Reasons to Choose Dauter Stone
40+ years of experience
We are a locally owned business that has served the Calgary area, and the B.C. interior for over 35 years. Over that time, we’ve built an excellent reputation by ensuring rock solid reliability.
We diamond polish front profile edges to ensure a permanent shine that matches the slab face
We take the time to wet-polish the finished profile edges with successively finer grit diamond pads, providing a durable shine to the edges that matches the polished surface the slab has from the factory. Some shops will wax rather than polish, with the polish the shine does not wear off.
Our skilled tradesmen do all the manufacturing and installation work
We don’t use subcontractors; we prefer to have our people do the work, utilizing consistent methods that meet our high standards. We train our tradesmen to follow ‘best practices’, and we guarantee our service and installation work.
Highly specialized up-to-date equipment, which result in the best finishes
We use CNC (Computer Numeric Controlled) technology, which produces significantly more accurate results.
Full one-year warranty, with highly trained service technicians always available:
We have a 35+ year history in the Calgary stone business… we’ll be here when you need us.
With Dauter Stone you are working with stone experts, and buying directly from the source.
Dauter Stone offers so much more than ‘middlemen’ retailers and box stores. When working with us, you are dealing directly with the supplier; we have the stock, the equipment, the knowledge, the experience, the personnel, and the time to help you with every detail. We are experts when it comes to stone products, and we will ensure that you are properly looked after in all aspects… including costs.
You inspect your stone slab prior to cutting
Unlike many other stone suppliers, our customers don’t have to special order their slabs, sight unseen. We offer a huge inventory of stone at our Calgary store; stocked and ready for viewing. Choosing your stone directly on-site, rather than from a sample, means you’ll get exactly the stone you want directly from the source without having to make a separate trip to another distributor.
We provide the strongest under-mount sink reinforcement around
We install a stainless steel bar insert into the stone, along the vulnerable front kitchen sink edge. We also install a wire cradle under the sink itself (where cabinet and sink design allow), to add support for the sink, which becomes heavy when filled.
Accurate on-site templating using the very best digital laser
We use a high-tech and highly accurate method of measuring, which pinpoints several points along the walls, and creates a drawing that precisely matches the space, so the finished countertops will fit beautifully.
