We just finished our kitchen and needed to look for countertops. The contractor recommended a bunch of stone yards and fabricators and we did our shopping. We stumbled across Marble.com and at first were a bit skeptical. We did our research and there were limited reviews for this Farmingdale location. That being said, we did find one person in the community who used and had a great experience so we took a shot. The big factor in using them was price - about $1K to $1500 less (as much as you can compare apples to apples) for our Quartzite countertops than what the others were offering. This is because they cut out the middle man. They sell you the stone, fabricate it and install it. Here is how the process worked -
We went down there and walked through the yard and identified what we like. We took the numbers in and they gave us some quotes. Everything was laid out - stone, template for cutting sink and edging. Basically, you pay for exactly what is there - no surprises. Even the 4 holes i needed for the sink they didn't charge me, they took care of that during install.
We called them the day before we were ready to do the countertops. They sent someone over the next day who was on time and very courteous. They used the latest laser and CAD technology to do the measurements. They told me I would need no seams based on the measurements. They took my sink (you need the sink to provide them). Upon completion results are uploaded to office.
You show up at office and pay 50% in certified check- you select your stone and they tape it all out with you so you can pick the pieces you like for the different areas. They were very accomodating. In fact, we worked with Robert who was top notch. He even found a piece from elsewhere to match perfectly where we needed another section. Once done, you sign, they go over the selections again including edging and you are set.
The next day they fabricate it all and can do the install asap. We had this all done in 1 week!
A team of four showed up at the house and asked for the remaining balance in certified check. They then began install and were very careful in putting each piece on the cabinets. They caulked accordingly. They put in the sink, undermounted and sealed it nice. The whole job was done perfect. We noticed one edge with a chip and they sanded it down like new. They sealed the stone and cut the holes. All done within 1 hour.
My wife and I were extremely impressed and we would absolutely recommend to anyone else.
