Q: Do you do free estimates?
A: "Yes, but we don’t go out to clients’ homes; they need to bring in a drawing. To help with this step, our website has a design layout form that can be downloaded and filled out."
Q: Should I be concerned about radon?
A: "Radon is a naturally-occurring gas that can be found in materials that come from the earth, like marble and granite. We have a radon detector in our warehouse that constantly tests radon levels to make sure they’re below what’s considered dangerous. We can even test a specific piece of granite if a customer requests it."
Q: How long will the job take?
A: "It depends on the size of the job. Most jobs only take one day—including tear-out and installation—because we do it all onsite. However, there are occasions when a bigger job may take two days or more."
Q: What about demolition?
A: "Demolition is optional. Customers can either do it themselves, ask their contractor to do it, or contract us to do it. If they choose us, we’ll tear out the old material and dispose of it. Including demolition, most jobs still only take one day."
Q: What kind of cabinets do you recommend?
A: "We’re proud to be an authorized dealer of Armstrong cabinetry. Armstrong offers a great product line to fit almost any design or budget. We have several different wood styles, and each one has a variety of colors and doors to choose from."
Q: What’s the proper way to maintain granite countertops?
A: "Once a granite countertop is sealed with Dry-Treat, the maintenance is very easy. We just ask people to wipe it down with a neutral cleaner and a towel. You don’t have to use an expensive cleaner or do anything special to it, but we do recommend not putting any hot objects directly on the countertop, because that could possibly emulsify the sealant or leave a dull mark. We give each customer an instruction sheet at the end of the job, and there’s always someone at the office to answer questions."
Q: Do you have other kinds of stone besides granite?
A: "Yes. We also carry marble and quartz."
