If you're shopping for stone countertops for an entire kitchen or other big project, there are a myriad of places you can go in the Baltimore-D.C. area to find the stone of your dreams.
But if you have a project where you need just a small piece (say for a 20"X30" vanity top), and you want something really special, good luck! Even the major stone dealers have primarily full slabs, and they will not cut off a small piece for you! (This is not a knock on those businesses, it's just the way the business operates.) Most places will have some "remnants" around, but there's a good chance that most of them will be fairly plain, or just not the piece of your dreams.
That is why, if you are looking for plenty of choices for your smaller project, you should not waste your time - you should go DIRECTLY to "Remnant Yard," which has an amazing selection of . . .stone remnants!!
This company is not a big operation, though they also do plenty of standard work. But their selection of stone remnants, which is mostly outside, is unbelievably diverse! Within a few minutes we found three different pieces we loved, and Mo (the owner) personally helped us choose the right one for us; he is very knowledgeable and VERY patient, and the piece we chose will knock the socks off everyone who uses our powder room.
Seriously, even if (like us) you're 45 minutes away from Beltsville, this is the place to go. read more
