We purchased a granite countertop for our new bathroom vanity from a home improvement center and didn't expect anything but basic service. HUGE surprise. We have never been so impressed with a company as we are with GMD Surfaces. They called to set the measurement appointment. The man came out right on time. Did his work and even took time to answer my questions. Within two weeks GMD called back to set the installation date. Two men came out and within 35 minutes the countertop was installed, grouted, and all debris removed. The countertop is beautiful and sets off the bathroom perfectly. We have plans for the kitchen, and I can't wait to deal with GMD direct. You can't go wrong with this company. Mike and Sharon Burke read more

Modena GMD is horrible. While in the showroom, Omar said project would take 2 weeks. 7 weeks later it was complete after they lost our invoice and had to come out and measure twice. I spoke with Klaudia and she asked me why I waited until the end to bring this to her attention. Rude, disorganized, and they do not care about the customers time. I would NOT recommend GMD of Mokena to perform any job at my home. Very disappointed read more

Bathroom counter installed today. Had a slight glitch. After the crew left, one of the clips fell off of one of the sinks. I called and the crew was sent back immediately to fix it. read more

From the start, Helen in sales has been a valuable source of information and then our project manager to deliver our counters. The price was reasonable, the steps she outlined were the expected steps, and the installation ran accordingly. The installation crew was professional, early, and did a fantastic job They also recommended a plumber who was flexible and worked with us. All in all, it was a professional job, and we love the results read more

The Granite & Marble Depot did an excellent job on removing my old counter tops and replacing them with the new ones. The office staff, the person measuring the counter top, and the installers were completely helpful and professional. Cassie in the office was fantastic, very accommodating, and responsive. My old counter tops were black laminate and I was looking to upgrade to a material and color that would lighten and modernize my kitchen. Their pricing was in line, if not a little less expensive, then the other two places from which I obtained quotes and their selection of colors and types of material were expansive. I also purchased the under mount sink to match the counter top coloring and the matching accessories. When I discovered two matching strainer baskets were ordered, instead of one strainer and one flange for the garbage disposal, they quickly refunded me the cost, once I returned it to their office. Definitely be cognitive of the depth of your current sink versus the new under mount sink, if you have a garbage disposal since the electrical of your garbage disposal may need to be rerouted. This is not the company's fault but something I did not think of at the time of purchase. Just so you are aware, it does take approximately 1 month from choosing what you want in the showroom to the final install. This is not an unusual amount of time for this type of project. Just thought some people might like to know this information for planning purposes. I highly recommend The Granite & Marble Depot and would definitely do business with them again! read more

Had a new kitchen counter installed and it looks beautiful. Lisa was so helpful with everything. Everyone was so nice and professional from start to finish. Excellent job and would highly recommend GMD!!! read more

I have worked with this business for every granite or quartz install. I caution you now if you consider working with them as I feel their sales staff has gone downhill. This last job which was a big one lacked a ton of communication. I never received a formal bid until after it was installed. Then, I had to call SEVERAL times and many times the phone calls were not returned. There was also miscommunication on their end via email telling me one thing and then stating they couldn't do it after. The installers were wonderful, but the sales team is NOT GOOD. Beware. read more

GMD has completed three granite projects for me in the past 6 yrs. They have a great selection of granite!! I have been able to find some really unique pieces there. Most recently they completed an outdoor bar top for me. It turned out beautifully and you can't tell there is a seam! Highly recommend this shop! read more

I am so happy with my countertops that I purchased at granite and marble depot Inc. The sales person Helen Horton was very helpful. And the measuring and installation was very precise and professional. I will mention the name of this company to everyone that is interested in countertops. read more

After less than one year and paying $8000.00 for new granite tops I needed 1/4" of my top cut as a service call . You see I bought a new range and it did not fit because the top was a 1/4 " to long. After 3 calls I got to talk to the boss Omar. He was very busy and wondered why I was upset. Well his office to me I would get a call back after my 1st and 2nd calls. At 4pm I got Omar who said no service. He got a year ago , so forget a bout. This small business man forgot about customer service. read more

