We selected Inspiration Design for a kitchen remodel project that included a new quartz countertop, sink, faucet and glass mosaic backsplash. The final product looks fantastic. There were several things that occurred during the installation that were concerning, and that is why we rated them as a “B”.

We really enjoyed working with the designer and appreciated Nancy's insight and advice on the product selections. We also liked that Nancy was not pushy in advocating for particular products or designs – she wanted to be sure the design was what we wanted.

During installation, the countertop installers found out that the peninsula slab was not cut correctly. (This after a technician had spent 2 ½ hrs measuring the kitchen using a computer laser.) Luckily, the error could be resolved by cutting the new slab. They were able to get the new slab cut very quickly, and this only delayed the project by 2 days. The countertop installers did a great job. The slab needed to be seamed in two places, and these are barely noticeable.

For the plumbing hookup, we had a slow leak in the sink plumbing that was causing a calcified deposit on an intake pipe. We had asked Inspiration to fix this during the install. We had to call the plumber back once because the pipe was still leaking.

The backsplash tile looks great, but the tile install team did not do a good job cleaning up after themselves. I spent at least two hours cleaning cabinets and flooring after they left. They also left silicone smudges on our brand new quartz countertop. I found some mosaic glass in the grass in our front yard.

Inspiration had dedicated individuals for scheduling the teams, but there was a little hiccup in scheduling. The scheduler gave me a 12 to 2 window for the second countertop installation, but the team arrived at 8 am.

We are very pleased with our new kitchen – it looks fantastic and seems like it will hold up for many years. We expect that installation glitches can occur, but felt that Inspiration Design could have prevented some of the glitches.

"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

Original Gorilla Glue is not a good choice for laminate countertops. It is not a contact cement, which is the best choice for this material, and it does not explicitly state that it should be used on laminate. Perhaps the best reason to avoid using Gorilla Glue on laminate is that it expands three times its original size, which could lead to your laminate being pushed away from the countertops.

The best type of wood for countertops is hardwood. Hardwood is much more durable and resilient than softwood, so it won’t scratch or dent as easily. Oak, cherry, maple, walnut, and teak are all popular options that are relatively common in North America. Some homeowners prefer to use pine or cedar, but make sure to seal your countertop to help prevent damage. Yellow pine fares better than white pine.

Yes, it is possible to cover old countertops with new ones. Using a countertop overlay to cover your existing countertop is a good way to get a totally new surface without removing your old countertops. This method can be more cost-effective and less time-consuming than a total replacement.

The most expensive countertop materials are marble and granite. These natural materials are very heavy and require specialized tools and knowledge to install. Their natural veins and flecks elevate the design and make a beautiful statement in the kitchen or bathroom. Because they’re natural, no two countertops will be the same. 

The best tool for cutting countertops depends on the type of countertop material. For some softer materials, like laminate (Formica) and butcher block, you can use a hand saw, but most experts recommend power saws like circular saws, since these make the job go faster and easier and give more even results. However, power saws and circular saws are dangerous if used incorrectly, and they can be so powerful that they damage or chip laminate, stone, and other types of countertops. For this reason, you should take safety precautions and use best practices to prevent damage.
