HANDY ANDY CARPET & GRANITE 

PROFESSIONAL FLOOR INSTALLERS

"YOUR BEST BET IS TO HIRE THE VET"

Here are some behind-the-scenes info no homeowner should be without:

1. Granite tops vary in price according to what color you want.

And then details such as edge selection, number of sink hole cuts,  add finishing and polishing labor, and backsplash sizes are extra - can affect the price dramatically.

2. Most places will give you a square-foot price.   -BEWARE OF THIS SCAM- There is no such thing as $10 Sq Ft whole slab granite....anywhere. 

The square foot price generally doesn't include all the "extras", like delivery charges & edge details, templating, installation, sealing the tops, adding backsplashes, adding a glossy finish, etc. And they may try to rope you into a color you don't like that's in their "bargain" program. Make sure you get the out-the-door price on the exact color and look you have selected.   NOTE:  HANDY ANDY will send you to the granite yards - to pick and sign off on your unique slab selection.

3. Make sure any granite vendor comes out and give you a FREE estimate on-site. (Even reputable places may not template for free, unless you're going ahead with the job, but they should at least take some measurements for free and visit with you).   If they are too busy to call at your home before the sale,  then what will there customer services be like after you have paid ?   Have you visited  the showroom?   How about performing a recent Google search for praise -or-complaints on the company.  These are notes from past consumers who were happy -or- unhappy and posted comment ratings on-line.

4. Ask the vendor to see some picture samples of their work.   You'd be shocked and disgusted by the poor installation job some places will do. Make sure the seams look tight and even (seams WILL be visible in granite no matter what, but you shouldn't have gaps in the seam, and the two sides of the seam should be perfectly level and smooth).  HANDY ANDY teams never settle for less.

5. My advise is to never, never, never go to Home Depot or Lowe's for granite tops. They are the joke of the industry. You  might be horrified by the quality you end up with. Mark my prophetic words, I've heard many customers sobbing in hysterics on the phone about these jokers. - Very sad.

6. Remember whatever city you live in... cheaper is NOT better... Go for a common sense rate.. Check the quality
