"We originally hired Stellar Stone to install a granite countertop we purchased at Menard’s. It was damaged in transit, so I called to see if Stellar could help us. Brenda was courteous and helpful in finding the perfect remnant for our project, and at a great price. She and Alex kept us up to date on the fabrication progress, and the earliest possible installation date was secured. The work went swiftly and professionally, and the result is beautiful. I heartily recommend that you call them."

CWE Renovations is ready to turn your project into a reality - no dream is out of reach! Our team of expert remodelers will give a thorough assessment & estimate for your project. Call today to get on our schedule!
"Our experience with CWE Renovations has been marked by a troubling lack of professionalism, accountability, and customer service. Despite having a comprehensive record of issues spanning nine pages, we will have to summarize the key points here to provide a clear picture of why we strongly advise against using this contractor. Project Timeline and Delays: We were initially given an estimated completion timeline of approximately 12 weeks for our basement renovation. Contrary to this, the project has now extended well beyond 18 weeks. We were assured on two separate occasions (6/27 and 7/11) that only two weeks of work remained. Unfortunately, scheduling has been disorganized, with no clear plan to ensure tasks are completed consecutively. For instance, the electrician's work remains pending with no definitive schedule, and the carpet installation, scheduled for August 19th, was delayed due to the contractor's failure to arrange for measurement until July 26th (despite us inquiring about this since 6/27). Communication and Accountability Issues: Our attempts to gather accurate information and resolve issues have gone ignored. We discovered discrepancies when we contacted Waste Management regarding the pickup of our bagsters, only to find no record of an order. Additionally, a metal rack has been left for 2.5 weeks in our driveway due to the contractor's failure to follow up with Home Depot immediately upon it being left behind by mistake. More concerning, we found that the electrician listed on our permit had no involvement with our project. Upon investigation, we learned that the permit was improperly filed under a business' name, and the electrician ,who worked for the business, was only working on our project as a side job, potentially jeopardizing their professional standing. Overall Experience: The most disappointing aspect has been the lack of communication and ownership. We are left with an incomplete basement and are now seeking a refund for the portions of the project that have not been completed as promised. Given these significant issues, we strongly recommend avoiding CWE Renovations for any renovation projects. Our experience underscores serious concerns regarding their reliability and commitment to customer satisfaction. Everything incomplete as 8/12 (18 weeks after the start date with a 12 week estimate): Electrician to finish outlets, lights, light switches, etc (no eta) â we paid for on 7/30 Carpet Installed (given a date of 8/19 which is completely unacceptable when we have been asking about this since 6/27) we paid for on 7/30 requesting this refunded since Carpet Installation Guy does not want to work with Dan and quoted us almost half to install Trim completed around stairs and in bathroom - Paid Metal Rack Removed from Doors (Offered to reach out myself since Dan doesn't seem to have any urgency in it) -Requesting Dan cover the cost to remove on 8/15 Garbage Removed (two bagsters) We paid for on 2/26 Door Installed over the breaker box Lien Waivers from Plumber, HVAC, Electrician Railing on the stairs (which we have made clear we do not want this in until carpet is installed so we can get our couch downstairs) Paid on 4/12 invoice"

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.
