Custom Stone

Dmitar at Custom Stone did an exceptional job of designing and installing our counters. We’re delighted with the care they took in figuring out how to cut the slabs so that we could enjoy the colors and patterns. Since the slabs did not have a regular pattern it was quite a challenge. Making the two «flowers» so prominent was important to us and did a great job with them.
We’re particularly delighted with the results around the sink. The line of crystals that goes around the sink crosses five different pieces of granite but because it was designed and installed with care it looks fantastic.
They are not the cheapest installer but did exceptional work.

Well it’s been almost 2 years since we had Custom Stone do our kitchen counter tops, thought it was time to give them a well deserved review, being as how this is where I found them based on all the positive reviews. The Cambria (Buckingham) counter tops look like they were installed yesterday. We had them do everything, tear out the old tile, put new wood down, measure everything, install the new stuff and re install the gas cooktop and a new Swanstone (highly recommended) under-​mount sink, disposal and faucet. The estimate seemed so good I didn’t even get a second one, just said do it. Very professional and knew their stuff. They did the whole job on the schedule they gave us. Could not be happier with the whole job. Very Pleased !

Dimitar and Custom Stone were able to offer a 10% discount in the overall price of my 16 sq foot quartz countertop project, compared to a San Carlos countertop company. Price per sq foot was $ 108.
I didn’t have time to go out to San Leandro to view their showroom, but trusting their high Unilocal reviews, I went ahead and scheduled the measurement and subsequent install. One week after they took the measurement, they arrived with the countertop. Install took about an hour, but the guys were quick and professional.
I’m happy with the overall product and service. I’ll be sure to call them again when I do a full kitchen remodel!

Dimitar helped us install beautiful deep cobalt blue quartz countertops in our kitchen and also helped me custom-​construct a large working counter over the washer/​dryer area, and a tabletop counter for our round café table in the same material. He was completely professional, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with through the whole process. A consummate problem-​solver, Dimitar helped us insure that all the counters fit perfectly and flawlessly in our up-​dated kitchen-​for a competitive price. We cannot recommend Custom Stone highly enough. These are the guys to choose!

Custom Stone is the best! I’ve used them twice now, for one kitchen and two bathrooms. They are consistent in their professionalism, attention to detail, perfection with the edging and deliver/​install a beautiful project. With regard to pricing, they have come in under their competitors, whose workmanship was distinctly of less quality. They arrive on time, are efficient and considerate of the space they work in. Highly recommend them.

I had been looking for Quartz counter tops everywhere and couldn’t find the right place to deal with until I walked into Custom Stone. Immediately I sensed a difference with Dimitar. He was considerate, informative and genuine. I had the measurements with me (always have your measurements with you) and he gave me a quote for the Cambria. Wow… great price… where do I sign.
As promised he showed up on time and created the templates: within the time frame given the counter-​tops were ready and once again he showed up on time and installed them flawlessly. They are absolutely beautiful.
So Beautiful and the price was right we had our other house’s kitchen done with Cambria. Once again he performed as promised.
Side note to the gal from SF who gave them * rating… you missed out on great service and quality work.
I will be calling them again for my house in Fremont.

We recently had Custom Stone install granite counters in our remodeled kitchen. We were working within a tight budget and decided that the one splurge would be the granite. We wanted it to be the best and we chose the installer that we thought would be the best. It turned out to be an excellent decision. They are very expensive, but the results are out of this world.
We have been wanting granite counters for 25 years so this part of the project was very important to us. We chose two gorgeous slabs which had diverse patterns everywhere. Dimitar had me come in and design the placement of the granite in the different parts of the kitchen. Both slabs had a large rosette pattern in the middle of them. I told Dimitar that I wanted each of those rosettes to be in a prominent place, one on the stove backsplash and one in the middle of the peninsula. It was difficult, but he worked with me and figured out how to do it. He planned how he could meet my request and place all the seams in an inconspicuous place under the sink. Once this was figured out, all of the other pieces had to fall into place by being next to these areas. I was happy that the rosettes were going to work out, but this meant that another feature I loved, a dark brown vein of crystals, was going to have to be cut out under the stove and sink. I decided that it was good enough.
When I saw the finished installation, I was shocked to see what happened to those beautiful brown veins. I never mentioned anything to Dimitar about my sadness from losing them, but apparently he could see how beautiful they were too. Somehow, by some miracle, he designed the veins so that they went in a diagonal line circling the entire sink, going up the backsplash to the windowsill, spilling over and coming back down again on the other side. This involved lining up the patterns in five different pieces of granite. Not only can you not see the seams, but the placement of this pattern is a work of art.
The rosette patterns were placed perfectly, centered but artistically. The installation itself is a marvel. Every edge is beautifully smoothed and every piece is perfectly installed. Our contractor had left some messy edges and this took a lot of work on the part of the granite installer to make everything fit perfectly, but somehow he did it.
Every day I look at the granite and marvel at its beauty, perfect fit, and arrangement. We are so glad that we searched for the best and found it.

Custom Stone is the exemplary business model of quality products, excellent craftsmanship and customer service that exceeds your expectations. In addition they have the most competitive prices and quick turnaround. I called them based on the reviews on the Internet and Unilocal and every review was spot on and then some. Dimitar, and his crew are on top of their game — don’t hesitate to utilize their services. your expectations will be exceeded!

We were doing a very high-​end kitchen remodel with quartz counters. We got multiple bids, Custom Stone was very reasonable, great references, visited them at showroom, and we were very impressed. Went with them, they came out and spent 1 hour doing precision measuring, returned one week later with cut stone and installed. We went with 3 cm stone, very thick and heavy, but installation was flawless and fast. They mounted and sealed sinks. Very professional and very well done. I highly recommend these guys! Dimitar and all his fellow workers are great!

