Riverside Custom Countertops stands as Southern California's go-to pros in restaurant and hotel countertops, working with restaurant owners, general contractors and facility managers on bar tops, back bars and guest-room vanity packages. We handle hospitality work from a single bar top of 12 to 20 sq ft to multi-section bars, host stands and full guest-floor vanity runs.
Our crews work full-service restaurants, brewpubs, hotels and event venues, phasing installs around guests and business hours so the dining room opens on time. Backed by 12 years in business, we have delivered over 1,870 projects, from a lone bar section to 10-unit apartment packages, and project references are available on request.
From the field takeoff and shop drawings to seam layout, after-hours installs and closeout paperwork, our team handles the parts of a hospitality job that decide whether the room reopens on schedule. Serving Riverside and neighboring Corona, Eastvale and Temescal Valley, we hold the general contractor's schedule, work nights and weekends when the property needs it, and turn the bar over ready for punch and inspection.
Send us your plans to request a bid, and we will walk the dining room or guest floor before we price a single slab.
What you can hold us to
Omar, Downtown near the Mission Inn, Riverside
Restaurant bar top with a worn laminate surface and a bar sink
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Omar runs a restaurant downtown near the Mission Inn, where the old bar had a worn laminate surface and a bar sink that leaked at the rim. We recommended honed black granite, because a honed finish hides glass rings far better than polished stone under bar lighting. Our crew set the 2 bar sections after closing, an estimated $2,600 to $4,100 job that took an estimated 6 to 10 hours of night work. The bar was back in service for the next lunch.
Our restaurant and hospitality work across Riverside County runs from one bar top to phased packages that cover a whole guest floor, and these are the scopes we price most often:
We build for the property types that make up the Riverside hospitality market: the restaurant row on the Main Street Pedestrian Mall, the hotels within walking distance of the Riverside Convention Center, and the brewpubs and tasting rooms in the Marketplace district's restored citrus packing houses. Outside downtown we work lunch spots in the Corona business park, coffee bars serving the Goodman Commerce Center in Eastvale, and wedding venues near Glen Ivy Hot Springs in Temescal Valley.
A restaurant countertop job in Riverside follows the same seven steps whether it is one bar or a hotel floor.
Bars are templated before opening and installed after closing, so a Riverside restaurant like Omar's loses no seatings at all. Every top arrives cut, edged and polished from the shop, the same way our crews deliver kitchens to Orangecrest and Canyon Crest homeowners, so field work is limited to fitting and setting.
Hotels are phased by the floor: a few rooms come out of inventory at a time, the elevator and corridor are protected, and rooms go back to housekeeping the same day.

Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Restaurant and hospitality countertops in Riverside are priced per square foot of stone, per bar top or per vanity, and installed stone is estimated at roughly $55 to $135 per sq ft for granite and $65 to $145 per sq ft for quartz.
| Material | Est. installed price | Hospitality fit |
|---|---|---|
| Engineered quartz | Est. $65 to $145 per sq ft | Nonporous, never needs sealing, keep hot pans off it |
| Granite | Est. $55 to $135 per sq ft | Takes heat, sealed every 1 to 2 years |
| Solid surface | Est. $70 to $130 per sq ft | Integrated sinks, scratches sand out |
| Porcelain and sintered stone | Est. $55 to $120 per sq ft | Heat and stain resistant, thin profile |
Run length, sink and tap cutouts, the edge profile and after-hours labor move a hospitality price most. Volume work, like the 10 apartment kitchens we turned for a property manager in the University area, is priced per unit, which typically brings each top toward the low end of its range.
These figures are budgetary estimates for Riverside and are subject to change; your written quote, confirmed on bid from the plans, specification and site walk, sets the final price and the install schedule.
Restaurant owners hire us because the shop that cuts the stone also sets it. Our owner reviews every seam layout before the saw runs, and our lead installer stays on the job from the first section to the last. Every bar and vanity carries our 1-year workmanship warranty on seams, fit and sink mounting, and quartz adds the maker's own warranty on top. After 12 years and more than 1,870 tops, references from restaurant and property clients are available on request.
We take restaurant and hotel work across a 35-mile radius of our Riverside countertop shop, from downtown Riverside and the University area to Corona, Norco and Eastvale. Further out, we bid hospitality jobs in Woodcrest, Temescal Valley and Chino Hills, plus Yorba Linda and Villa Park on the Orange County side, where most venues book us for after-hours installs.
Our commercial countertop installation team covers mixed-use and retail work, apartment and multifamily countertop packages handle unit turnovers, tenant improvement countertops cover office break rooms, and builders send plans to our countertop fabrication for contractors desk.
A single bar top or host stand of roughly 12 to 20 sq ft is the smallest restaurant job we bid, and it is typically estimated at $750 to $2,400 installed.
Yes, we bid from architectural plans and the finish specification, the same way we priced 3 break room counters for an office in the Corona business park.
Most restaurant jobs install an estimated 1 to 3 weeks after the laser template, and the template itself is booked as soon as the bar die wall or cabinets are set.
Yes, after-closing and weekend installs are standard for restaurants, which is how Omar's bar was set in one night and reopened for lunch.
We take a few guest rooms out of inventory at a time and return each one ready for housekeeping before the next group starts.
Yes, a hotel vanity package is priced per top, typically estimated at $500 to $1,500 per vanity top depending on size, material and the sink.
Our lead installer runs every install with a crew of 2 to 3, and the estimator who walked the site stays your contact from bid to closeout.
You receive care instructions for the finish, the warranty letter and, on quartz, the maker's warranty registration.
Contact us with your plans, unit count and opening date, and we will walk the site and send a written bid for every bar, back bar and vanity.
Start to finish
We check the cabinets for level and take a digital laser template before any slab is cut.
You pick the slab and approve where every seam and vein will fall.
The stone is cut wet, edged and polished in our Riverside shop, cutouts included.
A crew of 2 to 3 installers sets the tops, mounts the sink and walks the job with you.
