Slow to give me a quote for granite countertops. The place on 64 in sycamore gave better service and pricing.

We recently had a new countertop installed in our kitchen. We had researched quartz counters and even priced them at two other stores. One of the stores sent out an estimater to look at the project and he told us it would be a complicated install and we needed to have a carpenter remove the old tops and re-level our cabinets before they would even think about installing the new counter. We went to Delano's and checked with them and they sent someone out the next day to measure.
They looked at our cabinets and said they could install the counter without any problem. Within ten days, our old counter was removed and our new counter was installed the same day. The counter install went smoothly and looked beautiful. We were extremely pleased with the service.
