"

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.

"There were some problems not related to quality of work. I told him what days i was not available. they chose one of those days and nobody informed me when they were coming. I had to call them to find out. they brought the wrong countertops. I told them but I agreed to keep them because i had chosen them first and then had changed them. I agreed to keep them but they owed me a small refund which took a while to com my way."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, a 12-inch countertop overhang will need support to keep it stable. The exact type of support depends on your countertop thickness and material. Thicker, heavier countertops need extra support, like a corbel or a post, to keep them from sagging or toppling over.

Porcelain is a relatively affordable, mid-range countertop material. It typically costs between $50 to $70 per square foot.

Compared to quartz, porcelain is slightly more affordable, as quartz generally ranges from $50 to $200 per square foot. However, lower-quality, builder's grade quartz can be similar in price to porcelain.

Compared to granite, the price can be similar, depending on the quality of the stone. While granite slabs can range from $50 to $200 per square foot, you can find lower-end granite in the same price range as porcelain. High-end granites will cost significantly more.

Porcelain is generally more expensive than laminate, acrylic, and ceramic, but less expensive than high-end slate, concrete, and marble. A key benefit is that porcelain does not require sealing, which reduces long-term maintenance costs.

While epoxy resin is generally durable, it is not scratch-proof. Some sources state it is highly resistant to scratches from minor sources, while others note it can scratch and chip easily from sharper or heavier items. To prevent damage, always use a cutting board and avoid sliding heavy or rough-bottomed objects across the surface. If a scratch does occur, be aware that epoxy can be difficult to repair by sanding, often requiring an orbital sander for effective results.

You can revamp your laminate countertops effortlessly with the magic of paint, the DIYer's ally. Many tutorials and DIY kits are available to help you achieve the look of natural stone, including marble. So why not unleash your creativity and transform your countertops into stunning pieces that will leave everyone in awe of your artistic prowess?

Yes, many services include the removal and disposal of old countertops. Confirm with your installer.
