Artisan Granite Countertops

Steve of Artisan Granite is 100% professional and did an excellent job on our bathroom project! He came highly recommended from a designer and patiently worked with us every step of the way. Communication and follow through were quick and effective, job expectations and cost were specific and transparent. We felt we were in good hands the whole way and are completely pleased with the final result! We would highly recommend Steve and Artisan Granite!

Artisan Granite had the best prices, and Steve was absolutely wonderful to work with! We were remodeling our kitchen and doing most of the work ourselves, including demo, and he was very willing to work with our schedule so that it could all get done at the right time! Would highly recommend him.

Steve worked his magic! I first met Steve when he came to my house to look at my kitchen so he could work up a bid for granite countertops. He showed up on time and was very professional. He made some excellent suggestions and I could tell immediately that he had a lot of experience, a great eye for detail and that he really knew what he was talking about. I received his bid a few days later and he was very competitive. One of the things I liked about Steve was that he was pretty much a turn-key operation. He had electricians on hand to help with hooking up a new cooktop that I decided to get, he had plumbers on hand to hook up my new sink and garbage disposal and he had craftsmen on hand to help with modifying the oven cabinet, as I decided to replace the oven as well. I have a very busy schedule and the fact that I did not need to seek out these different trades people on my own was very helpful. I ended up purchasing a new cooktop and kitchen vent and since it wasn’t too far out of his way, Steve was nice enough to pick these up for me and bring them to my house. Things like this made the job go very smooth. Steve also genuinely cared about the quality of his work. He took ownership and was involved with every aspect of the installation. He followed up both by email and/or phone and I was always able to stay in touch with him. I had two incidents that came up that caused me to have to delay the job that was in process. The first was that I needed some foundation work on my house and the engineer suggested that I hold off on installing the granite for at least 45 days as the house could still shift after the foundation work which might damage newly installed granite. The second incident was that I had to fly to Florida for an unexpected trip to help my Mother with some emergency surgery. For both incidents, Steve was very understanding and simply said take whatever time you need and we’ll complete the job when it’s convenient for you. He was very understanding of these delays that came up that were beyond my control. When my wife and I picked out some granite for our new countertops, Steve pointed out some flaws in the granite and suggested we not use those particular slabs. Although we were disappointed, Steve was helpful again as he took a considerable amount of his own personal time to go to other suppliers on our behalf to locate similar granite that we would be happy with. Once the granite was installed, Steve was very helpful with meeting us at the warehouse to pick out the tile and pattern that was just right for a new backsplash. He also had tile installers that he worked with that did an excellent job at a reasonable price and as a result, we’re very happy with our beautiful new backsplash. Another thing that was helpful with this installation was that with my being very busy with my work, Steve was very good about working around my schedule. I really appreciated his flexibility. The bottom line is that we couldn’t be more pleased with our beautiful new kitchen and Steve did an excellent job. I would recommend him in a heartbeat and the reality is that after his top notch job, I would not recommend anyone other than Steve L'Huillier of Artisan Granite Countertops for this type of work.

This was our second experience with Artisan Granite; in 2012 we hired them to fabricate and install a granite countertop for our wet bar. Because we were very pleased with the experience and the result, we hired them again for our much larger master bathroom project. Steve was not only helpful in advising us on the selection of the stone; he was also flexible and understanding when we changed our minds at the last minute about the particular granite we wanted. He promptly bought the slabs once we decided, and he held them in his workshop for weeks while we waited for the new cabinets to be made and installed for us. Steve recommended the cabinet maker, and we are delighted with the custom cabinets he made for us. The countertops were installed within a week after the cabinets were installed, and they look better than we ever imagined. The artistry in the fabrication is amazing -- the slabs were cut in huge pieces to maximize the flow of the stone. (Our previous countertops had more individual pieces, which were not matched up so perfectly.) And the back splash was carefully matched so that the different colored veins in the stone flow from the back splash to the countertop. The result is a beautiful, totally integrated, serene look. Steve also came to the rescue when problems developed with piping for the bathtub and the material underneath the tub once the old stone was removed. He singlehandedly redid the nest for the bathtub with new material, much more secure than it was before, and he hired a plumber who redid the plumbing for us. It was a good experience and an even better result.

We had the best experience with Artisan! From the consultative approach (not just order taking) to working hard to find the exact, perfect, right piece of granite for our kitchen - it was fabulous! I would hire again and again!

Steve at Artisan Granite is incredibly thorough and respectful. He came prepared, brought pictures and samples to look at for our kitchen remodel. He met us at the granite and tile place to help us choose just the right stone. His price was fair and the quality of the finished job was superb! I would highly recommend Artisan Granite to anyone looking for quality work, a fair price and a beautiful end result! (Note: cabinets had not been painted white yet when photos were taken).
