So happy that we selected Great Mountain Soapstone to custom fabricate a bunch of amazing counters for our customer. They were responsive to our creative ideas, were prompt with all communication, eager to please, and very precise in templating. The install went superbly and our customer is thrilled. Thank you so much to Roy, Kim, Luis, and Cameron.

I own an interior design business and recently engaged Great Mountain Soapstone to supply and install counters for a project near Collingwood, Ontario. My experience with the team truly exceeded my expectations, and the product is absolutely stunning. We will definitely use this company again. Amazing service, thank you.

Great Moutain Soapstone was great to work with, and the product (now three years later) is a decision I would not change. I chose the wildest veining they had at the time...I was looking for drama in a big kitchen. Got it! Everyone loves it, and it suits this Muskoka cottage perfectly. The people were wonderful to work with, and after 3 years, I remember bad suppliers and over priced products...this was neither. Caveats of soapstone (which has nothing to do with the company): dont let a party bounce quarters into cups, soapstone chips, which I accept as patina...you might not. I have a soapstone
