I just moved to Spicewood and was driving by when I saw this business and stopped by to see what…read morethey might be able to help me with in my new home. At this time, I was looking to build a custom desk and I wanted a stone countertop. I was helped by Alejandra who showed me some remnants so I wouldn't have to purchase an entire slap. They had a large selection of remnants of some beautiful pieces to choose from. After a long search, I found a piece called Taj Mahal for my desktop. Fortunately, they were able to put me in touch with another company who made the base for my desk. Direct Natural Stones worked seamlessly with the other business and when the desk frame was ready. Direct Natural Stones fabricated the table top and the result is an amazing piece of art that is now my desk! I have other pieces of furniture I'm planning to have made and there is no question I will come back to Direct Natural Stones for all of my stone needs. Great products and incredible customer service!

I've been using another business in Spicewood for countertops but passed by this place recently and…read moredecided to give them a try. We were extending a bookcase and needed a remnant to try and match the countertop. We didn't need an exact match but something close enough. We stopped in and were able to check some of the remnants they had outside and as luck would have it, we found a piece almost identical to our original countertop. I contacted the business and James came out and we discussed the project. Later, he came out to see the project and another person came out to take the measurements. Throughout the entire process they were very easy to work with. EGW was very quick to have the pieces ready and were very accommodating waiting on the cabinet makers to finish their part of the job. Once the lower parts of the cabinets were installed, the people from EGW were at my house within a day or two to install. The installation was quick. The people who do the installation are very professional and clean. The bookshelves after the countertops and unless you look very closely, you cannot tell the difference from the remnant pieces and the original countertop. The are efficient, professional and reasonably priced. The other company I used was good but the people at Emerald Granite Works seem to care more about their work than the other business I used. We have other projects and will for sure use them again. Can't recommend them enough for any of your granite, countertop or tile needs.

We had a wonderful experience working with Lisa and James and the team at Emerald Design Showroom…read moreduring our recent kitchen remodel. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and an absolute pleasure to work with. My wife and I have built and remodeled more than a few homes in the last 40 years all around the country, and this company and their team are without a doubt amongst the best design and fabrication companies we have ever dealt with. Their attention to detail and customer care truly set them apart. We found a stunning marble slab at Architectural Surfaces, and the Emerald team helped us make the most of it by incorporating it into both our kitchen and guest powder room countertops. Everything turned out beautifully. One of the interesting highlights was being involved in the CAD drawing process--James made sure we had a say in how the veining was laid out, and the final result was exactly what we had envisioned. We couldn't be happier and would absolutely recommend without reservation anyone looking for an exceptional design and outcome to work with Lisa and the Emerald team.

I am also so happy they referred us to Edgar and his crew, who did all the installation plus handled pick up and delivery to our home. Edgar was so fast to come out and gave a very reasonable bid for the installation work. He and his crew were flexible on timing, respectful of our home, and did a beautiful job with installation. We would absolutely recommend Edgar and hope to work with him and The Tile Guy again.

What a really great find! My wife found them on Facebook…read more Decided to scope them out. They are an unexpectedly fine find! We have been back to them twice since learning about them a week ago. They are a new business having just started this past March. Marcos has been working with us and we can't say enough good things about him. His smile, pleasantness, and desire to be sure you know what you're getting are ideal customer service attributes. I'd asked them if they were on Yelp because I wanted to share how much we really like this company and their service. He said they'd not had anything set up, yet. I'm glad they now do, so I can rate them 5+ stars. Thank you Tejano Masonry. We'll be back again, (next week)

So I started out at home depot and fell in love with a granite sample there and got a quote at the help desk. The experience was less than stellar so I called around a few shops. Austin Granite Direct informed me that they had the same slab at pretty much the same price, but a centimeter thicker than HD! They came out, measured, and had a quote before HD even REACHED out to schedule the measure. I went to the show room to confirm the slab I wanted and they had my scheduled for install a week later. Luis came and did a final measure, took my sink and off he went. A week after the install I think one of my other contractors made a huge scratch on the counter top. Not knowing what to do or how to fix it, I called AGD for advice. They sent Luis out the next day to assess and he actually removed to scratch for me at no cost! When I'm ready to renovate the bathrooms I know who my first call will be to!

I called her several times asking for different options (installing over existing 27 yr old wood flooring, tearing out wood flooring, and dustless option) and each time she sent out revised estimate via email. We decided to proceed and after ordering materials gave us a date for early Sept. A crew, headed up by Uriel, arrived first day at 8:30 AM and worked till 6PM. Highest work ethic I've seen/experienced in a long time! Ripped out old wood flooring and perfect install from Tues-Thurs. Christian had follow up carpet stretch in 2 rooms meeting new flooring, and painters next day to paint shoe molding and job completed by Sat.AM. Never saw any of workers looking at their cell phones while working!!! Beautiful job from start to finish and highly recommend!

This store is a bit hard to spot, being behind this small coffee shop and food truck area. There is also a small store near it. So the parking is very limited here.

They even reclaimed the floors from a gym and the shelves from a library for sale. For what he was selling the prices are very fair. We didn't end up getting anything but may come back in the future.

You need to have the equipment to mill your own lumber for your needs: planer, jointer, etc. The staff here is fantastic and the selection is over the top. You need to know how to go thru their process as it is not intuitive. If you want to be seen as a "local", here's what you need to know. Go to the front desk and tell them what kind of lumber you need. They will make an estimate of board feet, but it doesn't matter. Then they will give you a pick ticket. Go into the warehouse and find someone to help. They are all great. They will get a forklift and bring out the wood type you want. If you don't have a tape measure (bring one to look like you know what you are doing), they have plenty. They sort thru the stacks to the sizes you want. Then pick thru to find that beautiful piece at the sizes you want. Then the warehouse guy writes the board feet on the pick ticket. Back to the front and wait in line at the counter again. Usually not a long deal unless the person in front of you gets to be too chatty. They ring you up and you pay. Finally, get in your truck and go to the back of the warehouse and they may or may not help you load it. If it is small and you can't get someone to give you eye contact, just load it up yourself.