Unfortunately I cannot recommend GMD. The first sign of trouble came early on in in the process when my contact at GMD abruptly quit. I was assigned to to a new salesperson and was assured everything would be OK. When the time came to measure, the person they sent to my home was rude,argumentative and combative. I had to ask him to leave he was so aggressive. As it was near the holidays, I had to wait to speak to the owner Omar. He assured me he would send his best person to measure. The next guy who came out was pleasant ;but he could not understand the online dimensions of my stove and had to come out another time. Omar blamed me and said he would be forced to charge me if they had to measure again. The day finally came when I could look at the stone layout in person. In reviewing the stone layout,I noticed a large chunk of stone filler in one of my pieces. Coleen denied this and tried to convince me it was a part of the natural stone. Luckily ,someone else was there who confirmed it was,indeed,filler. We were able to change the layout;but at this point my confidence was more than shaken ; but I had already given a deposit on my slabs and was stuck. On the day of install, I tried my best to watch everything they were doing. Unfortunately, I did not watch close enough because my faucet hole was drilled too close to the backsplash. I have a clearance so small you cannot even get a q-tip behind it. Although my sink is large, there was easily 1/4 of an inch to have the hole drilled closer. In addition,one of the larger pieces of my stone has a large man-made gash in it. Instead of apologizing and accepting responsibility for these mistakes, I was repeatedly lied to and given excuses. "Your sink is too too large,it's not our fault." "That is a natural variation in the stone. It is not man-made. It is not our fault". Luckily, it is easy to document with photographic evidence which I have included. read more

We shopped around to about 6-7 places before coming to GMD. Diane K was an absolute pleasure to work with. She took me out to their warehouse and showed me the slabs of quartz. Something the other Lincolnway area stores could not do or did not do for us. She ended up beating the competitors price as well. The measuring guy, Dale, was so nice and great to work with. The two installers were polite, clean, quiet and did an amazing job. Diane followed up with me on more than one occasion, always professional and friendly and on top of her game. I highly recommend GMD. What a breath of fresh air to work with a reputable company. Thank you!!! read more

I renovated my kitchen. The cabinets and island were slow to arrive. The Granite and Marble Depot kept in touch the whole time without me initiating it. Scheduling was easy. They were friendly, professional and knew what they were doing when it was installed. I have been pleased about the whole experience with this company. Great job in all areas!! (So happy to have it done the way I wanted. Yippee!) read more

I shopped around several places and a friend recommended GMD. I worked with a gentleman named Ronnie Re'. He was very knowledgeable and worked with my time line. I purchased over 100 square feet of Quartz and there isn't any seam lines, which other companies told me they need to put seams. I highly highly recommend this company, they are clean, they beat all competitor prices and great to work with. read more

I was charged for square footage for a sink cutout on top of being charged hundreds for the labor for the actual cutout. I spoke to the office manager (I believe her name was Nicole) about rectifying the issue, and she very rudely assured me that the owner Omar would give me a call to talk about the situation. A few days passed, no call. I called for a status update and was lied to again. So I visited their office, not once but twice, and was again dealt with rudely and lied to. Their customer service and office management is horrendous. Not worth the headache. read more

This company is a sub contractor for cabinets to go . They were tasked to fabricate and install countertop. They sent out there measuring crew which at the time explained that they might have to put a seam at the sink . Which the client and Myself said no seams . There isn't a need for one . This is not a large countertop.They called the customer to tell her they are going to charge an additional 250.00 to have the correct amount of people to install the countertop. Talking to the installers today they always send out two people . So hidden up charge for no apparent reason. Showed up today to install the countertop and looking at the blueprints they had in relation to the actual counter top they were off by and 1/8. To which I was told and 1/8 isn't anything . Though paying 2500.00 for a countertop you figured it would . What happened is it pushes the sink off center of the above cabinet. Their blueprint calls for 45 " in reality it's 45 1/8. The final kill shot and lack of installer quality is they offset the faucet by more then 3/4 . Which in enclosed pictures shows the faucet looking horrible. I was given every excuse possible. The sink was in the way which it isn't . I was told " they offset them all the time " . Yeah he sink being a 60/40 they are all like that. They need 1 1/2" around the edge were clearly they held it 1 13/16 in one spot . They remedy to this is to uninstall take it back to the shop plug the hole and re install. Timeline is 3 weeks . So customer has to wait 3 weeks for them to correct something they had nothing to do with . Paid their hidden fees . This a shame lack of customer support , failure of quality. Buyer beware this company will up charge you and does poor quality. They had to trim stone at the house cause the stove wouldn't fit . Seems as if they are just winging it in the hopes that the consumer won't realize . read more

Klaudia did a great job helping us with our slab and we love our new kitchen counter. Fabian and Jose did a great job installing and Omar called the same day to make sure everything went smooth. Not only did they provide same day service, but Francisco (their secret weapon) can fix anything and he came right out to fix a bit chunk that was chipped out that missed by installers. Francisco did such an amazing job, we couldn't even tell where the missing piece was. It's the after service that is as important as the original install, in my opinion. Omar is very responsive and kudos to him for his prompt reply to my emails. Will be back next year for bathroom remodel. read more

