Full-Service Installation
Miami homeowners expect their kitchens to reflect the city's energy and sophistication. At AP STONE INC., we run the entire countertop installation process in-house — from the first in-home consultation through final cleanup — so nothing gets lost between a slab yard, a fabricator, and an installer. Whether you are renovating a sleek Brickell high-rise condo or outfitting a waterfront estate on Key Biscayne, the same crew that measures your kitchen is the one that installs it.
Every project starts with a laser-measured template of your space, ensuring every cutout for undermount sinks, cooktops, and faucets is accurate to the millimeter. From there, your slab goes to our shop for CNC fabrication with a polished or leathered finish. For waterfall kitchen islands -- one of the most requested features in Miami's Wynwood and Design District renovations -- we digitally map the vein pattern across horizontal and vertical surfaces so the stone flows continuously around corners without visible seams. Installation day includes full cleanup; most Miami kitchens are done in a single day.
The process above is the same no matter which stone you choose — the material itself changes cost, maintenance, and lead time. Quartz is the low-maintenance, non-porous option most Miami kitchens land on. Granite gives one-of-a-kind natural veining at a lower price point than marble. Marble — Calacatta and Statuario in particular — remains the top choice for clients prioritizing look over upkeep. Not sure which fits your project? We bring physical slab samples to your home during the free estimate so you can compare them in your actual lighting before deciding.
The parts of a countertop that fail first are rarely the surface — they are the places where stone is unsupported or cut away. An island overhang up to about ten inches carries itself in most materials; past that it needs steel. We size hidden flat-bar or corbel support to the actual span and material, because a twelve-inch quartz overhang with nothing under it will hold for years and then crack the first time someone sits on it. If the plan calls for seating, we design the support before the slab is cut, not after the island is set.
Cutouts are the other stress point. An undermount sink opening gets polished edges and radiused corners rather than square ones: a sharp interior corner is a starting point for a crack, and the difference costs nothing at fabrication time. Cooktop openings need clearance for heat expansion, and in book-matched or heavily veined material we position the cutout so the pattern still reads across the run instead of dying into a hole.
Edge profile is where budget and use meet. An eased or pencil edge is the most forgiving in a working kitchen and the easiest to keep clean. A mitered edge gives the thick monolithic look that reads well on waterfall islands, but it is a glued joint at the most exposed corner of the piece, so it depends entirely on the quality of the seam and the color match of the adhesive. We walk through the options against how the kitchen actually gets used before fabrication, since the profile cannot be changed once the slab is cut.
South Florida's humidity and temperature swings put unique stress on stone surfaces. A countertop that is improperly sealed or installed with inadequate substrate support will develop cracks, stains, and uneven joints within months. Our installation crew understands these regional challenges. We use flexible, high-bond adhesives rated for tropical climates and apply professional-grade sealants that protect against moisture infiltration -- critical for homes near Biscayne Bay and along the Miami Beach coastline where salt air accelerates wear on untreated stone.
From initial consultation through final polish, our countertop installation process in Miami typically takes two to three weeks: 7-10 business days for fabrication after your template appointment, then a single day on-site for installation. Whether your project is a single bathroom vanity or a 40-linear-foot kitchen with integrated bar counters, we treat every surface with the same level of care. We walk you through the countertop materials that fit the way you actually use the kitchen, coordinate the countertop fabrication with the slab yard so the natural stone you picked is the one that gets cut, and remove and dispose of your existing countertops as part of the installation day.

"AP Stone fabricated and installed a Calacatta waterfall island for our Brickell apartment. Working in a high-rise with limited elevator access was no problem for their team — they brought the slabs up in pieces and seamed them perfectly on-site. Incredible work."

"We chose Super White quartzite for our Coral Gables kitchen. AP Stone brought three slab options to our home for viewing in our actual lighting — that made the selection process so much easier. The final install is exactly what we pictured."

"Had quartz installed in our Pinecrest kitchen and master bath. AP Stone's mitered edge on the island perimeter is razor-sharp. They also did the backsplash in the same quartz, no grout lines, and it looks seamless. Will use them again."

Countertop installation in Miami costs $70–$150 per square foot for quartz, $60–$120 for Carrara marble, and $60–$200 for granite (exotic patterns reaching the top of that range) — all installed. Miami kitchen projects typically run 30–60 sq ft for a standard island and perimeter. We provide a full itemized quote including edge profiles and backsplash.
Fabrication takes 7–10 business days after template measurement. Installation takes 1 day for most Miami kitchens. We schedule template measurement and installation around your schedule, and can accommodate evening or Saturday appointments for occupied Miami homes.
Quartz is the most practical choice for Miami kitchens due to its non-porous surface and heat resistance. Calacatta marble is the most popular luxury choice despite requiring sealing. For outdoor kitchens and terraces, we recommend porcelain slabs or quartzite, which handle UV and humidity far better than marble or quartz.
