"They updated both my kitchen and my screened-in patio and did a great job with both. They completed both in five weeks. They cleaned up after themselves. Discussed any changes or decisions that we needed to make together. I am very pleased with the work and would recommend them to anyone."

"From beginning to end, John was a pleasure to work with. I had a wall removed and throughout the whole process, John was on top of everything. He reached out to me the same day after submitting my inquiry. John made suggestions on my different options for the wall, put together a detailed diagram of the work to be done, and gave me an estimate very quickly. The work turned out great. I’ll definitely be reaching out to John, should I need any other work done in the future."

"Tom did a wonderful job. He tore down our existing porch and hauled it all away. He cleaned up everyday before he left. Very Professional. Our new porch is beautiful, the quality is excellent. He made sure everything was done top notch. The price was very reasonable. He actually did extras that we weren't even expecting. We would definitely recommend him!!!!!!!! He even made friends with our dog. She ate lunch with him everyday.."

"The work went ok. I asked him to mount my tv and he drilled several holes into the wall looking for studs instead of using a stud finder. Then he chipped paint off the wall hanging some hooks and left scuff marks in several places. He was nice enough and did the job but then made a comment almost like I was asking him to do too much. Overall, it was alright but I don’t think I’d recommend them to anyone or at least not the guy who came to do my work."

Stone Countertops questions, answered by experts

One of the primary benefits of a soapstone countertop is that the material is heat-resistant. You can put a hot pan on soapstone, and it won’t scorch or crack. Despite being able to handle extreme heat, soapstone is much softer than granite, quartz and similar materials. This means that it scratches easily, so you should not prepare food directly on the surface.

The angle at which you cut countertops depends on the material, your intended outcome, and the location of the cut. For example, rather than cutting a straight 90-degree angle for internal corners, cut edges at a 45-degree angle to give a clean, professional look. For outside edges, most homeowners want squared-off sides, so 90-degree angles can make the most sense there. Because you want to get angles exactly right to minimize seams and eliminate the need for patching, be sure to measure several times before cutting and use the right equipment to get sharp, accurate angles.

Yes, you can generally put hot pans directly on a granite countertop without worrying about cracking, as it is a durable, heat-resistant stone that can withstand high temperatures. However, it is still highly recommended to use a trivet or hot pad as a precaution. Prolonged or repeated exposure to high heat can potentially cause discoloration or damage the countertop's sealant, making it more susceptible to staining. Additionally, the heat from a pan can transfer to the granite, creating a burn hazard for anyone who touches the surface shortly after.

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.

Sintered stone and quartz are both low-maintenance materials resistant to water damage and scratching. However, quartz can be damaged by temperatures over 150°F, while sintered stone is heat-resistant up to 300°F. Both materials are comparable in cost, so ultimately, the decision will hinge on your preferences.
