Stone Solutions of Atlanta on Dec 10, 2011Don't be afraid to ask questions or make someone prove their claims. Remember three things. Number one ,Granite does not wear out ,you will have to live with it for a long time so it has to be to your liking.Number two , you are paying for it ,not your sales person , so make sure what you are getting.Number three , ENJOY IT.Helpful Reply
