High Springs, FL — Granite, Marble & Quartz Countertops
The Easy Smart Stone Granite Process
Every job starts with a sketch of your kitchen — send it through the contact form or bring it to the shop — followed by a real conversation about granite, marble, and engineered stone (quartz) options, plus sinks and faucets from the in-warehouse selection. All the stone is bought directly from quarries and factories, which keeps pricing down.
Once you’ve picked your stone and put a deposit down (cash or check), Smart Stone schedules a measurement visit, then installation. Pieces are fabricated in-house to your kitchen’s exact layout, with a 4 cm full bullnose edge as the standard profile and seams cut tight.
Installation takes one day. Cabinets should be emptied and drawers removed beforehand, and the new countertops need to sit unused until the following day. Plumbing reconnection runs through a recommended plumber that Rob coordinates with separately, paid directly to them rather than through Smart Stone.
Local Expertise in High Springs
High Springs’ historic downtown — known locally as the “Gateway to the Springs” for its proximity to Ginnie, Poe, and Gilchrist Blue Springs — is full of Victorian and Craftsman homes with kitchens that predate standard modern cabinet sizing. Fabricating each countertop to the actual layout, rather than working off a fixed set of slab dimensions, is what makes those renovations come out right instead of forcing a standard size into an irregular space.
One real example: Miranda Tidwell, a High Springs customer, had her entire home done by Smart Stone and noted in her review how efficient and timely Rob’s team was throughout the project — exactly the kind of full-house job that’s common when High Springs homeowners take on a renovation all at once rather than room by room.
Outside the historic core, newer homes call for bigger islands and more contemporary edge profiles, and the area’s springs-driven tourism means a fair number of vacation or second homes get countertop work too. Either way, sealing matters in this climate — Smart Stone recommends an annual seal for natural stone, with the right product depending on your specific granite color.
“Rob and his team did an amazing job on our entire house! We could not be happier with how efficient and timely they were. We can’t wait to show off our new home!!”

Why High Springs Homeowners Choose Smart Stone
Smart Stone has run out of the same Gainesville shop since 2011 and holds a 4.7-star rating across more than 50 Google reviews, including customers from High Springs — more is on the testimonials page.
Buying stone direct from quarries and fabricating it in-house means one crew handles your job from measurement through installation, which keeps both pricing and quality control tighter than a job that gets passed between a sales office and a separate cutting facility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you match a countertop to an older, historic High Springs home?
Yes — that’s a common job in High Springs’ historic district, where Victorian and Craftsman-era kitchens often have cabinet heights and layouts that don’t match modern stock dimensions. Smart Stone fabricates each piece to your kitchen’s actual measurements rather than working from a fixed set of pre-cut sizes, which is what makes a clean fit possible in an older home without extensive cabinet modification.
How far is High Springs from the Smart Stone shop?
About 23 miles northwest via US-441, roughly a 30-minute drive. Smart Stone regularly measures and installs in High Springs, so the distance is routine — the crew comes to you for both the measurement visit and the installation day.
Do you install countertops in second homes or vacation properties?
Yes. Given how much of High Springs’ economy is tied to spring-fed tourism, it’s not unusual to install in a second home or a property that isn’t occupied full-time. The process is the same as any other job — sketch, stone selection, deposit, measurement, then a one-day installation — though scheduling around when the owner will be present sometimes takes a little extra coordination.
