I came to the store with a vision of the color and style of granite for my kitchen. After discussing it and showing samples of my flooring and cabinets, I felt that they were reading my mind with the options I was presented. I was especially impressed that the first selection was identical to what I had in mind. That saved me so much time and enabled me to check off another«to do» of my project. It was wonderful to work with someone who was so in tune to my vision and could formulate a solution. The customer service is outstanding and you feel like you are the most important customer they have. The measuring for the granite installation was done very professionally and engaged me in making appropriate decisions to ensure the final product was exactly what I wanted. Now that the granite has been installed I have received many compliments on how invisible the seam in the countertop is and how professional the work is. I would highly recommend Avant-Garde for any type of work for their very creative design aptitude and experience, as well as their outstanding customer service.
