Silestone saga- buyer beware
Comments (7)I had a similar experience when I got mine in my previous house, back in 2001. They measured wrong, and then tried to install a piece with a giant gap at the wall. TheHusband insisted on a new piece. But they did install a different part, with a big ole caulked gap at that wall. We had a manager come out a few days later, and he removed that piece too. Then, the replacement piece arrived with the corrected measurement. Still too short! But we kept it, b/c tile just barely covered the gap. Over the next 4 years, we had numerous chips/pits, and one big thermal crack. They did a shoddy job patching the chips. When I tried to contact the manager, he basically blew me off, and hid from all my calls! I almost, almost used them again, only because they had a special color that I really loved. I was going to call them, review all my problems with them, and ask them for one good reason why I should trust them with my counters again. Luckily, I was able to do soapstone instead! So you have my sympathy! I hope you get this worked out!! :-( francy...See MoreCaesarstone vs Silestone vs Cambria vs Zodiaq quartz countertop?
Comments (43)We have polished Organic White countertops. We also get subtle metal marks that won't come out. These counters are just a few months old. No one else would notice it, but I certainly do. I would recommend getting a sample of the quartz you are considering and testing it yourself. Maybe we're just unlucky? Although, the number of websites that say "quartz doesn't stain" seem to be equalled by the number of websites that say "here's how to get stains out of your quartz". We haven't tried Magic Eraser and it is somewhat discouraged since it is abrasive, but we may try that next....See MoreWhile Awaiting Plans-Contemplating Kitchen Choices and Colors
Comments (24)Cpartist, I picked up that you were living in Florida. I’m in central Florida. My DH can’t wait for the pool either! The pool/spa bids were waaaaay more than I thought they would be. (We didn’t want a screen initially … but that’s what ya get with two huge trees around. Plus we won’t have to deal with all the bugs and animals!) Several of the pool salesman were just awful to work with. (I got recs from people as well as cold called.) I’m glad we finally found a wonderful company that didn’t jerk me around. Fingers crossed it goes somewhat smoothly!...See MoreNew Cambria countertop defect?
Comments (40)sfp: Cambria has very specific written criteria as to what is and isn't acceptable contamination, however, they bend their own rules in their customer's favor more often than not. They'll probably send a technician to fix this for free, but I would advise you to live with it for a bit please. I had a potential replacement sink customer tell me "Absolutely not!" when I offered to drill and fill her bright red spot out of her white estone: You may learn to like it. I could have made the above disappear, however, you're always going to be able to find your repair if you look for it. Your guests and the home inspector for the buyer of your house someday won't though....See MoreDCF-Z6A
