Our Story
▶ What Grey Vein provides
▶ How our process works
In 2015, Marcin Rzepka, owner and operational manager, decided that it was time for him to invest in his dream, to open his own fabrication shop and change the way of crafting and creation.
After spending years gaining experience and noticing the market, he understood that more could be done to help customers to achieve their goals when it comes to build new spaces or to renovate.
Grey Vein Marble has since been growing more and more, being known as an innovative and value-driven company. Over the past years, we have helped to build, renovate, and transform many houses, commercial spaces, and building complexes.
We are on the pulse of modern technology, and our customer service is the best in the market.
“Marcin was very helpful to us when it came to choosing our countertops. My wife had an idea of what she wanted and he made sure it was done right. The best recommendation I can give is that Marcin is like an old school tradesman. In my mind, they do not get any better than that.

Our process
1. Quoting
The first step is to visit a stone wholesalers, and pick something you like. This will get you the look you need while not purchasing a full slab. When you’ve chosen a couple of your picks, we will assemble a quote for you. All we need is a rough sketch of your project.
2. Template
Now that you have selected your stone and your project is ready, we will send out our staff to measure the surfaces.
Things you will need from you :
- Cabinets, gables and supports fully installed
- Sinks, faucets & appliance specs on site
- 60% deposit paid to Grey Vein Marble and Granite Ltd.
3. Cut
We are the very proud owners of a American Made JMM Bridge Saw. This state of the art machine, direct from North Hollywood California, is literally on the cutting edge of Granite Fabrication.
A few quick checks, and this saw cuts your project to perfection.
4. Sink and Edges
After your piece comes of the saw, we begin the more precise details on your counter tops, this includes cutting all your sinks, inside corners and edge profiles.
5. Polish
Your counters then make a visit to the polishing area. This is where all exposed edges get a super shine to match the surface of your counter.
6. Install
We generally give a 2 week lead time from the point of template.
Our highly skilled installers will ensure a great fit and excellent seam (if required).
An industry standard seam is 1/8", with a thick glue line. Our seam system makes our seams nearly invisible.
Our suppliers
We work with many suppliers across the lower mainland that we trust. Each supplier has something to offer for everyone, whatever your budget may be.
They stock an abundance of stone, from natural stones like granite, marble and quartz, as well as engineered stone.
