We had a very bad experience with Wildwood Kitchen and Bath that ended up with my wife and I winning a claim against them in small claims court. Please stay away, far away from WK&B.

Thanks for starting this thread. This is going to be our first project once we can have people come into our home with no worries.

there's a place on Rolling Acre Road just beyond the Wood Working shop (as you head toward 441/27) that has a lot of granite stacked up outside....I haven't done any business with them, but they might be a place to check out

ask for references

I think Ultimate Granite on Rolling Acres Road has the largest selection of in-stock granite in the area. They also have a good reputation for installing it. You may also want to consider quartz instead of granite. It seems to be becoming more popular because the color is more consistent than granite.

Someone asked a couple of weeks ago, I copied my previous post.

From reading this board for ten years, from memory two places stand out. First is Ultimate Granite. They had a granite yard in Wildwood until about 6 years ago, then moved to Rolling Acres Rd to have more room. They are the place that other installers buy from. They now have their own installers and advertise in the Sun weekly and every review I've read on here, people have been very happy and their prices seem to be the best.

The Villages Florida

Ultimate Granite- Stone & Quartz Specialist in Tampa, The Villages, Ocala and Sarasota

The other is Duncan Stone out of Tavares the other side of the Leesburg Airport. I can't count the number of times posters have complimented their work.

Here are some search results from this website, which is the quickest way to find results.

Ultimate Granite on Rolling Acres.

Wide variety of pricing. They are very competitive and most often the low bidder.

Excellent workmanship from removal to new install, including all plumbing, electrical work.

We had all new faucets which they installed.

Their schedule is reliable and communications is very good.

We worked with these folks for a kitchen remodel, Rae Builders. They were excellent. It is our kitchen in the photo on their Facebook page.

Another thumbs up for Ultimate Granite. I got my counter tops from them. They have a large selection and are nice to work with.

Default Ultimate Granite is wonderful

Ultimate Granite just completed the replacement of our countertops with Granite and they were absolutely wonderful. The installers did a meticulous job and were very focused on the details. We had two bathrooms and our kitchen redone. Love it!!!

Ultimate Granite’s nephew owns Stone Rise Granite.
We were told if we went with them they would upgrade the level of granite at no extra charge.
Liked dealing with both companies until it came to Stone Rise installers. Very disrespectful people.
Had Duncan do our guest bathroom. Very nice to deal with. I was sorry we didn’t go there for the kitchen.
