VPT Quartz We are a stone company based out of New York that specialize in-door and out-door home construction or Renovation project. We work with wide selections of stone, from Granite, Marble, Quartz and more. We Specialize in Designing, fabricating and installing the stone. Our main focus is to execute each project to perfection with minimum affect to your daily routine.

"Background- I was finally able to afford a new counter top- did research and Angi/Home Advisor kept coming up.So I checked out what was offered for counter tops - 3 came up -2 did not respond and VPT Quartz or Vilorio's Personal Touch. I had an estimate appt on 7/18/24. A "MIKE" showed show up eventfully - very late & full of excuses. Since he was so late I decided to let my Pit Bull & German Shepard- ( since they been locked up for a few hrs. And I was doing some yard work. He did not show any respect for the time it me to put the dogs away again and clean up. I told him I didn't appreciate him showing up like that with no call- he stated he text me but I have a landline (which I made very clear to Brian (office person) so again another excuse. I let him come in (free estimate anyway & a 5 star rating). Mike comes in and starts with the great deals he has. Then starts doing measurements just by pushing my stuff that I had left On the counter out of the way like garbage. Which I found disrespectful. Lucky(????) for me MIke has a piece of quartz that would fit- a speckled white. Mike will give a good price $1300 -I said like to think about it. Then Mike throw in another deal (that's because he didn't like the over the counter sink I had & the faucet installed myself professionally w/o no problem) but I knew that the sink & faucet deal($100) was ok. So I agreed. ;Mike stated he would come back to make sure he had the right measurements, called I to make the appointment and right away Brian asked for installation date - I responded "NO" but the date Mike was to come back for measurements. Then Brian asked for a $700 deposit & I stated I only had $500- But Mike really it was to collect the deposit(rude again) so as not to assist with my project. Installation Date:7/25/24 between 1-3 PM 3 strangers & a kid show up & no Mike(supposedly the installer), no Identification on them or the truck (which was a beat up pickup truck) Some impression ,huh. When I asked where Mike was, they said he was coming- later. So I waited a little while , NO MIKE, and still concerned why a young child was brought to the job. I ended up letting them in ( a little **** about the child in the truck with nothing to do). Out of kindness I moved my truck out the way so it would be helpful for them to get the counter top in. NO appreciation. Like it was expected. They ripped out the old sink,faucet & counter top and left in the driveway. I had to show them the contract that stated they would be responsible for disposal- I got an attitude about that. The Counter top had to wait because the sink had to go in first. That's done and the counter top installed & looks good. The Faucet: It was a problem for the workers ( I call them workers/laborers because I noticed none of them were plumbers, or skilled laborers) The Hot water connection was no problem. The Cold water connection must have been ripped out when they took the sink out(I'm guessing , because again I had installed a faucet with no problems. The connections the laborer ( not a plumber) to the Faucet had no pressure(I thought that maybe the hose they used was the wrong size) & he didn't know what to do about it ;looks like he use a few junk connectors, a faulty turner (one that looks like you would use on an outside faucet) ,jimmy it together and it leaks. What a mess they left. I had to re- sweep under the sink area, the counter top where they had to drill a bigger hole because the faucet didn't fit that need a total wipe down causing dust which then I had to vacuum. And I had left the area spotless and expected to be returned to the same cleanliness I had done. I called about the situation and spoke with Brian again and he would contact MIKE .Mike came explained the sometimes stuff get into the faucet during installation and he brought an extra faucet head. I also mentioned that it was leaking - Mike checked and didn't feel a leak.Why because his hands were wet???? Who checks for leak with wet hands Then Which happened to get me thinking that the sink & faucet was the closing of the deal. No favor to me. Well folks I had to call again because now it is still leaking. I called 7/28 to report this problem and Brain stated that Mike will be out either 7/30 or 7/31. Never heard back."

"THIS IS A SCAM! They took our deposit and ran! Four Seasons sent over a 'salesman' who lied to us to get us to hand him over a $9000 deposit to build a sunroom on the back of our home. We were worried about fees and zoning issues with our town, and Four Seasons kept telling us all will be okay. But when our town raised zoning issues, Four Seasons refused to rectify the issues, and stop returning our calls and emails. They have ghosted us with our deposit and have not delivered any service. This is a SCAM! DO NOT HIRE THEM!"

Hampton Design and Build is pleased to be partnering with HomeAdvisor to offer our full service addition, design and remodeling services to the greater East End area. We have been in business for over 30 years and we pride ourselves in our exemplary service, our craftsmanship and attention to detail. Being a full service contracting company there is no need to go anywhere else. Please call for a free estimate.

"We have done projects with different contractors, but putting an addition on to our house was by far the biggest project we had ever done. We were terrified of its breadth and complexityâ particularly as concerned making the house comfortable for my elderly parents and more accessible for my son, who uses a wheelchair. We met with several contractors and chose HDB both because their bid was more reasonable and because we had a gut feeling of trust that, fortunately for us, never ebbed throughout the process. Choosing HDB was the best decision we have ever made in the 10 years we have owned our house, and we will continue to solicit their expertise for any future work. At every step of the process they demonstrated their authenticity, integrity, empathy and expertise. For questions we had about anything, big or small, we received a response within a day. We added two and half rooms and bathrooms to ones side of the house. Based on his vast experience in our area, Dale had important, smart suggestions for modest but powerful improvements elsewhere in the house that would not have occurred to me but proved to be invaluable--and increased the value of our home dramatically. He navigated town permit issues. Cost was very reasonable and if there were any questions, he was open to discussing and adjusting. Diane had superb design instincts, which saved us from hiring another professional, and as part of the fee she sent wise suggestions for vanities, light fixtures, paint colors, rugs and more; and then ordered the items directly. Both obviously cared about us and the project and made everything as easy as possible for us. Most projects we had done previously had faltered at the end, with smaller punch list items; but as usual, Diane and Dale were responsive til the final t was crossed and I dotted. HDB is a rare company with skill and expertise but also with a passion for their work and a spirit of kindness and concern for their clients that made a house addition â something we dreaded--actually fun. Thanks HDB!"

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

Quartz countertops are relatively expensive, but they’re a very popular option because of their durability and attractive design. Some manufacturers also offer lifetime guarantees for their products. Even though they’re expensive, they could wind up being a one-time purchase.

Porcelain is a relatively affordable, mid-range countertop. It’s less expensive than other popular materials, including quartz, slate, concrete, and marble. It’s similar in price to the average, low-end or mid-range granite or quartzite countertop (high-end options cost more). It’s more expensive than laminate, acrylic, and ceramic.

However, note that porcelain doesn’t come with very many long-term maintenance costs. If it breaks, you’ll still need to make repairs, but it won’t need regular sealing like concrete and natural stone.

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.

Corian tends to be slightly cheaper than granite when used in fixtures like kitchen countertops. However, the price difference is fairly negligible and largely depends on the type of granite you choose. Corian can be a budget-friendly and durable choice, plus it doesn’t require as much regular maintenance, which keeps long-term costs down. 

It all comes down to rarity and demand. Granite rocks with unique patterns or rare colorways like red, purple, and blue are more expensive than traditional designs. Some types of blue granite are extremely rare, like Azul Aran and Blue Bahia, driving the price up even further. The most expensive type of all is a unique design called Van Gogh granite. As the name suggests, it sort of looks like a painting.
