We used one of their installers when we changed our kitchen around. They were fast, clean and did a great job.

we just had Ultimate Granite do our kitchen and baths. Very easy and reliable to deal with. Very happy with their work.

I can't tell you who to use but PLEASE don't use Wildwood Kitchen and Bath. We ended up winning in small claims court, writting a demand letter, making a judgement lein, and after 90 days from wining our case in small claims recieved our $ . If you don't need these issues stay away from WKB.

A friend of ours and we had Granite Solutions do our countertops. Fast, friendly and $3K lower than a quote from a place in Wildwood.

It’s worth a trip to Orlando to see the full slab of quartz. Seeing it as a full slab is a lot different than seeing a small sample.

You could probably save a trip with Ultimate Granite on Rolling Acres Rd., they claim to have 10,000 slabs in stock. In fact most other local fabricators buy their granite from Ultimate. They have a warehouse and a yard full of granite, you can see it through the fence, it's across from the Lady Lake Elementary School.

We used Doc's Restoration for our quartz countertops. There workers are meticulous and they guarantee any damage will be fixed.. other companies will not fix damages caused by the installers

Nixon Granite is going to install my quartz counters Wednesday. Several Villagers recommended. They do a lot of work here, and do not have to advertise.

I used Unami Granite of Orcala and paid twice as much as it would have been in California. They did a good job however I thought Florida would be less than California as real estate is far less expensive.

We used Stone Ricse for our Cambria Quartz last Dec 2019. Very satisfied.

Could you please supply the company and location in Tampa that you went to? We are getting ready to remodel our kitchen and are thinking of quartz. Thank you

Does Ultimate Granite also sell quartz?

We were also very pleased with them. Very professional and the install was perfect.

We used Burns Woodworking just up the road from Docs. We got 3 quotes and they varied tremendously. Price will depend on the grade of granite you choose. You can either pick one they have or go to the huge showroom in Ocala. They did high quality work and were the best value with awesome results.

Avoid Wildwood Kitchens and Bath, their prices are bizarre.

I used Stone Rise Quartz and Granite on 44. After seeing my USA made Cambria Quartz in my kitchen and baths, three of my friends had Stone Rise do theirs as well. Great people to work with!!

WE had Ultimate Granite remove our granite countertops and reinstall with quartz. Excellent job. A friend went with a cheaper alternative north on 441. Had to have them come back three times to fix their errors. Go with UG

We had new Cambria Quartz countertops installed in July by "Stone Rise" of Wildwood and Ocala. Prior to contracting we had checked with several area installers and found Stone Rise to be the best value for our money. They did a great job with the installation itself and kept us updated with each step of the job. In short, we are very satisfied.

We just replaced our bathroom countertops with Cambria Quartz. We went to Stone Rise in Ocala. The Ocala yard has a very good selection of Cambria. There is a problem that we are working to get remediated and Stone Rise is working with us. Our first project with Stone Rise (Ocala) went smoothly. The Cambria Quartz we bought was a remnant and we bought a package that had the quartz an undermount sink and a faucet. Then we decided to do our master bath which has a large counter top that required us to order a whole slab. We ordered the slab, had a layout appointment that went well. The stone was delivered as scheduled. We also ordered from Stone Rise two new undermount sinks and new faucets. All were installed. Stone Rise charges one price that includes the plumber where some other contractors we used required us to use an independent plumber. The problem we had was the Stone Rise plumber was on vacation so they used Tori plumbing and we ended up having a leak in the faucet. I called Stone Rise, there was no answer and we had water leaking so after waiting a day and several calls to Stone Rise I called Michael Scott plumbing. When Michael Scott plumbing was at my home I was able to get through to Stone Rise and talked to the manager James who told me not to have them do any work. I stopped the Michael Scott Plumber and he gave me a bill for $83.00. $65.00 for the visit and $15 for getting out of the truck and coming in to look at the sink. James, the Stone Rise manager, had their plumber come by who said their was a leak in the faucet. The faucet company would not replace the faucet unless they sent a representative to look at the sink. Their representative came out and said it was a plumber error., the plumber had not sealed the line correctly. Again the Stone Rise plumber came out he did some work and within the week we had water all over the cabinet. From what I could see it was the faucet not the plumbing lines. Now Stone Rise has said they will replace the faucet. Hopefully that will happen next week. A faulty faucet is not Stone Rises fault; it is the faucet manufacturer's fault but since we bought the package from Stone Rise they have worked with us to get this resolved. The only thing I feel is not fair is that when the faucet was leaking I did call Stone Rise to get assistance. They did not call me back and with water leaking I called a plumber. Stone Rise does not want to pay for that plumbing bill. They did agree to pay half and I am waiting to receive reimbursement for half of that bill. To me since I called them several times without any response what was I to do? I had leaking and water was coming into my cabinet from the sink. My original install date was October 23rd. As of today I still have leaking and hope that this will be resolved soon. I am glad that I did not buy each service separately because I would have had more problems trying to get the faucet replaced if I did not get support from Stone Rise. I was thinking about redoing my kitchen but at this point have decided against it. Having had these problems and having people in my house to try to fix it has been a headache. The Cambria Quartz is beautiful and the actual quartz layout, cut, and install was done professionally. But all this going back and forth with this leaking and the unexpected plumbing cost is not what I had envisioned.

Doc's Restorations did our kitchen about two years ago, including the Cambria quartz countertops. They did an outstanding job and we would certainly use them again. In fact, just last week we had a cabinet hinge stop closing, and I couldn't find a replacement on-line, so we went down to the Doc's showroom to ask if we could get one from them. They sent a tech out two days later to replace the hinge. Great customer service.

I agree with your comments regarding Wildwood Kitchen and Bath...We got four estimates for our quartz kitchen countertops, backsplash and barback. WKB was one of them. I loved their showroom, but anything good about the place ended there. Estimate was odd..it was not broken down..just a quick paragraph typed ( including a scratched off typo) with a final price. When questioned about this we were told it's done that way so other installers are unable to copy their estimates. Salesman appeared to be a little off...odd acting. We went with Burns and have been very happy.
