HP lacks the fancy showroom, but Tammy knows her business well and will bend over backwards to please her customers. Pricewise, they were comparable to most of the competition. Most offered a free sink with countertop purchase---usually a choice between one or two, and usually the lighter 18 gauge stainless steel. Tammy offers a wide selection of styles, and only in the heavier 16 gauge stainless. To save us the trip to Chicago to select our slab, she suggested we let her have a slab delivered to her shop for our approval, and if we weren't happy with it, she would send it back, no strings attached. No one else offered to do this without a contract and deposit first. She ordered it on a Friday; it was there on Monday. We viewed it and approved it and signed the contract. I can't say the installation was without problems. The day of installation, the crew arrived promptly, but it was determined that our water pipes sat too high, so a plumber would have to be called to lower them before the countertop could be installed. Installation took place the following day. Due to the cabinets not being level, shims were inserted on one end, though we believed them to be too few and too loose, which we feel played a part in the countertop cracking at the sink about a month later. Unable to repair it, Tammy replaced it at her cost. The installer tried to tell us that our cabinets had settled since the first countertop had been installed and told us that was why it had cracked. He, at first, refused to install the second one without us first having a contractor raise and level the cabinets. He said he could prove they had moved because of a gap where a cabinet insert had been originally installed. We pointed out that the gap had paint in it from our painting the cabinets prior to the first installation which proved it had already been there. The house is almost 35 years old. It settled a long time ago. With that, the installation continued. This time, shims were solidly placed and, now, several months later, all seems to be fine. We love the granite and how much it has improved the look of our kitchen and wouldn't think twice about dealing with Tammy again. She definitely puts the customer first. She was very responsive to any concerns we had and was determined to please. One thing we WOULD think twice about is the lifetime sealant offered by the former owner, who is also an employee. We had opted to pay the additional $225 to have it done. This is not a service performed by HP Granite, but Tammy is obligated to inform you of the availability. Upon replacement of the first countertop, the former owner refused to seal the replacement without being reimbursed again, which we opted against. We've since learned that denser granite may not even need to be sealed right away, if at all, and ours passes the and quot;water testand quot; as is. When necessary, we'll do it ourselves.

"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."

"I wanted to give them a great review, the owner is extremely friendly and patient and had fair prices. They were going to redo my paved patio and install front landscaping. I was away for work when they installed landscaping, I was told about the pavers for edging they were going to use. But when I came home, I saw that the just used leftover bricks from the patio. They put one with a huge rust stain right in front that looked terrible and one brick was cracked on the side part of edging. I Ended up Removing the edging all together and redid it myself with different edging. ( I was also supposed to have bright fuchsia-colored lilies and I had dark red.) Also, the entire outer row of bricks on my patio came loose. The owner called back and sent someone to fix it without any issue. It is ok now but they used yellowish sand when they came back to fix it and the other sand is gray. It is noticeably different, when I removed the patio rug there is a huge line of the hardened sand on the concrete that I cannot seem to get all of it out just yet. The owner also told me he would get me a specific ground cover for a portion of the landscape, and he never did. I was very excited when I hired them and had high hopes that my outside would finally look like it should. While it looks better than it originally did, I feel like they tried to cut some corners on this project that ended up costing me more afterward. I just wish they would have put a little more care into it and really made it a quality work."

FAQs for countertop repair projects in Lowell, IN
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
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.
Do you have any before and after photos of your work?
How long have you been doing this kind of work?
Do you clean up and dispose of waste when the job is finished?
Yes, you should hire a handyman who’s licensed, certified, and insured, if possible. States have different requirements for handyman licensing, registration, and certifications. If licensing is required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed handyman with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local handymen guidelines.
