Fort Wayne, IN -- Surface Encounters granite countertop manufacturers have invested over one million dollars in high tech natural stone fabricating equipment. All cutting and shaping of the granite countertop is automated; therefore, eliminating human error and resulting in a perfect cut and finish.

Granite countertops add beauty and elegance to kitchens and bathrooms. Their long-lasting durability, upscale looks and superior performance makes Granite countertops a wise investment. Granite countertops will last for generations, will not wear, fade or go out of style.

According to Chuck Russo, owner of Surface Encounters, over 95% of granite fabricators are still cutting and shaping the stone by hand. One reason for this is that the high-tech, automated equipment is very expensive. “We believe our investment in the equipment was well worth the cost because it allows us to provide high-quality work with a fast turn-around time to ensure customer satisfaction and price assurance,” said Russo.

Surface Encounters invests in the equipment where other companies continue using the old-school, hands-on methods which lead to errors and create installation problems. Paying employees to hand cut and finish the edge of a granite countertop takes time and money; therefore, creating payroll cost and allowing imperfections. No matter how experienced the technician is, a perfect cut and finish is impossible to attain with human beings using hand tools.

Surface Encounters is able to manufacture Granite countertops quicker than the average company without errors and imperfections. Their use of computer controlled equipment allows the company to save money on labor costs and pass the savings onto the customer.

Surface Encounters invites consumers to visit a showroom to learn more about the advanced process of fabricating quality granite countertops, quartz, marble and other natural stone surfaces. For convenience, they are open 7 days a week.
