Recent Austin Granite Jobs for REALTORS

We do a lot of work for Justin Lindenmuth, a local REALTOR and property investor/flipper. Justin has a great eye for the type of granite that fits with a particular type of property – just the right choice to balance price and style.

Here are a few of his recent listings that feature granite installed by Toluca Granite:

8304 Weyburn Dr, Austin, TX

2116 Bindon Dr, Cedar Park, TX

2901 Goodwin Ave, Austin, TX

We recently had the privileged of working with a homeowner in Northwest Austin when they remodeled the kitchen in their 1980s home. The light wood cabinets were in great shape and the configuration of the kitchen suited the homeowners well. The addition of Absolute Black Granite brings this kitchen into the year 2010 and provides the gorgeous counters that are in such high demand in established neighborhoods such as this one where the original counters were laminate, or occasionally tile.

Tumbled Stone Back Splash

This kitchen also had a tumbled stone back splash set on the diagonal.

This type of tile set takes more time and patience but looks fabulous when done, especially with the occasional inset black granite tiles. The edge on this granite is full bull nose. This kitchen required two slabs of 3 cm granite – the photos don’t show well that in addition to the long sink counter, island and cook top counter, the kitchen also has a large breakfast counter.

The photos illustrate, beautifully, how many different places the marble (or granite) can go in this small space – on the multi-level counters and on the backsplash, and in a little j-shaped slice on the other side of the room on top of a glass block wall (the pictures of that wall has too many artifacts in them to post here!). The edge profile on this marble is 1/2-inch bevel, one of the most popular edges due to its simplicity and timelessness.

This marble is especially attractive with a vessel sink because the sink permits maximum counter space and showcases the complexity of this material – the coloration, veining and movement, which all add character to this Emperador Dark marble counter.

This Windsor Park home has dark wood floors, travertine all over the place and a very consistent, welcoming and warm feeling.
