We were given the option of going with him or going on our own to a distributor of granite slabs Countertops by Superior uses, located in Westwood, MA. We went out on our own, and, after looking at several of the "jet mist" (also called "Virginia Mist" by some, as it is sourced from a quarry in Culpepper, VA), we chose one that had a pretty uniform finish and moreover, had received an extra metal brushing treatment at the quarry to allow it to be classified as an "antique" finish, which is slightly more textured to the touch than honed, but having the same semi-polished, matte-like finish. One of the Countertop employees, Drew, had alerted us to this possibility before we went out. Prior to the distributor trip, we had visited Countertop's showroom in Rhode Island, and were first shown many different slabs they have in stock by Charlene, who runs the office, and was quite helpful. She also supplied us with a number of samples of alternative granite stones, which we took home to test them against our kitchen decor and colors. This process was quite helpful in convincing us that the "jet mist" - Bill's original suggestion - was indeed the best one. We decided to proceed to have only the kitchen countertop installed, deferring on the 2nd floor bathroom for stylistic, and for logistical reasons. A large wall mirror would have to be moved, and although Bill guaranteed it would be protected, we decided it was too much work, and later elected to repair the wood countertop surface. On the day we had scheduled, the two installers (whose names we have forgotten) arrived late morning, and spent the next 8 hours removing our old wood countertop and installing the new granite replacement. It is a rather involved process, and the obviously experienced installers also had to disconnect, move and raise our stove (1/2" to account for the difference in height between the old wood and new granite thickness), remove the wood backsplash (which involved cutting around cabinet braces, under a window sill, and around other abutting trim boards), and install a new 4" granite backsplash plus an 18"x 30" granite backsplash in back of the stove. The latter was an 11th hour decision by us after having originally agreed to install only a 4" backsplash in conformity with the remaining length. This showed the willingness of Countertops by Superior to include a late add-on without increasing the initial quoted price. The two installers were both professional and personable, and we were impressed with their skill. After the installers completed their assignment and left, we noticed that they had left some debris in the lower cabinet area, the top of which was left open during the installation process, as well as some sharp edged shims that had been left temporarily while the adhesive set to assure a level surface. It should be noted that our old wood countertop was not completely level to start with. We also noticed a slight open space showing from one side of the cabinet shelf next to our porcelain sink, where the granite abutted and extended over the sink edge, plus a very small chip in the new countertop. Drew made a couple of visits to our house to fix these "punch list" items (we found the chip the day after he came to fix the other items). Like all the other reps, he was most helpful. He also brought us a little bonus gift, which was a 1foot square granite cutting board taken from the same jet mist slab. Notwithstanding the aforementioned post-installation "fix" items, we think that Countertops by Superior did an outstanding job from start to finish, and would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to others. Their representatives are professional, straightforward and honest, but also personable and engaging.

When I first contacted the company in the summer of 2011, they were filled with jobs through the season, but Jack, the owner, kept my information so when I called in August of this year, they fit me in during the fall season. They are a very busy company because they have an excellent reputation and are one of the few companies that specializes in slate and copper and are capable of handling large jobs, such as slate-roof buildings at the local colleges. While I was looking for contractors, I found that few companies had the specialized expertise we wanted and not many companies really knew how to handle a slate and copper job as large as ours. A reliable slate-repair person we have used over the years for small repair jobs, recommended that this time we hire one of the better companies that specialized in slate because after 20 years we needed basic repairs to the structure of the back. I am very glad that we took this advice even though it meant waiting through an additional season. Jack Mahon and his crew (including his son) were great to deal with. Jack took the extra time to assess the over conditions of the roof, gutters, and house, giving us excellent advice about tackling ice dams, inside leaks, icicles, and heat loss through the roof. I feel confident that we have made a major improvement to the roof/gutters and a significant upgrade to our home that will last for many decades, hopefully ending our perennial struggle with leaks from ice dams, giant icicles, and falling frozen gutters. This was worth the expense.

Wayne, the owner of the company, got right back to me. During the first phone call, I asked Wayne for a ballpark estimate based on choosing a particular type of countertop so that neither of us would waste our time if the ballpark estimate was out of my budget. His ballpark was within my budget. We made an appointment to meet so he could show me samples, measure the counters for a template, and get me final costs. At the end of that appointment, he had exact costs, which were within a couple hundred dollars of his ballpark estimate. Lisa, Wayne's very efficient and friendly wife, mailed me the contract. We then scheduled an installation date. Wayne showed up with his assistant right on time on the installation date. Within an hour and a half or so, I had brand-new, absolutely gorgeous, seamless countertops in the kitchen and bathroom. I love them! What I love even more is having such a smooth transaction, which happened within just a couple weeks' time, from the time of my first call, to the installation. I will definitely use Wayne again when I get a new countertop for a second bathroom. His wife Lisa facilitated everything. Like most people, I really value having a good working relationship with people I hire. That's exactly what I got with Wayne, along with the gorgeous countertops.

"I had Total Remodeling handle several projects in my home, and when Nick came out, he helped me budget everything in a way that made it affordable without settling for cheap quality. Nick came out and was extremely thorough. He even showed me hidden damage from a bathtub leak behind the wall that I didn?t know about. They completely changed both of my bathrooms, and I was finally able to get rid of that outdated 1970s pink look, and the results are better than I expected honestly. They also helped me out with my front door, and I was able to completely customize the door and added new windows on both sides of it. About two months later, I had Nick back again to do my roof and gutters, which also came out fantastic. I couldn?t be happier with the work, I have no complaints, and I?m already looking forward to having them back in the spring to redo my kitchen!"

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Laminate countertops are generally the most cost-efficient, ranging from $8 to $27 per square foot.
