Five questions to ask BEFORE signing up for granite counter tops

1. Are the slabs I choose the actual slabs I will get?
2. How many seams will there be & where will they be located?
3. Do I need to remove my countertops BEFORE templating?
4. Will I pay extra to have old counters removed and disposed of?
5. Do you have equipment to re-polish surface imperfections?

More questions

• Can I see the layout of my templates?
• Do you blend the pattern on stone that needs it?
• Do you guarantee stone installations?
• Do you charge extra to seal stone that requires sealer?
• Do you refinish underneath of large overhangs?
• Are you a Marble Institute Accredited Fabricator?

Five Red Flags

• Minimum prices even if you have a much smaller kitchen than minimum advertised
• Unreasonable delivery schedules
• Samples instead of full slabs
• Slabs with dull spots and a faded look (commercial grade stone)
• Multiple bad reviews on web searches, even bankruptcy
