Best Place for Granite Countertops + Roof Cleaning?

This could go well with the brick and cabinet color.

This looks sweet, but I feel like you would have to cover the brick with it as well.

If you want countertops with a big, busy grain pattern then I would keep the backsplash fairly simple so they aren’t competing with each other.

Stone backsplash would be a bitch to clean if you splatter something on it.

all of the above are badass

the following are cool cement countertops…incase you’ve never seen some of the more elaborate designs.

Something like the following is really cool too, they are made of recycled glass. Might be a little too modern looking for your space, but cool nonethless.

All super cool ideas. Yeah I am leaning towardone of the more unique styles of granite/counters which in general cost more which is why I figured $100+per sqft. I would probably do a more simple backsplash as jager pointed out to go along with it. This home is not a “starter” home it is something I plan to be in for quite some time.(famous last words)

You need to do a complete tearoff

On a 6 year old roof??

Sorry, I must have forgot my [sarcasm] tags at home. Cougarspeed is a close friend of mine.

:danny::oj::naab:

LOL at all three of these

My buddies family owns Buffalo Granite. Let me know if you want me to contact him directly.

Well in that case, Tearoff is the only logical solution.

Lol, how doesn’t this surprise me.

Lol, how doesn’t this surprise me.

I almost forgot about soap stone!

Let me know when you get in touch with him. My stepmom is doing their kitchen right now as well and is going to be spending a ton more then I am and is alredy going there. So this could work for both of us.

House needs to be burned and new one built!

I forgot to mention that CFM won’t give you a price on anything unless you’re getting work done by a contractor because they are a wholesaler. the house we are doing now ended up being 1000$ more at CFM than at buffalogranite… but it still never hurts to check around.

I am actually going with my mom to Buffalo Granite this Sat. since we are both doing kitchens!

I need granite counter tops as well… Maybe we can do a granite group buy? LOL
