Suburban Marble & Granite

Suburban is your classic «over promise and under deliver» company. They claim expertise in all types of stone countertops yet the completely botched the fabrication of my soapstone counter tops. After researching the topic I learned that a typical mistake is for inexperienced fabricators to treat soapstone like granite — over polishing the stone and then applying a sealer — lots of postings on the web explaining this frustrating mistake. Suburban refuses to admit they did anything wrong, instead claiming that I ruined the stone by applying Dorado Soapstone Dry Wax — a product consisting of Walnut Oil, Bees Wax and Carnuba Oil and made specifically for soapstone. They can’t explain why the wax ruined the stone, but I guess it’s the best excuse they can come up with. Their proposed solution is for me to pay them $ 450 to have the stone resurfaced — so this 100% natural wax ruined the stone to the point of it needing resurfacing — does this seem logical? Unfortunately their VP of Customer Service Chirs McG* refuses to return my calls — he prefers email, which he also refuses to return. Do yourself a favor avoid this unethical business.

This morning, as I poured Chocolate Milk over my Cocoa Krispies, the little buggers crept out of the bowl and spilled all over my Dinosaur Eggs!
Suburban Marble & Granite has a Showroom with so many Slabs of Marble & Granite, in so many natural colors and patterns, it will blow your mind! Take a pen & tablet with you, so you can jot down those that you love or you will be retracing your steps, over & over again!
Since Marble & Granite is from the earth and hundreds of years old, no 2 slabs will be alike. I chose Red Marinace Granite for my Kitchen and a deep black sink that could bathe a 10 year old. The Granite has these colored, oval shaped stones all through it, like Dinosaur eggs. Pinks, whites, blacks, trust me, it’s awesome!
I chose the Green Marinace for my 9′ by 6 ’ Family Room Bar. Once you buy the slabs and you only pay for what you use, they reserve the rest of the slab for you, in case you want to use more of it, at a later time. Like I did, when I added on to my kitchen.
Have a rough measurement when you arrive, to know if the slabs they have will cover your job. Patterns are matched, so there is some waste. Before they start any job, they do come to your home to draw a rough draft and to take measurements. The best part about Granite & Marble, is that it will last longer than my house will! I did choose the Granite, because I was warned Marble will hold liquid stains.
I love the polished cold surfaces and the durability of the Granites that I chose. The Cold Stone is great for rolling out dough and the Dinosaur eggs make me and my Cocoa Krispies happy!
