soapstone dealer(s) in chicago area?
Comments (12)Oldhousegal, I am in Portland, Ore! I haven't gotten the soapstone yet -- just ordered it on Monday. They told me it will take 2-3 days to leave the warehouse, and then another 5-10 days of transit. Our cabinets will be here in 2 weeks, so I was holding off on getting the soapstone until we had an ETA on the cabinets so that we didn't have too much construction stuff clogging up our staging area (the garage). I will post pics once the stone comes, though! I ordered 4 slabs of Barocca. I was also told by several places that soapstone was not readily available in Portland, but you can find it at Pentel (on NW Yeon). You can visit their warehouse and see the slabs in person -- the slabs are beautiful, but they only have one variety. The frustrating thing is that Pentel only works with fabricators, so they will give you a list of fabricators, but won't tell you how much a slab costs! Annoying. Our contractor has an account through CFM, who is one of the fabricators on the list at Pentel, so we asked them for a quote -- they said it was going to be $4,700 for the soapstone, including installation. Ordering from Texiera and getting my carpenters (who I love) to cut and install will cost about half of that. So far I have been pretty impressed with Texiera. They have been very responsive to my emails, and phone calls. The sample pack that I ordered arrived within a few days, and they were happy to answer all of my questions. I ordered my slabs, but could not find a way to order the tinted epoxy w/o ordering the entire DIY kit (my carpenters have the necessary blades already), so I emailed them -- they got back to me within 10 minutes and added just the epoxy to my order....See MoreSoapstone in Chicago

Comments (5)Here’s a thought. I purchased my soapstone from M. Teixeira which was located in another state. (I believe they have/had a few locations across the country.) They have partnerships with other soapstone companies for installation. Teixeira sent my selected soapstone slabs to a local fabricator, who fabricated and installed a perfect countertop, including runnels. Again, just a thought....See MoreCorian fabricator/installer in Chicago area?
Comments (5)I would recommend Sprovieri Custom Countertops in Addison. They do quite a bit of commercial Corian fabrication and some of their stuff is amazing. I was there a couple years ago and their factory was hopping and filled with expensive equipment. They have the technical knowledge but haven't lost the artistic touch....See MoreSkippack Tile & Stone
