Soapstone countertops in Austin start with the slab.
CRS is a wholesale stone distributor at 2301 Scarbrough Dr in North Austin, open to the public with free consultations, no appointment needed. Walk the floor, pick your exact soapstoneslab by lot and serial number, and we place it on hold: two weeks for most materials, 72 hours for pieces in especially high demand. Your fabricator then purchases the held slab, templates your space, and cuts and installs the countertop, usually days to weeks later. We stay available long after the last slab is set. That’s what a family distributor is for.
Soapstone works especially well in kitchens, hearths, and warm, lived-in looks.
We serve Austin, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Leander and the surrounding Hill Country.
