Granite Marble Direct was amazing to work with for our kitchen remodel. Alex and his team made sure…read morewe had a top notch experience. They kept true to their promises and were very timely with communication. They were considerate of our budget and made sure we knew what options we could afford.

They take pride in their work, bend over backwards to make sure you're happy and were very prompt. And they were reasonably priced to boot. Case in point: I thought they needed to drill the faucet hole bigger than originally done as didn't have the faucet specs yet. I called to see if they could help me and the owner Alex agreed to come out within a few hours to fix it. No hassle or charge for the request, he simply wanted to make it right. Would highly recommend them and we plan to use them again.

We were looking for a granite fabricator and found Distinctive Stone Interiors. Cannot say enough…read moregood things about them. Crystal was wonderful from the beginning. She gave us a list of places to go to pick a slab and we found what we wanted. She kept us informed with updates on installation, delivery and cost. Kurt (the owner) came out and measured and did the fabricating and installation. He was punctual, professional and great to work with. We would without hesitation recommend them to anyone needing countertops. Very happy to have found them :)

Just WOW. I had a truly outstanding customer service experience. No job is too small or too large…read morefor Distinctive Stone. No matter where you're coming from or what your project is, they will treat you seriously and with respect for you and for their own work. I can't afford to redo my whole counter at the moment, but I needed just a fairly small piece of stone--about 1.5 sq ft--for a countertop addition. Unlike a half dozen other companies I called they were responsive, accommodating, and very affordable. Even for my tiny project they discussed my needs in detail and suggested a necessary adjustment I would have overlooked. I am beyond grateful. Now I have a beautiful custom piece of stone putting the rest of my laminate counters to shame, and reminding me of who to call when I can afford to redo the rest... Their warehouse and workshop is open to the public, because why wouldn't you want to show off such excellent workmanship? They have all the options you could dream of, and all at unbeatable prices. Only 8 reviews? Don't sleep on these guys. Look no further for your stone needs.

We recently had Hansen's put in new countertops in both our kitchen and master bath. But, they did…read moreso much more than "just" countertops...new sinks and faucets, added cabinets, cut down a two-tiered counter section and moved electrical. Troy Hansen and his team were a pleasure to work with - professional, great communication, answered our many questions.

We are so pleased with the results - we HIGHLY recommend Hansen's Custom Countertops!

Just had the most gorgeous kitchen peninsula installed for WAY WAY less than I would have thought…read morepossible. The install was incredibly fast and incredibly through. Like, I told them they didn't have to re-attach the corbels under the overhang because I planned to paint them first, and they, without any prompting on my end, sanded the old glue off the backs of the corbels so they'd be easier for me to re-attach later! Where do you find service like that anymore?! Plus the warehouse staff went to incredible lengths to help me find just exactly the stone I wanted- and their remnants are HUGE so I could get much better stone than I should have been able to afford. Someday when I can fix up the horrible old vanity in the upstairs bathroom I'll be happy to return to these folks for it.

Kristiaan is, hands down, the best contractor you will find in the Twin Cities. My husband was…read morecatastrophically injured in an accident and we were told we need to move somewhere that can accommodate his wheelchair and other disability needs. Very expensive. When we reached out to Kristiaan to ask if he could help us remodel our kitchen, he not only agreed to give us a quote without charge, he also came to our house and taped out the entire design on the floor, no charge. None of the other contractors were willing to put in that kind of time and effort without a guarantee that they would get the job. Kristiaan not only worked with the IKEA plans we had designed, but he further figured out the engineering required to support the large, open span that we had to have suspended over my husband's wheelchair. Everything you see in the photos is brand new and done by Kristiaan. What you don't see is that, on the other side where we already had IKEA cabinets, he moved the entire cabinet run over and built a stabilized support for our new kitchen sink. He also worked with the countertop installers to get us the cutouts that we needed, and recommended the best outlet/lighting system for us. And when IKEA dropped the ball and failed to deliver the promised toekicks, Kristiaan developed a workaround and personally went to IKEA to pick them up for us. A good friend of mine who is a luxury home builder in the Twin Cities said that Kristiaan basically fulfilled the idea of "aging in place" that is extremely popular now. Instead of moving to a "senior" type development, hire Kristiaan instead to make over your current home into your dream home. Disability, aging, or other circumstances don't necessarily mean you have to leave the home you love. Thank you, Kristiaan, for your impeccable work and your incredible decency.

Would highly recommend Kristiaan with Avex Designs! We were able to transform a small southwest…read moreMinneapolis kitchen into an attractive and functional space. Kristiaan was very responsive via email and a huge help in the design process given his knowledge of Ikea's products - we felt very prepared placing our order whereas others in the showroom seemed lost. This is a more cost effective way to remodel, but is not the same as using a general contractor i.e. you have to manage timing in your project for electrical, plumbing, counters, paint. Our installation was timely, professional, and they kept a clean workspace. Great company!
