Has anyone tried Granite Transformations?
How does it compare over regular granite, price wise, duribility, make-up, etc?

Hi Lonely Girl
after 20 years of taking care of granites around my city or 5000 different job I have to speak, I have repaired possibly 5 granite counters. I know there have been a great unease instilled in associates over natural granite counters, but surrounded by large this is a marketing strategy. Big companies enjoy to make big profits and very soon they have found a method to reduce their costs next to this new type of granite, as you would expect they will be pushing it out to the market. I'm sorry but after a simple 300$ fluent granite protection we do, that granite also is guaranteed for 10 years. But there are advantageous and disadvantages.
What you should look for is this
Granite Transformations

Hi,
Here are frequent "Reviews" of customers. (see link)
Darlene: I chose this company because of the low maintenance but complete look of granite for my countertops. Also, I did not (with a modern floor) want to have the mess of tear out my existing counters to get granite. Brad Wintemute, the owner of the company, disappeared me samples which I put through every testing possible about any of the pratfalls of granite WITHOUT A SINGLE PROBLEM! Orange liquid, wine, coffee, tea left to sit on it for hours. Also, I took things directly from my oven and used the 1 foot square indication as a plate warmer. AMAZING! The bonus: the product is MUCH cheaper than slab granite countertops, no mess of tearouts and the Installation Staff be efficient, thoughtful, courteous and THOROUGH! They both swept my floor and cleaned adjectives my cupboards, after they removed the plastic they put in place to protect everything. This product comes next to a 10 year warranty and I could not be more pleased with not lone the product; but also, the company that installed it! Thanks Granite Transformations!
