Process
Natural Stoneworks keeps the countertop process clear, organized, and easy to follow — from your first quote request through material selection, laser templating, in-house fabrication, and installation.
How It Works
Every project is different, but most countertop projects move through the same five core steps. Estimated timing can vary based on material availability, project scope, and jobsite readiness.
Start with the digital quote request form. Share your contact information, project address, project type, material interest, timeline, notes, and any photos or plans you already have.
Typical timing: takes about 2–5 minutes to submit.The team reviews your project details and helps clarify material direction, scope, layout needs, sink and fixture details, and any special project considerations.
Visit the Lancaster showroom or work from selected supplier material options.Once the space is ready, Natural Stoneworks uses laser templating technology to capture precise measurements and plan the final fit.
Cabinets and key site conditions should be ready before templating.Your selected material is cut, shaped, and finished in-house by the fabrication team using specialized shop equipment and project-specific details.
Typical timing: often about 1–2 weeks from templating to installation, depending on scope and material.The installation team delivers and installs your countertops, vanity tops, fireplace surrounds, outdoor stonework, or specialty project with care and attention to fit and finish.
Final timing is confirmed once templating, material, and fabrication details are complete.Before Templating
A little preparation makes the process smoother and helps avoid preventable scheduling delays.
Confirm project areas, sinks, faucets, cooktops, seams, backsplash needs, and edge profile preferences before templating whenever possible.
Cabinets, supports, access points, and site conditions should be ready for accurate measuring and safe installation.
Photos, cabinet drawings, inspiration images, and material selections help the team understand the project faster.
Before templating or installation, review the countertop preparation guide to help ensure the space is ready and avoid preventable scheduling delays.

Timing varies by scope and material, but a common expectation is roughly 1–2 weeks from templating to installation once the space is ready and material details are confirmed.
A showroom visit is helpful for seeing material options in person, but the team can also work from inspiration photos, selected slabs, supplier information, or project plans.
Include your project address, project type, material interest, estimated timeline, photos or plans, and any notes about sinks, fixtures, access, or special project details.
