"Jose did an excellent job of installing new countertops in my 2nd floor condo kitchen. I was especially happy there were no seams. He had a pleasant and professional manner. Thank U Jose my kitchen looks great!!"
"Pros: It went well, and the overall quality is good - they offered alternative solutions other contractor estimates did not (to help lower the cost). They take pride in their work and are willing to go the extra mile for satisfaction, even after work completion. Cons: We put our deposit in and signed a contract a few months before the job, and it wasn't until a week or two before the job we found out the material was discontinued (after we already selected paint color and floor design from separate contractor) We were forced into their schedule, after noting certain restrictions we had with working midnight shift. (for items like inspections and lingering things after the "scheduled" work was complete)."
George (Jorge) was exactly on time when he came for the estimate. He recommended a paint brand that was very nice (Sherwin Williams Cashmere) and carefully documented the areas of work. His estimate was right in line with what I was expecting. He set a start date of the 14th.
A company rep (his son), called the day before to check-in and let me know they would arrive at 7 am. They were on time, pleasant and professional. The covered my floors and new carpet an got straight to work. The house took 2 1/2 days and each day they started exactly at 7 and let me know the plan of the day. They returned a fourth day to paint the deck since it had been raining.
The inside of the house and the deck look brand new!! They paid attention to detail, filed all nail holes, and always let me know where they were in project. I could not be happier with the great work they did. I am very picky, but could only find 2 small areas that needed touch-ups.
The crew also helped me move an old love seat and set-up my new table. I was so relieved because I had no idea how I was going to do it. They were so helpful.
This a family company with great employees and I am so happy I found them!! I would definitely recommend them and hire them again!!!
"They tackled the items on the list, working quicly, but did not quite finish. We discussed having them come back another day, adding some more items. Garry gave an estimate of the time needed which we thought was very fair. We were pleased with their work and will definitely have them back."

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts
The best budget-friendly countertop option depends on personal preference. Concrete is a great alternative to more expensive materials, as it can be cured and treated for unique designs. Another cheap material worth considering is plywood. It can be laminated or stained to suit nearly any aesthetic. Granite remnants are also a good choice.
If you need to make curved cuts on your laminate countertop, get out the jigsaw. A jigsaw with a fine blade will allow you to follow curved traced lines. It is important to cut slowly and to let the jigsaw do most of the work with you acting as a guide.
Mitered edge countertops are usually 2 to 2.5 inches thick. The thickness accounts for the 45-degree angle required to form a seamless corner, resulting in a dramatic and thick-edged appearance.
Engineered stone countertops range in price between $60 and $200 per square foot. The three main types are quartz, recycled glass, and sintered stone. The most affordable is sintered stone, which is ideal for outdoor kitchens and costs $60 to $100 per square foot.
Recycled glass countertops fall in the middle at $65 to $140 per square foot and offer a very distinct look. Meanwhile, quartz counters are on the higher end of the price range at $50 to $200 per square foot. Popular quartz options mimic the look of natural stones like marble and granite.
Start your search for a reliable countertop contractor online, and look for companies that have high ratings from past customers. Check each of these companies on the Better Business Bureau website and rule out any that have a high number of complaints or an overall low rating. Next, contact the remaining companies and ask for a list of references and examples of past work. It’s best to choose a provider that has references that are still pleased with the work years later and one that provides professional-looking examples of how it serves its customers.
