The interior work done by the contractor was horrible. The biggest problem was with the installation of the cabinets since they weren?t level. They all had to be redone by another company because they couldn?t install the granite countertops. The contractor didn?t take any responsibility for that. He said that he would install a professional kitchen and didn?t have an idea of how he had to install a particular hood that I wanted in the kitchen. Some of the photos that were on his website were of modern kitchen and I then found out that those were just photos on his website. They weren?t of the kitchens that he actually did. It was false advertising and it?s my fault that I didn?t follow through. So it wasn?t good. The granite company recommended another contractor to come in and make them level. We didn?t pay the entire money and there was another $2000, which we didn?t want to give. He abused, yelled and cursed while installing. He also damaged it while installing and installed them upside down. It looked like he wasn?t essentially literate and didn?t read the instructions that came with the cabinets. It was really bad and we didn?t call him back. Initially the price was okay and his punctuality was okay as well. He then came out a couple of times when we weren?t at home and eventually sued for $2000. I ended up giving another $1000. We had hired him to repair the drywall and he did a really good job on that at a really fair price. However, he really didn?t seem to have the skill to do the kitchen remodeling project.

We were still a little nervous that it was too good to be true and we might end up with big ugly seams or some other horror. Our new countertops look great! Everything fit perfectly, so the guy who measured did a great job. But mostly I loved the installer who was very professional and very detail-oriented. The seams are virtually transparent ? you really have to know where to look for them. The outlet cutouts are amazingly precise. It is very impressive. And besides that skill set, his customer service skills are EXCELLENT! He has a wonderful demeanor. He was cordial and personable at all times, and when our contractor showed up, the installer strategically took on a somewhat (but not quite) deferential demeanor so the contractor could be all macho and such, yet he didn't allow himself to be pushed around.

He kept the area fairly clean and vacuumed. He took measurements and made templates. He also took my sink with him to the fabrication site so an exact cut could be made since he said sometimes the metal isn't uniform. I went to MC the next afternoon to do the layout. I went into the office but no one was to be found. I went around back to the fabrication area and found Boris who worked with me to do the layout. Boris mentioned that there might need to be a seam in the granite in the area for the sink. This was upsetting because I had been told that a single piece of the slab would be used for that area of my countertop and that no seam would be necessary. Boris said that they would do their best to not have a seam. I also called later and talked with Vladimir about the issue and he basically said what Boris had told me. I told Vladimir that I hadn't used pre-fab because I didn't want a seam. He just said that they would do their best not to have a seam. The day of the installation was set about two weeks after the layout. Three workers arrived about an hour earlier than I'd been told they would-fine with me.

"Our experience is identical to what other reviewers shared. And yes, you should run from this company as fast as you can. Do not buy what Abraham shared that the payment must be made when the inspection is passed. Check the Business and Professions code yourself, the payment only needs to be made when the job is completed. It is very COMMON that the job is not even done or poorly performed even the inspection is passed. Here are the issues that multiple families including us run into with this company:: The project was delayed for over 9 months. No one manages the job. He often employs young men from his own Jewish community. They are enthusiastic but had no prior experience. The worse part is that they don't get paid. Two of them even set up a new construction business knowing Abraham will never pay them. Subcontractors can put your house on lien also. Many reviews you see on Yelp, Google, Angi are NOT genuine. Even the references are fake with hindsight, we were given 2 references. One reference shared the exact same accent as the PM. The other reference was initially happy with their work, but then reached out to us and shared a similar horror story with them like what we experienced. You will lose a lot of $$$ on materials as the subcontractors will somehow leave a thousand dollars worth of quartz at home. Maybe they want to compensate for the money Abraham owed them? Let me tell you, reordering materials is not fun."

We repair all types of damage, such as cracks, seam separations, chips and can refinish (remove scratches) & modify SOLID SURFACE (Corian, HiMacs, Livingstone, Staron, Wilsonart, & more). We also can repair cracks, nicks, seam splits & sink replacements in STONE countertops (Granite, Marble, Quartz, etc.) We can remove & replace sinks in both SOLIDS SURFACE & STONE TOPS including modifications to the countertop. WE WORK HARD TO BRING EVERY CUSTOMER A SUPERIOR RESOLUTION TO THEIR NEED. Our main office is in Central California so we cover from the greater Sacramento area to Fresno, the Bay Area to the foothills. We also have technicians who cover Northern & Central Oregon & Western Washington up and down I-5.
"Mediocre service and absolutely appalling customer service. Before having our granite countertops cleaned and sealed, I specifically mentioned how I had used acetone to treat certain olive oil stains and deliberately asked whether or not this would affect the cleaning and sealing process. Their technician assured me that it would not. After one hour of work, I observed that many of the areas that I had previously treated with acetone were significantly darker than other areas of our granite countertops. I am pretty sure this was due to the acetone-affected areas not having any prior sealant, so they absorbed water or cleaner or other liquids that were used during the cleaning. I asked the technician why certain areas on our granite countertops were much lighter than the darker areas. His response was ,I do not really have an answer for you. I found this answer unprofessional and unacceptable for someone who specializes in countertop repairs. As someone who is untrained and unskilled in countertop repair, even I could tell that my countertops had been cleaned and wetted by some cleaning agent and then sealed immediately without enough time for the cleaner to evaporate. The fact that I specifically asked beforehand over the phone whether or not acetone-treated areas would be affected by his cleaning and then immediately found darkening issues on these exact areas is an issue I cannot overlook. Furthermore, upon contacting Cole Restoration about my complaint, I was given a generic email response about how they want all of [their] customers to have a good experience and they asked for photos. I quickly replied with photos showing the areas of concern. This was over a month ago. Since then I have sent two follow up emails and left a voice message. Still ZERO response. All around dreadful, neglectful, and unacceptable. I can not and wont ever recommend Cole Restorations to anyone after being an afterthought to them for over a month."

Repair Granite Countertops questions, answered by experts
Onyx countertops have pros and cons. If you seal it properly and take care not to damage it, it can make a good countertop surface. However, it's more often used in bathrooms, where it’s less likely to sustain damage. Having an onyx kitchen countertop is possible, but you’ll need to take extra care not to burn, stain, or otherwise damage the material.
Engineered stone is nonporous, unlike natural stone, and does not need to be sealed. You do not have to worry about etching or bacterial growth. It is more durable than natural stone and concrete, as well as highly heat resistant. Engineered stone is easy to clean and maintain. You can wipe it down with warm water and soap. Use a non-scratch scrub pad for stains and avoid any harsh cleaners. Engineered stone can even be eco-friendly, with some manufacturers using waste byproducts or organic resins.
Onyx countertops are naturally porous, absorbing liquids and staining easily without proper care. Regular sealing every 6 to 12 months is essential to keep them looking their best. Daily maintenance includes wiping up spills immediately and avoiding harsh cleaners or acidic substances that can etch the surface.
There are three main downsides to quartzite: the cost, the porosity, and the weight. As a natural stone, there’s a level of scarcity that can drive up the price of certain types of quartzite. Even more common varieties are less affordable than synthetic materials like laminate and other natural stones like granite.
You’ll also have to reseal your quartzite countertop annually to combat the natural porosity and reinforce your cabinets to account for the added weight.
Marble countertops don’t necessarily crack easily. However, they are more susceptible to damage than some other types of countertops. For example, they can develop etching from acidic liquids, such as lemon or tomato juice. Marble can also chip at the edges if you drop a heavy pan. A faux marble countertop isn’t as delicate as the real deal (depending on the material you’re painting over), but it can still get scratched if you’re not careful. Use hot pads and cutting boards to protect the countertop.
