Colonial Countertops

What Colonial Countertops does

Colonial Countertops is a privately held Canadian custom countertop fabricator and installer, headquartered in Victoria, British Columbia and operating across British Columbia and Alberta. Founded in 1970 and led by CEO Jesse Kliman, the company runs eight showroom locations and five in-house fabrication facilities, serving two main customer groups: homeowners undertaking kitchen and bathroom renovations, and trade professionals including builders, interior designers, kitchen designers, and property management firms. The company emphasizes a 45-year, three-generation operating history as a core trust signal and was awarded the 2024 Kitchen and Bath Fabricator of the Year in North America by Cosentino.

The company's product portfolio spans quartz, granite and natural stone, laminate, solid surface (Formica Everform, Corian, LX Hausys HIMACS, Meganite), butcher block, and ultra-compact porcelain (Dekton), with materials sourced from major international brands including Cosentino, Caesarstone, Cambria, Vicostone, Formica, Wilsonart, and Arborite. Fabrication follows a templating-to-installation workflow (1-2 weeks templating plus 2-3 weeks fabrication and installation for quartz/stone; 24-72 hours supply-only for select laminate). Differentiated offerings include the Wetwall waterproof grout-free wall panel system, FreePower embedded Qi wireless charging, Silestone Integrity integrated sinks, THINSCAPE Performance Tops, and AntiEtch surface treatment. Lead times are template drawings within 48 hours of appointment, with material-specific installation warranties of 1 year (laminate) and 2 years (stone, solid surface, butcher block, THINSCAPE).

Colonial Countertops generates revenue through one-time project sales of custom-fabricated countertops bundled with professional installation services, supplemented by kitchen and bathroom sink sales (Pearl Sinks, Karran Sinks) and consumer financing facilitated through humm. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the Top66 laminate collection offers up to 20% bulk-order savings on 66 colors. Distribution is exclusively domestic and runs through company-owned showrooms, in-home sales consultations conducted by field staff, trade professional referrals, and trade association memberships (HAVAN, NKBA, CKCA). The company does not have disclosed funding, M&A activity, or public financial reporting.
