We went with Bel Pre Glasswork out of Rockville, MD. While we have been very pleased with their work I'm not sure that they have the cheapest prices. I would definitely shop around. I know there are some stores around Chantilly, VA that offer glass shower doors. If you do a google search several stores should come up.

I heard today from my kitchen store that cabinet discounters may be having difficulties. I didn't ask further, because I was not ordering anything through. I had priced cabinets and countertops at premier industries in Sterling, Va and found them to be very reasonable. I think they carry Ceasarstone.

I hope this thread's not too old to add to. I did some investigating today. I've only seen soapstone a few times but have read every thread on here. I visited Designer Surfaces and Grantops in Frederick today. Very interesting! Designer Surfaces had Green Mountain Original on display and gave me a quick quote based on a very rough drawing. I was told they had very little stock but were expecting more very soon. At Grantops, I was shown a few slabs outside that were very green, and flakey /crumbly. It seemed quartz-like to me, with white crystals mixed in? (I am not a geologist!) I was assured that is was soapstone, but it looked extremely different than the display and sample I saw at Designer Surfaces. It was marked (I think) "Savon Pierre" on the side. A google search shows that this may be Canadian, and good for carving? Very strange! I made a quick stop at Home Depot tonight as my son wanted some duct tape. I walked thru the kitchen area and noticed that they are selling this exact same soapstone (same name too). I asked the store associate ( a very, very young man) about it and he told me it was real soapstone, but you couldn't put it in a kitchen because it was extremely porous. He said it was great for bathroom vanities. Bizarre, don't you think? I also called Carapace last week and they said they only had "the green kind that nobody wants". Maybe he too was referring to this "Savon Pierre"?

I've heard great things about Watkins Cabinet Company in Barnesville MD. They have a fairly long lead time though because they are busy and do custom work. I wanted to use them for my kitchen but the timing didn't work out. Do a search on GW for comments on the company.
