Opening its doors four years ago, GHB Marble in North Hills, CA, started from nothing and has continually worked to expand its business since it started. “I like this industry a lot,” said Hayk Babuiyan, president of GHB Marble. “I used to do tile, but it wasn’t for me. I didn’t enjoy it as much. Since I have made the switch, I am a lot happier.”
Babuiyan explained that when he worked in the tile industry he did branch out and install countertops at his customers’ request. “If someone wanted a countertop, I would go and have it fabricated in another shop and then install it,” he said. “That’s how I got started in the countertop business. Eventually I just switched over to doing fabrication work.”
