Today, I wanted to share some helpful tips and insight on how to choose a marble slab for your renovation. From cost and color to veining, finish, fabrication, and maintenance.

Knowing what you’re looking for can be helpful, as well as having a set budget- as marble pricing varies greatly.
Schedule an Appointment
Your first step in finding a great marble slab is to locate your local natural stone retailers or slab yards.
Arrive Equipped

Don’t show up to your appointment empty-handed. Some slab yards are indoors, while others are outside- so you’ll want to dress accordingly.
Marble Pricing

If a slab has few geological flaws, good coloring, and optimal veining- it’s considered grade A marble. As you might guess… those slabs are more expensive.
Money Saving Tips

If the slab size you need is on the smaller side, be sure to ask if any remnants are available in the marble type you’re looking for.
After You’ve Found Your Marble Slab

Once you’ve found the right slab for your renovation, be sure to ask to put a hold on the slab.
I hope this post is really helpful if you find yourself shopping for a marble slab… which is my preferred kind of renovation shopping!
