measure to install quick, and the finished product is simply exceptional! Rock-It is above and beyond in their service and quality, from start to finish. They provide photos of the available slabs in your selection, and give options for your layout so you can choose the appearance of the finished product. We are beyond thrilled with the finished product of our kitchen and entertainment area and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone, as well as use them again when we are ready for more granite! read more

Found a great slab at Rock-it last Fall. Although a 3 cm slab is more expensive. I was really impressed with how easy and straightforward the quote and purchase process was. Next came measurement and design discussions. The owner (sorry I can't remember his name) really listened to my wants when it came to making changes to the draft of the granite. Note: He sends you a picture before they cut the slab. His designed made the seam almost invisible and enhanced the final look of the peninsula helping to make my design come to life. I bought about 40 sqft. really got what I wanted at the right price and his recommendation on the edging was spot on. The delivery was on time, straightforward, and his team worked diligently ensuring the grant was laser leveled and installed the under-rnount sink and faucet to ensure it all fit perfectly. Offered tips on care and were very personable. I figured I would wait to review in case anything went wrong, so here I am 6 months in and I am still very happy with the granite. Thank you to the team at Rock-it for their professionalism. Sincerely, Kristie Posted this on yahoo as well. ;) read more

We are thrilled with the new countertops Rock-It fabricated and installed. We visited several stone yards throughout SD county but we really loved the honed fantasy brown marble we found at Rock-It. They were incredibly thorough in measuring our kitchen and cutting the stone - the fit is perfect and the seams are practically invisible. The installation was also flawless: super clean, expertly leveled, not a smudge left behind. Rock-It gets our highest recommendation - we will definitely be repeat customers for our upcoming bathroom remodel. read more

After doing an absurd amount of research and visiting every place under the sun I decided to go with these guys. Very glad I did - the 3CM product they had is definitely superior. They worked with us on selecting materials, were patient, and made some suggestions that we ended up going with - the kitchen is absolutely beautiful now and the team that installed it was excellent. read more

We tried walking into Stone Systems (that was a mess -- no prices since it's wholesale, so what's the point) and we were starting from scratch. We found Rock-It. Wow. If you want time saved, they do everything. They converted my napkin sketch into a professional drawing fast, looked at the photos on my phone of the kitchen, and we knew quickly a great estimate and approach. Everything is priced so you know what's going on. We chose the buffed dolomite marble that they have as an example counter, and it's incredible. Their digital process let's you see exactly how things will line up: the seams are hard to see, and these are complicated patterns. In addition, I asked if he could rush it, and he had an opening in two days -- just enough to clear out the kitchen. We only lost the use of our kitchen for 48 hours for a full remodel. Price was totally fair and upfront. Very grateful, and very fast. Oh, by the way, if you think the fact they Rock-It uses thick slabs isn't a big deal, think again. The counters look so much better than friends' remodels where they use much thinner-cut slabs. Upfront pricing, super professional, digital cutting, and amazing (thick) slabs. read more

We had a very positive experience with Rock it when we recently remodeled our kitchen and changed out the old white ceramic tile counter top with a gorgeous granite. The owners, brothers Nenzel helped us out with the selection of the granite they stock on premises, without any kind of sale pressure. Their estimate was fair and allowed for revisions upon precise measurements. They allow 3% off if paid by check and after a small down payment one pays the rest based on the job progress. The work was done on schedule, as promised, the final bill was lower than the original estimate and the quality of the work great. The work crew (Randy, Pat, Rafael and young US Marine Brandon) was very professional and mindful of my wife's requirements to keep everything clean and vacuumed at the end of each stage. Great company, they do it all on their shop: layout, cutting, finishing read more

We used Rock It for our kitchen, hall and 2 bathrooms and couldn't be happier with their work. After looking at many granite places we chose Rock It for several reasons. We really like the look of the 3cm granite, which is all they sell, vs the 2cm that everyone else sells.The thicker granite looks really nice around the sink openings. We also liked the fact that they handled everything- from picking and fabricating the slab in their yard, to tear out, measuring, installing and finally having a great tiler to do the back splash. They completed the job quickly in the time frame they said they would and didn't make nearly the mess I was expecting. We would definitely hire Steve and Richard again. read more

We've been wanting to update our kitchen ever since buying our home 5 years ago. It still had the dated 4" square tile counter tops from the 80's. With that said, we started the granite search. We swung by one place in San Marcos and checked out their granite. We really had no help at all. I had a lot of questions but they seemed too preoccupied to take a moment and really help out. The other issue was that they only sold the granite. You had to purchase the granite, then find a fabricator. We left and were driving down the 78 when we saw Rock-It just off the freeway. What caught our eyes was the sign said something about not only having the granite, they were also the fabricator! We stopped by and were met by Richard and Steven who were extremely helpful. I had done a rough drawing with measurements of our counter top and they quickly had an approximate square footage for us. With that in mind, were were able to sort through their granite knowing approximately what the cost would be. They told us that once they got accurate measurements for the template, they would have everything completed within 7 business days. They stood true to their word measuring the granite on a Friday and doing the install the following Friday. We couldn't be happier with the entire process... 10% down to hold the granite. 40% at the time they measure the template. The remaining 50% when the job is completed. We still have work ahead of us... backsplash, appliances, flooring etc, but we're off to a great start! Richard and Steven are extremely helpful with all phases of the process. Randy was the person who measured for the template and he was extremely helpful also! Everything was so easy and painless that we'll always highly recommend Rock-It to anyone we know thinking of putting granite in their home! read more

