Best countertop and backsplash pros near Forest Heights, MD

"After moving into our new house, my wife wanted a new look to the dated kitchen, so I decided that after work and on weekends, I would sand, stain, and refinish the cabinets. After several dozen hours of work, regret set in as blisters formed on my fingers from the sanding and the stain wasn't giving me a uniform color. I then contacted Pyramid Granite. The Pyramid Granite team was great! They patiently talked us through options and worked with us to get an amazingly beautiful kitchen that regularly receives compliments from family and friends."

"Everything went well initially. Countertop looked great. However, when I told the man in charge to remove the remainder off of my deck, he was obviously annoyed. I had told when he was taking it out that I only wanted ONE piece of the countertop left with me and showed him the piece I wanted. He had an obvious attitude and then went out to his truck and made me wait another 30 minutes to return to take it. They left a mess under the countertops (crumbled countertop, etc.) although they did sweep my floor. When I really looked at it afterwards, I notice that they cracked my backsplash and didn't tell me. Also, the plumber was great who came a couple of hours late, however, he told me the countertop crew had thrown away a part I needed to hook my garbage disposal back up so I had to give him $30 to replace it. Atila, the salesman/owner was wonderful during the sale process and very responsive. However, I was expecting a follow up call which didn't happen. The price was good for the work that was done."

"Let me start by saying I am thrilled with my new countertops. Everyone I dealt with at this company was friendly and professional. They have very competitive prices and really stand out by offering a free sink and free installation. The two gentlemen that did my installation were absolutely wonderful. They were meticulousand ensured everything was level and properly supported prior to laying the granite. They laid drop cloths and cleaned behind themselves as they went. I will certainly be recommending this company to anyone looking to purchase granite countertops.

"The owner of Stone Depot, Nick Papas, offers hands on professional service.   I am a realtor, so great service is part of my professional standard and I appreciate it in others.  Nick was always available by phone and was very responsive.  I was nervous about selecting my granite, and I changed my mind at the last minute.   Nick was very gracious and allowed me to select another granite that I preferred. His team arrived for the installation on time and did an outstanding job.  The was a minor issue with caulking, and Nick sent someone out the next day to finish it off.  I could not be more happy with my granite and Stone Depot.  I was advised to personally select my slab of granite - which I did.  All granite is different, so that was good advice.  The location for selection was in Sterling VA, which was great for me since I live in VA.
I also checked out Counter Intelligence, but found the salesman was not very concerned and did not go the extra mile to get my business.  I  had to drive all the way to Silver Spring MD to look at samples of granite slabs.  That was to far to go.  Also, their price quote was higher.  The smaller company atmosphere at Stone Depot was a much better choice for me.  I highly recommend them!

"Working with Creative Surfaces was a great experience, from start to finish! I wasn't sure which material to use for a new kitchen counter, so they helped me to decide on Staron, based on my work needs, and offered suggestions on color, sinks tyles and counter design. When they arrived at our house to take measurements and assess the work, Mark arrived promptly, and spent a lot of time inspecting the kitchen. We explained some of our concerns, which were the results of a REALLY BAD experience with a kitchen contractor who did an earlier remodel. That previous contractor made a lot of errors, took bad shortcuts, and left inferior work that would make the new counter installation a bit more challenging: the old (laminate) counters were not level, cabinets were not flush-mounted with the walls, and walls were not level. The counter installation required a lot more work than the average job. To correctly install the counter, Mark needed to make a lot of corrective work, such as re-adjusting cabinets to ensure they were level, making modifications to a section of drywall so the counter would lay flat against the walls, and more work that he didn't anticipate. I had purchased two faucets, and wasn't sure which we preferred. Mark helped us choose between the two, and installed the faucet for us. When I mentioned that we were in the process of waiting for an IKEA-approved contractor to call us back (after three messages left with contractor) regarding our IKEA cabinetry needs, he suggested that he do it for us. We had been able to install doors ourselves, but we wanted a professional to help with the face-outs and toe-kicks. Mark took off the old face-outs and toe-kicks, took measurements, and brought the (new) replacements to his shop to measure and cut. Within a few days, he returned for the installation. He offered the above-and-beyond cabinetry work at no charge, in lieu of a recommendation, but I insisted on providing both--it really was a lot more work than he bargained for!!! We had such bad experiences with our previous work in the kitchen that I wasn't sure what to expect with this go-around. It was everything we could have wanted and wished for, and more. Based on our complete satisfaction with the kitchen counter installation, we've asked him to help us with counters for our two baths, and without hesitation recommend Creative Surfaces to others who are looking for new counters."

"Very well. Once we selected the piece of granite, the company obtained it wa sent to their shop. From the warehouse. They then worked with our contractor to arrange the time to measure for the countertop. They cut the granite and installed the countertop. It looks beautiful and the installation was hassle free. They are good craftspeople."
