Ronnie and Dave at Granite Vision were very friendly and helpful from the first time we walked in their store. They have a wide range of colors to choose from and they let us spend a lot of time just walking around their warehouse looking, making just a few suggestions based on our price range and our kitchen setup (cabinets, wall color, etc).
The price above included the granite, as well as removal of our old countertops, new sink & faucet, and a plumber (which they can subcontract out or we could have used our own) to install the new sink and hook everything up. In total, a comparable price to other estimates that we received.
I had to move the install day on them once - they were very flexible which was nice. On the day of the install they showed up well within the window they gave me and did a great job. Because of the shape of our counters they had to install the counters in two pieces with one seam, which you can't even tell unless you look closely. The kitchen looks 100% better!
Service and product were first rate and I would definitely recommend them!
"We prepurchased a special for an inspection and water heater flush. It took a couple of tries to get that scheduled. But we needed a pressure valve installed so we hired him to come back and do that, which went great"
"I think I talked directly to the owner. Porcelite scheduled service within a week. Technician arrived a few minutes early, got the job done, presented the bill and got out of my hair. I didn't even need to move my sink cabinet which is within a couple of inches of the tub."
"I got the Big Deal for one hour of labor. Two guys were sent to change the water filter under my kitchen sink that had become stuck. It took the brute force of two guys, so I'm glad they sent two. They reassembled the water filter in a way that I could provide self-service in the future. Quick, easy, done. "
"We originally went w FHFurr . We didn’t realize until after the contract was written and after waiting 2 weeks b4 the work could b preformed, that the contract wasn’t written by a certified plumber. We cxld that contract and was pleasantly surprised when iplumb not only sent a plumber who knew what he was doing but was also one of the owners. It’s nice to deal w a company that still understands what customer service means. They installed a sump pump working throughout the day into the night until the job was completed. They went out of their way to help fix the problem giving us several choices and prices to choose what was best for our situation and finances. They will always b the plumbers we call if we ever need a plumber."
"I have used Roy for three items, the latest being a hot water heater replacement (mine had a super vent, hence the higher cost). I first used Roy for a subpump emergency a few years ago. He came out the same day, actually at night with little notice. He replaced the subpump quickly and professionally. Based on the great service and price fro the subpump we have used Roy for other household repair, such as clogged toliets, clogged kitchen sink etc...I highly recommend Roy and AABCO."
"After doing our homework, my wife and I selected Mega Kitchen and Bath for complete remodels of our master bath and hall full bath. We could not have made a better decision as the entire process was flawless. Katherine, a Certified Interior Decorator, was so patient and helpful with our selections. Felipe, the project manager, came by almost every day. Not that he needed to, because the installers (Johnny and Grover) were courteous and extremely hard working. The project was completed on schedule and the quality of the work was such that we did not have any punch lists items once the baths were completed. I would recommend Mega Kitchen and Bath in a heartbeat. You can’t go wrong."
Our new kitchen included new flooring, which extended into joining laundry room (we chose porcelain tile), level 1 granite counter top, tile backsplash, paint, new cabinets, and electrical work (we replaced a big light with 4 recessed lights, and moved the location of our appliances.)
New half bathroom included new vanity, granite counter top, flooring (which extended into the entry way), paint, and they installed a new toilet, mirror and light fixture which we purchased separately.
Ocean's estimate was the best we received. (One contractor gave an estimate for just refacing cabinets which was almost as much as Ocean's for brand new ones.) They also had great reviews on Angie's List so we decided to go with them. We worked with Sean. He was very responsive and easy to communicate with.
Our installers were a team of 3 that worked very efficiently and cleaned up after each work day.
There were a few hiccups along the way, but I think that can be expected when doing such a major job. Both Sean, and the installers made sure that we were happy in the end.
We would definitely use them again. The price was great, as was the quality of work and professionalism.
"We paid extra to have the older layers of glaze removed before the new layer was added, and to have a new drain installed after the rust was repaired. The tub looks great! They were responsive in coming back to ensure the tub was sanded smooth. "
"Mary scheduled the appointment and called to confirm. Dave did the installation. He arrived on time, was polite, and accommodated our request on where to locate the battery for the system. He showed me how to use the system and left the room clean as if no work had been done. The main pump probably is nearing the end of its life and we will use this company again to replace it. "
There are few things more annoying than trying to fall asleep only to be woken up by the sound of a dripping faucet. If the faucet drips when the water is off, it probably has a loose or damaged seat washer. The screw gets loose from repeated use, making the faucet drip. With outdoor faucets, this is more common in the summer when people are using it more often to water the garden or cool off. Disassembling the faucet and tightening or replacing the seat washer and screw can get the dripping to stop.
Basic replacements can be done DIY, but professional services ensure proper sealing, leak prevention, and plumbing adjustments.
Yes, a toilet, sink, and shower can share the same vent. This is a common plumbing practice that can simplify installation and save space. When sharing a vent, it's important that the toilet is located downstream from all other fixtures. You will also need to ensure the vent pipe is large enough to handle the demands of all connected fixtures without compromising its effectiveness. Because requirements can vary, you should always check your local building and plumbing codes. Consulting a qualified plumber is recommended to ensure the vent is properly sized, installed, and adheres to all local regulations.
Depending on the issue, you have a good shot at fixing a leaking sink yourself. If you have some plumbing experience or are comfortable with DIY jobs, you can clean the P trap, tighten nuts, replace washers, and replace shut-off valve stems on your own. For more complicated jobs, such as repairing a garbage disposal, calling a pro may be the way to go.
Emergency plumbers charge a significantly higher rate than for standard service, typically 1.5 to 3 times the normal hourly cost. You can expect to pay between $100 and $500 per hour, with an average of around $200 per hour. In addition to the higher hourly rate, many plumbers charge a flat emergency service or trip fee, which can be between $150 and $300. The final cost depends on the timing of the call; prices are highest for major holidays, followed by weekends and after-hours service on weekdays. For a complex job on a major holiday, a master plumber's rate could reach as high as $600 per hour.
