Default Granite Countertops

Trying to find information on McCullough Family Granite in Ocala. I went to their showroom and fell inlove with a granite that they have but would like to get feed back on their work. Has anyone used them before and what do you think?

Go to Duncan Stone in Taveras. They can provide any color and type of granite available. And the work they do is outstanding. Just use the search function on here and search for "granite" There are a multiple recommendations for them.

I am not familiar with McCollough, but perhaps you can ask them for a list of other customers they have done work for. Often other clients will gladly speak to you and offer to let you see the granite installed in their homes. Then you can see the workmanship in person.

(As an extra safety before contracting with any company unfamiliar to you, you may always call Seniors vs Crime and ask if there are any complaints registered against a particular company. They are there for US.)

It would be neat if you could visit a home where YOUR favored granite has been installed!

If it is not possible to speak to satisfied customers and/or you wish to widen your search, please DO use the search feature here on our website. There are a number of very good companies here. My own recommendation is posted along with many others.

Should you look anywhere else in addition to McCollough, make sure you know what your granite is called and what grade it is considered to be. You may very well find that other places do carry it as well.
Have fun above all. I love granite.

After checking seven granite yards, we found the best price was Granite Solutions in Leesberg. We then went to check their work. It was terrific. They did our baths, our kitchen, and then our summer kitchen. Would use them again.

I would suggest comparing a few of the repeatedly mentioned providers. Use the search bar and you should find several. This thread doesn't really give you many different recommendations.

Chris. Show the picture of your granite with that fancy ogee(?) edge.

I love to look at it.

Anything for you Gracie. This was done by Duncan Stone and only one seam in the entire house. I am doing granite in one of the rental homes and am going back to Duncan Stone and work with Ty. And these shown are all single pieces with no seam.

I just had Granite Solutions, in Leesburg, install granite in my kitchen and bathrooms. We chose a granite with a lot of design and I was afraid of what could happen with a seam not matching. Not only were my fears unfounded, but, there were no seams at all. Their work was superior. I am comparing their work and prices to another granite company in Wildwood who did my first home, a patio villa. I own an Avondale now and the entire job including the sinks in the kitchen and bathrooms and the cost for the plumber included came to under $5,000. What impressed me most was that I only had to pay for the amount of granite necessary to complete the job and not for the entire slab. Thank you Granite Solutions.

We recently had Jonathan Moody install our granite. Price was great, installation excellent however, Jon takes on more than he can handle, does not return your calls, and does not show up at scheduled times. If Jon learns how to manage his time, not over extend himself, and meet the time frames he gives his customers, he could be successful...but for now, stay away from this granite installer.

We recently had granite counters installed in the kitchen and two baths by Duncan Stone and would recommend them to anyone. The price was competitive and the work was outstanding. Everything was completed in one day.
