I wanted to replace my kitchen counter with granite to give the kitchen a facelift. I wanted to use someone local, so I went to Frank's shop in New Jersey. I spoke with Frank Junior, and he said his mother Trish would contact me. I spoke with Trish, who was lovely, and Frank Junior came out to measure the following week. Frank Senior was somewhere down south, doing a sizeable job, so I mostly dealt with Frank Junior. I wanted a yellowish counter, but Frank Senior had sent me a picture of a High End Granite that he could install for our size job. It's called Sainta Celcia and we love it. It was a little more brown, but a better choice for resale value down the road. The following week, his installers came to do the job. They removed the old countertop, and installed the granite, and the rest is history. We are Extremely Happy, and you have to look for the seam to find it. The kitchen is now transformed and is absolutely Stunning!!!
Sincerely and Very Happy, Patty Matone & Philip Ciabattoni

Frank informed us that he would be replacing our existing sink with a new sink but we would pay for the faucet. The plumbing to reconnect the new faucet was a separate charge and was done by a plumber that routinely worked with Frank. On our first visit, Frank discussed the full cost with us and we agreed on it. A couple of days later, as planned Frank came to measure the template for the counter top and also took the measurements for the backsplash area that would be tiled. We paid him a deposit that would be about 50% of the total cost.
The next week, on the day of the placement of the granite countertop, Frank's crew came early and removed the existing countertop and the material that had been the backsplash. Although there had been no signs of wear and tear, the material was taken off quite well. The heavy granite countertop, although in two separate pieces for the two areas took a lot out of his crew but they did a superb job and applied the glue and the necessary grout where the 3 inch granite backsplash meets the countertop. They did a really good job putting the new sink, making sure all the new connections were ready for the plumber, and cleaning the kitchen. Frank arrived about early afternoon to check and ensure everything was handled to our satisfaction. I enjoyed talking with Frank on the details. He assured me the plumber would come and finish the job and he did. The payment was settled. I got to speak with Trish at the store and she was very helpful in relaying our messages to Frank. We are very satisfied and would certainly hire Frank again for a granite countertop.

I highly recommend Custom Stone By Frank. Small family run company, easy to work with, accommodated my work schedule. Frank came to template the counters on a Tuesday and installed the next Monday. They removed the old kitchen counters, windowsill and backsplash, disconnected (unscrewed) the sink, and replaced my kitchen counters, backsplash and windowsill with granite counters. Gave me a new sink too. I had looked around at several granite yards before I found Custom Stone. I had an idea of what colors I wanted. Trish took me out to look at their granite selection. Found just what I wanted. It was a small job (@38 square feet) in a 65 year old house. The install went well. Replacing anything in an older home leads to surprises. There was a problem with fitting the windowsill. They recut it and came back to install it. No muss, no fuss. I had lined up a plumber who came that afternoon to connect the sink and put in a new faucet. No downtime in the kitchen ? I couldn?t have asked for anything more. Great work for a good price.
