Is there a standard for installing under mount sinks in a granite
counter? The company who created the counter top cut the hole for the
sink about 1/4 inch larger than the sink opening all the way around so
that, when looking down from above, we see 1/4 inch of the stainless
steel sink.

The guy who measured for the counter top didn't mention any options or
give any choices. Our neighbor has a granite counter and her sink is
flush.
When you had the cutout made for the sink, you had two options. One
was a flush opening with the sidewalls of the sink, and the other is a
recessed one. It sounds like you have the recessed option. I would
hope you were consulted as to which one you wanted, for it is too late now.

I will call the sink manufacturer to see what they say, but was
curious if there was a good reason to install it this way.

Do we have a valid complaint here? This is NOT what we were
expecting.

Thanks!
