We used Stone Designer Inc, 352-454-2336. Very happy with the results and pricing.

I think you are better off with Quartz. I have granite and there was no choice back in 2008. Granite is a "pain" unless you constantly clean and seal periodically. The new looks/patterns of quartz are much nicer looking and quartz is much easier to keep clean and maintain. That's my opinion based on my experience.

We replaced our undercount kitchen sink with a black Elkay double sink with an low divider and love it. We purchased it from Mike Scott and they also installed it--no problem.

Burns Woodworking replaced our countertops and sink. We were thrilled. We have granite because it is the most durable — quartz will show burn marks with hot pots; not granite. Give Burns a call and see if they can replace your sink.

As long as the sink is the same size as the old sink, especially the depth, then the plumbing should be easy enough to DIY. We replaced a kitchen sink and two bathroom sinks, and did the replumbing myself. The piping was pvc, and the differences were minor in that you just dry fit the new piece of pipe and joints until it all aligns correctly, mark it, goop it and replace it exactly where it was dry fit.

A few practice pieces was all i needed to get the hang of gooping and installing. the only part i screwed up on was that i bought the wrong angle joints and had to go back and rebuy the correct ones as that was the ONLY style which HD did not have in stock. .
