I wanted to start with the positive, but when I found this company on yelp, they only had 6 bad reviews, so the very first thing I want to say is that not every customer has a bad experience with these guys. My experience was FABULOUS!!!
I purchased granite countertops from Home Depot, who contracted the installation out to Top South. I can't remember the timing, but it seemed like minutes after I arrived home from purchasing at HD, Heather, from Top South, was already calling me to discuss the materials and let me know what to expect. This was incredibly helpful as I had never had any work like this done in the past.
Over the next few weeks, I went to pick the exact slab of granite from their distribution center (my choice; not their requirement). I was tickled that they allowed me to go into the warehouse and comb through the slabs and pick the exact one I would have in my kitchen. I have an extreme case of OCD, and this part of my experience was probably the single most important part of my happiness with the materials.
I also hit some bumps with the sink I chose. I wanted a large one, and purchased from Lowes, but unfortunately Heather called and told me that that the sink was too big to properly install in a granite countertop. Not their fault at all, and they caught it before cutting the materials or moving forward. Heather pointed me to a website where I could select a sink that would work for undermounting in a granite countertop.
Heather told me they would send me a template layout of my countertop, which they did. I did catch one mistake when they sent me the template. I had asked for a beveled finish and they had it down as eased finish. However, I called Heather and pointed that out, and she corrected it with no problems. I also asked if I could see the materials to choose the section of granite that would be cut out for my sink, and Heather sent me 2 digital images to choose from, allowing me to decide which way they would cut the granite. She even followed up with a phone call to confirm when I didn't respond to the email.
Today the men came to install the countertops. All I can say is WOW! They were professional, courteous and seemed to be just as thrilled as I was about the new countertops. I couldn't stay out of their way because I was just too excited, so I watched them from up close...... And the lead man just smiled at me and said "do you like them?" every time he made eye contact with me.
I was worried about seams, and how the pieces would go together. Well, that was a worry for nothing! The seam is almost invisible, and the pieces fit together so nicely.
I cannot say enough about how happy I am with my entire experience with Top South, from the beginning to the end. read more
