OUR PROCESS
Here at Rio Stone, it is our mission to meet and exceed all your granite/quartz installation expectations. We view quality service as a cornerstone of our business and always keep our customers top of mind. We want our customers to be aware and understand every step of the process. Below is what you can expect when you choose Rio Stone for your granite and quartz needs!
Step 1
Approximate Your Square Footage
1. Start by measuring the length of all countertops or surfaces, this could be from wall to wall, wall to open edge, or for an island, just edge to edge. (Measure in inches for the most accurate results.)
​
2. Now that you have the length, find the corresponding width of each piece.
​
3. You will then multiply the length by the width for each measured section, which will give you the total area in square inches.
​
4. To convert your total from square inches to square feet, you simply divide your previous number from Step 3 by 144. This will give you your square footage.
​
Example:
length of counters: 126"
with of counters: 25.5"
126 * 25.5 = 3,213
3,213 / 144 = 22.3 sq ft
​
**Backsplash is done exactly the same, except instead of measuring the width of the counters, you will multiply the length of the piece by the desired height of the backsplash. (The "lip" is typically 4", and a full backsplash is typically 17".)
Step 2

Choose from any of our FIVE free edges for simple, classic beauty. If you're looking to add something unique and bold, go for the upgrades! Premium edges make a statement in any room.
