How Do I Buy Granite Countertops?


With hundreds of color options, edge styles, and possible layouts, the world of granite countertops can be a confusing and overwhelming process, especially if it is your first time building/remodeling. Not to worry though, we are here to help!


The process usually begins with an estimate of your project. Contact us and we would be happy to help you out with that. Blueprints help a lot if you happen to have them, but we also have a sketch sheet to assist you in drawing out your kitchen (see right).


Select Your Granite Color


After you decide to move forward with the project, the next step is to select your granite color. 


For larger projects that require a full slab, you can either come out to our showroom here in Richmond, MN, or visit one of our suppliers located throughout the Twin Cities and St. Cloud. 


If your project only requires a remnant, we have over 1,500 pieces to choose from stored in our indoor warehouse.


Schedule a Field Measure


After you have made your selections, the next step is to schedule a field measure. We come out to your house and custom measure your project using our laser measuring equipment. This ensures a perfect fit in every home!


After we complete the field measure, we use the CAD drawing created by the laser and overlay it on images of your slabs to create a digital rendering of your kitchen. 


This will help you know exactly what your custom countertops are going to look like even before they are cut out of the slabs! With this technology, we can match up seams, accent veins, and seamlessly coordinate the layout with our customers. NO MORE TAPE!


After a slab layout has been approved, we can begin fabrication in our state-of-the-art fabrication shop. 


We utilize many machines including laser projectors, CNC machinery, and beltline polishers in coordination with hand polishing to create the perfect granite project every time!


The Installation Process


And finally comes the installation! The time frame between field measure and installation is usually between 1-2 weeks but does fluctuate slightly depending upon the time of year. 


The actual install itself will only take our expert crew about two hours to complete.


If you have any further questions, feel free to give us a call and we would be happy to help you out. Together we can create the perfect granite countertops to transform your home today!


Free Estimates With No Commitment to Buy


Here at Chain Of Lakes Granite, we will bid any granite countertops for FREE with NO commitment to buy. To get your FREE estimate, download and print the estimate sheet below, sketch out your countertops, and email it to us. 


When drawing your countertops remember to show polished edges, walls with backsplashes, sink locations, appliance locations (cooktop, freestanding stove, slide-in stove), and to add overhangs to cabinets. Below is a sample of a completed estimate sheet.
