Marco and the Fox Marble team has done an incredible job with our recent home remodel project…read more We chose Fox Marble to install a beautiful slab of Calacatta Monet Italian marble hand selected by us for our master bathroom remodel project. This stunning slab was used for our vanities, steam shower, and niche shelves. Marco and his team took the time to measure our surfaces perfectly and install to create a gorgeously finished product. We had a minor mistake on the vanity edge measurements, but Fox Marble took the time to make this right, and Marco hand delivered this to us. This team is super busy and they do a professional job, but by taking the time to make sure we were satisfied and had the highest quality experience is next level. We are so thrilled by the final product and the commitment this company has to making sure we were happy - truly above and beyond!

After purchasing the slab we have been waiting for almost 2 months, been stood up without communication 5 TIMES by Stone Empire on dates for fabrication and install; and still no installation. Been told they will show up only to have no one be there and no one tell me they won't show up. Terrible communication, terrible customer service. This is not a way to do business, and I caution all before proceeding with them for your project.

I wish I had never used them... Original slab was lost or resold (whether this was the fault of Tez…read moreMarble - the seller of the quartzite slab or the fabricator - Stone Empire Fabrication - remains unknown). The original 2wk estimate for fabrication and installation is now at over 7wks and still not done. The originally planned installation date was a no show with no call or notice. Instead Stone Empire installers came the next day without scheduling it with me, never asking if I would be on site and available. I only knew they were coming because I had called them when they didn't show up and was told I was never scheduled for the date and that they would be out the next day. During the installation they removed an upper cabinet to make it easier to fit the countertop. This was not needed but it did make it easier to place. My complaint is that they didn't even try to rehang the cabinet after the countertop was in and everyone left except for 1 person who stayed behind to drill the sink faucet holes. This will cost me another day of both my contractor's and my time. My next complaint, the electrical outlet holes do not line up and need more grinding and adjustment. These outlets were in place before they came out for measurements to create the template. The electrical outlets are standard sized, nothing tricky. Once the quartzite was installed and I noticed the mistake, they told me they could not fix the it until after the glue dries since since grinding to fix the problem would would make too much dust which wouldn't be good for the wet glue. This means the extra grinding needed to fix the outlets has to wait and will involve another day of my time. Whether it was calling them to track my lost slab, to confirm installation dates, or the multiple calls regarding the instillation issues; contacting them has been like pulling teeth.... They don't call back despite claiming they will, they do not call or email updates, warnings for delays or issues. The front office, the fabrication team, and install team seem to have no communication with each other and just pass the buck along with no solutions or effort to correct things. In short - DO NOT USE STONE EMPIRE FABRICATION. Tez Marble, the store selling my quartzite has a great selection from which to choose. But between either Tez or Stone Empire losing my original slab and substituting a different one, and all the problems that followed; I recommend choosing a more reliable fabricator and tracking the sales person as they label your slab sold!

Adam is very knowledgeable and was very helpful in educating and guiding us through the selection process. We chose Neolith Calcutta Ultra Soft for its natural beauty, strength, and easy maintenance. He connected us with FM Distributing. They are truly masters in their measurements, fabrication and installation. We have a garden window that extends out beyond the kitchen sink. They were able to install the Neolith in one piece so the countertop extends from the sink and cabinet counter into the window floor without a step or seam which we wanted. All joints and edges are smooth and the backsplash patterns match up with the countertop patterns beautifully. We are so pleased with Adam and the team at FM. They were always professional, courteous, responsive, on time and highly skilled. In the end, the best part of the entire project was the Neolith countertop and backsplash. No problems, no delays, no frustration. Just perfect.
