We have used this company for more than one project, in more than one home. Outstanding workmanship.
I have posted countertop photos in past threads.... you can use the search feature at the top of the forum page if you are interested.  |
Ditto for this company.
We had Corian in our spec home, and while I liked it, it scratched if you looked at it cross-eyed. I couldn't even put the dog's dish down on it without finding a cloth to put under it. And forget sliding anything, even boxes. Sure you can sand it, but it would have been needed to be sanded so much that there would eventually have been dips in it.
We left it in the bathrooms (still like the paticular pattern we have) and replaced the kitchen with a good-quality granite which Tony from the above company helped us pick out. He will put a lifetime seal on it, and it's worry-free. I still won't take a pot off the stove and put it directly on the counter top--just me.
This is the second time we've replaced countertops with granite. I'm a huge fan. Although granite is slipping from its No. 1 spot in countertop preferences, it has become more affordable, and there are more pattern choices available. We chose our granite at Ultimate Granite on Rolling Acres Road. Tony likes dealing with them and with a place in Ocala.
Another thing about Tony... He will tell you what width slab to choose so there won't be any seams (designer home). he told us not to let them talk us into anything narrower than a certain width if we did not want seams.
If you search, you will find other places recommended as well. Good luck!
