Fantastic! Entire team performed perfectly. The quartz countertop was exactly what we ordered. Install went well including the install of the Franke workstation sink. Subcontracted plumber was timely and professional. We are very pleased.

It went very well. They couldn't provide their in house plumbing services at the time for a very timely install so they used an outside source. The outside source didn't perform as expected. California counter tops was notified and they corrected the situation promptly. I had a very good discussion with the project manager about the overall project and the concerns I had with the install team, she was aware of and were "working out the kinks." I simply had concerns due to the fact that I was also in the remodeling business and I wanted to point out to her things that could make the install team become more efficient and to receive an outstanding customer review.

Hugo, from California Countertop, was excellent. He sanded out minor scratches, a white burn mark, and a small chip on the edge of my countertop. The counters look new! He cleaned up the kitchen afterwards, leaving my kitchen looking great. I would highly recommend California Countertop for Corian refinishing.

California Countertop Inc performed beautifully and the craftsmanship is perfect as far as we can see. The material is 1/2and quot; solid Corian and the panels were so large that they had to brought into the house in pieces. The seams were fabricated so accurately that I cannot find them even knowing where they are. There was a miscommunication regarding the backing required for the Corian but the President, Wayne Krumenacker, came to our house to review the situation and resolved the problem at California Countertop's expense. I am very pleased with the result. If you hire California Countertop to install a shower, please verify the dimensional accuracy (both in side lengths and diagonal lengths) required for your walls. As I understand it, they only fabricate rectangular shower pans and non-parallel opposite walls may present a problem.
Description of Work: California Countertop Inc fabricated and installed a custom ceiling height 36"x36" shower stall with pan and ceiling. There is a window box and soap box.

Everything was done in excellent fashion. Sales person Christine Mora was responsive and knowledgeable. Our inquiries and concerns were dealt with professionally. The displays of countertops, sinks and fixtures were numerous, high-quality and easily accessible for viewing. Visits to our home for template and installation were punctual. One misunderstanding regarding installation schedule was corrected immediately and pleasantly. The results pleased us very much.

We initially visited California Countertop to get an estimate to install a quartz Caesarstone countertop in our newly installed kitchen. California Countertop was the local authorized dealer for the Caesarstone brand. When we visited the showroom the sales person saw we had our kitchen installed through IKEA and she told us that California Countertops does all of IKEA's installations. She also told us that IKEA has the cheapest prices in town and suggested we purchase the countertop through IKEA since California Countertop did the installation anyway. This is what we did. California Countertop did a fantastic jon on the installation and we are very pleased with the result.
Description of Work: California Countertop was the contracted installer for IKEA's Caesarstone kitchen countertop(s). We had a new kitchen installed through IKEA and California Countertop installed the 57.5 sq ft of Caesarstone quartz countertop(s) with undermount sink.

I had talked with a California Countertops representative over the phone two times prior to going to their location, and decided to stop in for a quote. The second call was to specifically to find out what information they would need to complete a quote when we came to their physical location. When my wife and I went in with the requested information this same representative proceeded to tell my wife and I what a bad job I had done with the requested information along with a general diatribe against men (as if that mattered) in general. I initially just took it as a general ribbing and nothing serious and ignored it. However, my wife did not take it that way and mentioned it to me as soon as we left the premise. Upon which, after discussing with her, I agreed that the encounter was very unprofessional. All things being equal, I told her, maybe we just took it the wrong way and to give them another chance. On the next encounter, with updated information as requested by California Countertops (that I was sure to meticulously prepare this time) this same representative assisted my wife to create a quote. I was unable to go this time since California Countertops closes at 5pm and I work until 5pm. My wife did not feel that this person was all that helpful, was in fact just the opposite, and that she was made to feel like did not know what she was doing. That's exactly the point, we don't, and that is why we are there, to get their assistance. It's unbelievable as a potential customer that we were treated in such a way. At the end of this encounter, with a quote in hand, my wife asked for our documentation back. The representative initially refused, since she had written California Countertop confidential information on it. The representative did not want us to be able to take the documentation (ours) to any competitors for a quote. What kind of response was that, refusing to give my wife back our own information? Again, I am failing to understand why such a thing would be said. I can understand the reasoning, but, if the representative failed to make herself a copy for her own notations, that we as a potential customer should be refused our information back based upon the representative's mistake. Mistake made, the California Countertop representative should have lived with it, and provided our information back to us. Their mistake, not ours. In the end, my wife got our documentation back, but with the "confidential" California Countertop information scribbled out. This scribbling in effect overwrote a portion of the information prepared by me, thereby making our documentation useless in using to provide to another company for use in creating a quote. This required me to re-prepare that same documentation that any company would need in order to provide us with a quote. Initially, I felt that, bygones should by bygones, and to move on. However, the more my wife and I talked about it, they more we decided this is exactly the type of customer treatment that should be reported to Angie's List for any prospective California Countertop customer to be able to review prior to doing business with them.
Description of Work: The only services performed was a quote to replace our existing tile kitchen countertops with Corian, or a Corian clone.

