Always visit the retail or showroom to get a ground felling.

Ask question about why different places sale on different prices, craftsmanship, stone quality, what is included on the price per Sq.Ft.

ask for clients name and number, you can contact and get a reference.

A Granite or Marble top will last for ever so take your time and make sure you get the best for your money, find at least 3 companies to bid your project (remember look beyond prices ) and make a decision.

If you are doing a small project always ask for (remnants) you may find that granite for that space on a small piece,
where the mill (us) will give you a better price since the possibilities to use it are rare (cannot be combined).
