Default Quartz

We put quartz counters in our home in Oklahoma. You will love them. I highly recommend them over others. Easy to clean and no sealing required. Good luck.

I used Ocala Kitchen and Bath and they did a great job. They are located on 466 in the Santa Fe plaza

Quartz can be beautiful but check the warranty when using in the kitchen. You may not be able to put hot things directly on quartz like you can granite.

We used Bath Studios of Ocala and was totally happy with their quality of work and cost. We had several estimates and looked at workmanship in various showrooms and they put the seams in the best place to eliminate seeing it;had a slight flaw in one section and they immediately replaced the entire section without hesitation; we had our kitchen and both bathrooms completed along with under counter sinks; quartz is easy to maintain (nothing to do) unlike Granite;we went through an office on 466 (little mall on left after turning Right on 466 when leaving The Villages over the Bridge on Morse Blvd) We dealt with Annie & Paul Floramo - this was in 2013 and have never had an issue with anything they installed.

Hi, we just did our kitchen with Cambria Quartz, it is beautiful. Renovated guest bathroom as well. I would NOT recommend Wildwood Kitchen and Bath ( they did our renovations) they are very unorganized and misleading with down payment (50%) at signing and once they entire your home and take out lets say a counter top they want another 45% of total cost of job. Still have a bitter taste in my mouth from dealing with them. Boyer homes in Leesburg did some work on our Lanai and they were great. Hope this helps.

Are countertops are being installed in the kitchen and both bathrooms this Tuesday. After an exhaustive search, I found Stone Designers of Ocala to be the best on customer service so far. And oddly enough, all 7 guys that I play poker with used Carlos (the owner) to install theirs. Reasonable, customer focused, and easy to get to their office. Unbeknown to us, he includes a new sink of your choice, removing and replacing the garbage disposal, most any edging that you'd like.
If you'd like to see ours installation, let us know and we'll contact you

I second the recommendations people have had for Ultimate Granite on Rolling Acres Rd. They did our work two years ago and their price could not be beat. For example, we had a quote for LAMINATE counter tops from Doc's Restoration that was DOUBLE the quote for GRANITE from Ultimate. They did a quality job on the time schedule they promised. One thing I would suggest is to get your faucets from Lowe's or Home Depot and consider Kohler bathroom sinks. Home Depot has a very nice Kohler sink that's only a few $s more than the ones from Ultimate.

I got a bait and switch with them and am stuck with a kitchen I don't like. Make sure you take pictures of what you pick out, and get timeline in writing. My dealings with them were hell on earth. They also damaged my car and refused to take responsibility for it. Their employees sell the stone for 30 a ft installed, they advertise everywhere. That is where I found the piece I picked out to begin with. Sadly, the junk was already installed.