Wonderful to do business with! They accommodated my special needs without hesitation. Only a small scheduling glitch made it 99% perfect. Love my new Caesarstone bathroom vanity top! The room looks bigger and updated. Couldn’t be happier with the finished product.

Had a great experience working with Custom Stone. We were in the market for a Caesarstone vanity top and did extensive research to find the combination of best price and service. Custom Stone came highly recommended and had the best price.
Dimitar from Custom Stone answered all of my questions and was prompt in his replies (a refreshing trait in the contractor world). They showed up on time to do the templating and installation. Our vanity top with undermount sink and backsplash looks great. I would definitely recommend Custom Stone.

Showed up at 3pm on a Wednesday hoping to look at slabs. Store was locked, and nobody answered the phone. Posted hours are M-​F 7:30am — 4pm. Guess I won’t be buying from them.

They were the least expensive bid I received for Cambria countertops after comparing to 4 other local shops. Showed up exactly when they said they would, my countertops look amazing, and they were very professional and easy to work with. Took 7 days from the time they removed the countertops till the new ones were installed but they put the plywood down when they removed the old counters so it wasn’t that much of an inconvenience. Highly recommend!

Truly professional, awesome quality work, affordable prices, and easy to deal with. Really, could you ask for more? Custom Stone was recommended by one of my co-​workers, who had a Caesarstone tabletop fabricated by them.
We contacted them for a vanity countertop. I wanted a specific color of Caesarstone quartz and they said, «no problem.» Other shops had large minimum orders or required that you bought an entire slab. Other quotes we got were nearly twice as much! Yikes!
Customer service was outstanding. I must have e-​mailed Dimitar a dozen times, at least, and he always got back to me within a day. They have electronic purchase agreements (like in real estate), which made it very convenient to authorize the work. We mailed them a check for the deposit. They came right on time for the templating and the installation.
Originally, I selected a mitered edge, but changed my mind and got the laminated eased edge, at their advice. The mitered edge is prone to chipping and difficult to repair. We were worried that we’d see a seam. However, they reassured us that the seams are undetectable with quartz. And they were right! The finished countertop was exactly the right size (no cutting needed at our house) and the edge was perfect. The installers were careful to drape dropcloths to protect the carpet and cleaned up all of their mess. They had the whole thing done in about an hour.
Definitely check them out first for any countertop work you might need. :)

Custom Stone is the real deal. I’ve worked with a lot of stone fabricators throughout my building career, and Dimitar and Peytcho (sp) are hands down the best. Their pricing was not the cheapest, but competitive. Dimitar is very accessible and a great communicator, and he was very helpful in fast-​tracking my current project. From bid to install, Dimitar and his team were as good as it gets in the building industry. Custom Stone will be my go-​to shop for all future projects. Well done.

I’ve worked with Dimitar and Peytcho exclusively for many years and they are the best. We are design build cabinet makers and have deep appreciation for subs that can meet our high quality expectations. Trust me when I say that you want a quality countertop sub. They always meet standards of excellence.
One last kudos for their business. Countertops are heavy. Custom Stone has never broken or damaged any of their work during install, nor have they damaged any part of our customers houses. They have a perfect track record on over 15+ jobs completed for our customers.

These guys are awesome. I just had a kitchen peninsula built and these guys installed the countertop and backsplash. Great customer service, always on time, and the countertop was cut and fit PERFECTLY!
I worked with Dmitri, Peytcho, and Tony. All were courteous and very professional. They come highly recommended by me.

This review is written on behalf of my father who’s a luddite but understand the value of Unilocal:
I was heading to get some flooring material from Lumber Liquidator in San Leandro and accidentally ended up in the showroom of Custom Stone. Because I was in the middle of remodling my kitchen and bathrooms, I naturally asked if they sold granite or stones. They only do fabrication. One of the first thing I noticed was that all the machines were working and wet. This is a good sign of being busy especially in these tough times.
Dimitr (the owner) and his partner showed me all the stones they had available and recommended their trusted sources/​suppliers so we can have the most variety. Dimitr even offered to get me his wholesale price from the suppliers and fabricate the stones at a competitive rate.
After spending an hour and a half I forgot about the lumber my wife told me to get. I hurried home to tell my wife about Dimitr’s showroom. She was more impressed than me with the variety of every stone.
Dimitr made it so easy for us, that all we had to do was bring in measurements and he’d even haul the stone to his fabrication facility. They fabricated the granite with only one seam (17′ x 20′).
I had an fantastic experience with Dimitr and his team. They were professional, flexible, on-​time and on budget. Because they did such a great job in the kitchen, it gave me the incentive to fabricate the vanities and countertops.
I’ve already recommended Custom Stone to my friends and want to do so here.

How good are they? So good that I would sign up for Unilocal and post my first review.
Dimitar and Peytcho are true professionals and craftsman. I recently hired them to install a series of countertops that had all of the difficult details that were on offer; integral sink (mitered to the countertop), waterfall edges with open overhang vertical inside ends (where the counter extends down the sides of the cabinet to rest on the floor) and inset counters with unusual cuts. Only experienced installers need apply.
They completed beautiful work and spent days on site getting it just right. Great customer service from beginning to end. Highly recommended.

Custom Stone is easy to work with and works with customers to meet budgets.
While not able to afford the installed counter top options, Custom Stone was able to offer other options to deliver customer satisfaction for quality material. Dimitri cares about the customer’s outcome and carefully explains the process to install a quality counter top. A visit to his shop will tell you — he is not just a salesperson. He knows the material, the prep, cut and finish of everything he does.
Working with Dimitri also means great customer service as he sets realistic expectations and communicates by email, phone or both to let you know what is happening.
Highly recommended.
