We've read and heard some not so great things about them on this forum, and from others, so opted not to use them. Some here had no problems with them but we didn't want to take a chance.

We also heard problems with All Granite and also decided not to go with them. We found our granite at IGM in North Bergen. You can also try Benchmark, OHM and PMI.

Hi, I've used them twice, the one in Ridgefield Park and the one in Stoudsburg, PA. I had excellent experiences with both locations! They had an extensive selection in NJ. I actually picked the stone for PA at the NJ site and they shipped it to Stroudsburg for installation at no charge. They were fast, efficient and the workmanship was perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them! I only wish they had a location here in FL. It's about twice the cost to get granite here, because the suppliers don't do the fabrication and you have to get a third party to do the fabrication. If anyone knows a way around that in SE FL, please let me know!

I took a ride to American Granite today. What a difference in the showroom compared to Benchmark. Carlos and Rebecca were both helping me, and very nice. I saw one that I liked with the colors of my cabinets and floor. I'm doing a small condo kitchen that's across the street from the beach, that I'm moving to as my primary residence. The granite I saw was Juparana Columbo, it reminded me of the sand when it get the dark grey streaks in it. I like the slab, they only had one (which is all I need) that was in the light muted colors. All the others with the same name were from a different lot and were much darker and a redish peach. I'm just not sure I like the pattern of the slab. I took pictures, and thought I had a picture of the whole slab, but I only got parts of it. I wonder if Carlos would be able to take a picture of the whole slab and email it to me. Asked about a sink, and was told it would be about $200.00 additional. Benchmark was including a 16 gauge SS D-sink. Has anyone heard of AW Eurostile in Ocean or a place in Shrewsbury (not sure of the name)? I'm trying to avoid going to OHM, I think it might be too overwhelming, and I'll never be able to make a decision. I'd rather stay with smaller places. I'll try to attach pictures, let me know what you think. Thanks for your help. Here is a link that might be useful: granite juparana columbo

WOW, your design is AWESOME!!! I can't believe I hadn't seen this thread a few weeks ago. I was searching for something else and stumbled in here to this thread. apdnj, I'm curious about something. Why don't you build the poolhouse and outdoor fireplace with the pool? I can't speak for other builders but I always cut my prices on these upgrades when I'm building the pool at the same time as opposed to coming back and doing them at a later date when I charge my standard asking price. Here's a link to a thread for another member who was asking about outdoor living areas like yours. I build some brutally affordable cabana's that although not nearly as beautiful as Chris's rendering usually will get a buyer to purchase. Thanks for supporting the industry with your pool purchase!!! See ya, Kelly Here is a link that might be useful: outdoor living ideas

Granite in Northern NJ?

WOW - thank you fellow Jerseyites!!!! All Marble and Granite came very highly recommended to my husband. We went there yesterday and because it was the day before Easter and they were closing early, we sort of got the "bum's rush." They were very agreeable to giving us a bunch of samples however. Problem is, the samples have only numbers, and I'm pretty sure a couple of the ones they gave me were not what I asked for. We're definitely going to go back to look again - at a time where we can actually go into the yard and look at slabs. I feel like out of the samples I took home, none of them are exactly "perfect" - but I also know I can't really go by a sample alone. I need to see slabs. Still just trying to get the best idea of what's out there. I truly appreciate the suggestions of other places around me to check. Everyplace mentioned in the posts above is doable from where we are. Thanks!! SQ

i went there a few months ago and the "salesman" that i had been assigned showed me a slab of onyx and told me it was granite. when i tried to correct him he told me i was wrong. maybe i expect too much? at the very least i expect a salesman will know what he's selling. i'm a hard a$$, i know.

They've installed granite 3 times for me and I couldn't be happier. Great selection, good prices, excellent installations, and 3-day turnaround from template to install.

I am fine with being assertive about what I want so it worked out great.

I used them for my granite and don't have any complaints - it was a very simple job and I knew what I wanted before I met with them. They're not exactly local for me but they do quite a bit of work in my area. If nothing else their Ridgefield Park yard is a good place to get samples...lots of samples.

Depending on how close you are, try Stone N Counters. I think they are in Hawthorne. They are in the yellow pages. We just used their South Jersey location and they did a great job. The fit against the back wall is almost perfect. Seam looks great also. We had a lot of movement in the stone and they almost matched the movement at the seam perfectly. It was only off right at the faucet so you can't even see it. Tony M.

Stopped in to see them at South Plainfield location. The salesman was very nice, and gave me samples of everything I liked. I got a piece of something they call Vermont White, which I love - just white & gray, with lots of movement. I also took a sample of something called Classic White (I know the names can change from place to place) which has lots of shimmer, but I tested it with some Diet Coke - my drink of choice - and it was stained within a couple of hours. Is it possible it's not granite, but something else?

Do no use this company.
They sold us doctored absolute black granite which we now have to tear out and replace and they ruined my island peice by "repairing" it. this has to be taken out and replaced also. I now have to drive 2 hours out of my way to pick granite again.
The othe parties involved with the doctored granite are pursuing this with the appropriate agencies for fraud.
choose a reputable granite supplier. We learned the hard way.

Does IGM refer you to a reliable installer?
