Apologies as this review is long overdue. If you are just here wondering if you should use and…read moretrust Luxurious Stone, then 10000% yes. Based on my experience, you will not be disappointed. If you want to hear about the overall experience and level of service, then read on... I started off my search by messaging multiple people/companies about countertop fabrication and installation. Some messaged me back, some gave very minimal responses, some places had high prices, some didn't have time for all of my questions. This is the first time I've done any countertop work and I did a lot of research on many different places and scoured the Hayward/San Leandro area and beyond to look at different countertops, designs, etc. Alvaro always responded to all my messages and emails. Every single time. Sometimes my messages would be weeks apart. When I finally made my decision to go with him, it was well over a month from when I first contacted him. He stuck with me all along the way and that left an impression on me, especially in this type of business. I had a few strange questions about different options and configurations of the counters and he was always responsive with open and honest opinions and information. Once I finally picked out my material, he met me at the shop where I purchased the counter to check out the material and he helped me make sure we were getting a good piece that wasn't too warped. All of this helped reassure me that he approved of my selection and that his trained eye could notice things that I wouldn't be able to notice on my own. He picked up the slab with his truck and took it off to fabricate and cut. He showed up a few days later for the install and it was done in no time. Oh, I forgot to mention that he stopped by and did a consultation and looked everything over and provided a ton of really helpful advice and analysis of the job, how he would suggest doing it, what he wouldn't suggest etc. He also brought some samples with him for me to check out and offered a great price on countertops that he already had on hand. The entire experience is everything that you would hope for in a countertop install. I will recommend him to anyone that need any countertop work. The pricing was some of the best I could find, the work was high quality (still looking great and holding up 7 months in) and Alvaro was a pleasure to work with. Thank you very much for everything!

I like that his focus is on fabrication and not on material sales. There is such a huge selection of stone out there I don't know why anyone would want to limit their choices by going with an all in one shop.

Dream Outdoor Barbecue Island Thanks to Plamar USA…read more We recently had Plamar USA install countertops for our outdoor barbecue area, and the results were absolutely amazing. From start to finish, their team was incredibly helpful, professional, and detail-oriented. This is the third job they have done for family and we are happy every time. The installers were not only skilled but also very personable--more like partners in the project than just workers. They took the time to understand what we wanted and made sure every detail was perfect. Their craftsmanship and experience really showed in the flawless finish and the way everything came together seamlessly. What impressed us most was their dedication to making our vision a reality. They were accommodating, patient, and truly committed to delivering a high-quality result. Thanks to their hard work, our barbecue island has become the dream space we've always wanted, and it's something our family will enjoy for many years to come. If you're looking for stone or granite installation, I highly recommend Plamar USA. Feel free to reach out if you have any real-world questions--I'd be happy to share more about our experience. Thank you again to the entire Plamar USA team!

This was the third project they have completed for us, and they continue to deliver outstanding craftsmanship, professionalism, and customer service every single time. For this remodel, they fabricated and installed beautiful countertops throughout our home, including our kitchen and multiple bathrooms. The quality of their work is exceptional. Every seam, edge, and finish is flawless, and the attention to detail is second to none. The finished product completely transformed our home. A special thank you goes to Aldrin, who is absolutely incredible. He is committed to making sure every project is completed perfectly and on time, no matter what it takes. During our remodel, at the last minute we added the powder room we needed within 48 hours. Even though they were already extremely busy, Aldrin immediately found time to fabricate the countertop and found someone to remove the old countertop without breaking the existing wall to wall mirror, and install the new countertop so our project stayed on schedule. That kind of responsiveness, problem-solving, and dedication is incredibly rare. They consistently put their customers first. Their pricing is very reasonable, they communicate exceptionally well, they show up when they say they will, and they consistently deliver exactly what they promise. After three projects together, they have earned our complete confidence and trust. If you're looking for beautiful countertops and a company that truly stands behind its work, Plamar Fabrication is the team to call. They never disappoint, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. The high standard that Aldrin and his team have set make it impossible to consider someone else.

We hired a general contractor and agreed to use all of their selected subcontractors except for a small subset we insisted on selecting ourselves, including Custom Stone. Custom Stone came highly recommended by multiple stone suppliers and other fabricators in the Bay Area. The scope of our stone installation was large and it was critically important that we select a fabricator who had experience with higher-end homes and highest-quality installations. Our scope included a master bathroom consisting of a double vanity, an 8' tall all-slab master shower and an undermounted roman master bathtub; a large kitchen with multiple stone surfaces including a 12' x 9' island; two guest bathrooms with marble slab vanities; a guest bathroom all-slab shower; an all-slab marble surround and hearth for a 42" fireplace; a custom designed and constructed semi-precious slab backlit bar; and an outdoor BBQ counter with Neolith. At the outset of the project, Custom Stone joined us during trips to various stone yards, advised us on the considerations of different materials, and helped us to obtain the most competitive pricing with their relationships. During the fabrication process, Custom Stone sent us multiple detailed design mock-ups and welcomed us to participate in the process. They recently invested in state-of-the-art fabrication equipment and technology that enables Contractors and Owners to see exactly what output they can expect, and to efficiently and flexibly provide input into the design and configuration decisions. For example, their new 3-D Laser measuring system and real-time digital vein-matching software allowed us to approve our slab layout before the fabrication started. Custom Stone's CNC waterjet cutting machine enabled exceptionally precise cuts on the material that we didn't find possible with other fabrication firms, allowing Custom Stone to produce the highest-quality end products for our project. Custom Stone's work is uncontestably one of the highlights of the new home and has significantly enhanced its aesthetic and value. We cannot speak highly enough of their work and the process of working with them. They worked and collaborated well with other trades/subcontractors, offered up creative solutions and demonstrated an unwavering commitment to quality. When we were selecting our stone subcontractor, we considered five (5) criteria in the following stack-ranked order: (1) precision in design and craftsmanship, and attention to detail; (2) knowledge of products/materials; (3) design skill in assembling pieces to create contiguous and less visible seams; (4) use of current technology and tools; and (5) reliable and on schedule. Custom Stone achieved the highest marks across all five criteria. We would certainly recommend and hire them again for whatever scope project we consider in the future.

Rann and his team did an excellent job replacing some of our kitchen and bathroom countertops. The new slabs completely transformed and brightened our spaces-- it almost looks like we did a full renovation. Our project was definitely not an easy job with quite a few unforeseen issues cropping up with our house, but Rann and team dealt with them quickly and professionally. The excellent quality of workmanship and the creative advice given by Rann on design has resulted in a stunning final result! The edges and seams were so well done - everything looks seamlessly continuous like a single piece.

From start to finish, Rann was there every step of the way. As a custom contractor, I can't say enough good things about our experience. It was trouble free, on time and on budget. Rann communicated to us every step of the way so we always knew what was happening. I highly recommend Rann Valdez Stone to do your stone counter tops

Leo was very easy to communicate with and prompt with their quote. The breakdown: - 1 company was at $14.5K. - 2 companies were at $11-12K. - BAME was at $9K. We selected them to do the work and are happy with the job they did. Importantly, Leo is very detailed oriented and we were allowed to come in person to view the templates and approve of the graining. He spent quite a bit of time explaining the layout to us. There were only 2 minor issues: - A fabrication issue that left a small gap with the floor. This was an understandable mistake, because the floor was different heights, but I forgot to point this out. Unfortunately this could not be fixed because the stone was already cut. - Communication could have been better. Leo prefers text, but sometimes takes a while to respond. I think this is because he is very busy, but I think they would benefit from having an office assistant / scheduler.
