We asked Pete to bid on replacing the 25+ year old laminate countertops in our kitchen. They had…read moreheld up well, but were showing their age. We decided to go with laminate again due to its longterm durability, warm and slightly forgiving 'feel' ( especially as opposed to stone or tile), easy care, great new patterns and surfaces, period look (1948 ranch house) and relatively low cost. After examining our kitchen, Pete noted that he had probably installed our old countertops - perfect mitered edges and seams that never faltered over their long run. We got to talking about the durability of formica when it's treated well - no scorching pots, no cutting on the surface - and found out that over the past decades he has installed formica at many of the restaurants as well as doctors and dentists' offices (easy to clean and keep sanitary) around town. Turned out he had just worked on remodeling our periodontist's office and her countertops are beautiful and elegant. She gave him a sterling recommendation. His bid was about the same as others we received and we saw that his craftsmanship and attention to detail was clearly superior. He and his crew are professional and finished our project on time for the bid price. We are very happy with our new countertops. Highly recommended.

I'm not sure I have enough adjectives to describe everything positive about Ventura Stone. I…read moreentered the store with a small project and was enthused by the welcoming attitude I received from Mick. He patiently showed me every piece of stone suitable for my project. Then with no pressure whatsoever, gave me the time to go back through my options and find my perfect piece of Quartz. I've been told I tend to think things to death, so this was much appreciated. I made my selection and was scheduled for demolition and on-site measurements early the next week. Johnathan (demolition) and Daniel (measurements) arrived as scheduled on consecutive days. Both went off without a hitch. A few days later I received a text with photos of my slab layout for approval, immediately followed by a phone call from Joey who went over the project in detail. No issues. Fabrication was completed and installation was scheduled for early the following week. Tuesday to be exact. I was elated as this was exactly two weeks from the day I walked into the store. Jose and Mauricio arrive in the morning and finished the installation and clean-up before noon. I absolutely love my new double vanity countertop with the undermount sinks. I had to stop admiring it long enough to write this review. :-) From start to finish (Leanna), everyone I interacted with was friendly, patient, and committed to their piece of the puzzle. Kudos to everyone and thank you for making this painless. I will gladly recommend Ventura Stone to family, friends, and anyone who will listen.

The two gents that came to the condo, did a terrific job and were detailed oriented with all the pieces that needed to be installed. My only feedback is that, it would have been helpful for me to know what to expect with the dry stone dust created during the install. Had I known, I would have covered and protected more of the area the team had set up. It just meant I needed to spend half a day power washing the area. We have and do recommended Ventura Stone to others. Mahalo!

The ladies running the countertops and painting departments were really nice and got me scheduled for paint and countertops. I ended up hiring a painter before our painting appointment came. Countertop person came over to measure and he informed me that there would be a fee of $150 to get a quote. It was an automatic turn off. No other companies do this. It should have been mentioned before we even booked the appointment. He gave me a ballpark number that was at least 7k to 10k over the company I intend to use. Appointment was a waste of time.

The person answering the phone said she would make sure Daniel called me back but never did. I told them I wasn't expecting a freebie but they still wouldn't get back to me. My builder finally found someone who immediately came out, fixed it and told me it was installed incorrectly and was nearly to the point of falling down on its own.

They never once showed up when they said they would, sometimes hours late and sometimes days without notification. made nu attempts to reach them regarding scheduling and the lack of communication but no luck there. The latest is that the holes they cut for the electrical outlets are too small. I'm quite certain that there will be no response to my pleas about this issue so now I have to hire a costly electrician who may or may not have a solution for me. The whole fiasco was annoying and extremely frustrating and I would never recommend this business to anyone.

The problem doing this is that you must purchase a large slab, find someone to cut, finish, transport and install it. I saw The Top Shop's ad in the Lompoc Record and I went by to see if they had any remnants as I didn't need a very large piece. Greg was very accommodating and tolerant of my indecisiveness. He showed me what remnants he had that would meet my needs. Since I was having the fireplace retiled, I decided to use the same countertop material for the hearth too. He also knew someone who could do my tile work and they coordinated the project together. Greg and George do beautiful, precision work. I am so pleased with the outcome. The old hearth was terrible with chipped tile that had been painted and it wasn't level. Now I have a beautiful, sleek, level hearth with a matching countertop. The tile guy they recommended did a fabulous job. I highly recommend The Top Shop!
