Granite Countertop Recommendation

[Sam Merrill]

Hey all,

I just had Frank from DMV Granite give me a free estimate on my 53sq ft kitchen counter tops. The price was at least a $1000 dollars lower than other quotes we got.

Quoted me:

$1950 for everything that included:

White Moon Granite

Installation and Haul Away

A Free Single Sink and Installation

I'm planning on adding to the order:

A Double Sink & Install +$350

Plumbing +$250

Granite Lip + $400

Additional Total = $2950

He also quoted me a subway tile backsplash for $2000, if I decide on that I'm going to try and talk him down. That would make my total $4550.

Anyway

They have a special going on right now that I think is pretty good: http://www.dmvgranite.com/

IMO, these are higrade improvements for PERSONAL homes, not a rental - - even a Class-A.

Granite is POUROS and will  take permanent stains.  The require frequent sealing to enable a serviceable life span and you can't expect a tenant to do that.

Use a non-pouros surfaces like title or a newer product called solid laminate (see Homedepot or Lowes).
