Countertops and tile, Byron to Macon

From the slab yard to your kitchen, one shop the whole way.

Every top that leaves this shop travels the same road, and the same people stay on it. You walk the yard and choose the slab. Someone from the shop comes to the house to template. The stone is cut in Byron. The crew you already met sets it. Below is that road in order, then each kind of job it applies to.

Five stops, one crew

Where do I start if I have never bought stone before?

In the yard, with the slabs standing in front of you. Nothing that comes after is a surprise, because the people who show you the stone are the same people who measure, cut and set it. The Coon family story explains why the shop runs that way.

Walk the yard
Choose the actual slab with Connie.
The first visit is to the Byron lot, where full granite and quartzite slabs stand on edge outside the building and a showroom holds a large sample library. Michael Evangelo wrote in a Google review: “They have the full slabs there at the shop that you can look at.” Connie is the name customers give for the person who helps with the choosing. Helga Leahy wrote that she “was very knowledgeable and helpful in making our decision on which material and pattern to pick.”
Another customer wrote that the shop found the piece of stone they wanted and made certain they were happy with it before it was cut. If your cabinets or remodel are not ready yet, the shop can hold the material until the project is.
Template at the house
Someone from the shop measures your room, slowly.
The template is taken in your kitchen, with your cabinets in place. A reviewer wrote that “The guy that came out to our house spent 4 hours there making a template.” The payoff came on install day, in the same review: “it was an absolute perfect fit.” Templating is done by the shop itself, not a subcontracted crew, so the person who measured is the person who can answer for the number later.

Cut in the Byron shop
The veining gets matched where the stone has to be pieced.
Back at the shop your template becomes stone. Shawn Carpenter, whose kitchen had a multi-angled layout, wrote that the man who cut his tops “took great pride in matching up the natural patterns where piecing was required”. In a 2003 profile in Stone Business, Rick Coon described the rule the shop works by: “everything is done in-house”, “from the templating to the installation.”
Set by the same people
No strangers at your door on install day.
In that same profile Rick Coon put it this way: “We’re the only people you’re going to see.” and “There won’t be strangers coming around.” Backsplashes are coordinated with the countertop rather than treated as a separate job, which is where the Tile Works half of the name comes in.

After the install
A seam or caulk line that fails gets repaired.
If a seam breaks or a caulk line fails, the shop repairs it promptly. Rick Coon said in 2003 that when people offered to pay him for that kind of follow-up, he told them to just tell their friends, and that it had brought him far more work than a check would have. Customers do exactly that: one 2025 Google reviewer wrote that a buddy had recommended the shop to them.
