The Lakes Countertop Fabrication — West Las Vegas

The Lakes is a west-valley community built around Lake Sahara, a private lake that gives the neighborhood its name and some genuine waterfront homes. As the neighborhood arm of our Spring Valley countertop service, Night & Day Stone fabricates and installs custom countertops for homeowners from the lakefront streets to the established tracts near Sahara Avenue and Durango Drive — you hand-pick your slab at our yard, we template with digital precision, and our own crew installs it.

Because we cut and finish everything in-house at 2951 N Lamont St, a project in The Lakes keeps the same fabricator from slab selection to the final seam. No middleman, no big-box handoff.

Countertop Materials for The Lakes Homes

The Lakes was largely built out in the 1980s and 1990s, so many kitchens here still carry their original tile or laminate and are due for an upgrade. The waterfront and near-water homes often want a lighter, brighter palette to match the lake views, and material choice follows that look.

Quartz countertops are the top pick for The Lakes families who want a zero-maintenance surface. Engineered quartz never needs sealing and ignores spills from coffee, wine, and everyday cooking — and its bright, consistent whites and greys pair beautifully with the lakefront light near Lake Sahara.

Marble countertops bring a softer, luxurious note to The Lakes bathrooms and bar areas. Calacatta and Carrara marble vanities suit the waterfront homes where a primary bath doubles as a retreat. Marble needs sealing every 6 to 12 months, and with Las Vegas hard water at 278 ppm we walk every homeowner through a realistic maintenance plan.

We also fabricate granite, quartzite, and porcelain for kitchens, islands, and outdoor spaces. Many Lakes homeowners pair a quartz kitchen with a marble bathroom countertop for a coordinated look throughout the home.

The Lakes Streets We Work

We install across every pocket of The Lakes, and each has its own character.

The waterfront homes — the properties directly on Lake Sahara sit on premium lots, and these kitchens and baths tend toward brighter quartz and marble surfaces that play off the water.

The Sahara Avenue tracts (89117) — the established family streets closer to Sahara Avenue are hitting the thirty-year remodel window, swapping dated tile for quartz and granite.

The Durango Drive edge — the western stretch near Durango Drive and the Desert Shores boundary, where homeowners get the quickest templating turnaround we offer on the west side.

Landmarks we route by every week: Lake Sahara, the Sahara Avenue and Durango Drive corridor, and the Desert Shores boundary just to the north.

Why The Lakes Homeowners Choose Us

You visit our slab yard and put your hand on the exact slab that ends up in your kitchen or bath — no photo, no sample chip. For a home in The Lakes that means you can match a specific quartz tone or marble vein to your cabinets and the lake-side light before we cut. We template digitally, fabricate in-house, and install with our own team, so the crew that measures your kitchen is the crew that sets the stone. We also offer stone restoration for older natural-stone surfaces that need polishing and resealing.

Directions From The Lakes to Our Slab Yard

We are at 2951 N Lamont St, Las Vegas, NV 89115 — about 25 minutes from The Lakes. Take Sahara Avenue or Charleston to US-95 south, then over toward the Lamont Street area near Nellis. Most Lakes homeowners visit the yard once to choose a slab, then we handle the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you install countertops throughout The Lakes?

Yes — we fabricate and install across all of The Lakes, including the Lake Sahara waterfront homes, the Sahara Avenue tracts (89117), and the streets near the Durango Drive edge. Installation is handled by our own crew, not a subcontractor.

Is marble a good idea in a Las Vegas home?

Marble is beautiful for bathrooms and bar areas, where it sees less heat and acid than a kitchen. We generally steer homeowners toward quartz or quartzite for a heavily used kitchen and reserve marble for vanities and statement pieces, then set a realistic sealing schedule for our hard water.

How long does a project in The Lakes take?

After you choose your slab, most kitchens are templated within a few days and installed one to two weeks later, depending on material and edge profile.

Can I see the actual slab before you cut it?

Always. Homeowners in The Lakes hand-pick the exact slab at our yard at 2951 N Lamont St before we fabricate anything.
