I was trying to purchase a countertop for my added island (3’*5’) and got a ready-to-install piece fabricated as desired. This is a small project so I quoted around for material and fabrication and mostly of them either only sell material or only does fabrication. I did my main countertop project with Home Depot (not recommend if you want it sooner because I waited for 2 months, crazy) but this time it is too expensive for a small project like this. I found this one on Facebook and they can do both! I also like that the corner and edge can be finished with your choice (some independent contract/handyman only does 90 degree finish but I am not a big fan of that and prefer a more rounded style). Carlos is also super friendly and demoed us with the edge finish on the spot when we were there. I would highly recommend Carlos for any countertop projects you have! :) I will come back if I have other projects in the future.
I highly recommend Felipe and his crew at Mokastile. After speaking with some retailers, I decided to use a marble-looking porcelain slab for my project. Very few contractors work with porcelain slabs, and Mokastile was one of these few. I contacted Mokastile and Felipe responded right away.
One of the challenges with a porcelain slab is that the marble-looking pattern is only on the surface of the slab - the interior of the slab is plain white. To keep the end result looking like marble, the contractor needs to make really challenging 45 degree cuts to continue the marble-looking grain around the edge of the project. Felipe and Mokastile did a fantastic job - they were incredibly careful in how they cut the material, so the end result is beautiful and looks like marble, but has the stain resistance and durability of porcelain.
Felipe also charges a fair price for his work, was quick to schedule the fabrication and installation, was very flexible in working with whatever material I chose, and kept my house really clean while he and his crew did their work.
Mokastile is a great company to work with.
