Get matched with top stone slab countertops repairers (granite, marble, quartz, etc) in Avonmore, PA

"Great job. It looks like new siding after repairs."

"I'm so glad that we found Premier. Mike and Kemper were excellent at helping us to decide what natural stone was best for our project. We looked at quite a few granite/stone fabricators and found Premier to offer the best selection and the most knowledgeable staff. The sell and fabricate the slabs, thus eliminating the middle man. We love our counters!"

"We had a fantastic experience with BKG Design (North Hills Location). Our kitchen designer, Noelle, came up with a great design given the small size of our kitchen that was right in line with our expectations. Throughout the entire process she was there to give design tips and help us create the modern look we were envisioning. Given the age of our previous kitchen we needed a fair amount of work done including demo, electrical, plumbing, and some floor work on top of the new cabinets and countertops. What I loved about Noelle and BKG was there was never any pressure or upselling along the way. All of our options were laid out to us from least expensive to most expensive and any part of the project that we wanted to do ourselves or hire an outside contractor for they were happy to accomodate. We ended up choosing BKG for the entire remodel and I am so happy that we did. Noelle did a fantastic job of project management as the entire remodel fell exactly to plan from both a time and cost perspective. Noelle would check in frequently to make sure we were aware of what was next to come, any upcoming decisions we had to make, and clarify items if there was any potential for confusion. In addition to project management, the install itself went very smoothly and that was thanks to the wonderful installers, Bill and Chris. Given that I work from home I was able to witness their work each day and I have nothing but praise for everything that they did. They showed up on time every single day and did not skip a beat from the moment they walked through the door. They were always quick to answer any questions I had and even go so far as to explain how things are done or provide advice as I like to learn a bit myself. Their knowledge of what they were doing was very apparent and impressive and it shows in the final product. If you want a kitchen remodel that is managed properly, stays true to cost estimates, and has a finished product that aligns with your expectations, look no further. The whole crew has years of experience in this arena and they run a fantastic shop. Thanks BKG Design! (I will be adding pictures shortly after we put on some finishing touches)"

"Once our granite slab was sent to them, they contacted us right away to come out and view the kitchen,
they came out and measured and about a week later they came out and installed.   They were very professional.  They don't use the laser templating, which is why their prices is cheaper.   Overall the fit of the granite was close to perfect.   There is one spot where the measurement wasn't exact but they were able to fill the area with something and it isn't noticable to the average person.  I know its there because i saw them do it but someone who doesn't know about it wouldn't notice it.
The seam work is great - they really pay attention to detail making sure the flow of the stone matches up.   Great Job!

"I researched various types of kitchen countertops for a while, and chose quartz instead of granite because the prices were comparable, the color pattern was more consistent with quartz (without picking out a particular slab of granite), and I did not have to consider future resealing as a possibility. I also considered several different vendors and received estimates. Then I entered my request online with Origins Granite, which was recommended by others on Angie's List, and immediately received a call from them. They sent a representative to my home that brought various samples. I decided to use them because the price they quoted me was all-inclusive and better than previous estimates, including all the plumbing work, new sink and edge cuts that cost extra with other vendors. The only thing that I had to purchase separately was the faucet; they used the model number to fabricate the holes needed in the countertop. About one week after signing the contract, they called to say my color choice had become unavailable. They presented three other choices but recommended one of the three as the closest to my original choice. I agreed and immediately realized from my previous research that it was from a more expensive manufacturer. They assured me that my original price quote would not change. They took care of everything: measurements were taken and installation was completed on the date I originally requested. I am very happy with the outcome; it is a great match for my kitchen. All of the people I dealt with at the office and in my home were very accommodating, courteous and professional. I would highly recommend this company to others.

"The project went better than any home project we’ve had so far (and we’ve had A LOT of home projects)! This is a company that cares about their name, the work, and the homeowners. With a culture like this, its easy to see why the process goes smoothly. They check in regularly throughout to make sure the work is getting scheduled quickly, then they check in to make sure the work is satisfactory and as planned and then they check in to make sure the work was completed as planned. Really, a fantastic company we’d work with again!"

"Arrived as scheduled. Asked exactly what we wanted done. Suggested that the grout between bottom tile and kitchen counter be replaced with caulk. He provided the caulk and repaired all cracked grout. Also applied caulk around tub.

