$Caesarstone Piatra Grey$ reality check...
Comments (16)I am having Piatra Grey installed in my kitchen. I live in the NE and the quote came to $76 per sq ft. I was a little disappointed with the quote because the price was advertised (costco/supplymycounter) as $70 per sq ft. I called Costco who advised me to deal directly with the contractor/supplymycounter. I finally received an email from the supplymycounter to the effect that caesarstone restructured their color groups in March of this year. Most website have not updated theirs. So the actual price is $76. To remove the old counter top will cost $11 per sq ft extra. Once it is intalled I will need to have a plumber to put in the plumbering at an addtional cost. Bottom line, I have 60sq ft of counter top and vanity between my kitchen and bathroom. Price of materials $ 2771 Price of labor $2267 Removal of old counter top $660 Plumbering $300 2 undermount sink cut out came to $ 388 which in included in the labor. I am going with the basic bevel edge which is included in the price. If I choose a different edge (bullnose or ogee) I will have to pay an extra of $700-900. All said and done, I will be shelling roughly $6000 for 60 sq ft of counter and vanity top...See MoreMarble - Difference between distributors?
Comments (3)Hi Sunny, I know for sure with slabs there are different "grades" within each type of marble. If I remember correctly, slabs are graded by letter, A, B, C, etc. with "A" being superior. The problem is, ad I imagine it would be even more the case with tile, it can be hard to get an honest answer about what grade a slab is. A saleswoman at a local stone yard known among fabricators for lower quality (like C grade) slabs told me she had no idea what grade the slabs were when I asked. The places that carried high-grade slabs were obviously more willing to discuss it and to disclose what grade each slab is. A good fabricator can tell whether marble is of high quality based on pitting, etc., so if asking what grade the tile is doesn't work, maybe you can bring a few samples to a fabricator....See MoreAlmost Done - Henrybuilt, Caesarstone, Bluestar, Freedom
Comments (35)organic sprite - The faucet is from Danze, the collection is called Parma, the finish is brushed nickel. flyleft - Our house is in Dutchess County, NY. We're lucky enough to be on 17 acres, so all exposures will remain private. My wife is an architect (and I wish I were) - we designed the house together. Thanks so much for the compliment. We found our contractor by searching the web for modern houses in the Hudson Valley. We found one in Millbrook that won several awards, then we contacted the architect and asked who the builder was. We've been very fortunate to work with this contractor, and we'd recommend him in a heartbeat. As you mentioned, most other builders we met weren't too happy about things like reveals - they preferred to just use trim everywhere. Ours, on the other hand, was excited about all the modern details. He has the same aesthetic vision that we do, and you can't put a price on that. Loewen has three levels of windows, with R-values between 4.0 and 7.9. Obviously, there's a significant jump in price between each level.

Comments (1)Well, I have a granite counter top that is about the same age and having the same problem you are describing. The best solution I've come up with to date is to carefully use a razor blade to take the mineral deposits off (lay the blade at a flat-ish angle and run it across the surface gently). That alone does a pretty good job. I've also taken to occasionally mixing food grade diatomaceous earth into a paste with baby shampoo and polish it a little with that, since neither of those are particularly acid or alkali....See Morejmarino19
