Granite is a natural stone. It is very hard and durable; heat and scratch resistant; and easy to maintain\u2013in every sense, it\u2019s the material of the future. Aside from the practical aspect, granite is very versatile in the design field. It comes in various colors and structural compositions; our yard stocks more than 200 colors from which to choose on site. All stones are not exactly the same. Each lot will have unique characteristics attributed to the specific granite.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/article>\n <\/span>Is the template price include in the total project cost?<\/h3>\n Yes, template and installation will be included with your quote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/article>\n <\/span>How long will it take to get my Free quote?<\/h3>\n Free quotes for faxed or emailed proposals are given a 24-hour time frame. We will either call, email or fax back the estimate assuming that the contact information is provided to us in the original communication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/article>\n <\/span>What is the deposit required for a residential project?<\/h3>\n Colonial Marble & Granite requires a deposit of half the estimated price in credit card, cash or certified check. This payment takes place at the time of the template. If there is no deposit during the template we cannot start the fabrication of the countertop or any other project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/article>\n <\/span>What\u2019s the difference between marble and granite? How to chose?<\/h3>\n The main difference between granite and marble is that granite is a highly dense material formed deep inside the earth\u2019s core while marble is formed from sediments under the seabed. Both solidify into stone after millions of years but the mineral composition of the two stones makes marble and granite react differently to various chemicals and household cleaners.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/article>\n <\/span>How to get the most accurate quote<\/h3>\n We require our potential clients to provide us with the general overview of the project along with personal information such as name, town, state, zip code, a phone contact and, if known, the name of the stone and the desired edge finish. We then can process the specific measurements and respond with an approximate estimate for the job. This information can either be faxed to us or brought to our showroom when the client comes in for a walk through our warehouse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/article>\n <\/span>How much material is needed for my countertop or vanity?<\/h3>\n Do I have to buy the whole sheet\/slab? No. We will determine how much material is needed for your countertops. We do not charge you the price of full slabs. You pay for what is required to fabricate your tops.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/article>\n <\/span>What is Colonial\u2019s Payment Policy<\/h3>\n Colonial Marble & Granite accepts credit cards, cash, personal check or certified check only. After the order is placed, the total is broken up into two payments: 50% prior to template and any remaining balances prior to the start of the installation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/article><\/div>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
