Baltimore Natural Stone Tile

"These people probably do more countertops in Baltimore than anybody else. They fabricate everything at White Marsh and they are busy. The measuring guy and I decided that the large piece could go into the elevator. He specified that 2 additional people should be there to raise one end so it would fit in the elevator. When the top got there they had ...more 6 guys but the leader immediately decided that they would not do it this way. I think he was flexing his authority over the template guy. They wound up taking the top back and cutting it and installing it later that day. I have to live with a seamed top instead of the one I was promised. The installation was rushed and the two people who came back with the top were in a huge hurry. The installation shows the rush. I think they mainly do new construction and I was not impressed. For instance they spent 3 minutes wiping on sealer and missed a lot. We sealed the countertops ourselves later. The backsplashes are a poor fit. The countertops are just placed over the cabinets. No silicone or epoxy. Just held by their weight. Unless you get a lot better price from these guys I would try some of the smaller shops."

" was recommended to me by my plumber, Pat O' of O' Plumbing (another excellent company who I will also recommend). I can sum up all the details of the project in a few sentences. designed the kitchen and completed the project with one helper and a few subs. ...more He came in AHEAD OF SCHEDULE and UNDER BUDGET. They cleaned up the work area every day and kept all dust and debrise contained within the area they were working in. Throughout the entire project, we were never without working appliances to prepare meals. In fact, we did not eat out once. We went through the budget each week to see where we were with expenditures for labor and materials. Everything was transparent. The whole process was enjoyable and non-stressful. We also worked with

's wife,

C.

, who is a certified Interior Designer (whom I will also give a separate recommendation.. She gave us excellent advise on color and material choices that really brought the whole project together."

"Overall, it went very well. Their price was thousands of dollars below estimates I received from other home improvement companies. The owner, Vural ( ) Eral is very pleasant to work with and professional. He installed the countertops despite an unexpected delay in paying him. But, isn't great on details. ...more There were ramifications of my choice that I didn't realize until the work was completed. For instance, I wasn't told that my sink doesn't come with a drainer. It would have been easy to order that piece when I signed the contract. In addition, choosing granite (as opposed to laminate) countertops means that the tops will have to be cut off by

's crew every time I need access to my washing machine and dryer.

has assured me that his crew will come out at no charge to remove and reinstall the counter. That's a satisfactory solution. To be fair,

said that this was the first time he'd encountered these particular design challenges."

"Their prices were very competitive. Their service was fantastic! The counter tops were delivered when they said they were going to be. The counter tops fit beautifully, they did have to make a few adjustments, but those were completed timely manner. We are very pleased with their work!"

"The job was huge, at times complex, with many decisions to be made along the way. Mr. was patient, detail oriented, extremely skilled and a perfectionist. His price tag was VERY reasonable given the size of the job and the level of his expertise and craftmanship."

"We met at his business location where he gave us a tour and explained in detail how the granite would be cut, fabricated, and sealed. He gave us the names and addresses of granite suppliers where we could visit to select our granite slabs. Previously, we had been told by other granite counter suppliers that we would need separate ...more contractors for plumbing, and electrical, and that we would have to pay additional money to have our kitchen cabinets made level. However, at

, they performed all the work needed, from measuring to installation of plumbing.

even sold us a kitchen stainless steel sink and a bathroom sink at a cost below anything I could find on the Internet for the same products. Within two weeks of selecting our granite slabs,

had them delivered to his business, did the fabrication work, and installed them. We are very pleased with his work. The

cost was thousands less than the other 4 companies that bid on our project. Our counters are BEAUTIFUL!"

" came to the house a couple of times to get correct measurements, because we got a new after the first measure. He also suggested an arced cut for the countertop on the island, which looks good. 4 people came to install and it took about 2 hours."

"He came to bid, had the best price, was pleasant and informative. He arranged for us to select the material from the wholesaler, responded promptly, made an appointment and kept it. He and his helper worked efficiently and quietly, cleaned up thoroughly, and did an excellent job. He provided a plumber and oversaw his work. He even put a granite top ...more on a cocktail table at no charge, saying he had trouble getting rid of the material removed for sinks. On the whole, an outstanding experience in terms of value, service, courtesy and promptness."
