A 2023 customer said Jay installed a new kitchen counter top and a handmade sink, kept them informed at every stage, and completed the project on schedule. In a 2022 review, a customer said Jay was open to creating a corner style he had not done before and created their sink and the backsplash behind it. A 2022 customer described kitchen counters with an island and a handmade soapstone sink, and called Jay easy to work with, reliable, responsive and fair.

“I've been to CBS exotic stones and Seacoast soapstone so far and haven't found the perfect slab.”
“Sea coast Soapstone- Jay Trahan. He did our outdoor kitchen and it came out amazing”
Totally thrilled with our soapstone countertops and sink. We love the Lorraine style sink - the lower front side has a graceful curve that gives great access to the working area. Wonderful attention to detail throughout, including the addition of sills over the backsplash and range, and we like the way he made shallow notches in our beams to avoid visible gaps while allowing for minor movement/swelling/shrinking of the beams. Jay also made us a beautiful shelf out of reclaimed hickory barnboard.
Jay crafted a gorgeous black walnut top for our kitchen island. His craftsmanship is first rate.
They know soapstone for sure. We had a soapstone kitchen installed twelve years ago and it was looking very sad. Chad sanded and refinished all counter tops and island. We are once agan in love with our soapstone. Trust, Knowledge and respect of your property.
Jay did an amazing job on wood counters for our custom entertainment center. He has done two projects for us (soapstone counters and sink) and it’s the part of any project that I know I don’t have to worry about. I highly recommend Seacoast Soapstone for any project.
Jay is very professional, honest, took great care in my home. The quality is outstanding.
