Before you order

Six things decide how a kitchen counter turns out.

Most of them get settled before a single slab is cut, and most people are never asked about them. These are the ones worth having an opinion on when you walk into the yard.

Which stone suits the way you cook: Granite and quartzite take heat and heavy use. Quartz is the most forgiving day to day but does not like a hot pan set straight down. Marble will etch where something acidic sits, and some people want that and some people do not. There is no single right answer, only the one that matches your kitchen.
Where the seams fall: A kitchen almost always needs more than one piece. We lay the seams out on the actual slab so the veining runs through them, and we put them where they read least, usually at a sink or a corner rather than across an open run. You see the plan before we cut.
The island, and whether one slab covers it: Large islands are where slab size stops being a detail. If yours runs past what a single slab covers, the choice is a seam or a different stone in a bigger format, and it is better to know that while you are still picking.
Edge profile: The edge changes how heavy the whole counter looks. A simple eased edge reads modern and thin, a mitered edge makes the stone look twice its thickness, and an ogee reads traditional. It costs little to change on paper and a lot to change after.
Overhang and what holds it up: Seating overhangs need support past a certain reach, and how far depends on the material and the thickness. That is a structural question, not a style one, and it gets answered at templating rather than on install day.
Backsplash in the same stone: Running the counter material up the wall, either a short return or full height behind the range, is the single change that most makes a kitchen look designed rather than assembled. It also removes a grout line you would otherwise be cleaning.

We import the stone, fabricate it in our own shop on Airport Road in Hartford, and install it with our own crew. That matters here because every one of the decisions above is made by the people who will actually cut the slab, in the same building, rather than passed to a shop you never speak to.
