Looking for some reccomendations as to where some of you guys have purchased granite counters. Any good/bad feedback from local places? I have only briefly looked at Home Depot Lowes(my mom uses Buffalo Granite). Go ahead and post some you like! Also anyone know someone local that cleans roof stains/moss? Roof is only 6yrs old and this happens to all the houses on the street because of the shade/trees. Thanks! ---

We used Italian Marble and Granite for our marble counter tops at work. They did a great job and even helped up cut and move them when we rearranged the store a few years later.

Talked to one roof cleaner business that said they will clean the roof and treat it with a solution with zinc and guarantee protection for 5yrs. The service is about $650. ---

Cool I will start shopping around a few places when I am back in town. Thanks guys. As for the roof the guy that is going to be doing the cleaning is going to be spraying a solution the prevents(no idea whats in it) and installing a zinc strip. It is a beautiful architectural roof that is only a few years old so I certainly want to nip this in the butt. New kitchen pic. What clolor style do you think would look best. I love the floor and cabinets so they are not changing. I am interested in counter and backsplash. ![http://cdn.pureagent.net/mls/nysamls/B3/93/51/7/B393517_8.jpg/t1315809787/400x400/51-Tillinghast-Pl-Buffalo-NY-14216-MLS-B393517_photo8.jpg](http://cdn.pureagent.net/mls/nysamls/B3/93/51/7/B393517_8.jpg/t1315809787/400x400/51-Tillinghast-Pl-Buffalo-NY-14216-MLS-B393517_photo8.jpg) ---

Definitely need to consider the floor and brick around range when picking counter/backsplash colors. ---