I visited the CA Countertop showroom and they let me take samples home. An estimator came out and took measurements. The installer did a clean and seamless job, as did the plumber. All staff from sales to the installers were very helpful and professional. I plan to call on them again later this year to have my kitchen countertops redone.

They did a very good job. They were very neat and very clean. They picked up after themselves when they were completed. The instillation was well done. The bathroom countertops were about $2,000 and the kitchen countertops were about $4,500. I would use them again for future services and would also recommend them to others.

They were a little difficult to get scheduled because they are very busy, but they are well worth the wait. They came to the house to access the work that needed to be completed and to do the measurements. They then arrived approximately two weeks later and did the demolition work and installed the counter tops. They look wonderful and I would recommend them.

The experience was very bad. From the scheduling person to the installers; it was bad news. The installation scheduler had a nasty attitude and acted as if she was doing me a favor in scheduling my appointment for the countertop to be installed. One of the two installers was totally inexperienced and of no help to the primary installer fellow. The primary installer got so frustrated with the second guy that they almost came to blows. The insults between them were flying. I had to calm the primary installer down. To add to this, the countertop quartz piece was cut too long and ended up hanging out by about 2 inches. When I discovered this is was too late. Stay away from this company.

THEY WERE THE MOST COMPETITIVE BID I GOT. BECAUSE THE DIMENSIONS WERE TAKEN SEVERAL WEEKS EARLIER, THE FINISHED PIECES WERE BROUGHT INTO THE KITCHEN WITHOUT HAVING TO CUT THEM TO SIZE INSIDE THE HOUSE (WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN QUITE DUSTY AND DIRTY). AFTERWARDS, THEY SWEPT UP EVERYTHING, AND POLISHED THE COUNTERTOPS TO MAKE IT SHINY.
Description of Work: HAD NEW CORIAN COUNTERTOPS INSTALLED IN OUR NEW REMODELED KITCHEN. A DESIGN WAS TAKEN AND EVERYTHING WAS CUSTOM-CUT FROM THE FACTORY TO FIT PERFECTLY WITH OUR CABINETS. A SMALL 'LIP' WAS INSTALLED AT THE EDGE TO PREVENT STUFF FROM ROLLING OFF THE COUNTERTOP. THE SINK WAS ALSO INSTALLED WITH A SEAMLESS EDGE AS WELL.

THIS COMPANY GAVE THE MOST COMPETITIVE BID OUT OF FOUR BIDS I RECEIVED. THEY WERE PROMPT, EFFICIENT (DID REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION WITHIN A ONE WEEK PERIOD!), AND THE INSTALLERS WERE FRIENDLY AND HARDWORKING. THERE WAS A COMMUNICATION ERROR ON THE 6 INCH BACKSPLASH AND A 4 INCH ONE WAS SENT ON INSTALLATION DAY BUT THEY IMMEDIATELY SENT ANOTHER EMPLOYEE OUT WITH A 6 INCH BACKSPLASH WITHIN THE HOUR. HOMEOWNER ASKED FOR SPECIAL ROUNDING OF ONE OF THE BACKSPLASH EDGES WHERE IT MET A WALL AND THIS WAS DONE IMMEDIATELY ON THE SPOT. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO OTHERS AND AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE JOB THEY PERFORMED.
