Perfect Stones: #1 in Charleston and South Carolina — #8 in the U.S. (per CountertopsContractors.com 2024–2025)

The independent national ranking of countertop fabrication and installation companies — CountertopsContractors.com— recognized our company as the best in the Charleston metropolitan area and all of South Carolina (among 81 companies), and ranked us #8 nationwide among 2,044 top contractors.

A complete surprise that changed the way we see our work

To be honest, this recognition was a total surprise. We had no idea we were on the radar of the CountertopsContractors.com analysts — let alone that a mystery shopper had tested our company. It’s especially surprising considering that Perfect Stones is relatively new to the market, and we have many colleagues with far more years in the industry whom we genuinely respect for their craft and service.

We’ve never chased awards or rankings. We’ve simply done what we love every day: crafting beautiful countertops that become the heart of our clients’ homes. It turns out that staying focused on the work, not on recognition, led to this incredible outcome.

What the ranking evaluates — and why this is so important to us

We really appreciate the philosophy behind CountertopsContractors.com: it’s built for homeowners, from the homeowner’s point of view. It’s not a pay-to-play directory. It’s a practical tool that helps people choose a reliable contractor without spending weeks on research. That makes sense to us — a ranking should exist to help buyers, not to hand out badges.

What impressed us most is that the analysts didn’t stop at Google, Yelp, and Facebook reviews. They went further and used mystery shoppers who interacted with us like real customers. That’s a smart decision: it reveals how a company actually works — how we communicate, how we price, and how quickly we respond.

Our results in numbers (per the 2024–2025 ranking)

Quote Speed — Very Fast (5/5). We prepared a detailed proposal within 1 day. Clients’ time matters, so we move quickly without sacrificing accuracy.

Veterans Discount — Yes (5/5). We proudly offer discounts for veterans as our way of expressing sincere gratitude to those who have served our country.
Company Age — Emerging (1.7/5). Our only low mark — Our only low score — because we really are a relatively young company! But that means we are full of energy, fresh ideas, and a relentless drive to prove our craftsmanship with every project.

Recognition brings great responsibility

When we discussed these awards and achievements as a team, we came to an important conclusion: such a high evaluation of our work is not only a reason for genuine pride but also a great responsibility now resting on our shoulders. This reputation is not something we can simply hold on to — it must be proven again and again with every project, every client interaction, and every installed countertop.

We also understand that, from the moment this ranking appeared, every company in our region will want to be in our place, and many of our competitors are truly talented and experienced professionals. That means we will have to work even harder to keep our leadership, and it’s something we must always keep in mind. But you know what? This responsibility will certainly push us to deliver even higher-quality service to our valued clients!

Our sincere thanks

First and foremost, we want to sincerely thank our clients — you are the reason this recognition was possible. Every review, every recommendation, and every bit of trust you’ve placed in us built the foundation of our perfect Customer Feedback Score (5.0 from 74 reviews). Without your honest feedback, we would never have made it into this ranking or earned such high positions. Your opinion is truly the foundation of our success.

A huge thank-you to our amazing team — the fabricators and installers, our meticulous templaters, and our responsive project managers. Each of you puts skill and heart into our shared work every day. This achievement is the result of our combined efforts, and I am incredibly proud to work alongside such true professionals.

And a special thanks to the CountertopsContractors.com team, who created this unique tool and did tremendous work evaluating the entire U.S. industry — without asking companies for a single cent! That level of independence is truly impressive and commands deep respect. We would gladly support their work financially, but they remain firmly a non-commercial project. A special thanks also goes to the founder: we read his story and understand the frustration he went through as a consumer, and how his decision turned into such a valuable tool for the entire market.
