Beautiful Work

I love my new countertop. I purchased a new quartz countertop from this company and it is beautiful. The price was within my budget and the work was excellent. The workers came right when they said they would and did not leave any mess after the install. My faucet came with a soap dispenser that I initially decided not to have installed. Well, two weeks later I called back and asked if they would come and drill a hole for the soap dispenser for I had changed my mind. They came the next day. AT NO EXTRA COST. Well done Stone & Cabinets.
