JAM Contracting LLCAwesome. Dennis really knows his stuff, and he and Joe were perfectionists when it came to installing the flooring and baseboards. We also got new laminate countertops that look like granite, and new kitchen cabinet doors/drawers and hardware. Just as meticulous. We love it. Looking to fix up...
KD Kitchen Baths & MoreI can’t say enough about this company. Bob and Lily go above and beyond any expectations to ensure customer satisfaction. The results are beautiful. I highly recommend Granite Masters. They do amazing work at a reasonable price.
Called, they came out next day to check and gave estimate 2 days later started repair. Finished next day.
Action Roofing IncA very quick and inexpensive repair done with professionalism and a quick response.

Also all types of concrete from stamped to foundations. For all your home building needs, please call.
"I hired Price Point Builders AFTER Bruce had come out to look at our project. He was a terrific guy and had incredible ideas and a plan for us. He said our project could be completed in less than a day. No worries. We were excited to have him on board with our idea and anxiously awaited his email quote. 5 days later, still no quote. I texted him and left several messages before he finally sent it. It was fair pricing for what we were expecting him to do. After accepting his bid and digging a 2 foot deep x 2 foot wide x 24 foot long trench as he instructed us to do before Friday June 30th when he said he would be arriving to begin the project at 8am. June 30th: 8am came and went. No call, no text. I texted and called him SEVERAL times. At 11:30 he finally called me and said he would not be able to make it until Monday. I told him it was unacceptable as we had asphalt coming on Monday. We needed to wrap this up. He said he would have someone come and start it but it would be a week before he could finish. I was so upset that he changed his story AFTER we accepted his bid and dug up our entire driveway next to our home for this to find he was not going to keep his word. He said that he drove by THAT MORNING to see if we dug the trench. ( I was calling and texting him for 3.5 hours, but he did not have the decency to reply - yet, he found it acceptable to drive by and not stop or contact me???) He actually started giving me all kinds of excuses as to why he could not do the job as promised and told me how busy he was. Then, he told me that my husband told him something about the job that was completely untrue - and was placing blame on my husband! Then, Bruce started making insinuations that I was lying about having asphalt laid the day before a holiday. I had ENOUGH. I called my husband and told him what Bruce had said and done, and my husband told me to call him and fire him now. I fired him on the spot. I told him we would not need his services and would be replacing him with another company. As I was telling him why, he kept talking over me like what I had to say just didn't matter. (and to him, it didn't matter.) Our entire project was put on hold and our timeline moved because he was not reliable. That is what it boils down to. It is a shame because he has an incredible mind and great ideas...just horrible follow-through. If you value your time, find a contractor who values your time as well."

Installing a marble backsplash costs about $2,200 on average, ranging from $600 to $6,000, depending on the variety of marble and the labor costs to prep and install. Common types of marble used for backsplashes include:
Makrana: $12 per square foot
Pink: $25 per square foot
Carrara: $40 per square foot
Statuatrio: $50 per square foot
Cultured: $65 per square foot

Marble countertops cost $3,000 on average, ranging from about $2,000 to $5,000, depending on the type of marble, square footage, location, and whether you use tiles or slabs. Another major cost factor to consider is the grading of the marble, which determines its quality level.
Use this grading system when selecting marble for countertops:
Grade A: Nearly perfect with subtle veining
Grade B: Minor flaws such as pits, fissures, or blotches
Grade C: Minor and major flaws like chipping and cracks requiring repair
Grade D: Significant damage needing repair, with dark veining and pronounced colors
Installing granite kitchen countertops costs about $3,250, ranging from $2,000 to $4,000, depending on the quantity and quality of the granite, use of granite tile or granite slabs, the type of granite, and its color and texture. Varieties of granite include:

Silver cloud: $35–$40 per square foot
Absolute black: $45–$60 per square foot

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.
