Granite Countertops
Granite countertops combine natural beauty with exceptional durability. Each slab features unique veining patterns that add luxury to kitchens and bathrooms. Our selection includes light, dark, and specialty granites that resist scratches and heat. Professional templating ensures perfect fit during installation.
Marble Countertops
Marble countertops offer timeless elegance with natural veining patterns. While softer than granite, proper sealing protects against stains. Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and pastry work surfaces that require chilled preparation areas. Each slab provides unique aesthetic value to residential properties.
Quartz Countertops
Quartz countertops provide consistent colors and patterns with superior stain resistance. Made from 90% natural quartz and polymer resins, these non-porous surfaces require minimal maintenance. Available in commercial-grade thicknesses and designer color options for modern interiors.
Quartzite Countertops
Quartzite countertops merge marble aesthetics with granite durability. This metamorphic stone resists etching and scratching while maintaining natural beauty. Available in various density levels and color variations that suit both traditional and contemporary designs.
Custom Countertop Design
Custom countertop design services combine client vision with expert guidance. Our process includes material selection, photorealistic renderings, and precision templating. Specializing in unique layouts that maximize natural stone characteristics while meeting functional requirements for residential and commercial spaces.

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

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.

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 !

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 dont use Fordham. Horrible service to resolve if not ever.have photos should you want to see their install.

We chose this company because they had beautiful stone for our kitchen at a really great price. We decided to do a quartzite countertop because, as we were told, it would be very low maintenance and sturdy. We took a sample of the stone, tried to etch it, did an acid test, and even had it independently confirmed that it was indeed quartzite(sometimes stone sold as quartzite is not actually quartzite, so this was important). Our entire kitchen look was based around the look of the quartzite we selected from Fordham. After we selected our stone and put a deposit to hold our 2 slabs of stone, our
