Schedule a template date to measure your project. At California Stone Works we use wood templates so we can place
your templates directly on the slab during the cutting process to insure a custom fitting project. In addition,
we can usually template over your existing tile counter tops to minimize your kitchen down time during the
fabrication of your slabs.
