Why Get Your Countertops From a Cabinet Maker?
Most homeowners hire one company for cabinets and another for countertops. The result is finger-pointing, misaligned measurements, and seams that don't sit flush. At First Class WoodWorks, we manage your entire remodel — including granite countertop selection and installation — so every component is measured, built, and installed as one coordinated project.
When our cabinet makers build your custom kitchen cabinetry, we already know the exact countertop dimensions, sink cutout locations, and edge profiles before the granite fabricator ever touches the slab. That level of coordination is impossible when you're juggling separate contractors.
Master Cabinet Maker Pro-Tip:
"Always select your granite slab in person at the yard — photos never capture the true veining and color. We take our clients to hand-pick their exact slab so there are zero surprises. Each piece of natural stone is unique, and you deserve to choose the one that speaks to you."

Our Countertop Process
We don't just drop a slab on your cabinets. Every countertop installation is part of a carefully coordinated remodeling project.
In-Home Consultation & Slab Selection
We discuss your design vision, bring samples to your home, and accompany you to the stone yard to hand-select your exact slab. You see and approve the actual piece of granite going into your kitchen.
Precision Templating
After your custom cabinets are installed, we laser-template the countertop for a perfect fit. Sink cutouts, cooktop openings, and edge profiles are measured to the millimeter.
Professional Fabrication
Your slab is cut, polished, and edge-profiled using CNC and water-jet technology. Undermount sink cutouts are reinforced for long-term structural integrity.
Installation & Sealing
The finished countertop is set, leveled, and sealed on-site. Seams are color-matched and virtually invisible. Plumbing reconnection is coordinated as part of the full remodel.
Granite Countertops for Every Room
While the kitchen is the most popular room for granite, we install countertops throughout the home as part of our remodeling services:
- ✓ Kitchen Countertops — Islands, perimeter counters, waterfall edges, and breakfast bars in granite, quartz, or quartzite.
- ✓ Bathroom Vanity Tops — Custom-cut granite and marble tops for master bath vanities, double-sink units, and powder rooms.
- ✓ Outdoor Kitchens — Weather-resistant natural stone for BBQ surrounds and outdoor bar tops, built to handle the Temecula Valley sun.
- ✓ Butler's Pantries & Wet Bars — Quartz and granite surfaces paired with our custom cabinetry for seamless entertaining spaces.
