The company works out of a 15,000-square-foot building, which it owns. It has been working in stone fabrication for 11 years, doing two or three custom kitchens per day - primarily for high-end homes up to 10,000 square feet in size. As expected, these projects tend to be large-scale, as a typical kitchen project completed by Saban has four slabs or more. Overall, the company estimates that it fabricates 550 slabs per month.
The typical turnaround time for a kitchen project is seven to 10 working days, and Saban also works on other rooms in the home, supplying stone and ceramic tile from suppliers such as Arizona Tile, among other distributors. “In many projects, we move from room to room,†said Angela Saban, vice president of the business, which she owns with her husband, Charley Saban. “Competition in the tile field is tough. We decided to go for the high-end market, and we stress customer service. We have developed a solid reputation in the area with high-end builders. People know we're not the cheapest, but they will be happy.†Builders comprise a large portion of the company's business, and Saban receives a great deal of repeat business and referrals.
