Selecting Your Material
Some granite companies choose to buy stone in bulk and stock a limited quantity at their facilities to be used for making countertops and other stone projects. Typically this selection is limited to between 50 and 100 different materials. Dominion Granite and Marble recognizes that purchasing natural stone is a unique investment that will last a lifetimeā¦or until you sell your home. We will never limit our client's selections to stones that have higher profit margins, that are reusable from project to project, nor will a selection be made from a sample. Stone samples usually won't be from the same lot as the material that will eventually be installed and can give a false representation of the overall look of a full size slab. For this reason, we send our client's to stone importers. Our approved importers provide material for the bulk of the granite companies in the area and only stock the finest material available from international sources. Their selections are virtually limitless, with each location carrying hundreds of different colors and types of material in large warehouses. Our clients walk through these facilities accompanied by a staff member who can help answer any questions. When a material catches your eye, and there will be many that do, a reservation can be made for the exact slabs that are viewed with no obligation. That importer will send us a reservation sheet documenting the selection. When a project is ready, the exact stone slabs that were selected will be transported to our facility in Ashburn Virginia. In addition to individual slab selection, we also offer a service which a client can select the exact placement of every single piece of the project on each selected slab with the assistance of our staff.
This higher level of custom services allows our clients the opportunity to design a project that is as
unique as they are.
