About First Class
A family business, built one countertop at a time.
For 15 years, the dos Santos family and a team of well-trained professionals have paired true craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to create the stone surfaces families gather around.
Leo & Angelica dos SantosFounders
Our story
It started with a family and a promise to do it right.
Leo and Angelica founded First Class Marble & Granite in 2011. Leo handled the field and shop work himself, and Angelica ran the office. Every kitchen carried their name, so every detail had to be right.
That standard never changed. The tools got sharper, the shop grew and the team became a family of its own, but every project still gets the care of a business that's personally invested in your home.
“The First Class team is the family that transforms people’s lives through projects.”

What sets us apart
Craft, technology and people, working as one.
Precise processes keep every job efficient and on schedule, and the finish is something you'll notice for years.
Finishes that hold up to real life
Seams, edges and cutouts are finished by hand and checked before anything leaves the shop. It's the detail you feel every day.
Measured by laser, cut by CNC
Laser templating and five-axis CNC saws turn your space into an accurate digital model, so you can see the layout before we cut.
One team from template to install
Our own estimators, project managers, fabricators and installers guide you at every step. You'll always know who to call.
Better for the places we live. Our shop runs on recycled water, and we're planning for solar-powered operations.
