I visited their showroom on Highway 13, and it was the only place out of four I had visited that day who couldn't provide me with an estimate. I had to schedule an in-home measurement in order to find out the cost. When they came out to measure I was asked if I had other estimates, and I did have two in writing. The salesperson told me they probably were wrong because they hadn't measured and couldn't be right. Much to my surprise I was told their cost would be higher than the estimates I had received! Another appointment had to be set to go back to their showroom in order to receive their estimate. The day before I received a call letting me know it was between $1500 and $2500 more than other estimates. They offer a free faucet, free sink, and free undermount lighting. At this point I had already gone 1.5 weeks without a kitchen faucet since mine broke. I had already ordered one, and asked if they could lower the price if I didn't need or want the free items. I was told no, it is included in the pricing. I then explained the appointment was no longer necessary.

"Entire process went well.  Each and every time I communicated with Paramount, I got a quick and professional response.  They were able to answer questions regarding how to deal with my bar height overhang and creatively able to utilize invisible bracket supports to prevent the need for some type of external bracket or corbel support.
The price was competitive and the bid very detailed so I was able to make sure I was comparing apples to apples.  I especially appreciated the extra time and effort they put in to figure out how to eliminate two seams on the island countertops without an extra charge required.
Once we decided to go with Paramount, they directed me to a couple of granite wholesalers to choose the slabs, once the slabs were at Paramount, I stopped out to discuss the layout with them.   Bryan did the measuring, on a Monday and a week and a half later on a Wed. the countertops were installed.  Entire process less than two weeks.
Lisa's communication through the entire process was professional and always very timely.  
Installation went as planned with the install crew dealing with the invisible brackets with some creative problem solving.  Entire install took 4 hours for all 7 pieces.  Looks great and they look beautiful!  Would highly recommend to friends and family and would use them for future projects.

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

Before making any big plans, climb up a step ladder and closely examine the top of your cabinets. You’ll get to see what sort of clean-up work needs to be done, but you can also check for any unexpected obstacles. Sometimes this space holds electrical boxes, wiring, or even plumbing components. Those will affect plans to install a new layer of cabinets or shelves.

You can cut countertops without chipping by using your saw correctly and having a new fine-toothed blade. You can also put masking tape on the front of the countertop material across the cut line and cut from front to back. However, it is very hard to cut countertops without chipping them, especially if they are made of stone or more fragile materials like laminate. The best advice is to know how to use the equipment, use the correct cutting method for the material, cut from back to front, move slowly, and practice on scrap material first.

Yes, countertop refinishing really works. It can help give your countertops a new and fresh look and extend their life by up to a decade. Countertop refinishing is a possible DIY project, or you can hire a pro if you prefer not to do it yourself.

You most likely purchased a quartz countertop because it won't stain or etch like marble. However, etching can still happen depending on the quality of the quartz and whether it is repeatedly cleaned with harsh chemicals or exposed to acidic spills. Remember, while quartz is more resistant than natural stone, just like Superman when faced with Kryptonite, it is not indestructible.

Comparing engineered stone vs. natural stone countertops can help you figure out if one is better than the other for you. The answer depends on your preferences, needs, and budget. You might choose engineered stone if you are looking for something more cost effective and low maintenance, but it is hard to beat the beauty of natural stone counters. You may prefer their longer lifespan, the uniqueness of each slab, and their durability.
