Pictures don’t show everything, but that is some real nice work.

Nice work Gordo…….. Do your guys do the remove and replace of the faucet also ?

[Alan Sawatzky]

Nice work Gordon!

That is a fine piece of workmanship on the repair.

Here is a fine example of what happens when you cut your own sink into a pre-fab granite top. The serrated cuts (likely from a skilsaw or 6″ grinder) were just waiting to fail. When someone put weight on it, it did. TOP IS LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OLD.

Love the revenues but, when asked, I still say that Solid Surface is the material of choice……..

How many times did I hear that granite never breaks after installation, that rodding was just insurance for the fabricator. Guess not in this case.

Was the top properly supported ?

Good repair job, by the way.

Another homeowner popped in yesterday. Sink fell out! Tends to happen when the only thing holding it in is 10.1oz. of silicone.

The bummer is the same thing happens when Solid Surface or Quartz is Fabed or Installed wrong. See below……

Nice article. Seems like the stone fails quicker to me, though.

Too many natural fissure points maybe.

Nice article.

Thanks, is there anything that you would have added to it ?

Gordon once again – awesome repair job!

How much are people willing to pay for the repair? It doesn’t really matter what the material is but how it is processed that matters.

Karl – The bowling ball drop and crack is a great example of mis-informed consumers! Nice write-up!

[Andy Graves]

WOW, I would have guessed that it could not be repaired. So no warranty and the customer pays the entire repair bill. I won’t bother asking what it cost, but how long did it take from start to finish?

[Gordon Doull]

Well, the sink had to come out and go back in also, but it was about 4.5 hours.

Luckily, this was one of those sinks like Dave mentioned. Siliconed in only.

You should have seen the cut next to the F/S range.

Well…….yea. I would have put a Surface Authority ad at the end.
