"They were sub-contractors for a purchase through a local chain outlet.  All work was performed by them, though.  Measure was prompt and on-schedule.  Installation was the same.  We had a second date set for backsplash as we had a window ledge that needed precise measurement.  Jeremy had time a day ahead, as did we, so that work was done before scheduling.  Our new sinks were quite a bit deeper and did not match the existing drain configuration.  Chad's dad (Bob) does this kind of work and was able to come over and do the work the same day for a reasonable cost even following up when our new disposal drain flange was not compatible with the Blanco sinks that we purchased with the countertops.
Sadly, Chad and his outfit have been almost too good and are able to concentrate on more custom work;  but hopefully will still be available for us "regular" customers.

"I thought my bar countertop could be fixed, but after further inspection Jett identified some issues that would cause me further problems. I hired Jett to remove and replace my bar counter top and it turned out amazing I’ve recommended his companies to friends and family!"

Stone Countertops FAQs, answered by experts

Using water when cutting stone drastically reduces the amount of dust that comes off the stone. It’s beneficial to cut down on the amount of dust for respiratory and other safety reasons, such as keeping your vision clear while using an electric tool. Even with protective eyewear, the dust can still cloud your safety glasses. You should always wear protective gear when cutting stone.

It is not recommended to put a hot pan directly on a marble countertop. While marble is heat-resistant, it is not completely heat-proof, and extreme or prolonged exposure to high heat can cause discoloration, cracking, or chipping. Pans may also scratch or nick the surface. To protect your countertop and maintain its integrity, always use trivets or hot pads. Note that faux marble finishes do not resist heat and require protection from hot items at all times.

Corian® is a popular countertop alternative to quartz. Created from an acrylic resin and natural minerals, Corian® resembles quartz and offers some similar benefits, but it comes at a cheaper price. Corian® countertops cost an average of $26 to $65 per square foot, which is less than half of what quartz countertops usually cost. The downside is that Corian® isn’t as durable as quartz, particularly regarding its resistance to scratches and high temperatures.

Cutting stone comes with a number of safety hazards. First and foremost, if you’re not comfortable with the equipment required to cut stone, including blades and grinders, you could easily injure yourself. The heavy machinery also poses a risk to your ears if you don’t wear proper ear protection; similarly, you need to wear eye protection to keep debris from irritating your eyes.

However, the biggest risk from cutting stone comes from the stone dust. When breathed in, stone dust can be a huge hazard to your lungs. Always wear a face mask when cutting stone to prevent inhaling stone dust, and thoroughly clean the work area when you are finished.

To avoid injury, we recommend hiring a stone-cutting professional, rather than attempting this job yourself.

Yes, onyx countertops can scratch easily—especially if they’re not adequately sealed. But with the proper maintenance (which includes re-sealing the countertops to protect them from damage), you can prevent your onyx countertops from scratching and repair any damage quickly to prevent it from worsening.
