Your Local Countertop Team Since 2012

Rock Hard Granite has been fabricating and installing countertops in the Tri-Cities since 2012. We’re a team of about 10 people based in Richland, WA — and we do one thing well: custom stone countertops, from selection to installation.

About the Owner

Meet Fermin

Owner Fermin Mercado didn’t start behind a desk. He started in the shop — cutting, fabricating, and installing countertops alongside the crew. He joined Rock Hard Granite around 2014, became shop manager in 2020, and bought the business in 2025.

That hands-on background shapes how the company runs today. Fermin is still involved in day-to-day operations, still accessible to customers, and still focused on the same thing that got him into this trade: doing quality work for people who care about their homes.

In-House Stone Experts

What We Do

We fabricate and install granite, quartz, and natural stone countertops for homeowners across Kennewick, Richland, Pasco, and the surrounding Tri-Cities area. Our core work includes kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, shower walls, fireplace surrounds, and outdoor kitchens.

 

Everything is fabricated in our Richland shop using CNC equipment and laser templating. We don’t outsource fabrication, and we install with our own crew. From the first measurement to the final install, the same team handles your project.

Quality, Speed, Simplicity

Why Homeowners Choose Us

People don’t choose us because we’re the cheapest. They choose us because we’re responsive, we do quality work, and we make the process easy.

We aim to return quotes within 24 hours. Our staff walks customers through material selection without pressure. And once cabinets are set, we move quickly from template to install — most projects are done in one to two weeks.

Nearly everyone who visits our showroom ends up working with us. That’s not a sales tactic — it’s what happens when people see the stone in person and talk to a team that actually knows the work.

Trusted Local Craftsmanship

Local Roots, Broad Capability

We’re licensed in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. We’ve completed projects from the Tri-Cities to Seattle, La Grande, Sandpoint, and beyond. But the Tri-Cities is home, and that’s where most of our work happens — for homeowners and builders who want a local team they can count on.
