Although we had a smaller project, they took the time to provide us with a quote promptly, offered reasonable pricing, and delivered great quality. During our first visit, we toured their showroom and were able to view the workshop where they store and prepare their pieces. It was a great experience from start to finish. Our pieces are beautiful, and their service was professional. I'm really happy to support good, authentic companies, and this is one that definitely deserves your business. Check them out!

I went to the Marble & Granite Tech in Barrington, looking for a remnant quartzite. I found the…read moreperfect piece. Since I didn't need it for several weeks, I was told they would tag it and hold it for me. After several weeks my sales person called and said that the piece that I selected was not big enough for the side splash. I returned to Marble and Granite and identified another piece that would work for the side splash. After several weeks, I called and said I was ready for somebody to come to my house and measure. Somebody from scheduling would call and set an appointment. They never called. After a month of waiting, they called and set up the appointment. Measurements were taken. After another month I received a call stating that there was an issue with the vein match. I returned to Marble and Granite. The remnant that they were showing me was different from the one that I had initially selected. They said "no this is the one you selected. I took a picture of the original and it was different. However, the second remnant was a good match. So, I went with that piece. Finally, after several weeks, they came to install. Everything looks great, until the clear calk dried. It looked like black mold was growing between the wall and the back splash. I sent a picture to my salesperson who turfed me to Tom. This guy was the most arrogant and insulting person that I have ever met. He said it was the backing that was showing. After going back and forth with him his suggestion was to paint it the same as the wall. Not an acceptable answer. After the clear silicone dried, I noticed that the edges on the entire counter top were jagged. I'm not a fabricator, but this looks like the blade was dull or they didn't take the time to polish it properly. I am very disappointed with the workmanship. I would never do business with Marble and Granite Tech.

Please take this into consideration, especially if you are installing a natural stone…read more Stephen was nice, but I cannot express how completely unsatisfied I am with his company. Our shower renovation was an absolute disaster. When they installed our marble floor and shower tile, it was visibly not sealed properly, as dark spots were visible on the tile where the water hit. We were told the tile was sealed 5 times and that it was the tile that was just porous. There was also excess grout on the tile that was sealed into the bathroom floor. Stephen also told us it was not necessary to move the shower valve from the bath height to shower height, which looks very weird now that the shower floor was raised 6 inches from where the tub was. 6 weeks later, black mold appeared all along the faces of the bottom row of shower tiles. Stephen came back to reseal it with a different sealer, and afterwards the entire shower had uneven coloring, with permanent dark drippy spots and wiping patterns. A marble specialist concluded that there is a moisture problem stemming from the initial installation of the tile, and there was likely a chemical reaction that occurred between them cleaning off the mold and applying the sealer the second time. His opinion is that it wouldn't be worth trying to salvage the tile. Even if he sanded down and refinished the tile there is no guarantee how far down the damage goes. Once we got the opinion of the marble specialist, Stephen has ignored my calls and emails and refuses to take responsibility for his mistakes. I would never recommend him to anyone.

If you're planning a kitchen or bathroom remodel, I can't recommend Top Shelf Cabinets enough…read more Like most homeowners, my wife and I started the process feeling pretty overwhelmed. Cabinet selection, layout decisions, functionality, design--it's a lot if you're not in the industry. Working with Marc and Matt made the entire experience far easier than we expected. They took the time to understand how our family actually uses the space and helped guide us toward a layout that made sense for our daily routine. Their recommendations balanced functionality with a modern, clean design that completely transformed our kitchen. What really stood out was their experience and guidance throughout the process. They weren't just selling cabinets--they were helping us make smart decisions about our home. That kind of expertise made a big difference and gave us confidence in the investment we were making. It's now been over 2 years since the remodel, and the quality has held up beautifully. Our kitchen cabinets are usually the first thing people notice when they walk into our home, and the kitchen has become one of our favorite spaces to spend time in. If you want quality cabinetry and a team that will genuinely guide you through the process, Top Shelf Cabinets is a great choice.

I had heard of a cabinet line online that offered a high gloss, flat slab, Euro-style kitchen line. I reached out via their website for a quote based on a cabinet layout I had already planned. Pricing seemed in line with other quotes I had gotten, so I went to see the cabinets in person. Unfortunately, that week that line's distributor let the company know they were discontinuing the white high gloss finish. Derek was very transparent about the situation and recommended against buying the cabinets in case anything went wrong, as they'd be hard to replace. He guided me in remaining available lines and what he would and wouldn't recommend. He quoted a framed flat slab cabinet that would work for my needs, and he even pointed me to a local company that he doesn't sell in his store, but knows was the type of cabinet I'd been looking for. Thank you for the honest and helpful customer service, Derek!

Designers Point Review…read more What a wonderful team!!! I started working with Karen & Dick in the fall of 2024. I wanted to take the time to design and find just the right finishes. I did have very strong ideas that may not be for everyone and Karen was able to adjust her design ethos to mine. So, Karen & Dick worked on design, Ed on construction and Dawna on financials. There are many more aspects of the project and people involved. The entire crew consisted of people who are masters at their craft. They were respectful of our time and our home. We were quoted 6-8 weeks for a full Kitchen remodel. 98% was done in 5 1/2 weeks. The budget was firm and detailed. Any changes made during the project were noted and costs were adjusted. No Surprises! I made the changes and the crew adjusted to the work. Make sure you know what you want. Speak up and they will work with you to find what works best for you.
