Unfortunately our experience with this company was less than desired, what I thought was going to be a smooth sailing operation quickly fell into a horror show. Our cabinets were first delivered on November 16, 2021 we noticed that there was damage to an already installed base cabinet, which was unable to be removed. We immediately contacted the manufacturer and Granite Kitchen studio. The only way to correct this was to rip the base cabinet out, damaging the floor and other cabinet in the process or replace the side panel. We waited for the replacement side panel. Countertops were measured and a discrepancy was seen, so the owner Ahmed came to correct it with the laser. He explained there was a 1/4 of an inch discrepancy in the system and that when installing the countertops, the installers would need to cut into the concrete backer board. He stated this would be no problem and to not worry. We thought wow, this is great service and he is taking pride in his work, informing the customer. Flash forward to the countertop install, they could not cut into the backer board and proceeded to slam the piece of quartz countertop on the cabinets, causing the back end of the lazy-susan base to splinter upward, making the countertop be higher at one end. Afterwards, they stated that the carpenter did not level the cabinets properly which is why the countertop did not fit. They also found that the countertop was too long and needed to be cut 1/4 of an inch, so they proceeded to grind the quartz countertop 2.5-3 feet from our 2019 Ram 1500 pickup, rather than on the grass located to the immediate right of the door. It did not occur to me when watching them that the "dust" would have pieces of shards flying backwards toward the truck. On November 30, 2021 when this happened Ahmed was very respectful and serious regarding the matter and stated he would speak to his installers immediately to hear what happened and reach out to my husband the following day. My husband had to reach out to Ahmed and he had a whole new demeanor than from the previous day. No apologetic demeanor and instead said, "No harm no foul, my guys are professionals". Once damage was confirmed, my husband and I had track down Ahmed repeatedly to address the issue of scratches and damage to the clearcoat of our vehicle. Finally addressing the issue over the course of a month, Ahmed told me to not be so emotional regarding the damage to the truck and to think of him as a father figure and learn from his past mistakes of getting upset. Be grateful for your family's health and brand-new kitchen. Now never once did I raise my voice nor be disrespectful to any of his employees, yet Ahmed just told me I am "The worst customer" Ahmed has ever had (01/13/22). To be labeled this is just uncalled for. **★★★★★ — April & Will Dunn, Dec. 2016** > Awesome no pressure full-service environment! Everyone was great to work with from start to finish! We thought we were 'saving' money going to a discount store - but ultimately ended up returning a purchase from another store and couldn't be happier! Granite & Kitchen Studio worked with us to meet our budget, style and functional needs all while guiding us through through the options to get us a kitchen that simply stands out as a custom build for us. **★★★★★ — Joan & Bob Ritsick, Dec. 2016** > Amazing! We went to Granite & Kitchen Studio to look at granite slabs for our kitchen countertops.We ended up having our kitchen designed and installed by them. > The experience we had working with Achmed,Devon,and Rachael was great.There was no pressure,just honest talk about our needs,concerns,expectations and budget.Our questions were always answered and we were kept informed throughout the design and construction process.The demo,plumbing,electrical,carpentry,and tile installation was well coordinated. > The best part of this experience was that the final product exceded our expectations.Our kitchen is truly a functional work of art. **★★★★★ — Chris Mickey, Sept. 2016** > Recently we decided to update the kitchen in our home. Our house was built in the mid-80's and the kitchen showed its age. Working with Rachel Fauteux was a pleasure. She was truly understanding to the daunting task of selecting the stone of which the countertop would be made from, to assisting in selecting a complimentary tile for use in the backsplash. Ahmed and Devon were equally helpful in making this whole project seamless from concept through completion. I am truly pleased with the skill and craftsmanship of the entire team and I would recommend Granite and Kitchen Studio to anyone who asked. **★★★★★ — Jim Rolland, Aug. 2016** > From start to finish, Ahmed, Rachel and everyone was more than helpful, informative and professional. They had a vast assortment to choose from. This was our last hope for a counter top, having struck out at many other places, and we found what we wanted and they came thru for us better than we had hoped. We would recommend them to anyone who asks (and we have). **★★★★★ — jmjuly, Sept. 2015** > Ahmed and his staff Devon and Rachel are true proffessionals. I am in the process of having my kitchen and downstairs renovated and picked Granite Kitchen Studios to help me design my kitchen . Ahmed is the owner and architect and has been readily available to come to my home and give his expert advice . I will be getting my kitchen put in a couple of weeks so I will let you know the results. ## Selected projects - [Calacatta Sienna - All white!](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/calacatta-sienna-all-white-pj-vj~7210203) - Location: South Windsor, CT - Photos: 7 - [Calacatta Roma and Marlow Desert Tile Backsplash](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/calacatta-roma-and-marlow-desert-tile-backsplash-pj-vj~7198412) - Location: Colchester, CT - Photos: 4 - [Brown Fantasy beach home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brown-fantasy-beach-home-pj-vj~7195880) - Location: East Lyme, CT - Photos: 2 - [Full renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/full-renovation-pj-vj~7191101) - Location: Ellington, CT - Photos: 9 - [Thunder White Granite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/thunder-white-granite-pj-vj~7176797) - Location: Vernon, CT - Photos: 4 - [Storm in the night](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/storm-in-the-night-pj-vj~7176794) - Location: Mansfield, CT - Photos: 2 - [Calacatta Fantasy and Sienna](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/calacatta-fantasy-and-sienna-pj-vj~7176791) - Location: Manchester, CT - Photos: 3 - [Mesabi Countertops, Marble tile, Fabuwood cabinetry](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mesabi-countertops-marble-tile-fabuwood-cabinetry-pj-vj~7176782) - Location: Somers, CT - Photos: 3 - [Calacatta Florence Before & After](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/calacatta-florence-before-and-after-pj-vj~7162815) - Location: Vernon, CT - Photos: 2 - [Calacatta Sienna](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/calacatta-sienna-pj-vj~7157948) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Typhoon Bordeaux](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/typhoon-bordeaux-pj-vj~7157925) - Location: South Windsor, CT - Photos: 4 - [Calacatta Fantasy](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/calacatta-fantasy-pj-vj~7116633) - Location: West Hartford, CT - Photos: 9 - [Quartz Countertops](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/quartz-countertops-pj-vj~7152191) - Location: Glastonbury, CT - Photos: 2 - [Calacatta Roma](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/calacatta-roma-pj-vj~7152189) - Location: Somers, CT - Photos: 3 - [Gray Mist](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gray-mist-pj-vj~7140151) - Location: East Windsor, CT - Photos: 2 - [Bradshaw By Cambria](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bradshaw-by-cambria-pj-vj~7129079) - Location: Coventry, CT - Photos: 5 - [Blanco Statuarietto](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/blanco-statuarietto-pj-vj~7123344) - Location: Andover, CT - Photos: 4 - [Lennon Granite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lennon-granite-pj-vj~7116635) - Location: South Windsor, CT - Photos: 2 - [Brown Fantasy Polished](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brown-fantasy-polished-pj-vj~7105767) - Location: Bloomfield, CT - Photos: 2 - [Valle Nevado Countertops](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/valle-nevado-countertops-pj-vj~7069355) - Location: East Haddam, CT - Photos: 6 - Description: Valle Nevado Granite Countertops!
