Report
I purchased stone and was invoiced by the square foot yet the material fell far short of covering the stated area. The stone was cut and uniform so there was no reason. They even admitted that the stone was cut too thick. My guess is that they estimated the square footage based on the tonnage and missed due to the stone being thicker than it should have been. Even though they discounted the stone we needed, it still gouged me for another $4,500. I will never purchase from them again.
