Default Granite countertops are a beautiful, durable and cost competitive solution for kitchens

More importantly, the material is only a small part of the job. There are a
thousand guys around who think they are going to get rich by selling precut,
prepolished granite countertops.

999 of them will screw up the install with lousy seams, gaps along the walls,
sinks hanging, etc. Waiting 8-12 weeks for the original material to be sent from
overseas, followed by another 8-12 weeks for the reworked material to show up
that no longer matches the original is always fun.
