    Very disappointed. I went to see The Granite Guys in Calgary on February 10, 2025 about a small…read morebasement bathroom granite counter-top project. The counter-top fabrication was to be a rectangle of 75.5" long by 22.25" wide with a hole to accommodate an undermount sink. A pretty simple job. They sent me their standard form 2-page Contract ("Natural Stone/Quartz Fabrication Residential Agreement"). The first page contained name, location, contact details (name, address, phone), the Invoice/Job number and the pricing information, and the second page contained the scope of work information, and contract terms and conditions. The second page required two initials and a customer signature. It had already been electronically signed by an agent of the Company. On February 12, 2025, I signed the contract and paid the required 50% deposit. The three pillars of formation of a legal and binding contract were in place: their Offer, my Acceptance; and Consideration (a payment of money). Then on February 21, they sent me another 5-page document ("The ABC's of Countertop Installation") and said that they could not proceed with my project until I signed that document. I read it thoroughly, and there were things in there that were completely irrelevant to my project, and at least three things that were not acceptable to me because they could change the contract scope, price and quality. Some of them I agreed with, some I marked as not relevant and others that I objected to. I spent a few hours drafting a response to each and every point in the "ABC's" document and returned my comments to them on February 23. I received an email from them stating that they would not proceed with my job unless I signed (initialled) the document. I told them I could not sign it as-is, and was told that I should go somewhere else, because they were not going to do my job. I was shocked and insulted. They were effectively saying that they were breaching the contract and they didn't care. It is important to note that the Contract and the "ABC's" are two different and separate documents. The Contract is clearly marked as Page 1 and Page 2. The "ABC's" document does not have numbered pages, and is just a loose set of bullet points. There is no mention of the "ABC's" anywhere in the Contract. On Friday February 28, I received a call from Mr. Filipe Cabrales, who identified himself as one of the owners of the Company. Although we spent about 20 minutes on the phone, he could not understand that the two documents are different and separate, and that the "ABC's" were not a part of the Contract. I recommended that he seek legal assistance before closing the door on our Contract, because his Company was going into Breach of Contract. He remained firm, and at one point, he told me that he felt that I was wasting his time and that even being on the phone with me was "costing him money". My biggest concern at that point was their failure to understand the basics of contracts. We then exchanged emails to confirm our perspectives. On March 5, 2025, The Granite Guys returned the full amount of my 50% deposit, and the full-size template that I had prepared and delivered to them on February 12. I then had to find another supplier for my project, and that turned out to be the best part! I found a local competitor of theirs who gave me a quote that was ~15% cheaper, their personnel and installation crew were excellent, and the project was completed professionally and quickly. I don't recommend The Granite Guys based on my experience in dealing with them. (p.s., I am keeping all of the correspondence with them, just in case). I don't trust that they will be honest if they reply to my review.

    From the first time I walked into their store until the quartz counter tops were installed I had…read morenothing but a stellar experience. The salesman was very helpful and gave me a tour of their facilities to pick out the stone. The installation guys were polite and efficient. The new countertops are perfect. One critique I might make would be that any staff that answers the phone be a bit more professional and state company name but hey not something I stress about. I asked a ton of questions and bugged the heck out of the install crew and everyone was very patient with me adding to a great end result.

    After getting a few quotes, A1 Granite came in at the best price, by almost $1400, and with a 6 day…read moreinstall timeframe. The selection in the warehouse was amazing. Other places either had me drive all over town to suppliers or had little to no selection whatsoever. Install was good. Had to seal the granite and install my own brace for the bridge for slide in oven, sweep up the dust on front step from cutting done out there (previous companies did this as part of the job), but for the cost savings, I don't mind doing this. The seam by the sink is a bit rough, but again, for the price...not going to make a issue. The installers were fast and careful not to damage new cabinets or appliances. A good place to deal with, and will be going back to get bathroom vanities.

    We hired A1 Granite for a commercial project in Regina involving two kitchens. The countertops they…read moredelivered were significantly incorrect, could not be installed, and were completely unusable. These were not minor variances -- one did not match their own drawings, and another was undersized by a large margin, eliminating key functionality and making install impossible Despite this, A1 attempted to place responsibility on us for incorrect measurements, even though the work was quoted correctly (and paid for) off our rough dimensions and they required professional templating -- which is standard in this industry (in fact demanded - quite clearly not accepting customer measurements) When that position was challenged, they then argued it was our fault for approving their drawings, despite the fact that we are not fabricators, their contract does not assign that responsibility to the customer, and we have no knowledge of fabrication tolerances (clearances, blade allowances, wall recessing, etc.), which is exactly why templating exists. Their explanations continued to shift. They claimed no one was present during templating, despite this being an active office building during business hours with staff and our project supervisor on site. When that was disproven, they then suggested they were instructed otherwise -- without any documentation, and contrary to the quoted and invoiced scope (which did not reflect any reduction in material despite smaller fabricated pieces). Lastly, one of the kitchens they templated was off old cabinets even though we have documentation notifying them that this were to be changed, and again when they were changed and to come and measure (unless they were okay with the risk of going off the renderings we provided). Noone returned to template. They were hired to measure, fabricate, and install, but ultimately admitted to working from outdated cabinetry and did not properly re-template before cutting. Installation was never completed, and their crew arrived without the necessary tools to even finish the job. What made this worse was how it was handled afterward. From installers through to Sonia Sandhu and Aman Bathla (office in an entirely different province we had to deal with), there was no accountability. The only "resolution" offered was a partial refund or that we pay additional money to remake countertops that were incorrect due to their own work. Communication was inconsistent and difficult, and there was no meaningful effort to resolve the issue. This left us with unusable materials, disrupted operations, and no functioning kitchens, ultimately requiring us to hire replacement contractors and pay for entirely new installations. I have used this company before, and they previously made a measurement error that had to be corrected. Bottom line: Major fabrication errors followed by refusal to take responsibility. I would strongly recommend caution before working with this company.
