Most projects move from first phone call to finished install in one to two weeks. Here's the path from concept to completed countertop.
We come to you, walk the cabinets, discuss material options for your budget, and quote on the spot. No deposit required to get a quote.
Once you select your slab, our installer returns with a laser template to capture every dimension, overhang and cutout exactly.
Your slab is CNC-cut at our Distribution Street shop, edges shaped to profile, sink and faucet cutouts made, final polish applied in-house.
Old counters removed, new tops set and levelled, seams joined invisibly, sealant applied, plumbing reconnected. Clean job site at completion.
Every edge, seam and cutout walked with you. You receive a care kit and a written record of your installation for your records.
Six profiles we cut in-house at our Charlotte shop. Pick by feel — modern, classic, family-safe or full statement.
Square with softened top
The clean, contemporary default. Slightly rounded top edge prevents chipping. Reads modern in any kitchen.
Angled 45° chamfer
A crisp 45-degree cut along the top edge. Adds a small architectural detail without going ornate.
Full half-round
Top and bottom edges meet in a single radius. Family-friendly — no sharp corners for children or hips.
Classic S-curve profile
Concave top flowing into convex below. The choice for traditional and transitional kitchen designs.
Built-up thick edge
Two pieces joined at 45° to create the look of a 1.5″ thick slab. Premium feel for islands and bars.
Slab continues to the floor
The slab face cascades down the island side to the floor. Architectural, high-impact, bookmatched.

World Stone has served the Southeast and the Carolinas since 1996. Here's what Charlotte homeowners and commercial clients say about working with the team.
"World Stone did our full kitchen renovation — granite island, perimeter counters, the works. The team was professional from measurement to install. Couldn't ask for better."
"We've used World Stone for two homes now. They know their stone, the pricing is fair, and the quality holds up. It's the only call we make for countertops in Charlotte."
"From showroom to install was under two weeks. The CNC fabrication was perfect — the seams are invisible. Thirty years of experience shows in every detail."
Tell us what you're thinking. We'll come measure, walk you through stones for your budget, and quote on the spot. No commitment required.
