Auburndale Showroom — Stone Countertops
J&A Stone Designs sources, fabricates, and installs custom granite countertops from our Auburndale showroom. Every granite slab is unique. Every countertop is cut and finished at our own shop. Serving Polk County to Miami.
Granite countertops have been a kitchen and bathroom standard for decades because of their durability, heat resistance, and the visual depth that no manufactured material fully replicates. Every granite slab is pulled from a specific quarry and carries its own unique pattern, movement, and color variation. No two granite countertops look exactly alike, which is why we strongly recommend viewing slabs in person before making a selection.
We source granite through Preferred Marble and Granite and The Granite Place. Our Auburndale showroom allows you to view and compare slab options under real lighting conditions before any commitment is made. Once a slab is selected, our in-house fabrication team cuts, edges, and finishes the countertop at our Auburndale shop. Installation is handled by the same team that fabricated it. We have been doing this since 2018 and serve homeowners from Polk County to Miami. For flooring, visit our Lakeland showroom.
In a market filled with engineered alternatives, granite holds its ground for specific reasons. Here is an honest look at what granite does well and where it requires more consideration.
Granite is one of the hardest natural stones used in countertop fabrication. It resists heat — you can place a hot pan directly on properly sealed granite without damage. Each slab is visually unique, which is a genuine advantage for homeowners who want a countertop with character that no engineered material can match. Granite is also durable enough to last the lifetime of the home when properly maintained. With annual sealing, it resists stains and maintains its appearance over decades.
Granite requires sealing on installation and once per year thereafter to maintain stain resistance. Because it is a natural stone, the slab you view in the showroom is the exact slab that gets fabricated — no two pieces of granite are identical, which means viewing and approving a specific slab is part of the selection process. Florida's UV exposure can gradually affect some granite finishes over time in outdoor applications, where porcelain or quartz may be a more resilient choice. Our team walks through these considerations with you during the consultation.
We discuss your kitchen or bathroom layout, color palette, edge profiles, and maintenance preferences before you view any slabs. This helps narrow the selection to options that genuinely fit your project.
You select a specific slab — not just a sample — from our supplier partners. The slab you approve is the one that gets fabricated. We can accompany you to view slabs in person at the slab yard when needed.
We visit your home to template the exact countertop dimensions, including cutouts for sinks, cooktops, and any special features. Precision templating is what ensures a proper fit on installation day.
Our Auburndale shop cuts and finishes the granite countertop to the template specifications. We do not outsource any part of this process. Edge profiles are cut to your specification during fabrication.
Our installation crew sets the granite, seals it on completion, and installs any undermount sinks or fixtures included in the scope. We complete a final walkthrough with you before closing out the project.
We walk you through granite care on completion — the right cleaning products, re-sealing schedule, and what to avoid to keep your granite countertop in good condition for years.
Visit our Auburndale showroom to view slab options from Preferred Marble and Granite and The Granite Place. Free consultation and on-site templating included. Mon through Fri, 8AM to 4PM at 1057 US Highway 92 W, Auburndale, FL 33823.
