It was a beautiful craftsman style light wood mantle with green marble tile but it was large and the color of the tile was dated. Rolando suggested replacing it as part of a large update I'm doing. He said that his team could build a new stone fireplace for me.
I looked through many pictures of modern/contemporary stone fireplaces on Bing and found the picture of the fireplace I wanted. His team then picked the stone that most closely matched the picture and began to build the fireplace.
Many times when people try to recreate a picture, it comes out differently. In this case, it was almost exactly like the picture and I was really pleased.
When the final pieces were done, I was very happy but the designer who architected the fireplace wasn't. The stone that was against the wall didn't look up to his standards so he suggested a change. I originally didn't want a mantle on the fireplace because I don't plan on putting anything on it. The designer suggested that we put a small mantle and would face the edge of the limestone (which was rough) outward so it could be a nice contrast to the flat limestone that faced out on the rest of the fireplace. The I couldn't see it in my head but I've learned to trust him.
When the final project was finished, it was absolutely beautiful and the small mantle took what was already a beautiful stone fireplace to a place of beauty that I couldn't have imagined. Every time I walk by it, I smile. Rather than a very large fireplace that consumed the living space, I have this beautiful, elegant stone fireplace that is still the focal point of the room but is a piece of art.

There are MULTIPLE problems with my countertops. The installers never mentioned that 2cm granite needs to be installed over a plywood support; they just laid mine over the tops of the cabinets with a dab of construction adhesive. Right now I'm consulting with some competent professionals to see if they need to be pulled out and reinstalled. They also left a 12\" overhang granite bar inadequately supported. They told me that I could just go buy the right corbels at Home Depot -- but when (of course) Home Depot didn't have the right ones, they didn't return my calls. My contractor said that he'd used Campos before and that \"you can't even see the seams.\" Nonsense. I can see every single seam in the granite. In fact, there are even some places I'd describe as splotched. Most of the corners look like they were made entirely out of epoxy. There's even a ballpoint pen mark on one they mismeasured. He didn't mention anything about sealing the countertops -- although the first time I put a wet sponge on the granite I got a water spot. And finally -- this is the least of it -- he was never there when he said he was going to be and always in a rush when he did finally arrive. He was cheap -- I'll give him that.

I should say that this was his first job out on his own -- many of the problems (especially the mis-bidding) might have to do with inexperience. And I did get good value for the money I paid. But I do feel that he over-promises and under-delivers. While most things were done correctly, he will confidently undertake work that he doesn't quite know how to do -- with the predictable results. I caught him trying to brick up a window without installing tar paper underneath; I was told only after he left that I might need plywood decking under the granite. And it was only when I called the appliance guy (after he left) that the dishwasher was installed so that it wouldn't jam against the cabinets! Plus, he's not great with follow-through. This was a long job, and at the beginning everything was perfect. But as time went on things were sloppier; the very last job he did for me was installing a set of shelves, which he did wrong (not spaced per my instructions), slapped one coat of paint on, (not at all like his usual painting work) and said \"I'm done.\" He left a granite bar inadequately unsupported -- \"You can do it,\" he said -- and his finish carpentry was sloppy and haphazard. When the cabinet maker had mismeasured the (brand new) cabinets so that the hinges for the fridge didn't fit, he proposed cutting two holes into the cabinets and patching with a piece of trim! (There was no other trim on the cabinets, so this would have looked VERY sloppy.) He also left a big mess -- \"I guess you'll be cleaning up for a while\" were his last words to me, besides trying to persuade me that I should ask him back to install the tile backsplash. (Ha!) I am a DIY person, but I was left doing much more DIY than I'd planned. Also -- watch out for the add-ons. While I did feel that I got a fair amount of work from him for a fair price, the pricing tends to be unpredictable. I'd always asked for one wall to be cut \"counter height\"; when the cabinets came in an inch shorter, he charged me another $125 to take the wall down to the height it was supposed to be in the first place. After installing the floor, he dinged me for another $200 because it was \"harder than he'd planned.\" As I said, I did pay him -- while we were waiting for the tile installer, he helped me with a lot of things that weren't in the bid -- so I did feel that I was charged a fair amount for work actually performed. But the \"add-ons\" did rankle me. (That's what you were supposed to do in the first place!) I would have felt better if he'd admitted that he mis-bid or did it wrong, or if he told me was charging me for the other services he performed. So if you want to know exactly how much you're paying and what you're paying for in advance, he's not your guy."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/edinburg/ortega-painting-and-remodeling-inc-reviews-2329249.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Austin Countermeasure","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"TX","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Merrell F."},"reviewBody":"Johnnie met with us, explained the project in detail, gave a competitive estimate, directed us to a granite yard to pick what we wanted and was reliable and responsive.

