countertops | Mama Cormier

…I left off with the cabinets arriving on Nov. 26

When the cabinets were dropped off the truck left and we were left with a kitchen full of boxes. The installers were scheduled to start the next day. Unfortunately they were delayed at another job. The new date for installation was Thursday afternoon or Friday.

When the installers hadn’t arrived by 3:00 on Thursday we assumed that they weren’t coming. We were, however, mistaken because at 4:00 they came and worked for 4 hours. They returned the next day to complete the installation.

The next step was to add the countertops. Unfortunately the granite that we selected was sitting in British Columbia and was held up because of the ferry strike. We scrambled to choose another design and luckily they had a very similar piece in stock in the city. The good news was that it was cheaper and we saved almost $1000.00.

The installer came on December 4th to take measurements and two days later the countertops arrived and they finished the job in one day.
