Imagine standing in your kitchen, running your hand across a surface that looks luxurious, feels durable, and makes the whole space shine. Countertops set the tone for your home, but finding the right surface starts with choosing the right supplier. The stone itself is important, but the team you trust to guide you through the process matters just as much. At Design Surfaces, we help Cleveland homeowners, contractors, and designers select countertops that fit both their vision and lifestyle. Your countertops should inspire you daily, and working with a trusted supplier ensures that vision becomes reality.
When it comes to countertops, the supplier you choose is just as important as the material itself. The right partner will not only provide premium stone but also guide you through the process with transparency, expertise, and support. Asking the right questions upfront helps you avoid hidden costs, prevent design mistakes, and ensure your new surfaces look stunning for years to come.
Below are the key questions every homeowner, designer, or contractor should ask before committing to a countertop supplier.
A small piece of stone cannot tell the whole story. What looks subtle in a sample can feel bold across an island, and veining can look entirely different once you see the entire slab.
Full slab viewing ensures you know exactly what is going into your home. At our Westlake showroom, we let you walk through entire slabs of quartz, granite, marble, quartzite, and dolomite, and soapstone. This prevents surprises and helps you plan your project with complete confidence.
A reliable supplier should offer more than one or two surface types. Each material has unique strengths, and limiting your choices can limit your project. Look for a supplier that offers a wide selection, including:
When you visit our Cleveland showroom, you can compare these materials side by side and learn which one works best for your lifestyle, whether that means cooking nightly meals, entertaining guests, or creating a quiet spa retreat.
Countertops do not exist in isolation. They should complement cabinetry, flooring, and hardware to create a unified design. This is where expertise matters.
At Design Surfaces, our team provides personalized design guidance, helping you match undertones, explore edge profiles, and visualize how surfaces will look in your space. This saves time and helps avoid expensive mistakes.
No one likes hidden costs. Unfortunately, some suppliers quote only the slab price and leave you with add-ons for fabrication, sink cutouts, or installation.
A trustworthy supplier will explain:
At Design Surfaces, we believe transparency builds trust. Our team walks you through every step so you know exactly what to expect from day one.
Not every project requires a full slab. Smaller leftover pieces, known as remnants, are perfect for creating affordable upgrades throughout your home.
Smart uses for remnants:
Our Westlake warehouse includes a rotating inventory of remnants, giving Cleveland homeowners access to premium stone at lower prices.
Many remodels involve more than one professional. Your countertop supplier should communicate clearly with contractors and designers, ensuring measurements, timelines, and expectations align.
Design Surfaces has built long-standing relationships with Cleveland contractors and designers. They rely on us for accuracy, responsive communication, and design expertise that helps projects run smoothly.
Every stone has different upkeep needs. Knowing this before you buy helps you choose wisely.
We explain maintenance clearly during the selection process so Cleveland homeowners know exactly what to expect long term.
Not all suppliers offer the same level of service. Ask what makes their process unique.
