The Granite Guys

From the first time I walked into their store until the quartz counter tops were installed I had…read morenothing but a stellar experience. The salesman was very helpful and gave me a tour of their facilities to pick out the stone. The installation guys were polite and efficient. The new countertops are perfect. One critique I might make would be that any staff that answers the phone be a bit more professional and state company name but hey not something I stress about. I asked a ton of questions and bugged the heck out of the install crew and everyone was very patient with me adding to a great end result.

Very disappointed. I went to see The Granite Guys in Calgary on February 10, 2025 about a small…read morebasement bathroom granite counter-top project. The counter-top fabrication was to be a rectangle of 75.5" long by 22.25" wide with a hole to accommodate an undermount sink. A pretty simple job. They sent me their standard form 2-page Contract ("Natural Stone/Quartz Fabrication Residential Agreement"). The first page contained name, location, contact details (name, address, phone), the Invoice/Job number and the pricing information, and the second page contained the scope of work information, and contract terms and conditions. The second page required two initials and a customer signature. It had already been electronically signed by an agent of the Company. On February 12, 2025, I signed the contract and paid the required 50% deposit. The three pillars of formation of a legal and binding contract were in place: their Offer, my Acceptance; and Consideration (a payment of money). Then on February 21, they sent me another 5-page document ("The ABC's of Countertop Installation") and said that they could not proceed with my project until I signed that document. I read it thoroughly, and there were things in there that were completely irrelevant to my project, and at least three things that were not acceptable to me because they could change the contract scope, price and quality. Some of them I agreed with, some I marked as not relevant and others that I objected to. I spent a few hours drafting a response to each and every point in the "ABC's" document and returned my comments to them on February 23. I received an email from them stating that they would not proceed with my job unless I signed (initialled) the document. I told them I could not sign it as-is, and was told that I should go somewhere else, because they were not going to do my job. I was shocked and insulted. They were effectively saying that they were breaching the contract and they didn't care. It is important to note that the Contract and the "ABC's" are two different and separate documents. The Contract is clearly marked as Page 1 and Page 2. The "ABC's" document does not have numbered pages, and is just a loose set of bullet points. There is no mention of the "ABC's" anywhere in the Contract. On Friday February 28, I received a call from Mr. Filipe Cabrales, who identified himself as one of the owners of the Company. Although we spent about 20 minutes on the phone, he could not understand that the two documents are different and separate, and that the "ABC's" were not a part of the Contract. I recommended that he seek legal assistance before closing the door on our Contract, because his Company was going into Breach of Contract. He remained firm, and at one point, he told me that he felt that I was wasting his time and that even being on the phone with me was "costing him money". My biggest concern at that point was their failure to understand the basics of contracts. We then exchanged emails to confirm our perspectives. On March 5, 2025, The Granite Guys returned the full amount of my 50% deposit, and the full-size template that I had prepared and delivered to them on February 12. I then had to find another supplier for my project, and that turned out to be the best part! I found a local competitor of theirs who gave me a quote that was ~15% cheaper, their personnel and installation crew were excellent, and the project was completed professionally and quickly. I don't recommend The Granite Guys based on my experience in dealing with them. (p.s., I am keeping all of the correspondence with them, just in case). I don't trust that they will be honest if they reply to my review.

What can I say, I just love shopping at Timbertown. This despite the fact that we rarely get out…read moreof the store without dropping some big $$$ but at least it is planned and budgeted around a renovation. The staff know their stuff and will work with you on measurements and ordering to ensure you aren't left short or break the bank and buy way too much. Keep in mind you can returned unopened boxes as well. They have a nice simple display set out so you can easily see what they have to offer for hardwood, engineered, laminates and cork. What isn't in stock at the store can be available within a few days . Often faster than you may be ready for! They also have a good supply of trim, doors and vents. I like to shop here for a couple of reasons. 1-It's a Bowness business and I like to support Bowness. This is a neighborhood that has had a lot of challenges with flooding and for some the perception of being the "hood". Well I think its a great hood and I want to support its local businesses. 2-The staff know their stuff and they always offer helpful tips on install not to mention throwing a 10% discount in on orders over a certain $$. It may not seem like much but hey its 10% I don't gotta pay so I'll take it and say thank you. 3 - the quality of their products and a great offering of Canadian hardwood. You may get a great deal on an Asian imported wood but nothing beats Canadian products in this dry as a desert climate we call Alberta. Not to mention uniform lengths and widths. Not saying there isn't awesome stuff out of the USA but hey, support our Canadian lumber market please!

I highly recommend TimberTown. I've never even heard of the store until a few days ago. I needed a…read morespecific door replaced with a very limited time frame and no other store could help me. I went and spoke with Ryan at TimberTown and he was awesome. He set me up no problem and had the door ready for me the next morning! The door fit perfectly and had it up in no time. You guys definitely have a repeat customer here!
