The granite installers cut the granite on both sides of the stove at
least an ich too short, so now the gap on the sides of the range are
bigger than they were with the old tile counters and I can see down the
unfinished sides of the cabinets.

Besides replacing the granite what can they do about that? The can't
add on to the granite without adding an ugly seam. What about adding
some kind of removeable decorative trim in these gaps on both sides of
the stove? I'd hate to delay finishing this for weeks while waiting
for new matching granite and having to redo the backsplash.
The backplash has already been partially installed. I had them delay
grouting the backplash until I'm sure these problems are fixed. If
there is no attractive fix to these gaps, the slabs will need to be
replaced and the backsplash partially redone.

One of the short slabs is seamed to an L connecting to another slab
with the new undermount sink in it. If they replace the short slab,
can it be cleanly removed and a new piece rejoined to the connecting
granite or will everything, including the other slab and installed
sink need to be replaced?


Is a top mount or a slide in? Is it stainless ? You might be able to have a
trim made of metal? stainless. It would have to look like part of the cook
top, that would the tricky part. This would have to be at there cost I would
also get a price on the granite. Another option would be a larger cook top
( most are a standard size) And they pay any additional cost. I'll bet they
measured the finished edge and forgot to deduct the over hang.
