European Wholesale Countertops

European just completed the install of my «satin»
finished «Golden Crystal» granite kitchen counter tops. They did a terrific job on the layout, install and seam. Can you see the seam? Thank you Kitchen designer «Vijay» of the #CarmelMountainHimeDepot for the referral!

I ordered granite countertops through Home Depot, to be installed by European, and it was an awful experience.
Although counters are supposed to be installed in 7 days, they quoted me a month bc of the holidays. I immediately signed off on a slab. 3 weeks later, after having no scheduling or measuring I finally got to Mario, the owner of the company, who told me they made a mistake and forgot to pick up the slab and it would be 3 more weeks.
When the measurer came, he didn’t measure out what I had paid for, missing the backsplash, and blamed it on me for signing off on the measurements.
However, I didn’t find this out until the counters were actually installed bc Mario failed to let either Home Depot or I know that what was estimated and paid for was was not measured installed. AND that it was my fault and would be another month to install just the backsplash. As of 3 months after order, I am still trying to fight European to get a refund
NEVER use this company, their owner is extremely rude to customers, will lie and say he made no mistakes. On more than one occasion I have had to provide his invoices/​estimates to Home Depot to prove I was right bc he refused to provide it to them directly.

We just finished our kitchen remodel and chose European Countertops for our counters and backsplash. We couldn’t be happier with the job they’ve done! From the beginning, Jamie was very helpful and responsive helping us find the right top. Everyone, from the scheduler to the templater to the installers, was a pleasure to meet and work with to get the job done. After installation, I was happy that Jamie followed up with us and re-​sent out installers just to make sure everything was perfect and to our liking. Definitely 5 stars!

We had our Silestone kitchen countertop installed by European (they are certified Silestone installers) and I was very impressed throughout the entire project. Jamie was super patient and responsive to every request we had, a thorough joy to work with. The installers Anthony and Matt, both perfectionists, did a masterful job and we just love the way everything turned out, especially the waterfall on the island. I liked their open communication and kept us informed on every little obstacle they encountered and seeked our approval on how to tackle them. They cleaned up so well after, they left our place cleaner than before they showed up! European also promptly activated the warranty with Cosentino and we received the warranty paperwork in the mail within a week after the install. We’ve worked with many different contractors in the past and this shop ranks among the best.

I am in the process of getting counters replaced in my kitchen. I have zero experience choosing counters and knowing how the process works. I am working with European Wholesale Countertops through Home Depot and I could not be more pleased.
They are patient, informative, responsive and so incredibly helpful!
We have a weird corner in our kitchen that they were able to get creative and come up with a solution for. We also changed the order last minute (what a pain in the butt we are!) and they updated the order to accommodate us.
The gentleman who also came to measure everything was very informative and walked us through the process.
I will post another review once the counters are installed but we will absolutely use them in the future and would reccommend them to anyone!

I just had my new Granite countertops installed by European. I am so glad I decided to stop by the Home Depot one sunday morning. I brought my layout and measurements, and the Home Depot representative said «Why don’t you just allow us to come and do a free measurement? I’ll sent the guy over» When «Mario» came 2 days after that, not only was he patient, courteous, knowledgeable and professional… but he brought boxes of samples of Granite and Quartz. Samples in my home made a BIG difference. With his patience, and finally our decision on color (he never looked at his watch), he gave us a quote that was much MUCH lower than our budget and even other quotes I had previously received. Plus, the work is backed and guaranteed by the Home Depot. The service by Mario was fantastic and he and James kept me informed about time frames, and expected install date (s). They were both always in communication with me over 3 weeks. I also liked that for this project, I was being charged by the «square foot» and not by the slab, so I was only paying what I needed. It saved me money. Also, Home Depot includes a lot of basic finishes as part of the cost, so it saves you $$ unless you want fancier finishes, colors, or edges that you want to pay more for. Other places charge by the item, not them.
Finally finally, the day came. The 2-​man crew with «Enrique» was fantastic. These guys did their job so good, they were on time, right on schedule and I even received a call telling me they were on their way. European also pre-​scheduled the plumbing disconnects on schedule before the crew would arrive. During the install, I could tell that Enrique was very skilled in the measurements he had to use and be precise, he was patient before every cut and fit. Enrique and his partner were just great. Eventually they brought a 3^rd person to join the crew and come and help them with the heavier piece. Its as if they were perfectly coordinating scheduling, crew accomodations, and floaters to go help at other sites as and when needed. When he was done, he was shuttled to another site. That was brilling coordination of manpower and crew needed. After 8 hours of drilling, sawing, noise, and dust… Enrique was finally done putting the final touches. Not only did my countertops looked beatiful, but Enrique made sure that I was 100% satisfied and he would NOT leave until such. My kitchen had a 180-​degree makeover in one day. I will always recommend Home Depot Santee /​European Countertops. Try them first, and you will NOT regret it.

