Natural stone slabs. Free templating. Installed by our crew.
Unlike engineered surfaces, granite is permanent in a specific sense. The slab cut from a quarry in Brazil or India is the exact piece that ends up in your kitchen. No two are alike. The pattern, the mineral deposits, the movement of color through the stone -- that's the actual geology of one location on earth. Olafab Cabinetry sources granite directly from distributors, which means you come to our Houston stone yard and pick your actual slab before fabrication begins.
We carry more than 50 colors in stock at any given time. Some homeowners spend twenty minutes choosing. Others take two hours. Either way, you're picking the real thing, not a small chip sample or a photo on a website. Once you decide, we template, cut, and finish in-house. There's no third-party fabricator and no middleman between the slab and your kitchen.
Kitchen countertops take a lot of use. Granite handles it well. The surface is hard, heat resistant, and holds up to daily prep work without showing wear the way softer materials do. Olafab Cabinetry installs granite on perimeter counters, kitchen islands, and window sills. Every job includes your choice of edge profile and a professional seal at install. We bring the tools, set the stone, and clean up when we leave.
Granite works in bathrooms too. We cut single and double sink openings for undermount or drop-in basins, and finish the surface in polished or honed depending on your preference. Polished granite reflects light and shows the color clearly. Honed gives a matte finish that hides water spots more easily. Both hold up well in a bathroom environment. We handle the templating, cutout, and installation.
Most countertop companies take your order, send it to a fabrication shop across town, and hand off the install to a subcontractor. Olafab Cabinetry does not work that way. Our team handles everything from the first measurement to the final seal coat. That means one point of contact, tighter tolerances, and no gaps in accountability when something needs to be adjusted.
In-house fabrication also means faster turnaround. We are not waiting on a third-party shop's schedule. Once your slab is selected, we move it through our production process on our own timeline. Most Houston countertop jobs are complete within two weeks of slab selection.
Granite has natural variation. The slab you see in a photo on a website is not the slab you will receive. It might be close, but it will not be identical. Olafab Cabinetry handles this differently. When you come to our Houston stone yard, you walk through the inventory with one of our team members and put your hand on the actual piece of stone. You see how the light moves across it, where the veining runs, and whether the color matches your cabinets or flooring.
Once you tag your slab, it gets set aside for your job only. Nobody else gets that piece. From there, we template your countertop precisely and cut directly from your chosen stone. The slab you selected is the countertop you receive. That level of control is worth the trip to the yard, and most Houston homeowners find the visit takes less than an hour.
The edge of a granite countertop is more visible than most people expect. Eased, beveled, bullnose, ogee, waterfall -- each profile changes how the stone reads in the room. A squared eased edge looks clean and modern. A full bullnose softens the line and works well in traditional kitchens. Olafab Cabinetry offers a range of profiles and we keep physical samples you can look at before deciding. We do not upsell elaborate profiles for their own sake; we help you pick what fits the design.
Sink cutouts are included in our standard fabrication for kitchen and bathroom jobs. Undermount cutouts require precise work so the sink sits tight against the stone with no gap. We cut these with CNC equipment and test the fit before delivery. If your sink has unusual dimensions, bring the specs or the sink itself to the yard when you come to select your slab.
Olafab Cabinetry has been fabricating and installing granite countertops in Houston for over fifteen years. In that time we have worked in new construction, full kitchen remodels, and simple countertop replacements. The scope of the job does not change how we approach the work. Templating is always done on-site. Cuts are verified before installation day. Every surface gets sealed before we leave.
We do not cut corners on material sourcing either. Our granite comes from established importers who source from quarries in Brazil, India, and Europe. The slab inventory at our Houston yard turns over regularly, which means fresh options each time a customer comes in. If you are looking for a specific color that we do not have in stock, we can usually source it within one to two weeks.

Granite is a natural fit for kitchens. It tolerates heat from pots and pans better than engineered surfaces, resists scratching from daily prep, and adds real material character to a kitchen remodel. Olafab Cabinetry installs kitchen granite on perimeter counters, peninsulas, and islands.
Granite holds up well in bathroom environments. We cut single or double sink openings, accommodate undermount or drop-in basins, and finish in polished or honed. A granite vanity top lasts decades with minimal maintenance beyond an occasional reseal.
An island is often the most visible countertop surface in a kitchen. Granite's natural veining gives each island a distinct look. We can match the island stone to your perimeter counters or use a contrasting color. Waterfall edges and thick profiles are available on request.
From your first call to the final cleanup, here is how a granite countertop project works at Olafab Cabinetry in Houston.
I visited three stone yards before coming to Olafab Cabinetry. The difference was that here I could actually walk the slab inventory and choose my piece. The Santa Cecilia I picked looks exactly like what I saw in the yard. The installation team was clean and professional. The countertops have been in for eight months and they look the same as the day they were installed.
As a contractor, I need a fabricator who can turn around accurate cuts on time. Olafab Cabinetry has done granite for three of my clients and the templating has been exact every time. No callbacks, no gap issues, no surprises on install day. I will keep sending work to them.
We did both the kitchen and the master bath in Black Galaxy granite. Olafab Cabinetry helped us match the veining direction so the two rooms feel connected. I did not expect that level of care from a countertop company. The price was fair and the work was done in one day. Very happy with the result.
