The replacement of an older malfunctioning cooktop necessitated that we replace our countertops. We started out thinking we would just use laminate again but after talking to an experienced contractor, the project grew to include re-facing the cupboards and making a few minor changes to the configuration of the cupboards. As such, we decided to really make a statement and use a solid surface for the countertops. I found Prostone on the HomeStars site and being in our end of the city, I visited the showroom and was so glad I did. The sales rep, Alex showed me why natural versus synthetic stone is the way to go and took me into the warehouse / showroom to look at the slabs of stone. I was sold.
The pricing is very straight forward. They provided me with a price sheet with about 6 or 7 grades and under each there is a list of the stone types included. Best of all, the price included the double sink and any edging style they offered. When my husband came along to pick "our slab" it was a low key, no pressure experience as we were free to wander in the warehouse and select not only the type of granite but the very slab that would be used.
The counters were installed this week and the installers were top notch: prompt, clean, professional and very polite. We have a penninsula in the kitchen but the measurements were precise. Our contractor was very impressed by the quality, the installation and the price.
The re-facing is nearly finished and the kitchen is looking like we spent far far more than we did. The granite was the way to go and ProStone made the decision and experience easy, problem free and reasonalby affordable.
