My experience with Applegate's exceeded my expectations. They went above and beyond with helping me select countertop materials; they followed through with scheduled work; showed up on time; cleaned up work spaces beautifully. The clunky beige and country blue tiled counter tops that were in the kitchen transformed into sleek minimalist countertops with gorgeous and meticulously tiled backsplashes. I will be using Applegate's in the future for more projects. Thank you! Terri B read more

Appreciate Lyle coming through for my granite countertop repair. The elbow of my kitchen countertop basically broke off and I honestly thought It was going to have to replace the whole thing. Everything got repaired and leveled properly and new supports put in. I should've took a "before" picture because it doesn't really do the repair justice how bad the original installation was. Thank you Applegate Custom Countertops. read more

Applegate was very professional and honest. I definitely recommend you giving him a call.

For years I lived with my large white tile countertops with inch wide grout...which went all the way up to the cabinets. Now, I have beautiful granite countertops with subway tile backsplash ( very little grout and a lovely antique white that gleams)...I'm in heaven. Lyle and his people were all so pleasant, friendly, informative and cooperative. We also took Lyle's advice on a plumber and were very pleased. Lyle recommened a trip to the company that they get their granite from and we were glad we went. Not only does it look so different from the look on computer, but they give you samples that you can match up in person!! I've included two pictures....isn't it sooo pretty! Would definitely use this group again! read more

I loved working with the company. I know that when I was able to get my countertops done the industry was slammed so I appreciate Lyle being upfront about his timeline.

Lyle cane out to measure the area and offer a quote. We ended up changing our mind on the granite installation ONLY because we want to do the whole kitchen and couldn't afford it this year so we are postponing until next year, but there are on the top our list for next time. We talked to AZ tile and they highly recommend Lyle to get it done right. Thank you Lyle for being responsive Big Bear Lake read more

The granite from AZ tile was great. This review is a year old but there's been some stuff that I can't let go. My install was during spring break when the owner was gone. Not sure if that's part of the issue. Some details... during the install the tile guy was complaining about how fast he needed to do this job and how many he had to do. He also was telling another guy " this isn't my fault" when I asked what later he said the tile looks crooked but it's the build of the house not his fault... okay. I guess I'll just deal with it looking crooked. The installer didnt add edging around the tile backsplash but did around the window so that looks odd. He said he would have had to charge for it... wish I would have know when I set up the bid that it didn't include everything. They did not caulk the line between the tile and granite and now that's cracked all along the counters. They left the electrical out and touching so it burnt one of the switches and they were stuck together. They left a ton of residue from cutting stuff in our rocks out front and filled up both my trash cans (luckily the next day was trash day). They said they could save the cut outs as cutting boards but then the installers said that's not a thing. They did give me a couple but from a different granite. The tile setter also cut my screen on my window over my sink but ignored me when I mentioned it. They tried to do the install in a day and a half . I know cause the guy was complaining the whole time about needing to be in Barstow the next day for another job. So much grout was left unfinished that I had to call and ask for them to come back. He had to spend another 4 or 5 hours after he said he was done and I had to call and ask. Not sure if they were suppose to seal the tile grout but they didn't. Theres also still some glue that stained my carpet and after 2 deep cleanings still can't get out. There's probably more I'm forgetting but it's been a year. I was bummed because they were a higher bid but I was referred to them by someone I trusted who worked in the industry for years. So it's kind of a bummer. I wish I had asked more and been more pushy with basic stuff and covered ALL details. read more

We were really pleased with this company and the communication. Lyle is super ethical and easy to work with. We were keen to make sure our seams matched as we did both quartz backsplash and counters that continues a pattern. They were happy to work with us and be involved in the process of getting the result we wanted. His employees have been with him for a long time which says a lot. We can highly recommend them. read more

5 stars doesn't seem enough for the wonderful experience and job given by Lyle of Applegates. I had another quote from a vendor recommended to me by my realtor as I was new to the area of Lake Arrowhead and did not know anyone....I was totally astounded by the outrageous quote I was given and decided to trawl Yelp for a vendor. Thank God I did!!! I came across Applegates, read the reviews and decided to give them a call. Lyle is a true professional, an honest man who cares about giving his customer a fair and true quote for high quality work. He responded to my initial call promptly and came to my home asap to go over what I needed with a great sample choice for me to choose from. He pre demo'd my kitchen counter tops, for my painters and then returned once they had finished to install my new counters. My kitchen is transformed from the 1980's to a modern sleek kitchen of today. I could not be happier and highly recommend Lyle to anyone wanting a true professional, who takes pride in their work....and to top it all he's just a great guy! I will definitely be using Applegates for all my future counter and tile projects. A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ read more

I love it when a business is super nice to you even when you don't make a purchase. I'm an artist and I was looking for a small slab of polished stone to display my sculpture on. I called to inquire. They made a phone call, checked twice inventor and sent me back a picture! Also since it was a small piece they offered it for free. I wish more stores had this kind of courtesy. What a pleasure. read more

Great communication and scheduled as promised. I had a chip after installment on counter and it was fixed right away.

Beautiful job, Lyle was awesome to work with, very reliable, always on time, highly recommend this company.

