We pride our company on reliability, great communication, integrity, and quality work. We are experts in our trade and will do our best to keep you as educated as we can on your task or project. We look forward to earning your business! We are specialists in countertops and experts in beautifying homes – which is proof of the effort we put into each individual project. We believe that the best way to build and maintain trust is to conduct each element of our business according to the highest standards of integrity. The goal to exceed our customers’ expectations has always been embedded in our core values which still represent the cornerstone of our existence.
"Update on 10/13/2022: The response provided by the business below is inaccurate, and another example of dishonest and unethical conduct. The facts are, we were not provided our deposit back even when they were not able to provide the service, and we had to dispute charges thru our credit card company to get our money back. So my advice still remains the same, do not work with them. If you do, at least ensure you modify the contract to include a clause to get your deposit back if they are unable to provide the service in an acceptable timeframe. Their current contract has no such protection for customers, they have unlimited time to provide the service. Use a Credit card for added protection if the company refuses to pay you back what they owe you. We had a horrible experience working with Granite works and will not recommend this company to anyone. We selected a quartz countertop with their sales rep (Evan and Snell), we paid the 70% deposit and were told that the countertop will be installed within 1 week after the measurement. They could not deliver the countertop even 3 weeks after the measurement as their supplier did not have it in stock, and they could not even give us a timeframe for when it will be in stock. So we asked to give our deposit back. At this point, they said they will deduct 30% from the deposit as a contract cancellation fee! and refused to give our full deposit back or give a timeframe of when they will be able to install the countertop. We were so shocked by this response and were totally in disbelief that the company could do this and act with such dishonesty. This is a brick-and-mortar store with several years of business, maybe they are under new ownership, otherwise, I am not sure how they could survive with such bad business practices. Fortunately, we paid using a credit card. Our credit card company was able to dispute the charges on our behalf. But we had to go thru a lot of stress and paperwork just because we had $5,500 at risk (70% deposit) and our kitchen remodeling project was stuck incurring additional contractor expenses. Please be careful working with this company. If you do decide to work, please ensure you modify the contract with a clause that gets your deposit back if the company is unable to provide the service within the acceptable timeframe. Their current contract has no such protection for customers. And from our experience, we can tell that Granite Works will not act ethically in difficult situations. Also, always use a credit card for payments as it provides additional safety and protection for the customers in such situations."

Owner operated full service design, build & remodeling company. We specialize in custom homes, kitchens, bathrooms and whole house renovations. What makes us successful and one of the most profitable boutique companies is, excellent communication skills and having the owner on job site!!!
"It can be so stressful to find trustworthy companies that do high-quality work. Here’s why we have trusted Ultimate Remodel with our kitchen, bathrooms, basement, and office renovations for the past eight years. - Everyone, from Tunch to the crew, takes pride in their work. They pay attention to detail and go above and beyond. For example, in our most recent project, we had old baseboards that were a mess from the previous owner, but that were outside the project area. The crew sanded and repainted the baseboards, making our house blend in with the freshly renovated area. - Tunch provides his expertise in design, while matching our needs and visions for the space. He provides insight about changes that could impact our house’s value and makes recommendations for efficient use of space based on his extensive experience, but ultimately lets us choose the final product. For example, he made several suggestions to our laundry room plans that greatly improved the utility of the space. - Every project comes with unexpected challenges. What keeps us coming back to the crew and Tunch is the small number of issues that arise, and the ease of fixing the issues that do come up. Home renovation is stressful, and it’s so important to feel like your contractor is working with you towards a great final project, compared with nickel-and-diming you based on reasonable requests. I’ll also add that Tunch has kept members of his crew around for years, and I appreciate the expertise, consistency, and experience that comes with that. I highly recommend Ultimate Remodel."

We provide competitive pricing without a lack of quality or professionalism. We are built on the premise that without our customers we wouldn't be here.
"Our deck caught fire last summer and we contracted Chris Heinz to do the rebuilding and replacement of our fire-damaged exterior. Chris was wonderful to work with! He worked with our insurance company tirelessly and also kept us informed every step of the way. He and his crew removed our old deck and siding, and built a new deck, a landing and stairs off our kitchen, installed a new sliding door and four windows, replaced our siding and trim, and installed new outdoor lighting. There were a few delays due to the pandemic and materials being readily unavailable from one of the manufacturers, but the timeframe was reasonable given the circumstances. Chris and his crew did an amazing job and we couldn’t be happier. We love our beautiful new deck and the new siding and trim. We get so many compliments from our neighbors and passers-by! We will definitely go to Chris next time we need work on our house and recommend him to everyone!"

We design and build custom outdoor living spaces in natural wood, low maintenance materials, natural stone, and concrete pavers. We're fully licensed and insured. We have been in business since 1989 and have thousands of satisfied customers throughout the DC Metro Area. We are A+ Rated with the BBB and have won Angie's List Super Service Award for 6 years in a row. We do not offer staining, sealing, and cleaning services.
"I'm absolutely thrilled with the work Sean and his crew did on our screened porch. I'm fairly particular and wanted to be involved in the project, probably more than most clients, and Sean worked with me throughout to get the porch I wanted. He was communicative and explained pros/cons of all the various options. Partway through the project, we realized our pre-existing front porch needed some repairs too, and Sean seamlessly added that to the project and was very reasonable on the price. Once the team started, the work went quickly but was clearly done very carefully. The attention to detail was fantastic, and the end result is a beautiful and functional porch that we're thrilled with. In the first week after the porch was completed, at least 6-8 different sets of neighbors stopped us to say it looked great. I would absolutely use American Deck again for a similar project and have recommended them to friends."

"STAY AWAY!!!! This Company cancelled the initial estimate on me 3 times making me drive 90 minutes to the property each time. They finally showed and gave me the typical hard sell "if you sign the contract today..." They gave us a quote so far over market value we should have walked away. But we agreed because of the "70 year history in the industry" We thought we were buying a service from a company with integrity. They took an immediate $18K deposit on a $55K project. I know, shame on me for agreeing to such an amount. We knew we were over spending, but... One month later, they simply cancelled the contract without explanation and without any work on the project. This contract was binding on us but, in their words, was not binding on them because "there's a clause in the fine print that allows them to cancel" THEY STILL HAVE OUR MONEY and I STILL NEED A ROOF Stay away from this company. No integrity No responsibility Unreliable Over priced Will take your money and keep it"

When properly installed and maintained with regular sealing, granite countertops can last up to 100 years or more. Their exceptional durability comes from the natural strength of the stone and professional installation that ensures every detail is perfect. With consistent upkeep, your granite countertop will provide lasting beauty and performance for decades.
Granite countertop installations can be completed in a short time period and take between two hours and one day. The installation timeframe is determined by the countertop’s size, the number of slabs or tiles, and the required preparatory work. Professional installers coordinate precise measurements, material handling, and cutting to deliver a flawless finish without disrupting your routine.
There are several alternatives to granite countertops that provide excellent performance and visual appeal. Marble offers a timeless, luxurious look, quartz delivers superior strength and low maintenance, and laminate provides a cost-effective and stylish solution. Each option comes with distinct installation requirements and care profiles, allowing you to choose based on design preference and budget.
Granite countertops boost home value by combining enduring durability with refined aesthetics. Their sophisticated appeal and low-maintenance properties enhance kitchen functionality and property desirability, contributing to a significant return on investment. High-quality granite installation results in a modern, appealing space that elevates overall home value, assisting homeowners in recovering a substantial portion of the installation cost.
