How Granite and Marble Designs Built Industry Trust
Granite and Marble Designs marks 15 years in May 2022, having served 1,354 homeowners, completed stonework for 1,650 commercial buildings, and partnered with over 1,400 contractors. These project milestones complement our 10 Parade of Homes awards and industry recognitions earned since 2007.
When Michael Clifton and Jack Wilt founded Granite and Marble Designs in May 2007, they established a philosophy of service and quality as solid as the stone products they fabricate. Fifteen years of measurable results validate that philosophy.
This milestone anniversary documents our growth through numbers that represent real projects and relationships built across Colorado.

What These Numbers Represent
The 1,354 homeowner projects span kitchens, bathrooms, outdoor spaces, and custom applications. Each required consultation, material selection, precise fabrication, and clean installation.
The 1,650 commercial buildings include hotels, restaurants, sports venues, and office spaces. Commercial projects demand larger scale, tighter timelines, and coordination with general contractors.
The 1,400+ contractor partnerships represent builders, designers, and remodelers who trust Granite and Marble Designs for their projects.
Residential Project Portfolio
Residential work forms the core of Granite and Marble Designs’ business. The 1,354 homeowner projects completed since 2007 demonstrate our capability across application types.
Application Diversity
Our residential work covers kitchen countertops, including islands, perimeters, and bar tops. Bathroom vanities range from single to double sinks and custom configurations. We complete shower surrounds with full slab and tile integration, fireplace surrounds with mantels, hearths, and full-wall designs, outdoor kitchens with weather-resistant installations, and custom applications such as desks, tables, and wet bars.
Each application type requires specific expertise. Our team’s experience across 1,354 residential projects ensures appropriate recommendations and execution.
Geographic Reach
Residential service expanded significantly since 2007. Early projects concentrated in Denver metro. Current service spans Colorado, including the primary Denver metro area, Front Range communities from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs, Summit County mountain communities, and statewide coverage with appropriate scheduling.
This expansion allows more Colorado homeowners to access award-winning craftsmanship.
Commercial Project Portfolio
The 1,650 commercial building figure demonstrates Granite and Marble Designs’ capacity beyond residential work. Commercial projects require different capabilities than home installations.
