"The owner is very pleasant, however the work done was poor and sloppy. Fixtures were installed incorrectly and damaged in the process, the shower floor had a dip where the water pools, tiles had to be pulled off and redone due to poor craft men ship, wholes were made on adjacent walls, seams don?t meet up on trims which look very sloppy, work areas were left very dirty and with grout haze all over, and the job took much longer than agreed on, approximately 2 months longer. Ricardo was very nice and tried to fix some things, but most of it just couldn?t be fixed. The workers did not do a good job and Ricardo should have been there supervising to avoid the problems."

Grade C: Minor and major flaws like chipping and cracks requiring repair
Grade D: Significant damage needing repair, with dark veining and pronounced colors

There are several countertop options available to fit your lifestyle and needs.
Granite countertops are durable and come in a variety of colors.
Soapstone countertops are prone to scratches and best in smaller kitchens.
Marble countertops are less durable than granite but a good option for busy kitchens.
Slate countertops are stain-resistant, making them easy to clean.
Limestone countertops must be sealed often to prevent scratches.
Acrylic countertops cost less than granite while still providing durability.
Laminate countertops are the most affordable but chip and fade faster.
Wood countertops need monthly sealing to maintain.
The cost to install countertops is $3,105 on average. This project cost can range from $400 to $8,500, depending on the material, edging, and countertop size.
Laminate countertops are generally the most cost-efficient, ranging from $8 to $27 per square foot. On the other hand, slate countertops are considered more luxurious and range from $30 to $90 per square foot. There are also countertop materials priced between those two, including stainless steel, granite, Corian, and wood.