I have had Granite Depot several times and was recommended by my daughter Cheryl. I cannot tell you how wonderful they are. Their price was below competitors They were polite and neat as a pin. Omar the owner has been a delight to work with. I am now having them do my bath. Can't say enough nice things about them. Just learned my son is now using him for a second time. read more

Be cautious ... 1st off great installers - meticulous ... then just ok price ... but the front of the house was one of the most unpleasant experiences. No call backs, tried to change install date, paperwork was wrong ... tried to purchase a follow on piece - no call backs again ... Finally missed the promised date and time - so I just cancelled ... Too many places want our money - be cautious, the follow up is all on you! ... re: Glaubke fireplace read more

We have been working on our kitchen renovation since April and were rushing to finish before our son's graduation party (August). We had priced and talked to 4 companies back in May, GMD being one of them. We goofed and didn't follow through with our first choice (based on price as they were about 400-500 less than GMD) and they were unable to do the job in the time frame we needed. We went to GMD on a Sat, explained our situation to Omar and Claudia, and they were able to work us into their schedule. The measuring man, Enis, took his time and did a very thorough job. I called the office and stopped in to see the layout on the granite. I was always treated nicely, got helpful service (Tracy in the office is another one we worked with), and truly love the final look of the granite. My husband (who is VERY picky) says he feels this install is better than most he has seen. I would not hesitate to recommend. read more

Highly recommend. I have a few friends whose kitchens I just love and Granite and Marble Depot did them both. My Naperville friend worked with their Aurora location and my Flossmoor friend worked with their Mokena location. Both of their granite kitchen countertops are simply stunning. Then while planning my kitchen remodel my designer recommended none other that The Granite and Marble Depot and had me stop in their showroom in Mokena to view their selection. It was tremendous....literally hundreds of colors of granite to choose from.....so many more than other countertop and kitchen stores. Fell in love with some stainless open kitchen shelving too after seeing the kitchen on the cover of Chicago Interior Design Magazine....and it was their kitchen. read more

We were given two slabs to choose from and took samples home. We picked one and had the measurements done, We didn't hear back from them and after repeated unreturned phone calls, we were told the slab was too small and that we would need to pick another one. Don't bother with this place- it is a waste of time. We should have known when we couldn't get a return phone call that they don't care about their customers. read more

Price is right but not worth all the extra stress and hassle! Had to make so many phone calls and multiple trips because their employees are incompetent. They said a slab was big enough, so we ordered appliances and a new sink to get a phone call the day before they were supposed to be delivered saying she messed up and it won't fit. Not worth all the extra chaos that comes along with it. Completely disappointed. Ended up speaking with Omar the owner who was just as little help as the initial employee. Take your business elsewhere. read more

We love our new granite counter tops and are VERY happy with our choice of Granite and Marble Depot. This was our first time doing a kitchen renovation and were worried it would be a difficult and over-budget process so are completely relieved to have had such a great experience. We shopped around quite a bit and found the best price - and service - was at GMD. From the moment we stepped into the showroom and met Sammy, our friendly and helpful design consultant, it was nothing but a very pleasant experience. She patiently answered a lot of questions, returned calls promptly, estimated the job correctly, ordered a special sink for us, and arranged for measurements and installation in a timely manner. Dale, who came out to take measurements prior to installation, was right on time, professional, and a knowledgeable resource for even more questions. Mark and Peter, the installers, were also prompt and professional and perfectly installed the new sink and counters. Our kitchen is gorgeous thanks to the team at GMD!!! read more

After shopping around, we found GMD to not only offer the best price, but the whole process was a breeze! The sales staff was polite, understanding and very patient in working through our design questions and process understanding. Their install crews are top notch and clean! We never expected not only to save money, but time in our kitchen remodeling efforts. Special thanks to Jeannette at The Granite & Marble Depot of Mokena. We will be back for our next tile and countertop adventure. read more

Great place to buy granite. If you have ever bought it before, you should know it can be a bit of a painful process. Thankfully, these guys made it easy and are extremely helpful. They have a wide variety of choices and other options (edges, sinks, etc.), and take the time to make sure they get it right. read more

I just had my kitchen counters replaced with a beautiful white and gray quartz. I have a very challenging schedule and Diane was able to work with me and my crazy timeframe. The pricing was good as well as the products. The installers showed up as scheduled and while installing the countertops they noticed a difference in the coloring of one of the pieces. They immediately called Granite & Marble Depot and sent a picture. They agreed that the colors were not matching enough (I have to say it was close but not perfect). Knowing that I had a very tight schedule with other contractors, they were able to make another piece that was perfect and return that evening to finish the job! I am truly appreciative of that attention to detail as well as customer service. Bravo to this business for caring about the customer and the end result. This seems to be harder to find every day. I highly recommend. read more

