Featured project

One slab. Five decisive moments.

  1. Client hand-selecting a New Taj quartzite slab at the slab yard
    01

    Hand-selected

    She walked the slab yard with us and chose the exact slab — not a sample chip.

  2. Full New Taj quartzite slab at the slab yard
    02

    Read the veins

    New Taj quartzite. Every cut mapped so the movement flows from island to backsplash.

  3. Vacuum lifter positioning a quartzite countertop with a mitered edge
    03

    Precision fabrication

    Mitered edges and cut-outs finished by our team, then set with a vacuum lifter.

  4. Golden General Works van delivering a quartzite slab on a vacuum cart
    04

    White-glove delivery

    Our own crew and equipment. The team that measures is the team that installs.

  5. 05

    Installed

    Island, perimeter and full-height backsplash — one continuous story in stone.

Before & after

Same kitchen. Before stone, after stone.

The New Taj kitchen with the island cabinets set and leveled — and the same room once our team installed the quartzite.

Services

One team, every surface.

Design, cabinetry, stone and installation under one roof — nothing gets lost between trades.

Designed around your family

Homes are personal. Ours are built that way.

  1. Spice kitchens

    A hard-working second kitchen behind the show kitchen — stronger ventilation and an easy-clean slab backsplash.

  2. Pooja rooms & mandirs

    Marble mandir units, backlit niches and brass detailing — built with care for what the space means.

  3. Vastu-conscious planning

    Stove orientation, entry, pooja direction — share your preferences and we plan around them from day one.

  4. Turmeric-proof surfaces

    Real stain tests before you choose: which stones resist haldi, oil and citrus, and which to keep for baths.

  5. Islands that host

    10 to 14-foot islands with waterfall ends and seating for the whole family.

  6. Multigenerational suites

    In-law suites with curbless showers and comfort-height vanities that still feel like a hotel.

Design Studio

Describe it in a sentence. See it in 3D.

From a chipped corner to a complete kitchen — write your idea and get a 3D concept with a project brief in seconds.

Material library

Choose stone with your eyes open.

Natural and engineered stones we work with every week — try any of them on your own 3D plan.

Quartzite

Taj Quartzite

Natural stone harder than granite with the soft movement of marble. Our first pick for busy, hosting kitchens.

Try it in the Design Studio →

Marble

Calacatta Gold

Timeless Italian elegance. Softer and more porous — perfect for baths, baking stations and feature walls.

Try it in the Design Studio →

Porcelain

Statuario Porcelain

Ultra-thin, ultra-tough sintered surface. Shrugs off heat, UV and turmeric — great indoors and out.

FAQ

Good to know.

Do you work across the Eastside or only near Auburn?

We work across Greater Seattle — Bellevue, Redmond, Sammamish, Issaquah, Kirkland, Seattle, Renton, Kent, Auburn and Tacoma. Our showroom is in Auburn, WA.

Can I choose my exact slab?

Yes. We walk the slab yard with you to hand-pick the exact slab and approve the vein layout before anything is cut.

Which stone resists turmeric, oil and everyday cooking stains?

Dense quartzites, porcelain and quality quartz are the most stain-resistant. Marble is beautiful but softer and more porous; we'll show you real stain tests before you decide.

Do you design pooja rooms, mandirs and spice kitchens?

Yes. We design and build marble mandirs, backlit pooja niches and dedicated spice kitchens with the ventilation and durable surfaces they need.

Can you plan around Vastu preferences?

Absolutely. Share your preferences — stove orientation, entry, pooja direction — and we'll plan the layout around them from day one.

How does the 3D Design Studio work?

Describe your idea in plain English — a chip repair or a full kitchen — and the studio drafts a 3D concept with a project brief. Send it to us and we'll refine it with you on-site.

Do you handle small repairs?

Yes. Chips, cracks, seams, re-polishing and re-sealing are usually handled in a single visit.
