Kitchen Countertops for Downers Grove Remodels and New Builds
Al Jory Marble fabricates and installs kitchen countertops in Downers Grove, IL, handling the job from template through final placement. We measure your kitchen, cut and finish the slab in our own shop, and set the tops with our own crew. One company carries the project start to finish, so there is no handoff between the people who measured and the people who install.
We work on both sides of the Downers Grove market: renovations in the village’s older homes, where nothing is standard and templating does the heavy lifting, and new construction where we coordinate directly with your builder or architect. We carry marble, quartz, granite, and quartzite, and you can select your full slab at the showroom or have samples brought to your home. Call (708) 362-7674 for a free measurement.
Kitchen Countertop Fabrication, Replacement, and New Construction Work
Al Jory Marble offers full countertop services in Downers Grove, covering remodels, replacements, and new builds. Every project begins with a free measurement and a written estimate broken out by material and labor.
- Full kitchen remodels. Islands, perimeter runs, peninsulas, and seating overhangs cut to the finished space.
- New construction coordination. We work off your builder’s schedule, templating after cabinets are set and delivering when the space is ready for tops.
- Architect and designer collaboration. Slab selection, edge details, and seam placement worked out with your design team before fabrication.
- Countertop replacement. Dated laminate, tile, or worn stone out and hauled away, new tops in the same day on most jobs.
- Waterfall islands and mitered edges. Grain carried down the sides, book matched where the slab allows.
- Full height backsplashes. Cut from the same slab so the veining continues up the wall.
- Bathroom and butler’s pantry tops. Vanities, wet bars, and pantry counters, often cut from your kitchen slab remnant.
- Fireplace surrounds and hearths. Stone carried from the kitchen into adjacent living spaces.
- Commercial counters. Restaurant bar tops, cafe service counters, and office reception desks along Ogden Avenue and the downtown district.
What a Downers Grove Countertop Project Looks Like
Kitchen Countertop Installation Across Downers Grove
Al Jory Marble installs kitchen countertops throughout Downers Grove, and the era of the house sets the terms of the job. The older sections near downtown and the Metra line hold homes from the early 1900s, including a well-known stock of catalog era houses. Kitchens in those homes have usually been reworked more than once, cabinet runs are rarely standard depth, and walls are never square. Those projects come down to careful templating and honest planning about where seams land.
The postwar ranches and split levels built through the 1950s and 60s across the middle of the village are a different job. Compact kitchens, often opened up during a remodel, where the new island becomes the centerpiece and slab selection carries the room.
Then there is the teardown and rebuild work. New construction on scraped lots comes with large open kitchens, oversized islands spanning eight to twelve feet, and a full design team already in place. Those projects run on the builder’s schedule, and we coordinate directly with the general contractor so the tops go in on the day the space is ready.
We also handle commercial work along Ogden Avenue, Butterfield Road, and the downtown Main Street district. Call (708) 362-7674 for a free measurement anywhere in Downers Grove.

Premium Kitchen Countertop Materials for Downers Grove
The stone sets the tone of the whole kitchen, and it is worth taking time over. On a renovation in an older home, the material has to sit right with woodwork and cabinetry that already has character. On a new build, the island slab often becomes the focal point of the entire main floor. Come see full pieces at the showroom before you decide.
Granite
Quarried and genuinely one of a kind. Heat tolerant to a degree engineered stone is not, and durable enough that it stays in kitchens for decades. Plan on resealing periodically depending on the stone.
Quartzite
Natural stone that reads like marble from across the room but comes in harder than granite. The usual answer when a design calls for white and grey veining but the kitchen sees heavy daily use.
Calacatta Laza
Unmatched for depth and character, and it changes with time. Marble etches where acids sit and develops a patina over the years. In a period home renovation that aging often looks correct. In a new build meant to stay pristine, consider quartzite instead.
White Quartz
Manufactured to a spec, so the slab matches the sample and the pieces match each other. Nonporous and sealing free. On a long island or an L shaped run where consistency matters visually, quartz removes the guesswork.
