Minami Granite Designs, Inc

Excellent throughout the whole process. There's a reason it takes a few weeks to install after deciding to go with them. All personnel were very friendly and professional. Excellent on communications throughout. Would highly recommend with no reservation. Don dePew

We highly recommend Minami Granite Designs: they went the extra mile to make us smile.

Minami Granite Designs (MGD) is a family company who keeps their promises: they provided us quality materials, great workmanship, and excellent service.
Three months after MGD installed our granite counters and fireplace surround, I am still excited to go into the kitchen each morning to enjoy the granite?s patterns and colors, and appreciate the workmanship and attention to detail that went into making our kitchen and fireplace almost unique.
Every stage of the process with Minami Granite Designs - from initial inquiry and design through installation - went smoothly. Elizabeth, Jessica and the rest of the Minami team answered calls and emails promptly and kept on-time appointments.
When we couldn?t decide on a granite slab from the on-site Minami collection, Elizabeth asked us what we liked and disliked about the selection, then directed us to a warehouse with even more granite - there we found slabs that were almost exactly what we had been trying to describe.
The installation price Minami quoted based on the initial kitchen measurements was comparable to other companies and we appreciated that every cost was quoted up front, there were no hidden extras. Minami sent a team to template the kitchen and fireplace: we were impressed that Mr. Minami himself came to advise and supervise.
Due to the beautiful variations in our granite slabs, Elizabeth invited us to participate in the sink and stove top placements, and in choosing which granite patterns would be featured on the breakfast bar, island, and peninsula. Elizabeth was SO patient, and we really appreciated being included in the decision making process, however her aesthetic sense in optimizing the design and the pattern to match our surface area was far more professional than we could have suggested. Trust Elizabeth?s judgement!
MGD fitted the granite installation into our house moving timeframe, and did EVERYTHING in one day. The counter design had as few joints as possible to ensure that the patterns flowed naturally, and it was impressive to see Luis and his guys work as a team to move enormous pieces of granite into place. They cut the stove top and sink hole on site making a surprisingly small
amount of dust? which they cleaned up without being asked! While one team worked on installing the sink/stovetop, and finishing/sealing the kitchen counters, another team installed the fireplace and hearth. The workmanship was superb, and the team's good attitudes were really appreciated. When they were finished, the installation team gave us a lovely square block of granite that we now use as a pizza-rolling slab.
After everything was installed, we loved Minami?s work so much that we requested a special type of high backsplash for the stove area, we preferred their granite art to the tile we had planned. I wasn?t sure there was enough granite left in the size we needed, so we expected to have a jigsaw pattern or a piece of granite that somewhat matched. We were surprised and delighted a few weeks later when Minami?s team presented us with a one-piece backsplash that was the perfect size AND matched the counter top flow of color and pattern perfectly. Not sure how they did this, but we really appreciate that they went the extra mile to make it happen.
Minami?s granite installation flows from the counter area around and up the back of the sink, onto the breakfast bar, then draws your eye to the fireplace the other side of the family room. The way the colors flow it looks as though one continuous piece of granite was used for these sections, but it is really very clever design work by Elizabeth and her team and quality installation by Luis and his team. It?s like living and working in an art gallery: each area of the kitchen has unique granite highlight features that
make cooking ? or just hanging out by the tea kettle ? a beautiful experience. Thank you Minami!

We picked out everything and their customer service has been excellent.  They are highly recommended by a lot of locals.  They were professional and prompt.  I had all of my quotes within 48 hours.  They did exactly what they said they will do.  They allowed me to take samples back and forth constantly, never hesitate.  They called and checked on me.  They worked well with my contractor and his recommendations.

Very pleased with the selection of granite and the installation. Measuring and installation staff VERY professional. Cost reasonable as they did our counter tops , island and desk. Would definitely recommend them to our friends. So refreshing to work with professionals.

They were very good. We liked the countertops. We felt that they could have been a little more accurate in their measurements. They were recommended by the cabinet people that we've used. They were very helpful in the design and getting the actual granite that we were looking for. They were very, very helpful in the aesthetic part of it. They went out of their way to be helpful and they even cut some 4x4 pieces of the granite and ground it down so that I could use it as an accent on my backsplash at no charge. It was a decent price. It was the measuring that I had a problem with.
