Here is a quick list of the resources we are using during our home construction/remodeling.

General Contractor
We used my old friend Nick Psyhogios and his company Examplary Builders. They did an excelent job. Their staff is very professional, curtious and gets the job done without cutting any corners.

Subject: Stone countertops and a free sink.

Just wanted to pass along a good source that Steve & I stumbled upon for kitchen countertops

This shop has 2 great guys that were incredibly helpful, they showed us lots of options & price points. Bring a floor plan of your kitchen and they can do a real quote for materials & installation. They are running a special – free under mounted kitchen sink with your order. They have about 6 ones to choose from – that alone could save you about $500.

Tell Ron & Charles that we sent you, I think they are the owners. Steve & I were just in there this week. For us they gave us 5 price’s for different colors that seem inline or less with going rates – but its nice to support the local small shop & get fabulous service.
