Hi Kercove,
The slabs of granite are from the Granite Depot
in Westborough Ma. I worked with Paula.
A wonderful place. They moved so many slabs until
I found the ones I liked. She even held a bunch
just in case I changed my mind.
The installer is a company that has been in
business for years. But I have not had them
actually install yet. So I can not say how they do
with seams or edges etc... I am really nervous
after seeing all the terrible issues on our Garden
web site. The actual install does not happen for
another 10 days.
However I love how they have worked with me so far.
They have truly helped me in every way with the
counters. I believe the father Brice has been doing
this for years as everyone knows him. I have been
working with the son Jesse.
BFR and Associates
I hope it is okay that I put their website on here.
http://www.bfrandassociates.com/
They are located in Manchester NH
but they do jobs in Maine, Canada, Mass, VT
I have been searching for a long time.
They are not the cheapest but they are not
the most expensive either. They are a fair price
for the job.
I have also looked at Ripano but they were too high.
I looked at Holbrook Granite they seemed nice but I had
no recommendations about them. They do not even show
their work on line. I liked BFR because I could actually
go and see the countertops in person. BFR does commercial
work. I also checked out Spencer Granite but thought they
might be too far away from my actual home.
I also visited the Boston Granite Exchange. I do not know
if they install or just sell slabs. They have
lovely slabs but the lighting is terrible in there so
it is hard to see up close. I believe but do not know this
for a fact that the Boston Granite Exchange prices
their slabs higher than other places. I only heard this
in passing from another customer. Not sure this is the
truth or not. But in my case my installer found the
stone cheaper at The Grantie Depot.
Their lighting was much nicer to inspect slabs too.
I hope this helps.
I wish I could afford Christopher Peacock in Boston.
I would have had them do my entire kitchen. :)
Good luck.