We just had our new countertops put in. They look amazing. Ricky was the lead installer and he and his guys did some great work. Jaime Martinez was our sales assistant and she was really helpful in helping us make the right decisions. I would recommend European to anyone that is looking for a professional company to install countertops.

Overall a good experience. The price was competitive after some negotiating. The sales team was prompt with a quote & very responsive. The man who came to measure was accurate & even took his shoes off in my home. The installers were great. Very courteous, especially to my 2 year old daughter. The installation took about 2.5 hours for a new bathroom vanity. Did one of the best construction crew clean ups I’ve seen. The schedulers are the reason European didn’t get that 5^th star for going above and beyond. One scheduler transposed a few digits in my phone number (after successfully calling me once) and didn’t think to email me instead. So I had no idea what time the measurer was going to show up until I contacted European myself the day before. Similar with the install time. No timeframe until about 4p the day before the install. Also, I had emailed right after the measure to see if they could install 2 days earlier and they didn’t even acknowledge the request. Again, it was a good experience — just not 5 stars great/​perfect/​the best ever!

I worked with Nina F. to select the perfect counter tops for our kitchen remodel. She was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, great to work with. She was patient and I never felt pressured. The measuring and installation crews were great. I would recommend Nina and European Wholesale Counter tops without hesitation.

I was looking for a specific LG quartz counter top that I could not find anywhere except the big retailers that were overpriced. I went to all of the direct wholesellers in Miramar but the didn’t have what I wanted. Anyways, I went on Unilocal and found European Wholesale and decided to walk in and check it out. Jaime helped me and I told her what I was looking for and she had it available to order. That night she emailed me a breakdown of what everything would cost so I could choose what I wanted and what I didn’t want. Everything went smooth and I felt very comfortable working with Jamie and the communication was excellent. Install and final product was exactly what I hoped for and my expectations are very high. Pricing was better that I expected and overall I would recommend European Countertops to anyone that wants a professional job done right.

Another well job and great services from start to finish!
Nina F. was very courteous and patient walking me thru the whole stone selection and installation. Tamra was so good providing the most thorough coordination and scheduling beyond my expectation. The whole time I felt that I made the best decision hiring European Granite for my kitchen remodel.
Both granite countertop and backsplash installation in December 2014 was done perfectly in place. Stone fabrication was cleverly setup by David where the most marble surface was part of the kitchen show case as requested.
We are very pleased with the team at European Granite and would recommended to family and friends. Very grateful,
Debbie V M

We having nothing but good things to report about our experience with European.
Working with Jamie Gold (Jamie Gold Kitchen and Bath Designers) we were able to get our hands on the latest and greatest product coming out of Italy, Dekton: a combination of concrete and quartz which is both extremely tough and beautiful.
At the last minute, we decided to add another countertop to our order. Our liaison (also a Jamie) at European walked us through the stone yard in Santee pointing out our best options. This facilitated the decision making process enormously. We were in and out within an hour. Turn around time was one week (something our designer had never experienced in a decade of designing kitchens).
Tamara, in the scheduling department, kept us up-​to-​the-​minute on the installation crew’s arrival time. The crew arrived on time and did a first rate job. The foreman was unhappy with the way two of the pieces were fitting so, one very large piece was taken back to the yard to be recut. It came back later that day and by 5:30 the entire job was finished.
For variety of materials, manufacturing, installation and customer service, European can’t be beat!

We worked with European Wholesale during our kitchen remodeling. We were extremely impressed with the quality of the service, responsibility and professionalism of European Wholesale and their staff. From the start to the end, they provided excellent service and did their part perfectly. More importantly, they were responsible in all aspects of the job and not just their part.
Within our remodeling project through Home Depot, our granite kitchen counter top was subcontracted to two companies. One sold the granite and European was subcontracted to cut and install the granite. We experienced problems with the company who sold us the granite. However, European did everything possible in their power to make up for the time lost due to the errors of the company who sold us the granite. European rearranged their schedules to get the new granite, cut and install it on time the day before Thanksgiving.
Because of European’s exemplary service, we were able to have a functioning kitchen during Thanksgiving. In addition, if it was not for European’s responsibility and careful detailed review, we would not know the defects of the first granite that was delivered by the seller and address the problems.
We thank European’s staff: Mario, James, Russell and the team who came and installed our counter top on that day. We wished that we knew about European before and we would purchase the granite from European at the beginning. We will certainly use European for any future remodeling project.

