countertops, cabinet refacing
+ 0 moreKitchen remodels can be difficult even under the best of circumstances, so timely communication is key to the inevitable delays that are sure to take place. From experience, this is not our first, so some things were assumed. This is not a reflection of the people responsible for the completion of this project and I found Dan (sales), Daniel, Peter and Victor to be extremely competent in delivering on the contract. They also made suggestions that really enhanced the project as well. Everything was chosen in May ensuring a long lead on all that was necessary to complete as was promised; that is 2 days for cabinet refacing and 2 days the following week for countertops. We entered week 3, yes, week 3 without completion waiting on items that were known to them weeks/months ago. Here’s what you should know: Any time frames should be multiplied by 2. The operations manager will not call you back or text you for that matter if though I requested several times. The company owner (as I later found out) stopped by to help, but never acknowledged me nor introduced himself. If you have you dark wood cabinets refaced, they don’t paint match over the side facing. Make sure that is clear from the outset. Communication is key and that could be better. It's the reason they are not rated higher.

+ 0 moreJust be aware that this company charges a minimum of $1,500 for any service. Since I only wanted granite installed on a very small counter in the kitchen I thought that was way overpriced so I cancelled the estimate appointment - but not before their rep had requested and obtained all my personally identifiable information.
Description of Work: I only requested a quote. I did not use this provider.

Description of Work: Was impressed by Rick's professionalism and knowledge. also appreciated that while he went thru the rooms to measure and write up estimate, he set up an iPad with Before and After photos and then a YouTube video of one of the Property Brother twins on HGTV going thru the manufacturing plant showing how the product is made etc.

countertops
+ -1 moreIt was excellent and I would highly recommend them. I didn’t have to have somebody come in and take out my old tile because they just pre formed the counters and set it up right on top of the old ones. It was granite composite and not a slab. The workers were wonderful and quick. They didn’t take long at all. They were very competitive on the estimates.

marble & granite
+ -1 moreThis was the most incredible experience of my life as far as home remodeling goes. This company really knows their business well and it's obvious they've done this same work hundreds of times over. They are fast, efficient, accurate and extremely nice on top of all that. After searching and soliciting quotes from many other top home remodeling companies (including Home Depot, Lowes and several large and small contractors), I was extremely discouraged that my old house would have to remain "old" looking forever. And, because I had recently upgraded one bathroom recently and had such a bad experience with the contractors and workers, I was reluctant to make this commitment. THEN, I found out that they had a showroom very close to me. I went on that same day to see what they had to offer -- I was SOLD! In fact, I was kicking myself because if I had known about them, I would have had them upgrade my bathroom as well. That would have saved me not only money but 2 months of frustration, having to manage and constantly call the workers back to "fix" things that they forgot or didn't do well. Granite Transformations can give your old kitchen, bath, living room, shower and so much more (be creative) a complete facelift in 2-4 days -- they'll do it on time, with little mess (and they clean-up after themselves when they do make a mess), perfectly. I wish I could post before and after photos for you. I can't stop smiling! Do yourself a favor and call this company FIRST -- before you talk with anyone else. Use them as the baseline for comparison.
Description of Work: Install kitchen countertops and backsplash over existing "pink" 40 yr old tile, replace sink with granite sink, add specially cut design to backsplash behind stovetop. (the story behind this was that I purchased a new "energy efficient" refrigerator. I had measured and re-measured carefully but when the refrigerator was delivered, it was 1/4" too wide. I had to take a hammer and remove part of the tile at the end of the kitchen counter to make the new refrigerator fit. That meant that I had a gapping hole in the end of the counter and although mostly covered by an appliance, it looked tacky. Discouraged, I set out to find out what it would cost in money and time to replace the countertops with granite. The granite itself wasn't so pricey but the labor and destruction to the rest of the kitchen was an unbearable thought. That's when I found Granite Transformations!).

countertops
+ -1 moreIncluded in description of services performed in above section.
Description of Work: They were great right from the start. Their proposal spelled out step by step everything to be done and who responsible for doing it: Granite Transformations, Airborne Plumbing or me. Other two bidders broad based language with lump sum price. They were slightly under Granite Transformation but envisioned possible change orders additions which would push final cost to heaven knows where. In my career before retiring had a lot of experience dealing with contractors Everyone was punctual, professional and wasted no time. Airborne showed up on time Monday to remove old sink. Granite Transformations showed up almost on Airborne's heels to do template and by sometime before noon I was free to go about my business. Granite Transformations was back on time Tuesday morning with all the pieces to install. Note: there were NO SEAMS anywhere. Workers needed to take largest piece out to truck multiple times to grind down to get perfect snug fit. Other two bidders indicated there would be seam at mid-point of sink They too lazy to trim ends in field when could get by trimming narrow parts at sink seams. Joe the primary countertop installer was a perfectionist to the nth degree. I can't see him being any more diligent if it were for himself. Philosophy seemed to be better more trips to truck taking off a little each time than take a chance on removing too much. Did a beautiful job. His assistant Richard was also a perfect performer. Always ready with item or tool joe needed next. Always at the ready with vacuum to catch any dust or debris. At the end Richard was on hands and knees with vacuum to get any chips that might have flown to remote areas of kitchen or adjacent dining area. Wiped down wooden floors with something that left them literally squeaky clean. Airborne returned on time to install sink and hook up related plumbing parts. In and out in under 90 minutes.

