From a single vanity top to a full kitchen, Markell Designs handles countertops, semi-custom cabinetry, and tile backsplash as one coordinated project. We'll help you choose the right materials for your space, manage the details from tear-out through installation, and stay involved through the final walkthrough.
We work with quartz, porcelain, granite, marble, and quartzite for kitchen islands, perimeter countertops, bathroom vanities, and everything in between. Each countertop is templated and fabricated to fit your space, with careful attention to seams, edges, and how the material will look and perform in everyday use.
Whether it's a single vanity or a full kitchen with a waterfall island, we'll help you compare materials based on durability, maintenance, appearance, and budget so you can choose what actually makes sense for your home.
A small sample is a great place to start, but it can't show you how the color, movement and veining will look across an entire countertop or island.
Once we've narrowed down the material, we'll guide you to the suppliers we work with most: Arizona Tile and Monterrey Tile, along with others throughout Arizona, where you can walk the rows and see full slabs in person. Send us photos of what you like, have the supplier send your selections directly to us, or Mark can meet you there when a little extra guidance would be helpful.
The selection doesn't end there. After Mark templates your project, he personally lays those templates out on the actual slabs before fabrication, planning seam locations, veining direction, movement, and which portions of the slab will look best in the most visible areas of your kitchen. When bookmatched slabs or heavily veined materials are involved, that planning matters even more. It's the step behind the scenes that turns the slab you chose into countertops that look intentional.
Our semi-custom cabinetry, primarily from Kemper Cabinetry, is designed around how you actually use your kitchen or bathroom, not just how it looks. From a full kitchen remodel to a single desk nook or bathroom vanity, every box, drawer, and finish is selected to fit your space.
We handle cabinetry alongside your countertops as one coordinated project so everything is measured, ordered, and installed to work together from day one.
Thoughtful details, like a pull-out trash & recycling drawer built right into the cabinetry.
A tile backsplash ties your countertops and cabinetry together while protecting your walls from daily cooking and cleanup. We install subway tile, patterned tile, and full-height backsplashes, with careful cuts around outlets, range hoods, and windows.
From a simple backsplash update to a full accent wall, we'll help you choose a tile that complements your countertops and cabinetry and coordinate the installation as part of the overall project.
Tell us a little about what you're planning. Mark or Kelly will personally review your project and get back to you, usually within one business day.
