Stone Basyx Raleigh — Local services in Raleigh

The property was in very good condition. The folks who assisted us were outstanding, and very nice.

We went into the warehouse and saw the most amazing and beautiful natural stone selections.

There were a number of man-made slabs as well, but mostly in the very white range. It would be nice to see more color options for those.

Pricing is completely unavailable except for their rating system $$$$4, $$$$$5, etc. That gave us some relativity between the stones, but not any real price per square foot information at all, which I wanted and needed for budgeting. The staff could not clarify whether the man-made products' pricing system was the same as the natural stones, or different, but it sounded as if it may be different, which makes it even more difficult to determine whether you are within your budget.

Nonetheless, Tia encouraged us to see what we wanted and even produced some water and clothe in order to wet down the soapstone so we could understand its final appearance after oiled. The gentlemen operating the heavy equipment were very respectful and never whispered a word or sent any body language that they were irritated at our last minute requests. We absolutely plan to return to pick out our final stone. As a parting gift, I left them with a solid dose of my dad humor. They were so poised that they never revealed that they were laughing at me, it with...
