Earlier this week the installers from EMG Home Supply showed up to install our granite. They had a crew of 4 and it was all they could do to lift the 4' x 9' island into place after cutting the sink holes and faucets on site. They completed all the work (kitchen, 4 baths and laundry room - 7 slabs plus island and backsplashes in all) in a long day, finishing up at 8pm.
The quality of their work was good. I had done some reference checks on them and each reference recommended I ask for "Ming" to do the installation. He was the lead installer on our crew.
I thought the cutting on site would be messier but with a water saw the dust was kept to a minimum and it was done in our driveway out front. The edges around the sinks were very nicely finished as were a couple of edges they needed to bullnose on site.
My only complaint was their cleanup was not very thorough. I know they were rushed at the end to finish up as it was getting late and they had a 1.5 hour drive back to Concord, but that was no excuse. There was water and granite dust in the under cabinets that should have been vacuumed up and had to be done the next day by our builder.
It was a short week, with Thanksgiving and all. The Structural FX crew continued to
work on tiling up the bathrooms and spent a day thoroughly cleaning up the site. Painting continued on the outside trim detail. Electrical finishings - ceiling fans, sconces, light covers, electrical outlets are moving right along. Our neighbor to the left also decided to clean his side of the creek.
We were very pleased to drive onto our driveway on Thanksgiving day! 4 more weeks to go. We are 6 months into the build now.