countertops, cabinet refacing
+ 0 moreI previously submitted a report of Granite Transformations re the new kitchen countertops, for which I was completely satisfied. However, Granite Transformations also did our kitchen cabinets. GT provided all new wood doors, drawers and hardware and refaced the other existing cabinet surfaces to match. We have a rather large kitchen, with some 32 cabinets, mostly large, and this project was completed in 3.5 days after initial measurements were taken. No demolition was a HUGE PLUS! GT's personnel were professional and always on time, and the work is top quality. We are especially pleased with the European hinges, which are invisible when the cabinets are closed, and love the drawers that slide in easily, and if not pushed fully shut, just whisper slide into place. Same with the cabinets. They don't slam; just softly close. We are extremely pleased with our experience with Granite Transformations for both countertops (separate report) and for the cabinets and plan to use this company when we re-do a bathroom next year.
Description of Work: Kitchen cabinets: GT replaced doors, drawers and hardware and resurfaced the existing boxes. NO DEMOLITION! First contact: we visited GT's showroom in Escondido. Excellent selection, personnel who were easy to deal with. No high pressure. GT's 1st visit to our home: estimate and explanation of work, product; contract signed, 10% down payment. No high pressure. 2nd visit, several days later: measurements taken, approximately an hour to 1.5 hours. 3rd visit, approximately 3 weeks later: installation of cabinets. Five days alloted, but it took only 3.5 Since existing boxes remained, EVERYTHING needed to be removed from the cabinets prior to installation. Allot a couple of days to do that if you have a large kitchen like we do! Second payment (for materials) paid prior approx. 3 weeks prior to installation. Final payment made upon completion.

+ -1 moreVery pleased. Professional + efficient + quality. There when they said they would be, did what they promised and in less time than estimated. How much better than that can it be??!! The crews were highly professional, very pleasant, and cleaned up after themselves. We'll be contacting G/T again when we re-do our master bathroom next year. We have recommended this business many times already.
Description of Work: We got new kitchen countertops that were made, sold, installed by Granite Transformations. This is not 100% granite for the countertops, but 95% granite and 5% resin so they are even more durable. And instead of demolition, G/T fits them over your existing counters. Took 1.5 days. We also had G/T redo our kitchen cabinets and again very pleased. Will be reporting on that in the cabinets area.

+ -1 moreGranite Transformations fit the bill for us...we didn't want to go through the demo process, but really wanted new, solid surface countertops. We'd seen and spoken to them at the Del Mar Fair, and after seeing them again at a Home Show we made an appointment for them to come out and give us a bid. The price was quite comparable to others we'd had, and Rick spent his time walking us through the selection process. He was thorough and personable. We were able to get a installation date much sooner than we expected, and two weeks later our countertops were in! It took them one day to install and then they came back the next day to finish and polish. There were some quality control issues, but Ray was always quick to return our calls, and the issues were resolved to our satisfaction. We're very pleased with the whole experience. One caveat: Do your research and know exactly what type of material you want...this product was the perfect solution for us, but may not be for you. If you decide to go with Granite Transformations, we think you'll be very happy with their service!

The first two weeks was spent by their subcontractor removing the kitchen cabinets, installing new plumbing, redoing walls and textuering same and installing the new cabinets. One the start of week three Granite Transformations came out and made a template for the new countertop. One week and one day later they began the two day installation of the new countertop which included a new sink. Jim Fay (Of Fay Bros Inc the Granite Transformations representatives in the San Diego Area) visited my home, checked out the installation and resolved scheduling issues. Throughout the whole process I had daily contact with Joe Gurski Granite Transformations Regional Sales Manager and Design Specialist to resolve any issues.

I asked him for it, and he said he really "wasn't supposed to give it to me", but then gave me the original! This made my decision not to use a company who doesn't even give you the written estimate as a matter of course. I felt disrespected. The salesman also didn't really listen to me as he kept trying to dissuade me from granite, when I had already told him I'm not a granite fan.

+ -1 moreThe job went great and was done in two days. After all was installed we noticed a 1/16'' minor imperfection in one 11' piece; the workman immediately saw it and said it was a factory defect, no problem! He ordered a replacement and re-installed it the next day at no cost!! This is a lot of work, with over 10' granite pieces. From the initial estimator (who was on-time, courteous, and professional), to the show room staff when we went to select materials, to the installer, to the post-installation inspection, these have been outstanding people to work with. I am entirely satisfied with their product and service; the kitchen looks like a million bucks and only those 'in the know' realize how easy this upgrade was!
Description of Work: For about half the cost and a tenth the hassle of replacing tile kitchen counter tops with granite, Granite Transformations overlays a composite granite material that is fabricated and applied on the job. It looks spectacular; we added a new sink mounted below the new top in a color that compliments the stone. The material looks like 3'' thick granite slab, yet is only about an 1/2 inch thick. We did a very large (11' and 12' counter tops) L-shaped kitchen, including back splashes behind stove and sink, onto the wall, and over a counter divide to the family room.
