Granite Design of Midwest

It went very well. They were on time. The materials were as promised. They were responsive to questions I had. It was a fair price.

Granite Design installed our countertops 2 years ago and we were incredibly pleased with their work. A few weeks ago, I dropped a heavy pot from the top shelf of our cabinets and smashed a chunk of countertop off an edge. Needless to say, I was pretty upset with myself. I called the company to see if they could maybe polish or smooth off the edge. Someone came out the next week, and explained that polishing was not possible, but he could use an epoxy to fill in the gap and smooth it out. 20 minutes later, it looked like nothing had happened - PERFECT!!! He gathered his things to leave and was saying goodbye when I asked how much for the repair. He said it was no problem at all, and they like to take care of their customers. I was floored! What incredible service!!!

The quality of the granite and their workmanship is excellent. Everyone I worked with - Bart, Madga and the installers - were extremely nice. You have to do a little extra work by going to the granite warehouse to pick out your own slab, but they have the best price around -- and I did a lot of research! They also have a great selection of colors -- 16 choices -- with any edge you want for one price. Other places have "levels" of colors and charge extra for certain edges. There was a miscommunication on the price (a difference of about $35): one quote over the phone and another on the invoice, but they only made me pay what I was quoted on the phone with no hassle which was good customer service.

perfect

We found Granite design on Angie's List and they lived up to the hype. Bart was able to provide a quick estimate, allowed us to pick out our slab and was very responsive via e-mail. The installation was smooth and everything was to our liking.

It was a great experience dealing with this company, they are very professional, they came out exactly when they said they would, the top fit perfect and looked great. I will definitely use them in the future.

Bart came out for an estimate. Really nice guy and gave me a quote later that same week. The day of the install they were delayed, however I was called constantly by the office giving me updates. The installation went well, all the workers were really nice and took care of my belongings. Overall I had a great experience with Granite Design. My favorite thing is Bart gets back to you FAST and all over email. I hate playing phone tag with people especially nowadays since there are faster and more efficient ways of communication. I would recommend this company to my friends.

Very well, great response.

Overall fine. The counter top is great but the install was just a little unprofessional. They had top cut a notch in my window frame and it is a big notch. I really like my counter overall but everyone who comes over says what the heck is this hole? It's a small problem and possibly unavoidable due to the laws of physics so I can't be sure it's their fault. But they should have told me ahead of time. So, at the least it's a small oversight. Overall, I am very happy with product and price. Nice guys.

Bart did a great job and was excellent to work with. Magda was excellent at keeping in touch throughout the process of kitchen counter installation and always returned calls rapidly. Quick, efficient, prompt. Well done.

Granite Design was quick, professional and did a fantastic job w the installation. And for a great price! I would recommend them and work with them again.

I was very impressed by Bart and the excellent suggestions he made that helped to cut my cost. The Granite Design team arrived on time, finished more quickly than I expected and left me with a clean kitchen. My son is a professional tiler in MN and is very particular about the way work is done. He raved about the job granite design did and said it was one of the best granite jobs he's seen.

I was just about to give up shopping around for the best price for granite countertops and Angies List recommended Bart from Granite Design. Price was really good compared to HOBO, Home Depot and other small granite companies. I was able to go pick out the slab of granite I wanted for my counter. Overall process was great, fast, and easy, all at a great price.

In a word, these guys are amazing. Bart clearly has built his brand on lightening-fast customer service at an unbeatable price, and he does not disappoint. We first contacted him for fabrication of our kitchen countertops -- he was out promptly to measure and quote us a price, and the countertops were installed within a matter of days. The price he gave us was less than half that of a competitor -- and that was for top-quality granite in a brushed finish, from a granite yard not known for its low prices. I am not sure how he was able to do that, but I am not complaining! The installation was done in a matter of hours and we were exceedingly pleased with the results. A week or so later, I started looking for a new granite countertop in Costa Esmeralda for our bath. Costa Esmeralda, again, is not a cheap stone -- a competitor quoted us $950 for the piece, installed! I contacted Bart the next day -- his quote: $250. For fast, beautiful work, I might add. Finally, we needed two additional stones: a piece of marble for a ledge in our bath area, and a granite threshold for the entrance to the shower. When I contacted Granite Design I was told they were extremely busy (I thought, "Of course -- word is getting out!") and they told me it might take 10 days to get the pieces cut and polished. In actuality, it took four days. Again: beautiful work, fast turnaround, great prices (I paid $160 for the two miscellaneous pieces). This firm was one of the finds of our large home renovation project -- I would recommend them to anyone looking for stone for their home.

