Silicon Valley Granite

I have to agree the with other reviews, Silicon Valley Granite IS THE PLACE! They have tons (literally) of inventory. Sridhar was very knowledgeable about the various stone. His prices are unbelievably low and the quality of granite is excellent. Come here first when looking for natural stone.

This is a great place to look for granite. After trying to find granite at all the other local places in San Jose, I went here. Unlike other places I went to, this dealer has scads of granite. No limited amounts, no limited colors, no exorbitant prices. They are extremely helpful and work with you. The other places proved a waste of time. Start your search here and you might not need to look anywhere else.

Always a great selection… friendly, nice quality… great place!

This is THE PLACE for natural stone in the Bay Area. Save your time and money and start your search for the perfect pieces for your home here. We have been to all the local showrooms. What this place lacks in fancy showrooms and spotlights (it’s a huge outdoor lot) they more than make up for in friendly, knowledgable staff and true value. Sridhar was so patient in answering all our questions and helping us find the ideal material for both indoors and out. This is where the contractors come, so why wouldn’t you?!
I know this review sounds like an ad, but I’m not affiliated in any way. Just a very satisfied customer who had a great experience here :)

We purchased 4 slabs from Sridhar @ SVG (3 for our kitchen/​table and 1 for our master bathroom). He was a pleasure to work with. He’s incredibly knowledgable and transparent. He told us about a couple of cons for some of the granite we liked when no other stone yard mentioned it at all. If we ever do another remodel or build a house this is the first place I’d goto for stone.

Great service and selection. Thank you Mr. Kollareddy for finding a great piece of marble.

Excellent customer service from sradhi. Although i didn’t get the slab I wanted but would recommend the business! No pressure from him at all!

Having never purchased or researched marble and granite before I was happy to find SVG through Unilocal.All reviews were great so I decided to check them out.
We were greeted by Sridhar and he was very nice and patient with us. We asked a lot of questions and he gave us additional information we wouldn’t have known to ask. Most importantly was, when we found the Emporador Dark marble slab we fell in love with, that it would not be suitable for a kitchen since marble doesn’t hold up well to scratches and stains. I’m pretty sure other salespeople wouldn’t have shared that info and would have gladly sold us the wrong material to make the sale. I only say this because I did encounter a salesperson at another location we went to after checking out the stock at Silicon Valley Granite who tried to do just that.
Shridhar was kind enough to let us take a sample with us which was essential to our decision. Many other places didn’t have samples which made things harder.
Anyway, after checking out all of the granite stores on Junction and Rodgers in San Jose, we decided to work with Sridhar and made an appointment to come in with my fabricator the following week to pick out our slab.
Once there, he pulled all of the available slabs of the Emporador Dark to let my fabricator and I pick out the best one for our project.
Loading and payment were easy and we were on our way within a short amount of time. I also appreciated seeing the stone in the natural light as the first time I saw it, it was raining and cloudy, which can alter the look but we were convinced it was the right color choice.
The only bummer is that I couldn’t find the perfect slab of granite for the kitchen but that’s not his fault — he had a huge selection — I’m just too picky!
Reasons I plan to work with Sridhar and Silicon Valley Granite again and to refer him to others in the market for his products:
* Huge selection of materials from granite, marble, pavers, pre-​fab counters and vanities.
* Outdoor «warehouse» allows you to see the stones in natural light.
* Great prices.
* Ready for immediate delivery.
* Convenient location just off Hwy 101 in San Jose.
* Excellent service.
And, most importantly, they are HONEST! I should mention that although I initially walked on the lot with my husband, I went back to make the selection and purchase on my own (the fabricator showed up after a while) and was never treated «like a woman» or felt taken advantage of.
I am so glad I found Silicon Valley Granite and plan to use them for all of our future natural stone projects.
Before and after pics to be posted: o)

Purchased a slab of granite for a kitchen remodel
Sridhar walked me through the yard and helkped me narrow down my choices
He was very patient and explained the what contributed to the difference in colors
Very happy with my purchase and the finished result (kitchen counter)
Not sure if there is a cheaper place or not, but given the level of service I received I would use them again

In the past 20 years we’ve used several granite/​marble suppliers/​cutters, and generally find the service surly, the selection restrictive, and prices painful. For the last two projects we’ve used Silicon Valley Granite. Great selection, displayed well., and jobs done quickly – 3−4 days rather than 1 – 2 weeks. The prices are very good. Wish we’d found this place years ago. Easy to work with and highly recommended.

They are simply the best for price, customer service, fabrication and installation! I used them for all my granite and porcelain tile needs for my newly built home. They were also willing to do special orders and if the granite didn’t meet their specification and quality, they advised me to send it back. They also had to return to the job site a number of times after other contractors were finished with their part and they did so promptly without complaint. Excellent experience!

I looked all over the peninsula for granite slabs for countertops. Silicon Valley Granite had a good selection and many slabs to choose from within each type. SVG had much lower prices than any where else I looked. But it was the amazing service that would make me a repeat customer. They came out on the very same day the countertops were ready for granite. I wanted a honed finish so they did a sample for me. Then they came out twice to template because my contractor made a mistake, all without complaining. The work was beautiful and was ready before the expected time frame. Fantastic!