"I debated writing this review for a while. I hired SL Contractors based on the reviews and meeting Willis. I wish the ending had a better story but feel I need to share my experience so others may be warned. I’ll start with the positive. Willis genuinely seems like a nice person and the floors came out beautiful. Now for the not so positive. Willis was consistently late. Every appointment he showed up late, this should have raised a red flag for me but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. My project was way behind schedule and over budget. He originally told me 1 ½ weeks. I had told him I needed to go out of town for business on 3 separate dates and we built those days into the scope of work from the start. I ended up cancelling 2 of the 3 trips to give him extra time. He still went past the agreed date by an additional week and half. He worked alone for the majority of the project and would show up on most days between 11-1 leaving around 5. Half way through the project he gave me a slip for additional work/materials. None of which we discussed prior or I had any idea was coming. I sent him an email saying I was concerned and needed to ensure no more surprises and we had to stay on budget. He said the additional materials was because I had selected a more expensive granite for the countertops. I was a bit confused as I had told him from the very start what granite I wanted and we met at the granite yard to select the slab (he was almost 2 hours late for the appointment). The granite was scheduled for a Friday when I was going to be out of town for the last trip which I absolutely could not cancel but I changed my flight and came home the night prior to accommodate. However, he ordered the wrong sink and had to reschedule the granite install which I found out during the trip so I changed my flight for nothing. He told me he scheduled the install for the following Friday. The Tuesday night prior to the Friday new install date I told him I had an early appointment Wednesday I could not miss and he needed to be here because additional hardwood was being delivered, he had estimated incorrect square footage and I had to order more (which he agreed to pay half for the additional materials). He said he would be here. As I was walking out the door for the appointment the granite installers were just about to knock on the door. No sign of Willis. They said the install was scheduled for Wednesday not Friday. I called Willis and he said he was on his way and would be there in 45 min. He showed up about 1 ½ hrs later and the installers had left. He did have them come back in the afternoon. However, when they arrived they showed me the invoice to show me the install date. The invoice was for about half what was in the proposal with the contract but the square footage was more. Willis had calculated the square footage incorrectly for the granite as well as the flooring. At the end of the project he had more additional charges. I pointed out the difference in granite price which with the additional he was trying to charge me was well over double. I understand a mark up so he can cover his costs and for his time organizing however over double is not fair. He tried to say he had to demo the old countertops but again I pointed out that was already a line item. He also tried to charge me for a faucet but I had went out and bought the faucets for the powder room and kitchen myself. We discussed and I thought we came up with a fair agreement where we split the additional costs and we both felt comfortable, I still feel his miscalculations should not be put on me but I didn’t want to be unreasonable. Again, he was way over the contracted date of completion and still over our agreed upon cost. He told me he would call for the dumpster pick up and it would be removed within 3 days. After 4 days I texted him letting him know it wasn’t picked up and that once I had a painter I would send him pictures of the before/after. He responded with “ok”. I sent another text the next day asking for the number of the company for the dumpster as it wasn’t picked up and got no response. I waited 2 days and then sent a text again, no response. I called him and got voicemail. I then got a call from someone saying Willis was not authorized to deduct the amount we had agreed upon and therefore they cancelled the dumpster pick up and I would need to take care of it myself, both cost and scheduling. She wouldn’t give me a number or even the name of the company. She said Willis had given me a discount already. However the discount did not come close to the additional charges for his miscalculations. She also mentioned he didn’t charge me for the additional labor. I explained we had a contracted end date so the additional time was not my fault and he miscalculated that too. There were some additional line items I did agree to pay because again, I wanted to be fair. For example, he added costs for putting the baseboards back on and rehanging closet doors which I thought should be included but let that go as it was not specified in the agreement so I felt that was on me, there were a few other little things I just said okay on. I looked up online the dumpster pickup and called them. I found out that he had over filled the dumpster bags and I would need to order another bag and remove the overflow myself. This was the final straw for me. I was not going to write a review at all and let it go but I feel others should be informed when making the decision to hire Willis. Again, his work seems great but I question a contractor that miscalculates measurements at every turn and tries to over charge for his mistakes. Also to not even tell me they were canceling the dumpster (which was a line item in our agreement) was just outright dishonest and unfair. Now I am concerned that if anything goes wrong with the flooring he won’t make it right. It is disappointing to end the project with doubt and mistrust."

"To first start this off Jason came out and explained everything that would be removed and installed. We got on there schedule and Brian and terry were there to do the work. Terry did all the mechanical work followed by Brian who did an excellent job with all the tile work and Jason came in to do the finish work it was a great experience. Hope we can do more projects together.

"Les promptly arrived for our scheduled estimate and was attentive to listening to our ideas, thorough and efficient in taking measurements and making calculations, and mailed us a written quote within the next few days. We hadn't moved in yet and Les was very flexible and accommodating of our schedules, able to meet us both at our old residence in Squirrel Hill and our new home in Etna.
Although it was a bit counter-intuitive, we asked for work on the floors to be done first so that they would be finished before we began to move our furniture. Our schedule was rather tight and Jim aka Mr. Sandman and his staff worked quickly and diligently. Our house is an older one without central air and it was especially impressive to see how hard everyone was working despite the 80-90 degree summer weather. Jim came to examine our floors and was very thorough in explaining the characteristics of our floor and how he was able to ascertain that it was white oak. We settled on a matte, light honey-colored finish to highlight the quality of the wood. The team removed our radiator covers and moved the piano that our house inherited (no small feat!) and was also able to patch in floor boards to fill in a gap where there had once been a banister. In all, a large living room, a large dining room, stair treads, small landing, and larger second floor landing were refinished flawlessly.
In the meantime, the crown molding that we had custom made to match the original molding was finished and Les offered to pick it up for us so that it would save us a trip out. Les' two employees worked quickly and thoroughly in removing the old, non-matching molding and cutting and installing the new pieces. The new pieces were indistinguishable from the old once we painted them and the workers took great care to not harm the new floor.
We thought that we would have to sister in some new floor beams to strengthen the floor under the bathroom but Les' workman informed us that structurally, the floor was sound, and there was no need to perform any repair. We certainly appreciated his honesty! Because we were able to save money by not doing that project. we asked Les to do some plaster repairs for us--we had a ceiling in the attic that needed to be mudded because of moisture coming in from the roof,several holes that we had inherited from the previous owner, and several more that were made by our electrician. All of these were fixed in a careful and efficient manner. We were especially impressed with the repairs on the ceiling where swirls in the plaster had to be matched. After a layer of primer and paint, those repairs too, were seamless.
Overall, we were very impressed with Commonwealth's professionalism and commitment to doing good work at a fair price. Les checked in regularly to ensure that the work was going well and that we were satisfied. He was easy to reach and all of his employees were pleasant, competent gentlemen. The scope and type of work we needed shifted during the project and I was most impressed with how Les was able to adapt to our changing needs. Our needs and budget were modest and I'm sure there are more lucrative projects out there, but Les always made us feel like our projects and our satisfaction was a priority to him and Commonwealth. It was our first experience working with a contractor and doing any home renovations and this was certainly a good one. We'll be happy to call on Commonwealth in the future for our next big projects.
