The salesman will come to your home with samples. You can then proceed to their "shop" and see the actual slabs of granite. The shop is just south of Wildwood on 301. We picked out the granite at their site and it was installed within the same week we had the initial meeting with the salesman. The entire process from selection to installation was beyond our expectations and the finished product is perfect!

We had previously used Home Depot for installation of granite tops in our last home. While we were satisfied with the overall process, All Star was much more efficient and offered a better price overall. In addition, you deal with only one provider versus Home Depot who subs out the installation process.

We highly recommend All Star.



I agree that the big box home stores have different installers. We too used a granite only business up north. It took what seemed like forever and cost a lot of money. I am glad to hear that they are not afraid to advertise prices and can tell you how much for different models of homes. Sounds really perfect.

That is great to know, if we decide to switch from a very attractive (to me) synthetic.
