A smart way to remodel your bathroom countertops...

Are you spending lots of money on full slabs of granite when you only need a small piece? I hope not!!! Let me tell you about a smarter and better way, saving you tons of money.  What happens to most folks is that they buy a full slab of granite to remodel their bathroom countertops and end up using only about 1/4 of the slab. The secret is that companies who work with granite have a ton of left over pieces at their shops. In fact many pieces are being disposed of because there is just no room to store them. What typically happens is that a company will work on a kitchen or some sort of project and have granite left over that the customer doesn't want or need. What you can do is locate small granite businesses and ask them about their extra pieces. You can usually come up with a great bargain. Sometimes you may pay for the installation and get the material free or even at a very low cost around ($50-200) but of course it depends on the material you choose. So let me break it down for you... YOU can SAVE up to a $1000 dollars by going through a small granite company and getting just the size piece you need or you can pay over $1000's of dollars and only use about 1/4 of what you paid for.

Smaller granite companies vs. bigger corporation companies

Typically one who is searching to get their kitchen or bathroom remodeled with granite countertops tends to get sucked into bigger companies and corporations. The key is to find a smaller granite business. What you get with a smaller business is direct contact and more of a personal relationship. The person who comes to template your kitchen will usually be the one installing your kitchen.  This is a benefit to you because there is no lost communication. It's not where you tell one person what you want, who passes it on to the boss, who passes it to the fabricators, who pass it on to the installers and what you really wanted is misinterpreted. Another benefit working with a smaller company is that you are their most valued customer. Smaller companies usually work with one customer at a time. This means all their attention is on you during this period of time.
