Armadillo Granite & Marble

The entire project was fantastic!!!!

Mario is phenomenal to work with. This was our first time dealing with counter tops of any sort. Mario was very responsive and walked us step by step through the entire process to an amazing finished product. He is very personable, professional, and helpful. We could not be more happy with our counter tops and we will be hiring him again when we start our bathroom remodeling. I would recommend him to anyone!

I couldn't be happier with this company. We did a total remodel of our kitchen and kept getting postponement of the delivery of the island and bar countertops. They would give up one time frame and then move it to a later time. We called Armadillo and they came out the next day. In a little over a week, Mario installed the new island and bar. They look awesome! We were so pleased we had his company install the back splash. We will definitely use this company when doing the remodel of the 3 bathrooms.

Great! Quick!

The project was done on time and on budget. Mario was a great help in providing guidance and working with our schedule. The workmanship was excellent, from removing the old counter tops to measuring, cutting and installing the new ones. I would not hesitate to recommend Armadillo Granite and Marble.

I had to take a moment to comment on Mario's professionalism.  I called to inquire if he did marble polishing.  He does not, but said he could recommend someone.  I've been looking for a service provider for several months.  Mario stopped his car, checked his phone, and then gave me the name and phone number of the polisher.  Talk about impressive.  I'll definitely call Mario in the future for any of my granite and marble needs.

Excellent. Cannot say enough good about this company.

We have used Armadillo twice. Once for our kitchen remodel and most recently for our business. Mario has been a pleasure to work with. He keeps us informed of the status and goes out if his way to ensure our satisfaction. As with most remodels, things are bound to go wrong but Mario worked around those obstacles to make sure that the project was completed timely and to our satisfaction. I would definitely use Armadillo in the future.

I talked to Mario on a Tuesday morning, he came to the house did the template for the granite and we had our granite installed on Friday .they installed our backsplash on Saturday and grouted on Sunday. They showed up exactly when they said and cleaned up afterward. Will use Armadillo Granite and Marble again when we redo our bathroom vaniity.

While shopping granite for our kitchen countertop remodel,  Armadillo Granite & Marble was recommended to us by a Daltile employee, where we selected our granite.  He suggested that we call Mario for an estimate.  On September 13th I left a voice message for Mario; he called me back on September 17th, made an appointment for the next morning at 9:00 am.  Mario did not keep the appointment; never called; we received no further contact from Mario.   That was a clear message to us to look elsewhere.  I called Mariio prior to submitting this review as I felt that he should know why I will not consider his company for any work in my home and he responded that he had had gall bladder surgery (micro) done a few weeks prior and he was not at 100%.  With this kind of business ethic, I am fortunate that he did not keep our appointment; blessing in disguise.

Perfect. Professional work from start to finish. All our questions were answered and the final cost was the same as the estimate. He was on time for all appointments. His bid was very competitive and included a plumber for the sink and faucet install in the bid so we didn't have to hire a plumber. Bottom line: Adrian and his team did a great job. We can't say enough great things about the job and results. Highly recommended.

I think they did a fabulous job.  When I came home from work, I was in awe.  They were thorough, friendly, very efficient, and were careful not to damage any of my appliances.  They were very clean. They made sure the house was in as good of shape or better when they left.  I would use them again in a heart beat.  We are actually considering remodeling our bathrooms.

They were here on time.  They reaired chips in granite counter tops.  Cleaned and polished all granite counter tops.

We have recommended Armadillo to everyone we know and our general contractor was impressed and also recommends the firm.
My wife selected the granite before we retained Armadillo.  She was a science teacher for 35 years and the piece she selected had numerous mineral outcroppings.  It is a truly unique piece.
Our interview process confirmed our preference for Armadillo.  He suggested Barbara come to the shop and lay out the counter with him.  He would not make a cut without Barbara's approval.  She did go to the shop and choose the flow of the lines and minerals in the granite.  They did not miss a trick.  The back splashes matched the counter top;  the entire project looked as though it had been painted on a canvas.  
Once the meeting with Barbara was completed, the next meeting was with the general contractor.  They both measured and re-measured the counter top area.  They discussed matching the back splash behind the cook top with the hood vent.  Also, they reviewed the support that the counter would rest on.  Armadillo works well with general contractors.
The owner of Armadillo is an artisan with a very practical side.  One of the problems with a granite top is the installation of an under counter dish washer.  It often requires screwing into the granite top.  He showed us a product he brought from California.  It is a strip that glues to the granite and the screws go into the strip not the granite.  He also has a unique method of reinforcing large cut out areas ( cook top, sink ).
The installation was as meticulous and perfect as the pre planning.  

Product was delivered on time and the staff was very efficient at the installation.

They were fabulous.  The owner of the company came out and I did not want just the uniformity of designs.  Like some people want it all the same but I didn't want that so I wanted to first see the designs.  I had a corner window that I previously had a ledge that went up into the two windows in the kitchen by the sink.  There was a triangular block at the back that was made for plants.  The tile person came out to make sure that all of the designs flowed up into the backsplash and into the window sill which he also made out of granite.  He was very meticulous in the designs and how he cut the marble.  We discussed beforehand how that would happen so I was extremely pleased.  We bought the slab and then he had it delivered to his place of business and cut it.  The thing that made this thing unique for me as a husband was he took Barbara over and cut the piece.  Barbara is a science teacher so found a piece that had all sorts of minerals in it of granite.  He cut the pieces so that it all falls and made it match.  He did exactly what she wanted and also did something that even the contractor had not seen here in the dishwasher.  He had a metal strip that he adhered to the granite because lots of people would drill holes.  He had a strip and the screws went into the strip, they never touched the granite.  We worked with him because we had a stainless steel splash made so he came over to measure everything twice to make sure before it was ordered.  Everything he did was just great and we completely changed that kitchen.  He just did it exactly the way she wanted and as part of the amount we paid he mounted with a proxy where the sink was because she put in a big double color sink.  He reinforced that granite, he did it with a proxy and it literally looked like rebar.  We can't see where the cut was made; those are the little things that we wouldn't have known to ask about.  When my wife was trying to describe where the two windows were, he cut pieces of granite that matched what we had on the countertop and built a window sill for us.  He also took the splashes by four to six inches around where the windows are in that area and he made the splash go all the way from the counter to the window sill.  It all flowed and it wasn't like two pieces of granite.  He allowed Barbara to go over and they marked the granite with the white chalk.  They talked about what they wanted, was easy to deal with and they marked exactly what we wanted.  The pieces were cut and it wasn't like they were the boss.  They asked us being the customers what we wanted and he did everything that we wanted to be done.  We went around to different places where they had already cut half inch granite on with a plywood backing and he beat their price with three quarter inch granite.  Our contractor saw his work after they were finished and he got a hand full of cards.  Not only was the work good but we had a situation with the contactor where we had to delay the granite install because the contractor's wife had breast cancer.  The granite guy handled that the same way as he handled everything else.  If I had any other work to be done I wouldn't look anywhere else but call Armadillo Granite & Marble.
