When remodeling your Tyler home you will want to be sure and get the best price for your different remodeling jobs. One remodel that really makes your house transform into something completely different is upgrading your counter tops to granite. Some people will totally demo out their cabinets and replace them with custom cabinetry. Sometimes all that needs to be done is to add new updated doors. The counter however is almost never originally granite and so by removing an old outdated countertop that may be laminate or some other material and replacing it with granite you will be adding a lot of value to your Tyler homes equity.

You will want to get some ballpark figures on the cost of custom granite countertops. If you are not dealing with the right company they may try to take you for what they think they can get. For instance, just yesterday I was talking with a painter who was telling me about a contractor that was charging $5,000 for a small cabinet painting job that should have really been priced at around $2,000.

By getting bids from a few different granite countertop companies in Tyler TX you will save yourself a lot of money and avoid being taken by a dishonest home contractor. We would like to recommend a custom granite countertop company that is honest and ethical in their business dealings. They price right and will not try and take you for what they think they can get. You will get a quote based on how much the material costs and with industry standard labor costs added on. Hank Pruitt will not attempt to inflate your countertop prices and will educate you on the pricing costs and how the process works.

You Can Be Priced By The Foot or By The Slab

We had a very good experience working with Hank and we really liked how he explained the pricing of the granite countertops. For instance, the stock countertops are priced by the foot and are generally cheaper. The exotic granite slabs are priced by the slab and can be quite a bit more expensive depending on which one you choose. The best way to get an accurate prce on your granite countertop job is to go to the granite slab yard at US Granite and pick out the one you want. Hank will then price the job based on exotic are stock granite. We were able to get by with just two slabs of exotic granite without much left over. This allowed us to not have to spend too much because of a ton of left over material.

When they came over to install the counter tops I was surprised with just how heavy these things are. He had two guys with him to carry each piece into the house. They carefully navigated through the house without scratching the walls or appliances.

We recently used a granite counter top company in Tyler TX that was recommended to us by a custom cabinet maker. Mitch West with Cupboards Plus told us about Hank Pruitt and his 15 years experience in cutting, fashioning, and installing custom granite countertops for kitchens and bathrooms. We called up Hank Pruitt and he came over and measured our cabinets and gave us a quote a couple days later. He told us we could go over to U.S. Granite in Tyler and let them know that Hank Pruitt told us to come look at granite slabs as he would be using those slabs to make our countertops.

We went over to U.S. Granite and discovered they had a very wide selection of exotic and standard granite slabs to choose from. We decided to pick an exotic slab as they have more unique aspects to them than the standard ones available. We chose a very flowing granite slab that was green and gray. Once we told Hank about the slab we had picked out he was able to quote us a price. Each price is dependent on how big the slab is and how many slabs it will take to create your counter tops.

We were able to have our counter tops made with only two slabs but we almost needed 3. Hank Pruitt cut and polished our granite counter tops and installed them on our newly built custom cabinets. He also installed our under mount sink and cut out holes where our faucet and handles go. The whole job was precise and crafted exceptionally well. Hank has been doing granite counter tops going on 15 years now and really knows what he is doing. He is an affordable granite counter top company and can get you a quote that will be competitive without sacrificing on the quality of work that needs to be done.

We have nothing but good things to say about Hank and would like to recommend him as our preferred granite counter top contractor. We always recommend getting a few bids from local contractors but in the end we think you will find Hank to not only be affordable but someone with years of experience in the granite counter top cutting and installation business.
