Virginia Soapstone, LLC — Local services in Brambleton

In 2023 we underwent a major first floor renovation in our 1900 farmhouse. In considering our design, we wanted a timeless, modern, stately look that would age well and not require a "redo" for many years to come. After considering many current countertop and flooring options, we settled on soapstone for its amazing durability, non porous properties and classic, natural, ageless appeal. We've installed soapstone on our kitchen countertops, as a waterfall countertop on our bar, and as the countertop and flooring in a very visible half bath. We even wrapped our living room fireplace with it. We couldn't have made a better choice in material or in who we worked with for fabrication and installation. As a material, soapstone is extremely durable, doesn't stain, and is a classic material. Every slab is unique which is part of its major appeal.

Dana and her team of stone fabricators and installers are the most knowledgeable team on soapstone in the DC metro area. They are professionals who have many years of experience in educating their customers on the stone's properties, what to expect with soapstone and most importantly, how to position your countertop layouts on your slab of stone to get the most out of your chosen slab. I highly recommend all of the people at Virginia Soapstone for their competitive prices, their beautful work and their...

We did our homework to pick our countertop options and decided that soapstone was a good fit for us aesthetically as well as functionally. I loved the fact that we would not have to worry about sealants or whether or not we used the right cleaners on it. We are also fans of its aging qualities and just overall durability. However, when we started to look for it at the local countertop warehouses, we quickly learned that we already knew way more about the options and possibilities than anyone we could find to talk to about it. I found Virginia Soapstone and their associated company Teixeira online and ordered some samples of the different types of stone (we got the samples from Teixeira). We are so pleased that we found this small company and their knowledgeable staff. After visiting with Dana who walked us through all their options, the qualities of the different versions, where they came from, the care, maintenance, and concerns of each … we found just what we were looking for. So pleased with the end result. Our counters are beautiful. As it turns out, our project occurred in the midst of a global pandemic. I can go a step further and say that the company acted very responsibly both in terms of customer and worker safety. And as someone who discounted using quartz because of worker safety concerns, this was important...

We are thrilled with our newly installed countertops from Virginia Soapstone. We started talking to Dana in December 2022. She was as kind and generous with her time nearly two years later, when we finally made the decision pick a slab and have Oscar template the job. It was a pleasure working with Oscar, as we were the "general contractors" and needed to know exactly how level the cabinets needed to be and what bracing had to be created for the stone. He also helped to steer me in a different direction when I could not figure out how to do the backsplash under the sink's window. With Dana's assistance on the design, it looks amazing. Not having a design team / kitchen contractor working with you makes decisions excruciating--so we were so happy to have their advice and help. Oscar and his team installed the stone. If you have natural wood cabinets, especially antique heart of pine, this is the stone for you. We have waxed the stone, and the black stone with its veins is striking and modern in this old kitchen. We know it will start to show wear, but that is perfect for the character of this home that my father built many years ago. Thank you, Oscar, Dana and...
