One star is better than they earned. They seemed nice and capable when they came to bid our project…read morebut that changed very quickly! This is the seventh renovation/project we have done and their work was the absolute terrible; they used the wrong brick so it does not match our existing brick, they did not grade one of the two patios correctly, every plant they transplanted died including the 6 they threw away. Further, they are condescending and no matter what was agreed to they will deny it and say you are lying or misunderstood. We did not realize we should have gotten every single conversation in writing. They were hired to put in two small patios- one on either side of an existing walk way, stairs across one patio and a platform for our ceramic grill. They started the job a couple of days late, complained that we had to get the area treated for termites since "everybody else just uses bait stations here", even though they were told about the treatment before they bid the job since we had a termite issue last year. They were to match the brick and pattern as the front porch and outdoor fireplace in the back next to the new patios- they did not. We told them the brick was wrong before they laid it but we were told "it was it just had to weather and let the chemicals leach out." We repeated our concern four time and was told something different every time. The second time I talked to Richard Fister about the brick being wrong I was alone; he had come to our house at 6:45 without letting me know. As I was expressing my concern about the brick asking if they had taken a brick to compare before ordering like the other contractors that provided quotes he said "his wife was going through menopause and maybe that is happening to me and I should go in the house and have a glass of wine." While they laid the brick in the same pattern they used the face not the side like all of our other brick so it is clear that it is different even if they had matched the brick. We hired a graphic designer for the area- not one of the specs was accurate- one side is wider than the other, the cubby openings are smaller and the workstation platforms are 2" taller than the design because Richard Fister, the owner told Lucas Fister, his son who also over saw the project "it would look better" however they didn't bother to speak with us until it was too late to fix. Lucas Fister said it was hard to do because of the cinder block. The designer specifically pointed out that her dimensions and spacing took into account the sizing of cmu blocks which is just a cinder block. As stated, all plants and shrubs that were not thrown away died because they did not transplant with a root ball or plant correctly, the wind would literally blow the plants over. When we told Richard Fister his response was "well the guys really just didn't want to transplant them." Then why charge us $650 to transplant them?? Once they died, he said "well sorry that isn't guaranteed." Even for the 6 thrown away. At the end they wanted an additional 2K+, when we asked for invoices, Lucas Fister became irate and verbally aggressive. He was asked to leave our property; we have never had anything like this ever happened to us so unsettling to say the least. We had to install additional cameras in the back of our house for security. Richard Fister was there and said he would finish the punch list which included an enormous amount of mortar at the side of the stairs, wholes all in our yard where they moved plants, landscape lighting wire that had been cut in several places, drip lines cut, paint on the siding of our house and column repair. He has agreed to come four different times and canceled each time the day of. We have not heard from them in a month and assume they will not be back to complete the punch list. I cannot stress how much you should stay away from these people, especially if you live on Daniel Island or Dunes West (I assume any nice neighborhood would get the same reaction) which Lucas Fister made sure to let us know we are all "broke" people.

Greg and Kay listened to what I was looking for and took me right to the quartz slabs that matched my vision. Their granite, marble & quartz are very high quality, very reasonably priced and have a quick turnaround in getting the templates made, fabricated in house and installed. I can't recommend Greg and Kay enough for being so patient with me and making this such an easy process. Choosing new countertops can be very stressful but they certainly made it easy, and they have definitely earned my business for life! Thank you so much Universal Marble & Granite. Michelle G

Exceptional Quality, Professional Service, and a Stunning…read moreFinal Result I cannot say enough great things about my experience with Universal Marble & Granite regarding my quartz countertops. From the very first consultation to the final installation, the entire process exceeded my expectations in every possible way. Greg Hoffman and his team demonstrated true professionalism - punctual, friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to what I wanted for my space. During the selection process, they took the time to explain different quartz options, color variations, edge profiles, and maintenance tips, which made me feel confident in my decision. They never rushed me and genuinely cared about helping me choose something that fit both my style and budget. The showroom was well-organized, and the staff was patient as I evaluated multiple samples and asked more questions than I can count. Once I placed my order, communication remained excellent. I received updates at every stage- templating, fabrication, delivery and installation - so I always knew what to expect. The installers arrived on time, treated my home with care, and worked with impressive precision. Watching them fit each piece perfectly to match the grain was like watching true craftsmanship in action. The finished countertops are absolutely stunning!! The quartz has transformed my kitchen / bathroom into a space that feels modern, clean, and high-end! The seams are practically invisible, the polish is flawless, and the quality is obvious the moment you step into the room. Friends and family have already commented on how beautiful everything looks, and I honestly couldn't agree more! What really sets Universal Marble & Granite apart, though, is the pride they take in their work. It's rare to find a business that combines exceptional products with such a committed, customer-first approach. I truly feel like they went above and beyond to ensure I was happy every step of the way. If you are considering a hard-surface counter-top, I wholeheartedly recommend Universal Marble & Granite . They deliver top-tier materials, expert craftsmanship, and outstanding customer service. A solid five-star plus experience from beginning to end!!
