Granite By Rafael

I’m a General Contractor and these guys install all my countertops. They come to template and days later the install happens as if they built it in place I have never had a bad experience with them. No matter what kind of sink you have weather it’s a farm sink or an undermount they can help you out. No matter what the material or what edge profile you choose weather it’s granite, marble quartz or manufactured stone the quality is top notch. I really can’t say enough about this company.
I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone!

We had a beautiful but complicated piece of green granite. Francisco and his team did a fantastic job, but their work was not only high quality, but also ahead of schedule. We recommend them very highly, and without reservations.

great job to a low price

After visiting several local granite contractors & receiving estimates and timelines we were referred to Rafael. I was so happy to talk to someone who instantly made me feel like we met the person we were looking for. We were in the middle of a kitchen remodel and as most, did not look forward to templates being made after cabinet install to wait several weeks for counter tops. Rafael showed up the same day of cabinet install to make templates and fabricated and installed 6 days later! His price was very competitive and his work was superb. I met with Giovanni for layout and spoke with him even after install to discuss a matching granite window sill and he made the offer to take the time to drop what he was doing to come to the house while the tile was going in to measure and advise.
You could spend more money and wait longer if you decide to use anyone else in town for a product that I could not believe would turn out any nicer than what we received. We highly recommend Rafael and his team!

Excellent service, excellent installation, great turnaround, personable and reasonably priced.

Rafael is both a perfectionist and artist. His qualities flow to his employees. Before selecting a granite fabricator and installer, we learned that a fabricator’s granite saw greatly determined their capabilities. Out of curiosity, I researched saws online. Rafael showed me their programmable saw with tilting table. He said it cost about $ 60,000, which the online research confirmed. Rafael demands perfection and invested in a saw that could produce the best outcome.
Rafael’s employee, Giovanni consulted with us before cutting the granite. We described all of our preferences regarding the final outcome. Giovanni listened extremely well and produced exactly what we wanted. He delivered amazing results. The edging is absolutely perfect. His seams are a work of art. Either side of each of our two seams have patterns that flow together.
The granite we choose has a substantial amount of grain or flow, which increased the challenge. We are extremely pleased with the outcome. Also, the instillation completed when promised.

Excellent jOb

I am remiss for not writing a review sooner. Rafael is a doll. He has great taste and while he is the owner — he is also the artist/​installer.
He understands the concept of a budget– You will get great work whether the job is big or small. He has an interesting showroom that gave me great ideas for when I do have more $$$$. Rafael is very talented and very professional. Don’t let the location concern you as he is very close to the freeway. I love my wonderful counter and get tons if compliments. I can’t wait until I can install more of his work.

Installed my granite fireplace surround crooked and did not cut the hearth to the length that I specified. One of the bottom pieces of the surround was also a bit too short, but I let both cases slide since they weren’t off by very much (hearth was a couple inches shorter than I asked for and the surround piece was about a centimeter too short and caused a gap between it and the other pieces).
Also left one side of the surround improperly treated so that it is a different color than the rest of the surround. He explained that they forgot to apply a granite ager and that he would come back to fix it. It took multiple phone calls before he came back again to apply the first coat and he said he’d come back again to apply the second coat. After another month of calling and getting no response, I gave up.
Two stars since the surround looks great, if you don’t look too closely. Otherwise, it would be one star. Customer service was terrible and I wouldn’t trust them to do any precision work.
