Sander & Sons

I called Sanders & Sons for a quote for HanStone counter tops. I knew the material, color, and color code. The job I needed performed would not use an entire slab – but I wanted to purchase an entire slab as I plan on refinishing a small bathroom.
In addition to calling Sanders & Sons, I called several providers. However, Sanders & Sons was the ONLY company unwilling to provide a quote – and also to charge what the gentleman over the phone called a «Slab Fee.» He explained to me that a slab fee was something they charge to all customers who do not use the entire slab. Sanders & Sons not only charge this fee – but they also keep the remainder of the product that is unused – and RESELL it themselves as remnants to other potential buyers.
I explained to the gentleman that I wanted to purchase an entire slab, for full price and keep the remaining remnant that I purchased for a future product – they declined and said that counter tops are a dangerous item and a liability.
So to summarize – and these prices are just hypothetical since they never would provide a quote:
Say an entire slab cost $ 1,000 but you only want to use ½ of the slab. They charge you the full $ 1,000 and then an additional $ 400 slab fee THEN keep the remaining remnant/​material to resell themselves for profit.
Not a single other counter top provider that I called had this policy/​charge.
I told the gentleman that I would write a review about this policy and he was upset and said my review was «unfair.» What is unfair is ripping off your clients.
I would shop around for yourself and see that no other provider charges a slab fee – and then retains your product.
