TopStone Granite fabricates and installs commercial countertops for general contractors, property managers and business owners across the Baltimore region. We build reception desks, breakroom counters, restroom vanities, retail counters and apartment kitchen tops in granite and quartz.
Commercial work runs on drawings, schedules and paperwork as much as on stone. We bid from your plans, verify dimensions in the field before cutting, and install around your tenants, your trades and your opening date.
Our team has 15+ years of experience and more than 650 completed jobs. TopStone is licensed under MHIC #145977, fully insured, and open seven days a week for installs that cannot happen during business hours.
Commercial countertops take more abuse than residential ones, and they often have to look identical across many rooms or locations. We fabricate and install tops for:
Food service work has its own rules, so we cover it on a dedicated restaurant countertops page. For homes, see our residential countertop installation service.
In commercial spaces, the right surface is the one that survives the traffic, the cleaning crew's chemicals and the need for consistency. Here is how the main options compare.
Quartz gives you a uniform color that looks the same on day one and year ten, with no sealing. It stands up well to the disinfectants used in offices and clinics.
Its weak spot is heat. Keep coffee makers, hot plates and toaster ovens on a trivet or mat, and avoid harsh, high-pH cleaners that manufacturers warn against. Learn more on our quartz countertops page.
Granite is a strong value choice for property managers outfitting many units. Common colors are widely available, and the stone handles heat and heavy use.
It does need periodic sealing, which fits easily into a turnover routine. See granite countertops for colors and finishes.
For quartz, consistency comes from ordering one color code and, on larger projects, from as few production runs as possible. For granite, it comes from choosing a uniform stone and pulling slabs from the same lot.
We plan slab quantities at bid stage so every unit or location gets material that matches. Long runs such as multi-sink restroom vanities also get planned seam matching so the joints read cleanly.
We understand that the countertop is one line on a long schedule. Here is how we fit into a commercial project:
Public-facing counters usually have to meet the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Your architect or designer sets the final heights, and we build to them. These are the key figures from the standards:
| Element | 2010 ADA Standards requirement |
|---|---|
| Accessible work surfaces (902.3) | Top 28 to 34 inches above the finish floor |
| Sales or service counter, parallel approach (904.4.1) | A portion at least 36 inches long and no higher than 36 inches |
| Sales or service counter, forward approach (904.4.2) | A portion at least 30 inches long and no higher than 36 inches, with knee and toe space |
| Knee clearance (306.3) | At least 27 inches high and 30 inches wide under the counter |
| Toe clearance (306.2) | Up to 9 inches above the floor, extending at least 17 inches under the counter |
| Lavatories (606.3) | Rim or counter surface no higher than 34 inches |
The accessible section of a service counter must extend the full depth of the counter top. Because stone thickness adds to the cabinet height, we check finished heights at template so the installed top lands inside the allowed range.
A commercial counter fails in different places than a kitchen counter. These are the details we plan for on public-facing and shared surfaces:
Commercial pricing is built from quantities in the drawings, plus the conditions on site. The main drivers are:
Our countertop cost guide explains how these drivers work on residential jobs, and your written bid itemizes them for your project.
Commercial jobs follow a tighter, more documented sequence than residential work:
Our shop is open seven days a week, which helps when an install has to happen outside business hours.
A reception desk is often the first thing visitors see. A company logo or accent band cut into the stone turns a plain counter into part of your brand. See our custom countertop inlays page for how logo work is designed and fabricated.
Yes. TopStone is fully insured, and we provide a certificate of insurance naming your company or property owner before work begins. Send your insurance requirements with your bid request so we can confirm them up front.
Yes. We price from plans and finish schedules, then measure in the field once cabinets and casework are installed. Field verification catches the small differences between drawings and built conditions before any stone is cut.
In many cases, yes. Our shop is open seven days a week, and evening or weekend installs can keep your office, store or lobby open during the day. Ask about scheduling when you request your bid.
Quartz is the most common choice because it is nonporous, needs no sealing and tolerates frequent wiping with many disinfectants. Check the manufacturer's care guide against the products your staff uses, since some harsh chemicals can dull the surface. Keep autoclaves and other heat sources on a protective pad.
Yes. We template and fabricate in batches, label every piece by unit, and install on a schedule that matches your turnover calendar. Between turnovers, chipped or stained tops in occupied units can often be fixed with countertop repair instead of replacement.
Email your drawings, finish schedule and target dates to info@topstonegranite.com, or call to talk through scope and scheduling. We will follow up with questions and a written bid.
