Mill & Mason — Custom Countertops

Process

A considered process, start to finish.

Premium results come from planning, not luck. Each step is deliberate — and connects naturally to browsing inventory or quoting yourself whenever you're ready.

Six Steps

What to expect.

From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, you'll always know what's next.

  1. The Mill & Mason showroom in Maple Grove

    Consultation

    We learn your space, your style, and how you use it — in the showroom or over a call. Bring measurements or ideas; we'll take it from there.

  2. A full quartzite slab — the real thing before you commit

    Material Selection

    Choose color, finish, edge, and surface with guidance. Browse our inventory online first, then confirm the real slab in person.

  3. Stainless steel farmhouse apron sink

    Sink Selection

    We finalize your sink — type, size, and reveal — along with faucet and hole layout, backsplash, and edge profile, so nothing is left to chance.

  4. Measurement

    Once cabinets are set, we measure on-site for an exact fit. Precise templates mean clean seams and tight tolerances.

  5. Fabrication

    Slabs are laid out for grain and color, then cut, with sink cutouts, seams, and edges shaped to plan.

  6. A finished Mill & Mason kitchen installation

    Installation

    Your surfaces are set level, seamed, and sealed — handled with care and respect for your home. We finish with a walkthrough and care guidance, making sure every detail meets the mark.

Questions we hear

Process questions, answered

What happens between the first conversation and the finished kitchen.

How does a countertop project run?

Six steps: consultation, material selection, sink selection, measurement, fabrication and installation. Each is described above, and you will know the next date at every hand-off.

When do you measure?

Once the cabinets are installed and level and the sink, cooktop and faucet are on site or specified, so the template captures the real room rather than a drawing.

What if a wall is out of square?

The measurement captures it, so the stone is cut to the room. Seams and overhangs are planned around it before anything is cut.

How do you decide where seams go?

By slab size, grain direction and support: seams sit where they are least visible and best supported, and we review the layout with you before cutting. The seams article on our blog goes deeper.

How should I care for the countertop afterwards?

Warm water and a mild cleaner for quartz; natural stone is sealed at installation and resealed on a schedule that depends on the stone. The sealing guide on our blog covers it.
