granite counter-top seams ... are we being too picky?
Comments (44)These are my pics of my countertops placed Friday June 22, 2018. I cried looking at these seams. It looks so cheap. Fabricator explains that's the way it comes. I explained that I shouldn't be able to see the seams so clearly. It looks so unprofessional. They ended up taking them back to their warehouse. In hopes they say if it is quality control will try and fix it just to make it look better. Otherwise I will have to pay an additional fee for them to come out again to install. I just don't know what to do and if still looks the same. This is the first time I've replaced my counters in 24 years. I don't and can't live with it. looking at this for another 24 years. It looks so cheap and it really was not it's a lot of money to me. I hope fingers crossed that they will fix this problem. They never told me that there would be such seams. I thought the edges were done by a machine and it would be all one piece. I have read up on this and now understand there are seams. But now I do know that they should not look like this. If they are good fabricator you shouldn't be able to see them so clearly. I will find out next week what happens....See MoreHelp! Not sure if I want dark granite counter tops

Comments (4)"Thank you, that’s a great suggestion. He said the cabinets are too old to do that... is that a thing?" No, that is not a "thing". He's a production guy and used to putting underlayment on all his jobs, not paying attention as to whether or not its needed.

Comments (8)@joseph_corlett interesting about the sink install. I don't think there's a strap, which shows (again) my lack of experience with this. We have a tricky situation as the counter installer & the cabinet maker have been engaged separately from our GC - both are recommendations from our designer. I thing that the cabinet maker's on-site carpenter fitted the the ply for the counter and put the sink in place. The cabinet crew were gone when the counter guy was here. If I were doing this again (which I'm not going to do) I'd make sure I had much better understanding of who was responsible for what....See Moredippitydoppitydoo