Bart provided by far the lowest estimate and the countertops were installed in less than a day. His workforce is simply the most professional I have had the pleasure of knowing in Chicago, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. The place was clean and beautiful afterwards, we paid exactly what was quoted and, in short, this is an outstanding company.

After reading numerous good reviews, we contacted Bart about replacing the existing countertop in our small kitchen with granite as well as placing a granite top on a built-in cabinet. He responded promptly and came to our home to hear what we were looking for, measure, and discuss the options. We told him that we were flexible on installation date, but that we were hoping to utilize a granite remnant in order to save on the cost. He emailed us an estimate that included 2 price options: 1) installation of a new slab of any of several different types of standard granite slabs; 2) a lower price for use of a granite remnant. Bart directed us to a warehouse granite supplier to view a large selection of available granite slabs at various price points. While at the warehouse, we identified several granite styles that appealed to us. We noted the granite names, color schemes, and patterns. We let Bart know the general colors that we liked and asked him to notify us if/when he had a comparable remnant. In the weeks that followed, Bart must have sent us over a dozen emails with pictures of granite remnants that came into his shop. We visited his shop a couple of times to view potential granite remnants. Eventually, a lovely piece of bianco antique became available. Not only was the remnant a perfect match for our kitchen, but bianco antique was a significant upgrade over the basic granite styles that were in our price range had we selected a new slab of granite. So, thanks to Bart's patience we were able to get the perfect piece of granite at a great price. Bart supplied us with a catalogue of sinks of various sizes and configurations. After looking at sink options online, we selected one of the sinks from Bart's supplier catalogue. Bart also recommended a reasonably priced plumber for the new faucet installation and the connection of our new garbage disposal. The installation itself went very smoothly. The Granite Design team removed our existing countertop, installed the new granite in 2 locations in our kitchen, and worked seemlessly with the plumber to ensure that our kitchen was looking great and was ready for our use later in the day. After the installation, we made one call to have someone return to recess and re-mount our dishwasher to the granite. Someone was out quickly to make that small adjustment. We couldn't be happier with our new kitchen countertops and the service that we received from Bart and the team at Granite Design of IL. We will use them again in our next home and we would recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen countertops.

It was wonderful. Bart was easy to work with. I picked the stone out of the yard, he came to measure and installed them without a hitch. They worked with me within a difficult timeframe.

Very professional and timely service. Finished product was excellent! I love it. Made a huge difference in my kitchen.

My overall experience with them was great. They were very good. It was just easy and you don?t have to explain a lot. They were professional and knew what they were doing. That just makes buying easier. They haven?t installed it yet.

I checked the list and came away impressed with the reviews. Friends of mine also worked with Bart for their kitchen countertops and also expressed complete satisfaction with their work. I called for an estimate and Bart came out on schedule and on time. His quote was the best of five other business I contacted. He carefully measured and "scribed" the layout since my walls were not perfect or square. I really appreciated the attention to detail and suggestions for edge types and overhangs. He asked if he could install the finished countertop the NEXT DAY! He caught me totally off guard as others indicated it could take "a week or two". Reason was that his schedule had him traveling/installing in the southern portion of Chicago in a few days and wanted to accomodate me sooner. That was very refreshing to hear from a customers' point of view. Well, circumstances at another job prevented him from installing the top the next day but he called me promptly and promised installing the following day, which he did. His crew arrived right on time and went about their business in a very professional manner. The finished product was fantastic and they cleaned up afterwards. I really appreciated the attention to detail and precision cuts to match my imperfect walls. Safe to say that I am very happy with their service and would recommend them to everyone.

They were really, really good. Bart was the sales contact and he was extremely helpful. He came out a couple of times and did all of the sizing, layout and configuration. They were one of the best. They were courteous, professional and prompt. They were right on top of it. They were excellent even through all the installation. They led us to the right granite place. I would highly recommend them.

Bart came out and did some measuring. Gave us a quote, we agreed upon a price and he told us to go an visit the granite factory and pick out our color. We picked out a color and within days his crew was back to replace our kitchen counter and sink. What a great job his crew did, they were very nice and finished the entire project within two hours. Great work, it is refreshing to have someone take pride in their work. I/we highly recommend their company. Plus they have great prices.

We were really happy with that experience. They came out very quickly and were able to do our kitchen using remnant granite, which dramatically decreased the price. They actually provided the lowest quote. We felt they provided quality service and they seemed to know what they were doing. They were very prompt and good at communicating with us.

They provided great service and were easy to work with. Their prices were great and were always on time. Everything was done quickly and professionally. Overall we were very happy with them. We are going to use them again for our bathroom.

They did a fabulous job. He was quick to respond and quick to install. He was so prompt and so courteous. Everyone on his team did an excellent job, and I would highly recommend them.
