    Francini Inc. Marble & Granite - Raleigh

    After almost 14 years in my house, I made the decision to update my kitchen. During the planning…read morephase, I visited numerous granite distributors to get to know different types of granite. At my first distributor, I discovered River White granite and really wanted it leathered; the leathering is done at the quarry before it goes to the distributors. The company I started with didn't have any in stock and really made no effort to help me find some (despite having multiple locations in their business. I arrived at Francini on President's Day and was immediately greeted by James. I told him what I was looking for and said he didn't have any in stock, but he offered me some alternatives that are from the same quarry as River White called Thunder White (in addition to exploring their HUGE site). He showed me a few options that were good, but not exactly what I wanted to enhance my kitchen. James chatted with me to understand exactly what I wanted (white/bright) and said he would be in touch. The NEXT morning, I had an email from James stating he had just approved a container of 49 slabs of Thunder White with a photo that was exactly what I had been dreaming of. It was much better than anything I had seen in all of my distributor visits. James had 14 slabs leathered from the container, so I could select exactly what I wanted. James kept in touch throughout the entire process (and even after) to keep me in the loop and know the current status and ETA for my granite (it takes time to get from the quarry in India to the US). When the slabs finally arrived, James let me know as soon as they were ready for me to come out to select the slabs for my kitchen. While I was there, I opted to double check to make sure I didn't want the polished version of these slabs, but I stuck with leathered because it just made me smile! Besides being helpful and accommodating, James went above and beyond to help me get exactly what I wanted. I have been telling people about James and Francini since the day I went to visit because I have been so pleased with the entire experience. I would suggest Francini (and James) to anyone who is looking to upgrade to Granite/Marble.