Granite shops close by 4pm so my wife and I, who both work Sun — Sat full time, have to wait for a divine miracle when we can both shop together. Today that miracle occurred and we had about 90 minutes to hit 3 granite shops. Our first stop: Silicon Valley Granite. There were no other customers and the attendant was kind enough to show us his field of granite. The first thing that I noticed was… no prices! How strange. So I explained clearly that our budget was for $ 1000/​slab or under and he agreed to point out all the slabs $ 1000 and below. We carefully looked over each piece he pointed out, about a dozen. After we’d settled on one of those that we really liked, he raised the price to $ 1,100! I’m sorry, that just turned my stomach. Then he got a phone call and totally stopped helping us. We just left. We found the perfect piece at Daltile Natural Stone.
My suggestion:
– Feature photos of all granite samples online with prices, and keep it updated
– Have each slab marked with price per square foot and slab price
– Fire the current attendants and replace them with honest robots

If you want granite counters, just stop by… you will thank me later.
I just finished installing two granite counters (and backsplash) that I got from SVG. In my case, I am very much a DIY person, so I showed up with my luan template in hand, selected a beautiful pre-​made counter, (9 ft) and had them fabricate two pieces from it. The fabrication was first rate, even down to embedding reinforcing rods (under the slab) around the sink cutout. They polished everything very well, especially for the undermount sink, and cut everything exactly like the template – even made it ¹⁄₁₆ undersize for the captive counter, so it could be positioned without tearing up the wall. All in all, very nicely done.
This place has a vast selection of granite. If you just want a counter or two, it is best to go with the pre-​made ones since they already have the edge bullnose installed – an otherwise expensive operation. These guys are happy to just sell you the stone, fabricate, or measure, fabricate, and install.
The selection is great, there is no sales pressure, the fabrication is first rate and the stones are priced very well. I did not want to buy stones from one place and have a third party fabricate for fear of «Señor, Jose broke your slab, so sorry.»
This is not a chi chi place, there is no pretension, and the prices are quite reasonable. I have seen cheaper pre-​fab granite, but the quality was not at all comparable.

We had a hard time choosing the right slab as they had so much to choose from. We did find a slab that blew us away with its color, pattern
& interest.(just what I was looking for)
When it came time to install the counter, workers came in made a template, made a appointment to come back in 3 or 4 days to install.
The workers came ready to work,& wasted no time installing the counter. The workers were very knowledgeable about their craft & the one seam
that needed to installed was done so that it is very hard to find even when looking for it. I felt the price was very competitive. We will certinly look here when we remodel our bathrooms,

The granite I found here was beautiful! I was looking for something special and found it here. They also did the fabrication and install. The pricing is good and the service is excellent. After a new kitchen cabinet install, they came in and made templates. They came back 4 days later and installed with the most care to get things perfect. I had a granite backs plash which they caulked to match the color of my walls. They cleaned up the granite and sealed it that day. The granite installers did an excellent job and I would definitely go back. My biggest concern was the under mount sink and the proximity to the bar. They took my sink with them and cut the sheet metal, modifying it to fit perfectly and allay all my concerns.

This is an outdoor ‘showroom’ for stone and tile. Since the stone
is water and weatherproof, that’s is not a problem, even if we are not. :) Wander around freely. No real pressure.
Lots of selection here. All displayed in natural light so you can see the true
beauty of the stone. From the few questions that I asked, I felt that I might
have found a lower price here than at the big enclosed warehouse. This
guy has a lot of inventory on hand.
The entrance that we came in contained row after row of slabs… mostly
granite but quite a bit of marble too.
The other end of the lot contains pre-​fab counter tops and table tops.
The pre-​fab material did not have quite the distinct and unique looks of the slabs. But the price was less, too.
Has a small building with a couple of ‘model’ kitchen set-​ups with the
different stone.
I also noted a couple of marble fireplace mantels.
If you are looking for stone for a project this should be on your shopping
list. They will sell you just the stone or they also do the installations, too!

The pre-​fabricated granite is near the entrance. All of the slabs of granite are in the back of the lot. I think this place has the largest selection of granite out of all the places that we’ve been to. The granite is stored outside as this place does not have a warehouse. The slabs are very unique. I’ve never seen some of the granite colors and designs at other places.
It’s hard to track down a salesperson for to get a quote. Just hang around the building area, and someone will help you. Unfortunately, this place ran out of the verde butterfly slab. We asked for a quote for the volga blue granite. Prices were a bit higher due to the slab. Labor costs were also higher. Our quote did not include the installation of the sink and the removal of the old tiles. Every additional request costs more.
Good place to just admire unique granite and the most extensive selection of granite.

Beautiful tiles from India. We bought all of our tile here for our bathroom project and were very pleased. They are helpful, and help you determine what type of tile would be the best for your project. We found there prices to be very reasonable.