He also had good ideas for design and good sources for sinks and faucets. After initial installation, he recommended that we replace one of the sections with a different piece of granite for coloring consistency and he covered the cost. We ended up using the extra granite to do the bathroom countertops. The one area he could improve on is being proactive in detail finishing, but when we pointed out details that needed touch-up, such as wall marks in the bathroom caused during installation, he addressed it."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/austin/austin-countermeasure-reviews-7906543.htm"},"position":10}]}

"I can't say enough about how beautiful my kitchen looks. Ebby made a suggestion which gave me more countertop space. It gave my kitchen a more updated look than I had ever dreamed. I sent pictures to family and friends right away. He tore out the old countertop down to the base MDF that the builder had used. He custom cut 3/4" plywood onsite. I could see the sturdiness of the counters before he had applied the laminate. The seams were not visible unless you were closely examining the counter. The edges of the counters were just as beautiful as was the backsplash. His work was impeccable. Regarding customer service, he kept me notified on when the materials would be in as I had a personal schedule he had to work around. His professionalism was outstanding. In the end, he was hooking up the pipes to my new sink. I didn't get new pipes purchased, so one of the old ones cracked as it was being tightened. At 7:00 at night he was insistent that he go from my house in the country to the nearest town to find that part so I was not left with a problem. Luckily, my neighbor down the road is a plumber and I got him to come over with the part. I don't think Ebby was going to leave me with a problem that night. Service people don't do that these days. He wasn't leaving till his job was done well. In the end, he made sure that he and his helper left the area clean of any mess. You won't regret hiring him for your job. The quality of work blew my mind. I just never expected the extra mile he goes to make the project everything you expect and more."

FAQs for marble and granite service projects in Hearne, TX
Installing a marble backsplash costs about $2,200 on average, ranging from $600 to $6,000, depending on the variety of marble and the labor costs to prep and install.
Common types of marble used for backsplashes include:
Makrana: $12 per square foot
Pink: $25 per square foot
Carrara: $40 per square foot
Statuatrio: $50 per square foot
Cultured: $65 per square foot
Travertine: $75 per square foot
Danby: $80 per square foot
Calacatta: $180 per square foot
Marble countertops cost$3,000 on average, ranging from about $2,000 to $5,000, depending on the type of marble, square footage, location, and whether you use tiles or slabs. Another major cost factor to consider is the grading of the marble, which determines its quality level.
Use this grading system when selecting marble for countertops:
Grade A: Nearly perfect with subtle veining
Grade B: Minor flaws such as pits, fissures, or blotches
Grade C: Minor and major flaws like chipping and cracks requiring repair
Grade D: Significant damage needing repair, with dark veining and pronounced colors
Granite and marble compare well against each other in terms of price, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Deciding which one is better depends on your personal style and preference. Both materials resist damage like chips and cracks well. You should seal both material types against staining and etching, but they’re still susceptible if oil, wine, coffee, tomato sauce, or juice are left on the countertop long enough. As material and installation costs range similarly, the deciding factor is your budget, design, and preferences.
Installing granite kitchen countertops costs about $3,250, ranging from $2,000 to $4,000, depending on the quantity and quality of the granite, use of granite tile or granite slabs, the type of granite, and its color and texture.
Varieties of granite include:
Alaska white: $35 per square foot
Ubatuba: $30–$60 per square foot
Silver cloud: $35–$40 per square foot
Absolute black: $45–$60 per square foot
Black galaxy: $50–$70 per square foot
Blue Louise: $70–$100 per square foot
Crema Bordeaux: $80 per square foot
Solarius: $60 per square foot
Overall, granite tends to cost more than marble. Prices for each material will fluctuate depending on the source of the stone, your location, shipping costs, and the thickness of the material. Labor to install marble or granite countertops typically ranges from $35 to $45 per hour.
Granite and marble tile and slab costs compare as follows:
Marble tile: $7–$10
Granite tile: $5–$15
Marble slab: $25–$60
Granite slab: $50–$100
