Perimeter runs, islands, peninsulas, waterfall ends and bar tops. Sink cutouts, cooktop cutouts and edge profiling are finished in the shop, so install day is a single visit.

Riverside Custom Countertops handles countertop installation, replacement, custom fabrication, repair, refinishing, resurfacing, sealing and polishing for homes and businesses across Riverside County and the western Inland Empire. Every job starts the same way: a free in-home templating visit and a written, itemized scope before anyone cuts stone.
Some of our week is a full kitchen in Orangecrest. A lot of it is smaller — a cracked slab in an Arlington galley, one vanity top in Canyon Crest, a patio bar in Woodcrest that has spent ten summers in full sun. We quote both the same way.
Send your details and we reply the same business day. No obligation, and the estimate is in writing.

Installation & new work
These are the jobs that start with a slab you have not bought yet. Templating comes first, slab selection second, and the cut list is built from your actual cabinets rather than a plan drawing.
Perimeter runs, islands, peninsulas, waterfall ends and bar tops. Sink cutouts, cooktop cutouts and edge profiling are finished in the shop, so install day is a single visit.
Kitchen countertops →Single and double vanities, undermount or integrated basins, splash returns, and matching window sills. The fastest room in the house to bring forward a decade.
Vanity tops →Grill surrounds, bar tops and full outdoor kitchens in porcelain and granite — the two surfaces that hold colour and structure through an Inland Empire August.
Outdoor kitchens →Templating, CNC cutting, mitred aprons, waterfall ends and book-matched veining. Cut locally, which is why a re-cut is a matter of days instead of a reorder.
Fabrication →Old tile, laminate or tired stone out and hauled off, cabinet runs levelled where the previous install hid a dip, new tops set and sealed the same day.
Replacement →Cafés, salons, offices, break rooms and multi-unit residential, sequenced around the other trades and your opening date. Quoted from drawings, templated once cabinets are set.
Commercial →Repair & restoration
A surprising share of Riverside calls do not need a new countertop. Resin repair, re-honing and re-sealing solve most of what people assume is terminal, and we would rather tell you that than sell you a slab.
Edge chips, cracks running off a sink or cooktop cutout, separated seams, loose undermount sinks, and laminate that has lifted at a joint.
Repair →Honing and re-polishing stone that has gone flat, plus stain drawing on marble and limestone that has taken on oil or citrus.
Refinishing →Impregnating sealer on porous stone and removal of the hard-water scale and mineral film that Riverside tap water leaves on a polished surface.
Sealing →Not sure which one you need? Describe the damage on the form or over the phone and we will tell you whether it is a repair, a refinish or a replacement — including when the honest answer is the cheap one.

A quick read on where each job lands before you call. Every one of these starts with the same free templating or assessment visit.
| Service | Typical trigger | Time on site | Material stays or goes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kitchen installation | Remodel, new cabinets, or a full upgrade from laminate or tile | Template 1 hr · install 1 day | New slab |
| Replacement | Tops are dated, damaged or the wrong material for the room | Template 1 hr · demo + install 1 day | Old tops removed and hauled |
| Vanity tops | Bathroom refresh, failed cultured-marble top, sink change | Template 30 min · install half day | New slab or remnant |
| Outdoor kitchen | New patio build, or sun-damaged existing top | Template 1 hr · install 1 day | New UV-stable slab |
| Fabrication only | Builder, contractor or designer supplying their own install | Template 1 hr · shop work only | Your slab or ours |
| Repair | Chip, crack, open seam, loose sink | Usually one visit, 2–4 hrs | Existing stone kept |
| Refinishing | Surface has gone dull, etched or stained | Half to full day | Existing stone kept |
| Sealing & polishing | Water no longer beads; hard-water film or scale | 1–3 hrs | Existing stone kept |
| Commercial | Tenant improvement, café build-out, multi-unit | Phased to your schedule | Spec-dependent |
Durations assume reasonable site access. A second-storey condo, a narrow Wood Streets galley, or a single ten-foot island slab that has to clear a side gate all add labour, and all of it is called out at template rather than after.
Materials
Granite, quartz, marble, quartzite, soapstone, slate, travertine, limestone, onyx, butcher block, wood, concrete, porcelain, ceramic, stainless steel, copper, recycled glass and laminate. What changes between them is edge detail, seam strategy, sealing and how the material behaves in a west-facing Riverside kitchen.
Questions
Something specific to your job, call (951) 589-3336. Calls only — no text messages.
Yes. We template, cut, edge and polish, and you or your contractor collect and set. Builders and designers in Riverside and Corona use us this way regularly. We will still want to do the template ourselves, because a cut list built from someone else's measurements is a cut list we cannot stand behind.
No. Templating and the written, itemized quote are free, and there is no obligation attached to either. What we ask is roughly an hour of your time in the kitchen, because seam placement and edge profile are decisions that should be made in the room.
Almost always sealing and polishing rather than refinishing. A surface that has lost its shine from hard water and daily cleaner usually comes back with descaling, re-polishing and fresh impregnating sealer. Refinishing is the heavier option for stone that is etched, scratched into the surface, or stained through.
Frequently. A common Riverside job is replacing the kitchen tops while re-honing and re-sealing an existing marble vanity in the same house. Bundling saves a trip charge and we sequence it so the messy work happens first.
Yes, on both residential remodels and commercial tenant improvements. We quote from drawings for budgeting, then template once the cabinets are actually set and square. Trade schedules and lien-release paperwork are familiar territory.
No minimum, though very small jobs are best combined. A single chip repair or one small vanity remnant is worth doing, and we will be straight with you about whether the trip makes sense on its own or is better bundled with other work.
Riverside plus Moreno Valley, Corona, Jurupa Valley, Norco, Eastvale, Perris, Colton, Grand Terrace, Redlands and Fontana as our core area, and we take work in the surrounding communities from Rubidoux and Bloomington out to Lake Elsinore and Chino Hills.
