Coral Gables was planned in the 1920s around Mediterranean Revival homes, barrel-tile roofs and coral rock walls, and it still guards that look closely. Griffin Quartz is a family-owned quartz countertop installer in Boca Raton, led by founder Esley Fleitas, who has worked in stone for more than 20 years. We help Gables homeowners choose quartz countertops that suit the house. Our partner, Englert Arts, cuts them in Boca Raton, and our own crew installs them.
Coral Gables is roughly an hour and a quarter from Boca Raton, more at rush hour. We bundle the measure and your design questions into one visit where we can, so the distance costs you as little time as possible.
Many Gables homes predate modern cabinet standards. Plaster walls, arched openings and uneven floors are normal, and we template on site so the stone meets the walls cleanly.
Cocoplum, Gables Estates and other guarded enclaves register vendors at the gate. Give us the community name and security contact, and we arrange access before each visit.
Our team is bilingual, so you and your family can go over colors, edges and scheduling in whichever language you prefer.
Few buyers here want a kitchen that looks out of place in a 1920s house. These are the questions that come up most when Gables owners plan new countertops.
Creams and soft golds sit well against terracotta floors and stained wood. HanStone Tahitian Cream and Caesarstone Taj Royale both take their cue from warm Taj Mahal quartzite.
A plain eased edge suits modern kitchens, while an ogee or bullnose can feel more at home in an older room. Our edge profile guide shows the options side by side.
Some owners weigh natural quartzite against engineered quartz. Quartzite is natural stone, while quartz is engineered, non-porous and never needs sealing; our quartz vs. quartzite comparison explains the trade-offs.
Under the Gables’ banyan and oak canopy, homes stay humid much of the year. Quartz doesn’t absorb moisture, and daily care is just mild soap and water.
Our Coral Gables work falls into three groups.
From modest original kitchens in the North Gables to large islands in newer homes near the waterfront. Edge, sink and backsplash options are on our kitchen and bath countertops page.

Older Gables baths often have tile work worth keeping, so we fit new vanity tops around it with care. Sizes and sink cutouts are on our bathroom vanity countertops page.

Restaurants on Miracle Mile and Giralda Plaza, professional offices downtown and clinics near the university need durable counters. We install reception desks, bar tops, break-room tops and restroom vanities.

Four steps, adjusted for older houses, gated streets and a longer drive.
Coral Gables has its own Board of Architects, which focuses mainly on exteriors. A straight countertop swap usually stays inside the house, but if your project moves plumbing or walls, check permit needs with the city first. Gated communities add vendor registration at the gate.
Browse our quartz brands, then see slabs at the Englert Arts showroom in Boca Raton, weekdays from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM. For a rough number first, open the quote calculator.
We template after cabinets are set. In older homes, that step captures wavy plaster, out-of-level floors and window sills so the finished tops sit tight.
Our fabrication partner cuts and polishes each piece. On install day we protect floors along the path, set the tops, fit the sink and clean up before we leave.
Answers for owners of older homes, waterfront houses and Gables businesses.
Yes. Coral Gables is part of our Miami-Dade service area. The drive from our base in Boca Raton is roughly an hour and a quarter, depending on traffic, and the in-home measure and estimate are free.
A like-for-like countertop replacement often does not, but rules change when plumbing, electrical or walls are altered. The City of Coral Gables makes the final call, so confirm with its permitting office before a larger remodel.
Yes. Guarded communities typically ask vendors to be registered in advance. Give us the gate or security contact and we arrange access for the measure and the install.
Warm whites, creams and soft golds with gentle veining tend to suit terracotta floors, wood beams and wrought iron. You can compare samples in those tones at the showroom against your cabinet finish.
Marble has a classic look but is porous and etches with acids like lemon juice. Quartz gives a similar veined look without sealing, which is why many owners choose it for busy kitchens and keep marble for low-traffic spots.
Square footage, brand and color, edge profile, cutouts, removal of old tops and access all affect price. Try the quote calculator for a starting range, then book a free measure for a written quote.
