Countertops for Santa Monica Homes and Condos
Santa Monica mixes Spanish and mid-century houses, coastal cottages, modern remodels and a large share of condominiums and multi-unit buildings. Kitchens here are often compact and open to living areas, so the countertop is on show.
Our free in-home consultation looks at your space, your light and how close you are to the ocean, then we help you choose stone at MSI Surfaces, Natural Stone Resources or any slab yard. Fabrication happens in our own shop.

Homes in Santa Monica
The projects we plan for
General notes on the kinds of homes and projects common in Santa Monica. Your consultation covers the specifics of your house.
Condos and multi-unit buildings
Condo remodels mean HOA approvals, elevator or stair access, protected common areas and set hours. Tell us your building's requirements early.
Open kitchens
Compact, open kitchens make islands and peninsulas the focal point. Consistent quartz or a soft-veined quartzite often suits them.
Outdoor living
Patios and outdoor kitchens are a big part of coastal living. Outdoor surfaces should be materials the supplier lists for exterior use.
Local considerations
Planning a project in Santa Monica
Access, building rules and home age affect scheduling and installation day. We go over them during the free in-home consultation.
Coastal air
Salt air and moisture near the ocean are hard on outdoor surfaces and metal fixtures. For outdoor kitchens we focus on stone and porcelain listed for exterior use and give care guidance.
Building access
Smaller elevators and stairwells can limit slab size. We plan piece sizes and seams around how the stone gets in.
Parking
Permit parking and busy streets affect delivery, so we plan installation day logistics in advance.

Our process
How your project works
No showroom visit needed. We come to you, you choose your slab where you like, and our own team fabricates and installs it.
Free in-home consultation
We come to you. In your kitchen, bath or backyard we look at the space, take preliminary measurements, talk through layout, edges, sinks and overhangs, and review material options with you. Your estimate follows from this visit, at no cost.
Slab selection
Pick your slab at MSI Surfaces or Natural Stone Resources, where we are an authorized dealer, or at any other slab yard you like. With natural stone, the slab you choose is the slab we fabricate, so we'll tell you what to check before you commit: size, thickness, finish and how the veining will fall across your layout.
Templating
Once cabinets or bases are set, we template the exact surfaces: walls, corners, appliance openings and fixture locations. Templating sets every cut, seam and overhang.
In-house fabrication
Your slab is cut, edged and finished in GlamourStone's own fabrication shop: sink and cooktop cutouts, edge profiles, mitered waterfall joints and the vein layout we agreed on.
Installation
Our team sets, levels, seams and finishes the stone in your home, prepares openings for your plumber, cleans up and walks you through care for your specific material.
FAQ
Common questions
Ask us anything else during your free in-home consultation.
What countertop works best for an outdoor kitchen near the beach?
Choose materials the supplier lists for exterior use, such as certain granites and porcelain slabs, and follow care guidance for coastal conditions. We'll go over options in person.
Can a slab fit in my building's elevator?
Sometimes not as one piece. We measure the access route and plan piece sizes and seams to suit.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. We come to your home in Santa Monica for a free consultation and estimate. There's no showroom; you choose your slab at MSI, NSR or any slab yard.
