Fox Marble has been one of the Bay Area’s premier stone fabrication and installation companies for more than 40 years. From custom kitchen slabs to large-scale commercial projects, our team of expert fabricators, installers, and craftsmen transforms natural stone and tile into spaces that last for generations.

Today, Fox Marble is entering an exciting new chapter. We’ve joined forces with Fireclay Tile, a fast-growing, design-driven manufacturer known for handcrafted tile and a modern digital platform that makes specifying and purchasing surfaces easier than ever. Together, we’re building something unique: a vertically integrated surfaces company that combines handcrafted materials, precision fabrication, and expert installation — all under one roof.

Our Richmond facility is home to a team of highly skilled craftsmen who take pride in doing things the right way, and our field team is professional, experienced, and focused on delivering exceptional value. If you enjoy working with great people, building beautiful things, and being part of a company that values craftsmanship, innovation, and integrity, you’ll fit right in.