We purchased Dolomite/Soapstone, from "Rock - It" for our kitchen counter and we appreciated that we received accurate information about the different kinds of stone from Steve Nenzel. We researched the information about the stone we chose, to check Steve's information, and Steve was completely accurate.  We also very much appreciated the excellent service from Randy who came to our home and so and carefully and accurately measured our counter tops for a good fit.  We initially had problems with counter tops that were not level, so Randy advised us regarding how to correct that problem. The installers, Pat and his partner were incredible. They were not rushed but took all the time necessary to do a great job. Pat came to our home twice, without being asked by us, just to be sure that we had we had the best job of disguising the joint lines. We love our new counter tops and the look and feel of the soapstone under our hands. read more

I went to Rock-it to look for granite for my kitchen counters and was greeted (if you can call it that) by the President - the man in the video on their website. He never introduced himself, never shook my hand, just led me into his office and asked to see my kitchen diagram. After working up some numbers on his computer he spit out an estimate and explained the details of it. Then he sent me off to look at the granite in the yard. The only excitement I got from him was when I asked about granite radiation. That prompted a rousing sermon on how potatoes and chairs have more radon than granite. When he finally quieted down, I asked him about the "sale" granite and he pointed me in the direction of the granite yard and told me it was "out there". He never offered to tour the granite with me. He seemed almost anxious to get rid of me. I never did see the sale granite in the yard. I walked around by myself and had no clue as to what I was looking at or what the cost was. I left feeling extremely dissatisfied. I can't believe that guy is the President! I ended up going with Capri Stone and Alan treated me like I was his dear friend. It was a night and day difference to the way I was treated at Rock-it and I ended up getting beautiful granite, installed expertly, by a man I now call "friend". Too bad - so sad - Rock-it. You should treat people with a little respect. (PS - I wanted to give them no stars but yelp wouldn't let me) read more

We stopped in the store and meet with Steve, he did the make up for my kitchen. As it was 1st week of Dec, Steve explained that he was closing down his machines the last week of Dec, but would have our counter tops cut and ready for install prior to the new year. The day prior to what we were told would be the install date, I called to check on my counters, Steve told me I had the wrong date and they would not be installing until AFTER the first week of Jan. (Oh, yes we had tore the kitchen apart based on his dates) We talked about the sink we wanted / ordered, he told me I ordered another one and he would need to reorder and express at my cost the correct sink. The only thing positive about this job were the installers, they did a great job fixing the mistakes made in the measurement process as they worked. Knowing what I know now, I would not recommend Rock-it to friends. It's funny, I posted a similar comment on their website and was deleted rather quickly. read more

What a fantastic experience all around. From the initial (competitive) quoting process and down-select, to the final installation, it has been a great experience. A wonderful selection of natural stone as well as man-made product. I also liked the fact that they work with 3cm granite. After four months and a few design iterations, we went back for the real deal. By that time, the inventory had changed somewhat and we were not seeing exactly what we wanted. After some looking around, we located a few slabs in Orange County and they quickly had them brought in-house. Being that this is a long term commitment, we were pretty picky, and Rock-It was very helpful and patient. They were even able to refinish the slabs for the particular finish we wanted. The turn-around time was quicker than quoted and the installation Team was excellent; clean and professional. And I even got a follow-up call the next day asking how everything was and if we were happy with the results. The finished product turned out better than expected. I can't say enough about how well Rock-it performed. I recommend them without hesitation. Definitely a class act. read more

We went and visited Rock-It this past Saturday and were greeted by Richard as soon as we got in the door. He said that he would be right with us. After Richard was done with the previous customer he asked how he could help. We already had a layout plan of our kitchen counters so we went into his office and within a few minutes he had an approximate price for us. He said that it would be a little on the high side but having it that way there wouldn't be any surprises later. This was very refreshing to us as generally companies give you a low ball price and add charges later. We really appreciated his knowledge and his insight into the product that we were looking at. The price sheet that he printed out was very helpful with regards to picking out granite. His brother Steve took us out to the slab yard and was very helpful as well. We picked out a couple color possibilities and most likely be back to purchase very soon. read more

This is one of the best vendors we've ever experienced in terms of quality of product, expert knowledge and incredible professionalism. We recently renovated an older home we purchased a few months ago. Steven, Richard and their staff went far above and beyond regarding picking the right products for our needs (kitchen, bathroom countertops and fireplace surround), advising us on best process/practices and even helping with design. When on site, Richard and staff also walked us through coordinating their work with other vendors working on site. They all made every effort to assure everything was perfect and truly succeeded! All our visitors cannot believe how beautiful our counters and surround look. We're doing our best to get the word out about this company because its often difficult to find classic artisans of this calibre who have top quality products at an affordable price. We highly recommend them and will use them for all future granite/stone solutions. George & Deb C read more
