Ventura Stone

I’m a scientist, so I expect a fairly high level of accuracy and precision from contractors who work on my home. I started researching materials and contractors a year before beginning the renovation of a kitchen and two bathrooms. Roberto was very helpful and patient to answer all of my questions during that time. I chose Cambria Notting Hill quartz for the countertops. The kitchen was challenging; a structural beam ran through one set of cabinets which necessitated a 127 inch long slab of countertop to be fitted around it. Ivan precisely measured the project. I appreciated the opportunity to work with Mick to approve the layout of the design so the dark veining against the white background was used to my satisfaction. Mauricio and his crew did a masterful installation. They precisely notched and slipped the piece in around the beam thus avoiding a large seam at that juncture. The other pieces of countertop were also fabricated and installed beautifully. I would recommend Ventura Stone to anyone who is seeking a professional experience with their countertop projects.

Ventura stone is simply the best. Mick was super informative and knowledgeable. He paid attention to details that I didn’t know where even in play. The installers were amazing and were able to solve problems that arose with their professional experience. If you are looking for professional countertop sales and installation I recommend checking them out.

I had a fantastic experience with Ventura Stone.

TLDR: They offer very straightforward pricing with their one or two slab specials. They work with you and explain things well, I had specific desires for seam placement which required a crane lift and they were very accommodating to get me exactly what I wanted at a very good price ($7,099 for up to 65sf at the time I purchased).

I renovated my entire kitchen and this was the only portion of my project that I didn't do myself. I visited or got quotes from multiple competitors (Pacific, Coastal, Home Depot, Lowes, etc.as well as buy slabs from X and have Y do the fabrication). HD was the cheapest but their fabricator (BlockTops) insisted on excessive seams and their customer service team couldn't explain why and wouldn't accommodate my requests to remove them. Local shops charged too much ($10k+) and getting quotes seemed more complex than it needed to be just to get a quick price for comparison.

I visited Ventura Stone thinking that their Silestone specials were limited to only a few choices (Calacuta/Gold), but they were able to provide me the exact slab I wanted (Ethereal Glow, the most expensive tier at Lowes) under their tier 2 special pricing. I asked up front if seams could be limited and they agreed with my desired layout. Everything went smoothly from measurement, to templating to install.

The cherry on top was that during the install, the installer asked why I didn't get a quartz windowsill above my sink. I told him I didn't know it was an option. He called Mick, who said that they could do it at no extra charge. The next week they came out again and installed a new sill and addressed a few other minor concerns I had.

Like I mentioned, I did a ton of research and went to a lot of different countertop shops. Everything about Ventura Stone felt right from the moment I stepped in. The whole process was smooth, easy, and well communicated up front. They really treat their customers well and I would highly recommend them.
