Crafted Stone LLC.

Countertops are the core of the work. Crafted Stone advertises quartz countertop installation, granite tops and solid surface countertops, along with tile or stone backsplashes to finish the wall behind them. Shower benches round out the list, which brings the bathroom into the picture as well as the kitchen. The jobs are residential, and the business draws a steady flow of homeowners from around Post Falls and Coeur d'Alene. It offers what it calls a 100% satisfaction guarantee; that is the company's own claim. This is a fit for a kitchen or bathroom remodel where the stone surface is the main event and the cutting and fit need to be exact. It's a surface specialist, not a builder, so framing, structural changes or a large commercial project belong with a different kind of contractor. A homeowner redoing cabinets or moving walls will usually line that work up first and bring the stone in once the base is set. Before a countertop job starts, ask who handles the template and when, and whether the old tops come out as part of the price or as a separate task. Confirm sink, faucet and cooktop cutouts against the actual fixtures, since swapping a sink later can mean a new cut. Ask how dust is controlled if any cutting or polishing happens in the house, and what cleanup looks like at the end. Get change orders in writing, especially if a backsplash or edge profile changes midway. Finally, ask what any guarantee covers: seams, chips, sealing and how long it lasts.
