Demand a new countertop cut properly. Did they take the measurements?
If so the fault is thiers and do not accept anything less than a proper
job. Why are you even considering settling for a hack job????? If a
family or friend is doing job for free thats one thing. Take pictures
contact management and firmly demand a new counter. If they refuse to
fix it dont sign or pay. If you sign or pay a court may construe you
approved of the job.

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?


I can't answer questions about construction. However, as a consumer -- and
knowing how much granite costs -- I would demand that it be done right
before paying anything. In my opinion, it would be better to put up with
delay and get a good job than to accept an inferior job just to get it done
fast.
