Serving Stratford, CT · On the town line

Stratford's countertop shop is basically next door.

CMG — Cornerstone Marble & Granite — sits in Bridgeport's East End, right at the Stratford line. For most of town we're under ten minutes away, which makes slab visits, template appointments and installs about as easy as they get. We fabricate granite, quartz, quartzite, marble, porcelain and soapstone, all in-house.

From Lordship to Paradise Green

Stratford's capes and raised ranches make for tidy, fast kitchen refits — quartz or granite counters with an undermount sink, often installed in a single morning. Near the water in Lordship, outdoor kitchens are the fun ones: there we spec porcelain or granite, never quartz, because sun discolors the resin that binds it.

Vanities, fireplace surrounds, laundry tops and remnant pieces round out the list — being this close means even a small job is worth the trip for both of us.

Granite or quartz for a Stratford refit?

For a quick kitchen refit, granite and engineered quartz are the two most common choices, and the difference is practical. Granite is natural stone: very hard, unbothered by a hot pan, and most lighter colors benefit from sealing. Quartz is manufactured: consistent from slab to slab and never needs sealing, but the resin scorches, so trivets are a must.

The sink matters as much as the stone. An undermount sink gives a clean edge you can wipe straight into the bowl, and the exposed cutout is polished in our shop, which is why it costs a little more than a drop-in.

How it works

Come pick your slab at the yard. Once cabinets are set we digitally template, cut and finish in our own shop, and install — template to install typically runs one to two weeks, and being neighbors makes scheduling simple.

Start with the slab

The showroom and slab yard at 46 Beatrice St, Bridgeport is open by appointment — just off the Stratford line. Call 203-717-1978 or email hello@cmgstones.com.

Stratford countertop questions

When can I visit the yard? By appointment, Monday to Friday 8 AM to 5 PM and Saturday 9 AM to 1 PM, at 46 Beatrice St, Unit 3, just over the Bridgeport line.

How long from template to install? Typically one to two weeks, and most kitchens install in a single day.

Will you take a small job, like one vanity? Yes. A single vanity or a bar top can often come from a remnant, which keeps the cost down.