I just got new quartz countertops in my kitchen. I was going to go with Home Depot, which sub-​contracts with European, but then I decided to go ahead and call European directly. They did everything Home Depot would do (except for free financing) for a couple hundred dollars less. So if you can afford to pay without a long financing plan, definitely go through European direct. The customer service was excellent — they were great about receiving my descriptions of what I wanted by email, the guy who came out to inspect and measure was friendly and professional, the scheduler was very prompt and communicated with me clearly, and the installers, who came out today, did a fantastic job. Their supervisor even came by, just to check on the work, chat with me for a while, and make sure everything was as it should be.
It was a simple job, but it was done well, professionally, and for a great price.
Also — whereas Home Depot had only scraps on the wall of the quartz color I wanted, when I came out to European’s showroom, they not only let me look at the slabs, they gave me a couple sample squares to take home.

We just worked with European Stone for our remodeling in our kitchen. The granite counters and the backsplash were done with perfection! Not only did Pete Jr. make sure we were 100% satisfied, but he helped us through the design process when we were stuck and needing the best solution.
The crew was amazing with their professionalism and eye for detail. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to go with them!
I’ll post pictures of our completed kitchen soon! But here is the work from Pete Jr. and team.

European supplied the granite we purchased from a chain home improvement store, we were treated very well by all the employees and specifically Mario! The entire process was excellent and I couldn’t have asked for better service and value. Install team was very nice and professional, granite came out just beautiful! Very happy with this company and will definately see them again for future projects!
House is still a work in progress, will update photos in a week once we are moved in!

Three installers spent 8 hours installing my new Atlantis Silestone quartz countertops yesterday and I couldn’t be happier with the product or the installation. I have many odd angles in my kitchen and they took their time making sure every piece fit perfectly. They were also very careful not to cause any damage to my brand new cherry cabinets or to the walls. I purchased directly from European Wholesale on the recommendation of my sister-​in-​law, who also has beautiful countertops purchased and installed by EWC, and my experience was excellent from start to finish. We are planning bathroom remodels in the near future and I will use them again.

I so much wanted to give these guys 5 stars, but I just can’t. First of all, let me say that the stonework & installation was beautiful. Now, for the flunkies doing the heavy lifting… FAIL! They really tore the crap out of my walls & new cabinets. I tell them «hey, when you come upstairs, watch the chandelier,» and less than a minute later «ka-​ching.» Really?
Maybe if you were to habla ingles, you would have understood me since I couldn’t have been anymore specific, or maybe pay attention to what you are doing instead of yammering on in the not-​english language about what you did last night, or maybe you just don’t give a rat. Either way, that’s really pretty inexcusable, because these guys are not cheap.
The stonework was great and professional, but tearing up my walls carrying the stone in is definitely amateur all the way.

I’ve been weekend warrioring my kitchen and living room remodel for a couple months and the one part that I wasn’t going to attempt myself was granite countertops. I ordered mine through Home Depot who came in at close to $ 400 cheaper than either Lowes or another installer, which was a good start :)
I haven’t done this expensive of a remodel and due to the nature of the work, I was a bit nervous (you don’t get two tries with stone if you decide you don’t like the color/​cut).
It took about a week from ordering from HD for the guy to come measure, and about a week after that for the measurements to come back, then I chose my stone slab and it took about 2 weeks to have it fabricated and the installers came yesterday. about a month all told which wasn’t too bad for me.
The installers came yesterday and they were prompt, courteous, cleaned up after their work, friendly. Everything you would ask for in a contractor. On top of that they spent the extra time to make sure everything on the subsurface was as good as it could be. I installed some corbels for an overhang and a couple of them were a little higher than level with the font of the counter, they identified this issue and lowered them for me so everything was straight and level.
They finished the work quickly, cleaned up, asked if I had any questions and provided some use and care guidelines and were gone! Everything was great and I am very happy.
Thanks EWC!

We hired European to do our bathroom remodel and some upgrades to our home. The service was top-​notch and we loved all of the choices and different selections they offered us in making our remodeling decisions. We are so happy with our new bathroom and the quality and professionalism of this company and their entire team:-) We would highly recommend European Wholesale and their team for any new home or remodeling design project!
