Granite Transformations
Comments (29)I had bad experience with "Granite Transformations" doing our kitchen. they quoted 3,900 but my husband got it down to 3,390. we had existing tile...but supposedly their whole concept is NO DEMO. If they didnt take off the bullnose tiles the stove wouldn't fit. Fine, but they took it off everywhere. the cement was in my silverware all the drawers in my dishes and pots and pans. 2nd visit measure. 3rd visit 4wks later-install. they had measured wrong! they fogot to allow for the removal of all the bullnose. so it was even bigger and blockier and longer in places than it should have been. plus this one ledge was undercut so the wall stuck out farther, so they said they'll come back to fix that. so many ph.calls later we get the original salesman to look at it. then another appt to re-measure, that gets lost. comes back again and discusses with me in great detail of how this is going to go. 4 wks go by with 3 un-returned phone calls, they apologized saying they were waiting for the slab to come in. Now this is where I get mad. My husband takes off work to be here for the "install", and get this, the guy RE-discusses OPTIONS (with my husband)of how to fix this!! So what happened to all the decisions that I had already made? I don't know, Out the door,GONE, complete waste of MY time! they spent 4 hrs. here re-measuring and table sawing and sanding, when it was suppossed to already been measured and cut overTHERE! and just installed here. We started this in June and now its mid-October. For 2,000.bucks more we could've had this done right and look better than this huge block look. You get what you pay for and some times less than that...a horrible experience to live with....See MoreGranite Transformations, anyone?
Comments (3)I don't have it but at my local mall, just outside the Restoration Hardware, Granite Transformations has a kiosk. Based on what I've seen, it is nothing like a quartz countertop: those are solid. This is a v. thin covering which goes over your existing countertops. (Again, this is all based on the kiosk mock-ups where they have their product cut away so you can see the formica or tile countertop underneath.) Based on this, for me to ever consider it it would have to be waaaay more than 2/3 less than a quartz countertop. (as in, it would have to be much less expensive) But I've no idea its durability -- it could be great. But given how thin it is and based on what you wrote of its price, I'd rather get the real deal, a solid surface. It'll be interesting to hear what you think of your friend's countertop. Let us know!...See Morehave anyone used thunder white granite
Comments (20)Oh, the granite looks lovely in your kitchen! From the installed photos, it looks like your stone has more warmer tones than mine. The visual movement in the slabs look very nice. Did they seal the stone, and if so, before of after installing? I'll be interested to hear how your maintenance is once you've had a some time to enjoy your new kitchen.
