It's a big order to fill.

Prior to launching Estate Granite & Marble, founded by Davis, Michael Huber and Keith Hickman, Davis and Huber co-owned a corporation that purchased land and developed and remodeled high-end properties.

Then, Davis saw a new way to serve clients in his area: "As a statistician, I followed the fact that more than 85% of buyers for high-end homes were couples, and of these, 99% of the decision-makers were the wives," he explains, adding that consumers' (especially the wives') favorite rooms were always the kitchen and master bath. "And the real 'sizzle' in these rooms, of course, is the countertops..."

So, it's no surprise, then, that high-end countertops have become his passion.

Now in their fourth year together, he and his partners equipped their facility with a series of high-tech, state-of-the-art tools capable of doing the latest high-tech work - equipment that can transform the ordinary into something ground-breaking, Davis asserts.

The company is currently in the process of acquiring a "cutting-edge" CNC machine. This will enable the firm to produce more repetitious work for projects such as hotels and banks, as well as increase efficiency on custom applications, reports Davis.

These and other investments in new tool technology allow for increased production and increased quality for his clients, Davis believes.
