SUNWEST MARBLE & GRANITE INC.

Very good experience.  We will be calling them again for our bathroom countertops.

Very positive experience.  Willing to work with us on our unique/specific requests.  Responsive and very good communications throughout the project.  Good workmanship.  Very happy with final outcome.

We had to replace out existing granite counter top after trying to get the old dishwasher out  to be able to get the new one installed.   After that piece of granite cracked all over, we just decided to get new.  Not that we could afford it.  We got Sunwest's name from AZ Tile. I faxed over measurements to approximately 3 companies, and Matt was the "only company" to respond back to me.  He mentioned he had a slab left over from a previous job (remnant) and wanted us to take a look at it.   We met with Matt on Saturday and although the slab was very nice it didnt really go with what we had in mind.  BUT!  There was another slab that caught our eye.  Matt checked and it was available.   We said "do it" on the spot.
Matt even came over to the house to do the measurements that very day.   A week later it was installed and it looks ...............................................................................................................................................................   F A B U L O U S

Did the job with very little dust and it took them 6 hours.

It went great! I dealt with Matt May and there are a few reasons why I really enjoyed dealing with him.  The first is that he is not "salesy" in the least bit.  He's a very calm person and he spends enough time with you so that you feel fully educated about the entire process.  I originally called one of the top-rated Angie's List granite installers and had a bad sales experience (forgot to call me back and I had to follow-up with him for a visit--When he eventually did come in for an estimate he spent a total of 5 to 10 minutes coming in a measuring everything and then promptly disappeared and NEVER called me back or even emailed me to give me the quote.)  Once I made the decision to go with Matt (after calling 3 references, receiving pictures from him, and getting quotes from 2 other installers), he even offered to go with me to AZ tile to shop for the granite.  He also had me come out to the work yard to see if there was any of their scrap granite for my small bathroom that I wanted to look at for a discounted price.  (I ended up scoring an incredible piece of Blue Pearl)  Matt took great care to ensure that the granite would be laid out in the most optimal manner.  He was very concerned that the seam be as "seamless" as possible....with granite this is no easy feat and he pulled it off wonderfully. 

Matt guided me through the entire process from purchasing a sink, to lining up a plumber, to finding someone to do the backsplash, to ensuring that my cabinet refinishing would be timed right.   At one point he even acted as a general contracter of sorts by calling up my cabinet refacing contact to ensure the schedule would go off without a hitch (I actually was referred to him by my cabinet refinishing contact).  He also was great at giving me his advice when I asked regarding the edging, tile color selection, and sink selection.

We set a date of Friday 2 weeks out, and while the job ended up getting pushed back to the beginning of the following week, it worked out great for me b/c I had something pressing to focus on that weekend anyway.  Also, another plus to this company was the price---it seemed well under the other estimates that I was given.

When it came time for the install it all went perfectly.  Fabian, Fabian Jr., and Cornelius came on time to do the install and they were cordial and went right to work.  They had a big job ahead of them especially since I had tiled granite that they had to rip out as well as a backsplash and the bathroom.  Amazingly enough, they got everything done in one day and were great about cleaning up the mess!
