Hand-Selected Slabs, Expert Installation
Stone countertops are the foundation of Red Baron Construction Co. Gary founded the company 24 years ago with a passion for crafting impeccable slab stone surfaces, and that dedication remains the core of everything we do today. Our team has installed well over a thousand granite, quartzite, and marble countertops across Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, and the surrounding areas.
We work directly with Arizona's top stone yards to give you access to the widest selection of premium slabs at competitive prices. Whether you prefer the bold veining of Super White quartzite, the timeless elegance of Calacatta marble, or the rugged beauty of Colonial Gold granite, we guide you through material selection, templating, fabrication, and installation with white-glove service.
Every countertop we install is precision-templated using digital laser measurement technology to ensure seamless joints, flawless finishes, and a perfect fit. Our fabrication team cuts, polishes, and profiles each slab with meticulous care. The result is a countertop that looks stunning, performs beautifully, and lasts for decades. We handle all associated plumbing, sink cutouts, and faucet installation so you deal with one contractor from start to finish.
Our Stone Selection
Premium Natural Stone Options
We specialize in three premium natural stone categories, each offering unique beauty and performance characteristics. Our team helps you select the perfect stone for your lifestyle, design preferences, and budget.
Granite
The gold standard for durability and variety. Granite offers exceptional heat resistance, scratch resistance, and comes in hundreds of colors and patterns. From dramatic veined slabs to subtle speckled surfaces, granite is ideal for high-traffic kitchens and outdoor applications. Popular choices include Colonial Gold, Alaska White, and Black Galaxy.
- Heat & Scratch Resistant
- Hundreds of Colors
- Low Maintenance
- Indoor & Outdoor Use
Quartzite
The best of both worlds: marble-like beauty with granite-level durability. Natural quartzite features stunning veining and movement while being harder than granite. It is rapidly becoming the most popular choice among Mesa homeowners for custom kitchen islands and perimeter countertops. Top picks include Super White, Taj Mahal, and Fantasy Brown.
- Marble-Like Beauty
- Exceptional Hardness
- UV & Heat Resistant
- Dramatic Veining
Marble
The epitome of high-end style and timeless elegance. Marble has been prized for centuries for its luminous depth, unique veining, and cool-to-the-touch surface. While it requires more care than granite or quartzite, nothing compares to the sophistication of a marble countertop or vanity. Favorites include Calacatta, Carrara, and Statuario.
- Timeless Elegance
- Unique Veining
- Cool Surface
- Premium Elegance

Choosing & Caring for Stone in the Desert
Arizona Sun, Hard Water, and Dry Heat
Countertops in the East Valley face conditions that most national installers never think about. Direct desert sun through a west-facing window can fade the resins used in engineered quartz over time, which is why we steer homeowners toward granite or quartzite for outdoor kitchens, sunlit breakfast bars, and patio bar tops. Mesa's notoriously hard water leaves mineral deposits around faucets and undermount sinks, so we set every sink with a full silicone bead and recommend a natural stone cleaner rather than the vinegar-based products that etch polished surfaces. Our dry climate also means slabs need to acclimate before fabrication, and seams need the right flexible adhesive so nothing telegraphs as the house moves through a 40-degree daily temperature swing.
These are small details, but they are the difference between a countertop that still looks new in fifteen years and one that shows its age in three. After 24 years of installing stone in Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, and Gilbert homes, we build them into every project by default instead of treating them as upgrades.
Everyday Care That Actually Matters
Premium stone is far less demanding than most homeowners expect. A simple routine keeps granite, quartzite, and marble looking their best for decades, and we walk every client through it at the final walkthrough.
- Wipe spills promptly with warm water and a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Skip bleach, vinegar, and citrus cleaners, which dull polished finishes.
- Reseal granite and quartzite roughly once a year. Marble benefits from sealing every six to twelve months in a busy kitchen.
- Use a cutting board. Stone will win against a knife blade every time, and your knives will lose.
- Set a trivet under slow cookers and cast iron. Granite and quartzite handle heat well, but engineered quartz can scorch.
- Never stand or sit on a countertop, especially near a sink cutout or an unsupported overhang.
Because we fabricate and install in-house, you are never handed off to a third party when a question comes up years later. One call reaches the same team that templated your kitchen.
