MARMARA CORPORATION

We love the countertop. Their service was impeccable, the install was way faster than they originally quoted (just 4 days - 2 over the weekend! from measurement to install), and they cleaned up after themselves so well. I would definitely hire them again.

You couldn't believe the quality of workmanship. To do the design properly, they cut all the marble squares to custom sizes. Although their price is not cheap, once you negotiate, they haven't charged me any extras. I had them make a doorsill out of the matching marble and they did it wonderfully, free of charge. They also taped everything up so no dust went around the home. The marble surround on the fireplace, went against the plaster wall, instead of notching into the wall they shaved down the marble to meet the contours of the wall. it was unbelievable.

They are unbelievably neat.  They're kind of like a class above the standard contractor.  When they did a bathroom for me here, or a shower, they put paper over the whole stairways and they taped the room closed.  They mostly do work for local builders.  They also did work for one of my neighbors, who looks like Bo Derek did when she was younger, and she said that everything they did for them was wonderful too.  I had a problem with a sill in the bathroom.  I had a bathroom which was small and I wanted to have a design in the floor but the tiles were 12" x 12" and it just didn't work with a border, so for an extra $150 they cut all the 12" x 12" tiles down to 10" x 10"s.  So then they put a border around it so you had two full tiles between the borders and it looked proper instead of like a tile and a half.  For an overall grade, they are a double-A.  I have a door sill between the bathroom and the hallway and I told them that I wanted it changed because the door sill was not all marble matching it, and they said oh no problem, we'll change it and no charge.  But then I looked at it and since the hallway was all dark wood and the marble was kind of a pinkish marble, I said I really don't want the pink going into the hallway.  So I left it, and they only charged me for the sill, to make the sill, $75.  I thought, if you go and get a wood sill from a national provider, it's like $30.  This was installed, and some of the tiles had some spots in them, so although I had to buy new tiles, they took the tiles out and put in the tiles so I had all the color variations I wanted.  Most of the workers are from Brazil actually, although the owners are from Portugal.  They also did a fireplace for me where the old fireplace - I put a gas fireplace in - and I couldn't believe it.  I got a very nice beige Travertine for around the fireplace, and where the Travertine was going against the wall, I expected them to notch out the drywall to fit the marble in.  What they did though is they fixed the marble so it went according to the wall.  I have another thing I'm planning to have them do, but I'll have to check the price out.  What we have is, in the kitchen we about twenty feet of kitchen counter and I don't know whether we'll use another provider's man or use Marmara.

Got just what I wanted at a reasonable price all-around.. I went to their location in DC to place order, and picked it up myself (they carried it to the car for me).

Got just what I wanted at a reasonable price. Not a fancy showroom, but guy was very helpful. I went to DC location to order it, and picked it up myself when it was ready to save some money (they carried it to the car for me).

They were pleasant, helpful, and the work was done quickly.

Absolutely splendidly. I couldn't be more pleased. This is top notch quality and service.

Working with Marmara was a smooth process from start to finish. They were helpful in choosing the stone, always courteous and professional, answered my questions quickly, showed up precisely on time the day of install, and when I found a tiny problem -- a backsplash that ended an inch or two before the end of the counter - they came back the very next day to fix it. The counters look fantastic and I would definitely go back to them if I had another job.

EXCELLENT WORK. ON TIME, ACCOMMODATED OUR SCHEDULE. VERY REASONABLY PRICED. WE WERE LOOKING AT CORIAN AND OTHER SOLID SURFACES BECAUSE WE THOUGHT WE REALLY COULD NOT AFFORD STONE. FIXED ANY PROBLEMS WITHOUT QUESTION.
