My one and only complaint is about the quality of the countertops in one of the kitchens. They shed constantly, leaving a coating of grit every single day. I had them resealed (for $500), to no avail. I don't blame Prestige for this, but rather the provider of the granite (around the corner from them in Woburn). As I have come to find out, the particular "family" of granite chosen for one of the kitchens is notorious for this problem. They undoubtedly know about it and should have shared the information. By the way, the shedding granite was the more expensive of the two purchased. The "C" rating above is reflective of the counter problem. Everything else was A+. Beware of the "Giallo" granite family, but definitely go to Prestige for your kitchen designs, counters, and cabinets."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/woburn/prestige-kitchen-and-bath-reviews-407476.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Granite Depot Inc","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Amy C."},"reviewBody":"UPDATE - CRIMINAL PRO SE FILED w/ THIRD DISTRICT COURT:

FIVE-STAR SCAMMER! UNLESS YOU HAVE a GOOD LAWYER and/or WANT THE HASSLE of INVOLVING LAW ENFORCEMENT, DON'T ENGAGE ...
In March 2014, I engaged with Granite Depot, Inc. + J. Filho to purchase Seville-branded kitchen cabinets for my new home. A deposit of $18,750 was paid via check -- 75%, which I have since learned is non-standard / excessive in the industry. Per Filho, cabinets were to be ordered thru partnership with another vendor in Seekonk, MA. While I did meet with the vendor, I have no evidence to confirm or deny to what degree this vendor was ultimately engaged. This is simply the claim I got from Filho both verbally and in writing.
After a significant amount of back-and-forth, I received word from Filho on on 4/7 order for cabinets had been signed off on, indicating a May delivery. On 5/5, I began pushing Filho for a firm delivery date, which resulted in a series of conflicting & false responses (all in writing). On 5/22 I received first solid indication there was a problem; Filho claimed his business partner in Seekonk had taken the deposit but did not order. Again, I have no evidence to confirm or deny whether this if fact. It's important to note that before this Filho came "half clean," he said was engaged in conversations with Seville, the cabinet manufacturer, directly to 'check on escrow' and indicated that he had 'threatened to cancel as a result of the delay' (this is all in writing). Skeptical because the pieces did not fit together, I separately contacted Seville twice. During first conversation, I learned the only approved reseller was in Rhode Island -- but both Filho and his associate operate out of Massachusetts. During the second conversation, I learned no order was placed and neither party had authorization to resell despite promoting so (also have a note from March in writing indicating that Filho "had done a lot of business with Seville").
Needless to say, demanded my money back from Filho. While Filho has claimed to be an "honest person" and has made many promises to make good of this situation, I have not received any return of that deposit or any demonstration of goodwill. In early July I called an in-person meeting to go over the situation and highlights of the timeline of events. Filho again indicated he'd resolve but all evidence to date remains to the contrary. In fact, he's used my long-delayed reporting of this horrid situation to the Attorney General as another convenient excuse not to start returning the deposit of $18,750 -- as he promised he would do both in-person and in writing.
Further, and while all this nonsense has gone on and on, I was faced with reordering cabinets through another company and paying for them. I also was subjected to other resulting costs and hardship including no occupancy of my home & 4 mths/$10k in rent for shelter, etc. Not only is the situation unethical and immoral it's also illegal and equates consumer fraud and grand larceny.
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE'S MORE ...
Previous to this, I foolishly engaged in November 2013 for granite counters. While the matter is 'resolved,' it's also not a happy story. I provided a deposit of $5.6K, which was only half of what I would have owed Filho had I continue to engage on the countertops piece. Due to the above (and more!), I asked to stop the churn and cut ties.
At the in-person meeting in July Filho agreed that he would 'release' the granite to me. He also insisted the granite had already been paid for / 'was all set' and 'not to worry' even when probed and asked if he could produce a receipt (he said he could; he never did). Not only was it not paid but the cost to him was a modest $3K. It was a fraction of what I'd already paid Filho in November!
So, to add insult to injury, I was being subjected to complete price gauging. Further, when Filho did finally attempt to pay for the granite, he bounced the check to the warehouse. This again caused delays, hassles and complications. So, if you do the math, Filho, for all my hassle, extracted $2.6K profit on the granite counters alone.
Oh, and as a side, Filho had promised that for doing business with him vanities would be done free-of-charge (in writing!). When the cabinet situation unfolded, he then attempted to associate value with a vanity and a way to "work off the missing $18,750." A vanity top did show up and was installed cracked from top to bottom and front to back. The sink hole was cut crooked. The holes were drilled willy nilly. Installation included damaging my sink to the point I had to reorder. And damaging my vanity including sawing through it, requiring extensive repairs. When I sent a note saying I was rejecting the vanity, there was no response. When I finally got attention, he'd said he'd not heard from me but retracted when I sent him the note in writing. My husband and I had to remove the mess and return it to his store.
Yes, I could write a book! Or Filho could -- a book for fiction, that is!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/saugus/granite-depot-inc-reviews-7803870.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"SPECIALTY KITCHENS INC","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"James L."},"reviewBody":"Whole project was timely and went according to expectations.

Ed replaced the material on my front and side porches. He and his helper Hunter worked very neatly and did the job in the time agreed upon. They removed flagstone and replaced it with granite. Final product looks great, Ed is a pleasure to work with, and the final price matched his estimate.

"I hired Long Roofing Products to replace my roof. From the beginning the sales man lied to me, telling me that they could take off my Gutter Helmets and put them back on correctly. This was lie #1. They have null and voided the warranty of my gutter helmets, because they were not supposed to touch them and according to Gutter Helmets all the roofers know this. lie #2 there were missing pieces on the ends of my gutter helmets to prevent the birds from getting into the gutters. The salesman told me they would order the piece from Gutter Helmets and replace it. This was never done. I have contacted them several times and they continue to tell me they will fix it and they never do. I would NEVER recommend them, I would only tell you NOT to use them. They talk a big game but never follow thru with their promise's."

FAQs for granite countertop service projects in Melrose, MA
The cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small projectto $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.
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.
Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The best time of year to remodel your home is late winter and early spring when fewer homeowners are thinking about projects and pros are more available. Also consider the type of remodel you want and plan ahead as much as possible. For example, the summer is a great time of year to update your fireplace, but winter is a better option for fixing foundations and building room additions.
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.
