Kitchen makeover Chicago style

[jules1993]

Hi Everyone,
I know the subject of granite has been discussed many times. But, as I am already planning on buying granite for my countertops, I wondered if any Chicago BB users might suggest somewhere in the area to get the granite. I know of Stone City but thought you might have other ideas. I am not planning on using the HD or other big box stores given my own experience and your stories.

Thanks so much.
Julie

I bought my granite countertop at Home Depot and had a great experience.
The one I liked was $89 a square foot but there was one that was on sale and I liked too and that was $49 a square foot.

I bought it and they installed and i had no problems.


I'm in boston so I don't have any advice on where you can go...did you do an online search for granite sales in chicago?

good luck

Don't know where you are in Chicagoland, but I've heard good things about Universal Granite (http://www.universalgranite.com/ugm_pages/default.aspx) in Naperville.

We used Great Indoors, but we were doing a lot of kitchen work at the time.

Thanks so much for your ideas. I will check out the Naperville store. Other ideas are still most welcome. Need to have a good gage of what is a reasonable price for the granite.
