Marble Countertops

Marble countertops offer timeless elegance with unique veining patterns. Our honed and polished options provide heat resistance and durability for kitchens and bathrooms. Each slab is sealed to prevent staining while maintaining its luxurious appearance. Homeowners appreciate marble's ability to enhance resale value and its practicality for pastry work when chilled.

Quartz Countertops

Quartz countertops combine crushed stone and resins for non-porous, stain-resistant surfaces. Available in consistent colors and patterns, they suit contemporary spaces. Our brands include Caesarstone and Silestone. Unlike natural stone, quartz requires minimal maintenance while offering durability for high-traffic areas like kitchens.

Granite Countertops

Granite countertops feature natural veining and exceptional durability. Formed from cooled magma, our slabs withstand heat and scratches. With light to dark color options, granite adds luxury to kitchens and bathrooms. Each slab is unique, ensuring one-of-a-kind installations that boost home value.

Quartzite Countertops

Quartzite countertops blend marble's aesthetic with granite's durability. This metamorphic stone resists etching and staining, making it ideal for kitchens. Available in varied densities and hues, it offers a sophisticated look. Our team ensures proper sealing to maintain its polished finish over time.

Onyx Countertops

Onyx countertops add dramatic flair with their translucent properties. Often backlit for illumination, they create striking bathroom vanities or bar tops. Our polished onyx surfaces highlight crystalline patterns. While softer than granite, proper care ensures longevity in low-traffic decorative applications.

After much research regarding the type of natural stone we wanted for our kitchen and the importance of fabrication, we decided to visit Fordham Marble. Mayson, immediately greeted us with much enthusiasm and attention. We were specifically interested in Taj Mahal quartzite. Within less than an hour, we decided to contract with Fordham Marble. We look forward to picking out our slab as the project moves along.

We anticipate that Fordham will perform a wonderful job precision cutting the slab, installing it and spending time with us to select the slab perfect for us. We look forward to our continuing relationship with Mayson and crew! Many thanks, Joan and Brent.

Snobby, will not tell you the names of anything or let you write down what you like. They assume that you will buy from them so they keep all of the tile and marble ideas to themselves. Not worth going there to get ideas.

Disaster. They had several issues with product and pricing, then became simply rude and unprofessional. If anything goes wrong they accuse you or wrong doing. They offer big price discounts when asked which get them to a fair price. There are a lot of good places to work with, my experience with this crew is buyer beware and as long as there are no issues you are fine. If anything goes wrong the owner is rude and unprofessional. When done with this crew you will need to take a shower, stay away.

Had a small kitchen project, sales people were very helpful but what arrived after I payed full price was horrible. Inaccurate measurements, bad install, huge Seams and wrong depth for one piece of countertop. Replaced one piece and still it was wrong. Horrible beyond words and difficult reprise to get it fixed. Still not resolved as they dismissed me. If you have average job, please don't use Fordham. Horrible service to resolve if not ever.have photos should you want to see their install.

I have never been treated this badly! The Sales Manager overpromised and could not deliver. I had a rather small job and was told that I could see samples within a week. When I reached out 8 days later, I was told that samples are not available for me to see and that the timing was out of his control. That same person reiterated a few times that it was a small job and basically a waste of his time. So rude! Well, he lost a small job, but he also lost a big job in the future. Please save yourself some time and go elsewhere. There are better places out there!

We hired Fordham Marble to replace our existing kitchen counter tops. The morning of the install two men arrive bright and early. Upon entering the house we were told the existing tops needed to be removed. What? After a call to the office add $1000.00 Once they finished and left we started putting back the cabinet draws. Guess what. Yes two draws won't close because they don't fit under the new counter. What? Another call to the office and.you guessed it we were told we need to hire a carpenter to fix the draws. What? Buyer beware!

I cannot say enough about our experience at Fordham Marble. We went to a number of places to look for countertops and a backsplash, but no one could match the selection or the personal service we received at Fordham. Mayson was amazing in helping us find the exact right stone - and really honest about what he thought would and wouldn't work with our design. (That kind of honesty is priceless.) Then, once we chose our counters, the measuring, fabrication and installation was flawless. We're thrilled with how things turned out, and I would recommend Fordham Marble to anyone.
