From in-home consultation to laser template, in-shop fabrication, and white-glove install — the complete countertop process, engineered for Fort Lauderdale's waterfront lifestyle and built to last against salt air and sun.
Full-Service, Waterfront-Grade
Fort Lauderdale living revolves around the water. From the Intracoastal estates of Las Olas Isles to the modern builds in Victoria Park, homeowners here need countertops that look stunning and stand up to the coastal environment. AP STONE INC. runs the entire countertop installation process in-house -- from the first in-home consultation through final cleanup -- combining that full-service approach with installation methods designed specifically for waterfront durability.
Every countertop installation in Fort Lauderdale begins with our laser-templating process. We measure your existing cabinetry to within a fraction of a millimeter, then fabricate each piece on CNC equipment for exact fit at our shop. Cutouts for sinks, cooktops, and soap dispensers are precision-routed so your plumber and appliance installer can finish their work without adjustments. From a guest bath vanity in Coral Ridge to a full gourmet kitchen in Harbor Beach, we bring the same attention to detail -- for indoor kitchens, master bathrooms, and the outdoor kitchens that are essential to the Fort Lauderdale lifestyle.
The process above is the same regardless of material — what changes is cost, maintenance, and how it holds up outdoors. Quartz is the low-maintenance choice most indoor kitchens land on. Marble -- especially book-matched islands with mitered edges -- is the top request in waterfront communities like Las Olas Isles and Harbor Beach. For outdoor countertops specifically, we steer clients toward porcelain slabs or quartzite: both handle UV exposure and thermal cycling far better than marble or quartz, and we pair them with marine-grade sealants and stainless steel supports that resist salt corrosion. Not sure what fits your project? We bring physical slab samples to your home during the free estimate.
The combination of intense sunlight, high humidity, and proximity to salt water means that countertop materials behave differently here than in inland climates. Marble that would perform flawlessly in a northern kitchen may etch or discolor within a year if improperly sealed in a Fort Lauderdale home. We account for these factors at every stage -- from helping you choose the right stone at the slab yard to applying impregnating sealers that create an invisible moisture barrier deep within the stone's pores. Fabrication takes 7-10 business days after your template appointment, then a single day on-site for installation. Reach us at (754) 202-0447 or through our contact page.

"AP Stone installed a Calacatta marble waterfall island in our Las Olas kitchen. The fabrication quality is exceptional — perfect miter corners and continuous veining from the surface over the edge. Our guests ask about it constantly."

"We chose quartzite for our outdoor kitchen in Weston given the heat and sun exposure. AP Stone advised us correctly — the quartzite has held up perfectly two summers in, zero etching or fading. The indoor kitchen counters in quartz look equally great."

"Hired AP Stone for a full kitchen remodel in Coral Springs. They coordinated with our cabinet installer to ensure the countertop reveal was perfect. The Silestone quartz we selected came out beautifully and the process was smooth start to finish."

Countertop installation in Fort Lauderdale costs $70–$150 per square foot for quartz and $60–$120 for marble, installed. Broward County homes often have larger kitchen footprints than comparable Miami properties, particularly in Weston and Parkland. We offer on-site measurement and provide a fixed-price quote within 48 hours.
Quartz remains the most popular in Fort Lauderdale family homes for its durability and low maintenance. In waterfront communities like Las Olas Isles and Harbor Beach, Calacatta marble countertops with waterfall edges are highly sought after for their luxury appearance. We install both and provide honest guidance on maintenance expectations for each.
Yes. Fort Lauderdale's outdoor living culture makes outdoor kitchen countertops one of our most popular services in Broward. We exclusively recommend porcelain slabs or quartzite for outdoor applications — both handle UV, salt air, and heat without the cracking or etching risks of marble or quartz outdoors.
