Stone Projects

I recently remodeled my kitchen and used Stone Projects for the countertops and backsplash. Rebecca was terrific! She was so patient and spent a long time describing the characteristics of the various materials, so when I went to the stone yard, I had some knowledge about what I was seeing. For years I had been in love with white and gray marble, but she strongly discouraged it because marble is delicate; it etches, scratches and stains very easily. Thus, choosing the type of material — formica, quartz or stone — was the first step. I wanted granite and had already ruled out formica, but quartz, which I assumed was stone, seemed like a good possibility. Stone Projects has sample materials, and Rebecca explained that quartz is a manmade product, engineered to look like granite. When I saw the larger quartz sample, I hated it! At first glance it looks like granite but then you realize there are no variations or flaws, the very characteristics that make stone beautiful; ultimately quartz looked like a plastic fake to me. Thanks to Rebecca’s expert help, I didn’t make a very expensive mistake.
When I went to the stone yard, at first I chose a granite, although it didn’t have the look of the white marble I wanted. I returned to the stone yard several times to look at the slab (they were practically ready to hire me there!) and then I saw it – quartzite! Quartzite — which is not quartz — is a natural stone (unlike the manmade quartz), but it is much more forgiving than delicate marble, though not as indestructible as granite. The quartzite slab was white and gray and looks like the marble I had loved for so long. It was also twice the cost of the granite, and to achieve the effect I wanted, I was doing the entire backsplash and wall as well as the countertop. Ultimately, I couldn’t resist the quartzite, and I’m so glad I didn’t — although super expensive, it’s truly stunning, like a beautiful work of art! Stone Projects did a fantastic job, and when I thought there might be a tiny scratch, Carlos, the excellent installer, cheerfully returned ready to fix it. Turns out it is a natural flaw in the stone, which is perfectly fine, but Carlos was super nice, even though this was an unnecessary trip for him. If you’re contemplating any kind of stone work, you can’t do better than Stone Projects — it’s the best!

My granite fireplace doesn’t look good.
It looks PHENOMENAL!
I went to several of different suppliers of stone. I didn’t feel anyone was really interested in my project. Then I checked out Stone Projects. They spent a lot of time with me discussing the benefits of each type of stone. They showed me and wide selection of granite slabs all in different colors and degrees of movement. I knew I was going with them right then, after all the time they spent with me. The installation team was fantastic. I’m a dentist and into small details, so you can imagine how particular I am. These guys could be surgeons. Seriously, every detail was perfect. To top it off they were 30% less expensive than their nearest competitor! I’ve been happy to pay 30 percent more than the nearest competitor. If I knew how good they were going to be. I love how everything came out.

After reading reviews of a number of suppliers, I went with Stone Projects, and am happy I did. They did a great job. They included me in the templating of the stone, to avoid colorations in some spots. They also followed a strict process to ensure all the specs were fixed & they could move forward. The installation was done professionally and on time. We love our new counters and backsplash!
I called today for help as the granite backsplash was not fully sealed to the counter with silicone. The owner was polite, and will be calling me back shortly with options for a service call.

I needed my granite trimmed/​shaved so a new stove could fit. Carlos came out the next day and was so careful and accurate with how much had to be trimmed. He was careful not to scratch floor. Cleaned up after. He was polite and friendly. I will definitely recommend this company to friends and family. A+ service

The best Granite and hard surface company around. We have done 5 projects at 3 houses (including lake Winnipesaukee) with Leo and team and they are professional, experts, clean and on time! They template with computers and lasers, have computerized, gigantic cutting machinery and a huge selection of granite and marble. The friends and family we have recommended have all been very happy as well.

what a pleasure dealing w/​leo chantre, from template to install everything went fantastic. great selection and pricing, i would highly recommend leo and his staff.

We were on a short timeline trying to put our Condo on the market. Leo came out right away and had amazing cabinets and countertops for us at a great price. The cabinets were ordered and installed within 2 weeks and they came out amazing! Leo is so great to work with and most important he is accessible! Via email or phone you can always get a hold of him. I’m already going back to Leo to do some work at my house! Highly recommend them!

Chose to go with Stone Projects because of their inventory, pricing AND the reviews on Unilocal.Best decision, hands down. Prompt, fast, expert. What more could you want?

Just had our granite counters installed and they are perfect. Leo and his team were excellent to work with and we would highly recommend them. Also, they had the best price and the fastest service compared to three other companies that we received quotes from.

Leo at Stone Projects was an incredible support during my kitchen remodel. From the start of picking out the stone countertops all the way through the final touches, he & his staff were incredibly responsive & diligent. In fact, Leo spent over 2 hours on a Friday afternoon with me while I debated back splash options, and when I changed my mind to tile, he was perfectly accommodating. And even, had the tile installed within a week after I changed my mind. He repeatedly explained options, and was quick & thorough in his response to any questions/​concerns I had (which were minor & few). The finished product is stunning, and beautifully crafted, not an easy task in a house over 100 years old. Unfortunately, we’ve come to expect to be at the seeming whim of contractors schedules — this was not the case with Stone Projects. Working with Leo felt like a true partnership. And while, I acted as the general contractor, after having worked with Leo, I would easily choose to have him oversee any future house projects. He & his staff are amazing and one-​of-​a-​kind.

Can’t speak for the other reviewer, but our experience with Leo and company at Stone Projects was rather smooth. Our renovation was completed within a week’s time (granite countertop and mosaic backsplash), more than adequate for our expectations. I believe this is my first review, so that goes to show how pleased we were with the work!

I received information & quotes from 3 companies to install granite counters in my kitchen, I also went to the 2 big stores (awful idea!, zero informative customer service). I decided to hire Stone Projects and I made the right choice!
The salesperson (Evelyn) was extremely helpful, the pricing for materials and labor was excellent and the installers were skilled & pleasant.
I wish all contractors were this easy to work with.

I hired stone projects to install granite counter tops. I had original planned to go with a larger company, but my job was pretty small and the larger company ended up having terrible customer service. I was very happy with stone projects. They showed me all the options for slabs at their sight so that I could pick out the one that I wanted. The salesperson was very friendly and helpful. The final product was excellent!

Didn’t even get the chance to review one of their products. I was shoe’d off the phone by some rude person before I could even get any questions answered. Seriously, all I want is a 21″ wide piece of counter top.