We feel so fortunate to have come across this business in Yelp. From our first phone conversation to the installation, Lyle and his team were nothing but professional. He was able to come out right away for a consultation and quote, and best of all he was open minded to our non-traditional ideas. Lyle was able to recommend a countertop that perfectly suited our MidCentury Modern home, and had it installed in about 2 weeks. We are thrilled with the outcome and absolutely have nothing but good things to say about Applegate's. read more

I was looking to replace my laminate countertops. I looked up local countertop businesses in the high desert. Applegate countertops had a high rating. I see why... The customer service from start to finish was exemplary. Lyle and the crew answered questions right away. Along with my countertops I opted to get a new double sink. Lyle told me, he would include it l. The sink is also very nice and deeper than the one I had. I absolutely love, love, love my new countertops, sink, faucet. I would highly recommend Applegate's Custom Countertops. read more

I remodeled my kitchen, and was in need of new counter tops. Applegate's Custom Countertops were reffed to me by a close friend.

Wanted to take a moment to share the great experience I had with Lyle Applegate. He was extremely professional, friendly, fair and the quality of his work was first class. He actually did every he said he would do, on time and on budget - no surprises! I had a horrendous experience with a prior contractor and was a bit gun shy hiring another contractor for my countertop install. Lyle alleviated my anxiety with the amazing job he did for my kitchen. Lyle did what he said he would do and walk me through the entire process from beginning to end with my counters. All the five star ratings you see here on Yelp are the result of the quality, care and commitment of the quality of his work. I would refer him out to all my friends and family with no hesitation if they had a counter job. He's extremely good but most of all, you can trust him! read more

We just had Applegate put in new countertops in our kitchen. They turned out beautiful, and I've received many compliments on how well they pulled off the seam. Applegate was so easy to work with. Their communication skills were excellent responding quickly. I could really tell they cared and put a lot of effort into making sure we were happy with their work. They even bent over backwards to work within our timeline which was amazing! I would highly recommend them! Look no further....Applegate are the guys you want for your next project!! read more

Every employee at Applegate's Countertops is very nice and professional. They were very patient with us in figuring out what we wanted and on our timeline. The cost was reasonable . Our disappointment was in the attention to detail. After pointing out our issues, it was dismissed as just part of the natural granite. However, we didn't understand why the granite was cut so that the issue was right down the middle of our peninsula where your eye went right to it. We tried to give the benefit of the doubt that maybe that was the only way it could have been done, but no one could give us that answer. Additionally, there were a couple areas that had to be "fixed" and we are still waiting for them to come back to redo them. If I were to use them again, I would be more involved so I knew I was getting exactly what I wanted. read more

We had some customs counters done for our business in 2014. They were a special order and because of where they were installed on a previously built pony wall, Lyle had to spend extra time to make sure they were leveled. We then expanded a year later and recently opened another location where we used them again. Each time he shows up when he says he is going to, takes time in his measurements and will not leave until the job is perfect. Thanks for your awesome work Applegate's Custom Counters! read more

Lyle and his team of professionals offer unparalleled pricing and service. We were very happy with his work. Do yourself a favor and call him. read more

Our old counters were the cheapest option in a 90's built tract home, miles of cheap tile, stained grout crowned with an ugly formica edge. Lyle answered my email inquiry on a Sunday, and was available for an estimate the next day! I don't know if that's the norm, but I have never had a response for any kind of service that quickly. He showed up for our estimate appointment early and made quick work of measuring and answering our questions. I had new solid surface counters in my kitchen within 2 weeks at a cost substantially less than the big home improvement stores had quoted. Our old counters were ripped out and the new ones installed in one day. They are beautiful, and exactly what we asked for. Lyle is professional, skilled at what he does and just a really nice guy! read more

Lyle and his crew are professionals through and through ! We shopped around the big box stores and even had a couple of estimates done but we just saw the same old boring materials and weren't exactly comfortable with the estimators those stores sent out. I found Applegate custom countertops in Hesperia and gave them a call. I was sold on the professionalism Lyle displayed and his knowledge of the craft. Our new Countertops were installed in a matter of weeks and we selected the granite ourselves from the material yard. We are very happy with the craftsmanship and along the way we met a new friend in Lyle. When these guys say they will be there on a certain date, at a certain time, they are there and that goes a long way with me. I give these guys and Lyle a 10 ! Thank you Applegate ! read more

I am extremely happy with my new countertops. Before meeting with Lyle, I had met with many different businesses in the high desert and on the other side of the hill. Most of the businesses I had met with gave me a very poor impression. They gave me overpriced bids and most were trying to sell me pre-fabricated granite when I specifically said that I did not want that. When I met with Lyle, he listened to what I was looking for and had samples for me to choose from. The turn around time from the time we met for an estimate to getting our countertops was also great. His crew was very diligent when installing the product. They were able to install the product quickly without cutting any corners. I would HIGHLY recommend using Applegate's Custom Countertops. read more

We were tired of our old tile counters and started looking for a recommend professional to handle this job! Well were bless to get Applegate's! Very affordable if your on a budget.

We are adding a new bathroom to our home and had an idea of exactly what we wanted. Going into Applegate's for our consultation, they were incredibly friendly and helpful, being very mindful of what we were hoping to have as well as being mindful of our budget. That same attitude is what we experienced every step of the way with them. Scheduling a time for installation couldn't have gone smoother and fit perfectly into our timeline, and the installer was prompt, friendly and did an excellent job. It was truly the easiest experience from start to finish, and the finished product surpasses our expectations. We would recommend Lyle and his team in a heartbeat! Thank you all for everything you did for us and helping our new bathroom come together perfectly! read more