Before you put your hard earned money down for the Granite and Marble Depot of Mokena, Il. to fabricate and install your granite countertops please be aware that you will be at their mercy from the minute they have your non-refundable down payment! Had I had the chance, I would have dismissed GMD immediately! I have never dealt with such rude, inept, abrasive and dishonest people! Read the GMD contract very closely and change anything beforehand with which you do not agree! I highly suggest that you write in a work completion date with consequences if not fulfilled!!! We dealt with three different salespeople because the company abruptly switched our salesperson contact without our knowledge. Each new salesperson needed to go over the entire order as if it were the first day we walked in to the store. Our installation date was delayed by days and weeks with each new salesperson. Communication was poor at best. No returned calls and email communication unanswered for days. The measurer who came into our home was so combative and abrasive I could not hold a conversation with him! I read on another review site that a customer named Scott actually had to kicked this same measurer out of his home! The last salesperson we dealt with actually instructed us to go home and measure the area ourselves and call her back with the measurements! When we went to finalized the slab layout the measurements were incorrect! Luckily my husband caught the mistake. Although it was highly unusual for the customer to double check home measurements we did as she asked. When we called her with the measurements we took she responded very rudely and actually yelled at us over the phone!!! When we complained to Omar the salesperson called us threatened to postpone our installation date for yet another two weeks! In the contract, it states that GMD will not install countertops unless appliances are in place. I questioned this practice since it is a highly unusual request barring they will be swinging around hundreds of pounds of stone over brand new appliances! The salesperson assured us that GMD would be responsible and replace if they damaged any appliances. The installers were a breath of fresh air! They were respectful and courteous. Unfortunately, they had a mishap and damaged my brand new $1400.00 Kitchaide black stainless steel dishwasher!!! They knew they damaged it! They even apologized for the damage! My husband contacted the salesperson, Colleen to discuss replacement of said appliance. Immediately, Colleen said that the installers told her they actually saw the damage on the dishwasher when they arrived at my home BEFORE they installed the granite! So now we were dealing with either Colleen lying or the installers lying!!! Either way, Colleen's behavior that day with my husband was far from businesslike or apologetic! Colleen actually suggested that my husband was the one being dishonest!!! Well, by the Grace of God I have actual photographic proof that my dishwasher was undamaged as the rolled in the granite piece! Everyone was unaware I had this photo. We allowed Colleen the time and space for her outright rudeness and accusations! When she finished, I informed her of the photographs. We immediately left a voicemail message with the owner, Omar, to inform him of the damaged appliance. We also let him know that he employs rude, dishonest, un-businesslike people at GMD. When we did not receive a return call I sent Omar a text message with the photos. Still no response! Later that night I received a response from Omar he said that it was "too late in the evening for him to deal with this matter!" After three long days with no response from Omar we contacted the BBB. Be aware, Granite and Marble Depot's "A- rating" is not from their Mokena location. The BBB averages in all affiliated stores ratings and posts just one rating for all locations. The Mokena location has the lowest rating according to the BBB personnel. I simply could not, nor would I recommend GMD of Mokena to anyone searching for a respectful, reliable, honest, timely, professional granite and marble fabricator! read more

We are currently remodeling our kitchen and ordered countertops from this company. We were told to call when our cabinets were installed. We did and we're told it would be at least a week before they could come out and measure. Irritating, but it's supposedly the best they can do. Then they call my husband a few days later and say they can schedule us for Wednesday between 9 and 10. I sat at home, missing work, and nobody ever showed up. When my husband called them they denied calling us. He sent the lady a photo of his call log proving that someone from this company had called him. No one in the office would admit to it. They are supposed to be here on Friday. Hopefully they will be here a 8:30 sharp because I've already missed work for no reason. I would appreciate if someone from this company would admit to screwing up and calling my husband because obviously someone did. If I like the finished product I may add another star, but right now I am very unhappy. read more

We received a flyer in the mail from The Granite & Marble Depot featuring granite countertops starting at $35 (sq ft) and decided to check it out. We went to the shop (they had 3 colors at this price) and had them come out to take measurements and give us a price. They also had printed on their flyer "PRICE MATCH GUARANTEE" - which I asked about when we were in the office and met with Omar Chahin (owner). Omar said YES, they will match any price. OK, so we got their price and then got a flyer from Precision Stone with granite at $25 (sq ft), had them come to measure, got written price (which was much lower than Omar at The Granite & Marble Depot). I gave competitor's price to Omar and said "OK, match this price." Omar said he can't afford to match that price (despite his written and verbal guarantee). So, this is consumer fraud, right? Don't bother with Omar and Granite & Marble Depot, call Precision Stone in Schaumburg (312-427-8663) and they will come out with better price. read more
