We’ll now move on to the most popular type of countertop material: manmade stone. Manmade stone has come a long way since it was first introduced on the market.

In the first post of this two-part blog series, we began the discussion of why we decline business. We’re tackling this sensitive subject by the horns to give more insight into what happens behind the scenes in the remodeling industry. It’s a touchy subject as when we buy something we never expect to be rejected by the seller. However, there are instances where businesses need to filter potential customers to be successful.
