Stokes Granite & Stone recently completed a beautiful kitchen renovation centered around both style and function. The project included a full backsplash and two functional islands, creating a layout designed to serve as a striking focal point within the home. With a goal of achieving a timeless yet distinctive look, the homeowners chose a natural stone design that would bring character, elegance, and lasting value to their kitchen.
Location: Sacramento, CA
For this project, the homeowners selected Monte Cristo Granite, a natural stone known for its detailed patterns and graceful movement. The granite was finished with a satin texture, giving it a soft, matte appearance that highlights the stone’s natural depth while creating a smooth feel. This material and finish combination offered the ideal balance of durability and modern style, helping create a cohesive and inviting kitchen space.

“We had our second project done with Stokes. Everything went smooth and installers did whole kitchen countertop and back splash done in a day and cleaned the space before leaving. The fabricator discount that Stokes gave us while buying the slabs helped us a lot to save money and to buy the slabs that we liked. Overall; I am happy working with them and I will reach out to them for any future project we may have.“

“Stokes just installed new quartz countertops in my kitchen, laundry room and half bathroom. What a transformation to my house! The installation crew did an outstanding job. They were careful, courteous, friendly, and it was fun to watch the pros at work. Mike did a perfect job making the templates. Ashley was delightful to work with on all the paperwork and scheduling. I couldn’t be happier with everyone at Stokes. I happily give the my highest recommendation and would call them first in the future!“
