Granite Innovation

They promised a 3 day job Thursday Friday Saturday which included demolition, granite installation, plumbing and backsplash. Day 3 they didn’t show I called them and they gave me the run around and even hung up on me!!! Very unprofessional they messed up my cabinet trim, scratched the granite, didn’t blend my granite where they made cuts, and left debris in my diswasher. Totally unprofessional they are a little cheaper than flooring liquidators but man am I sorry I didn’t go with them instead.

Warning.
Don’t deal with this company unless you have a extra time to waste. They are unprofessional and their customer service is very poor. You can find better quility and service in other local company’s that care about their customers needs.
I have tried using them on two different project and both times just getting frustrated by time I was done dealing with them.
Never again. Not worth it.

Laggers! take for ever, never show up when they say. waiting for them like an idiot and they don’t call to reschedule. demolition finally came on Wednesday and its now Monday almost a week without a kitchen !! I regret hiring them. first thing I toild him was;How Long for project? he says, about a week; yea right more like two to three good luck

Just a word of advise, if his work is subpar report him to the California state contractors board. If he is licensed he has to have a bonded. If you push it enough the board will make Daniel fix his work. Don’t sit on your hands. Just checked active California contractor license under Granite Innovation and Daniel Garcia, nothing.

The owner Daniel is very hard to get a hold of. They are not good with returning phone calls. Workmanship is less than perfect but acceptable for say a rental house. Yes his price is lower, hence the reason for the not so great workmanship. He takes no interest in how his workers could do a better job. I also did not trust his plumber and wouldn’t really want these caliber of people around my primary dwelling.

We recently had our kitchen remodeled by Granite Innovations. They installed granite and tile backsplash in our kitchen and on our wet bar along with 2 stainless steel sinks. Everything looks fabulous!
The installers were very pleasant, prompt and very knowledgeable about the materials and installation.
The owner was easy to work with and also offered suggestions. He was always available to answer our questions and the price was much lower than previous bids and took less time.

I know Daniel is cheaper, BUT I got what I paid for… not much. My wife and I are NOT happy with his work. WE ARE CERTAINLY NOT HAPPY WITH DANIEL (owner)! Hire him at your own risk.
We hired him to do our whole house: kitchen counters and back splash; bathroom counters/​back splashes, showers, tubs, and floors. His shoddy work runs throughout the project… bad counter seams/​back splash edges, variable grout coloring, poor tile cuts/​spacing; even slow demolition. His workers are nice, but Daniel is a horrible overseer/​face of his company. Workers show up later than promised, but never fail to go to lunch on time or leave before 5:00 pm.
Daniel is unorganized and undependable. He is hard to get a hold of and seems to resent questions/​reminders, but he’s johnny-​on-​the-​spot when it comes to collecting money. He is the grouchiest self-​employed guy I’ve ever met. I thought these guys had to keep the customer happy. We had several tense conversations over material selection and quality of work. He never offered to make it right. He refused to re-​do any of the bad work. At the end of the project, after receiving ¾ of the cost of the project, he told me it would not be worth his time to re-​do the areas we had concerns with. I guess I only have myself to blame. I hired him and stuck with him. Live and learn.
Read all the reviews and decide for yourself if it’s worth the risk to hire Daniel to work on YOUR HOME. He may be great for mediocre house flips, but he has been the BIGGEST MISTAKE of our complete house remodel project. Every other sub contractor that has done work on our house agrees with my assessment of his work… IT’S BAD. Now I look at his work and wish I had it to do it all over again… I would have gladly paid more to have these high visibility areas done correctly.
Now…you decide.

Terrible service, he doesn’t take responsibility for damage caused by his employees. His employees drilled the hole in the granite for my faucet after installing the granite over my cast iron sink causing 2 cracks in the porcelain finish! They also damaged the granite in several places and did patchwork repairs. Then they never even said anything about the patchwork repairs caused by their incompetence!
Even Daniel the owner refuses to accept responsibility for all the damage done. Beware when you use him. He would also say he was coming to install the counter and then flake and not show or even have the courtesy to call. Then they tried to charge more than the quoted price. Luckily I had saved the quote I had initially been given. I would not recommend his company to anyone!

Daniel and his workers are professional in their work ethic and their product. They showed up at the times promised and they were friendly, courteous, and hard working. the kitchen was finsished in three days and the finished kitchen countertop is absolutely beautiful! their prices were the best i could find and they were so easy to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone

Daniel Garcia at Granite Innovations has been an absolute life saver the past two years! I’ve used him for at least 50 remodels in the past 24 months and his work is quite good. If you want to nit pick everything, this is not the company for you. If you want beautiful granite and tile installed for literally a THIRD to HALF the cost of another contractor, you can’t go wrong.
He has quite a few options in his shop, but you can choose just about any type of material and he will have it installed for you.
I will upload a few pictures of one of our remodels, so please take a look.

I have used this company a few times for my kitchen and bathrooms. Each time I have been very specific about what I want and a time line to complete. I have told them in the past that once you start my job I would like a crew here every day. I would recommend this company every time for the client that knows what they want. Pick out your material (Sinks, faucets, granite color, backsplash, etc.) then call and provide a detailed want list. Granite innovations has always been ¹⁄₃ cheaper than any other bid! Clean up is not their strong point. My home was left clean but not perfect. The workers made me feel comfortable through out the renovation.

This is a tricky review. Granite Innovation recently put in a new countertop and backsplash, including removing the old stuff and hooking up the new plumbing. The counter looks excellent and the backsplash looks quite good (although I wouldn’t say excellent because the tiles around the window are a touch off). In addition, the crews were friendly and did a decent job cleaning up, and the price was tough to beat. At least four and maybe five stars so far, considering the price.
So why three stars? There were two issues: 1) dependability was sometimes an issue as they didn’t show when promised. Eventually they always showed, although sometimes we had to call and remind them. 2) more concerning was the plumber. After he installed the faucet there were several extra pieces, some of which clearly should’ve been used. We contacted the company assuming it was an oversight and the plumber came back out — but he refused to admit the pieces belonged to the faucet and claimed they were unnecessary despite evidence to the contrary. He left without fixing the problem.
In short, I would use Granite Innovation again for counter install or tile work, but I wouldn’t let their plumber touch anything of importance.
