"Wow, where do I begin, well let's start with Sam responded quickly and came on time for the inital onsite estimate. During our walk thru, I explained exactly what I needed done. He then presented an estimate quickly (which I was impressed). He was also able to work around my work schedule to fit me in, much appreciated so, so far so good. We'll, I spoke too soon! The day he arrived q/19/2021 @ 8am (on time) it went down hill. Meaning, he seemed angry, hostile and nothing like the inital estimate. DIL, if he had a bad morning and didn't have his coffee but he was very moody.l to say the least. He came in (not speaking) or explaining where he was going to start 1st and began to install a toliet and new vanity in my LL Powder room. He installed it and while he was coming upstairs to start the shower base (in the master bath) I asked him how it went with the 'LL install. He then said, "well, there's a small hairline leak in the back of the toliet". I than said, "why didn't you tell me for I have 2 new toliet in the garage?" He didn't answer and began to start working on the 2nd bath tub. Let me say, I'm remodeling my home so it's gutted and redo the two baths and kitchen. With that, after he finished the other 2 bathrooms he said he's use one of the new toliet and replace the old one cuz it was missing a part anyway. I found that he opened one of the new toliet boxes (without asking or telling me. Took a part from one of the new toliet to apply to the older one he had already installed. This guy was a nightmare to say the least! Who does that? Come on, don't you think I would need that same part for the new one? It was luck that he exchanges the old one for a new one and could use the same part! Ugh, I also ran to the store to pick up parts he needed (I offered and didn't mind) but when I asked him if he had a bucket tonrun water diwn both drains he just installed he looked at me like I was "ASKING TOO MUCH" but I insisted to ensure there weren't any leaks (which there weren't) THANK GOD! He was very unprofessional, disrespectful and to be quite honest arrogant. I just wanted him to leave and never hire him again for the rest of the work he quoted. I should have listened to the warning when he said he wasn't busy for sometime and sitting at home. I now understand why cuz he's mean and unprofessional and good Handyman are busy. Lesson learned and don't hire this "moody dude" there's someone better out there I promise and I will find him/her the next time. Consider yourslef warned! GOOD LUCK!"

Formerly know as G & G Furniture and Cabinet Restoration - Same Ownership since 1976 - We specialize in Refacing/Painting & Restoration of cabinets. All of our cabinets include custom doors, stain colors, paint colors, and finishing options. We also specialize in full Kitchen & Bath Remodeling, Counter Tops, Interior Doors, and all trim including crown molding.Tell us what you want to spend, and we will work out a plan to meet your budget.
"We researched several kitchen restoration companies and finally selected 3 of them to give us estimates for painting our outdated oak cabinets in the kitchen and master bathroom. The price ranged widely among the 3 companies. One estimate was extremely high. GG Kitchen Restorations was the cheapest estimate however, once we had each company come out and had them explain what they were going to do it was very evident that GG Restorations was going to be a one-stop shop for us to get everything done as we needed and with high quality workmanship. We did have a couple of extra small issues in the cabinets that needed to be fixed prior to the painting prep could start and the other 2 companies would either charge us a huge amount to do a drastic re-design which really wasn’t needed or said they wouldn’t do that type of work and left it up to us. GG Restorations was more than willing to help us get past these small barriers and get our dream kitchen to our specifications at a reasonable cost. Frank and his team were great. Frank is very pleasant and fun to work with and he takes the time to really get to know what you want. Chris and Tim, that did the work in the house, did excellent work, and they never left a mess. Our kitchen and bathroom look great and what a transformation from old to a modern look. We highly recommend GG restorations to anyone."

"We hired Design First to redo our downstairs including a kitchen and bathroom. I would never recommend this company to anyone based on our experience with them. The company should be renamed Disappointment First. We used this company due to the recommendation of a friend but did not realize the ownership had changed. There are several other reviews that discuss how the company’s performance degraded with the new ownership. If you do use Design First, please learn from our mistakes in dealing with them and insist upon a firm completion date with a penalty per day for missing it. Several of their competitors offer this, and in our naivete we did not request a penalty for missing the completion date. We had a signed change order with a guaranteed 12/25/23 completion date, that they missed by several months. When we brought this up in discussions with them, they were dismissive and stated no penalty so nothing we can do."

Since knowing how to install countertops correctly requires in-depth knowledge and understanding of the topic, we recommend hiring a professional countertops installer near you to work on this project. Kitchen countertops are a high-visibility investment, meaning mistakes made during DIY installation will be easy to spot, may cause damage, and potentially require re-purchasing materials. Professional countertop installers have the skills, tools, and experience to place your new kitchen feature safely and correctly.
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.
The best way to save money on countertop installation is to choose an affordable material. For example, if you have a busy kitchen and need durability, choose a more affordable but lasting material like granite countertops. Likewise, if you don't use your countertops often, you can use a softer material that costs less than more sturdy ones.
Another way to cut costs is to remove and dispose of the existing countertops yourself, if possible. That way, countertop installers can get straight to placing the new feature, reducing labor costs.
It typically takes one to three days to install kitchen countertops. A few factors like size and material impact the time it takes to install a countertop. For example, if you have two slabs of countertop material, it won’t take as long to install as placing several custom pieces of countertop.
This timelines allows for removing existing countertops and any plumbing disconnect and reconnect that needs to happen. Plan on the higher end of the time frame if you've chosen custom countertops versus large slabs.
