Default Granite countertop contractor recommendations in calgary- please!

Hello all!

I have been trying to get decent pricing from a decent granite place in calgary.

So far the best contractor I found turned out to be problematic/dramatic.

Has anyone dealt with this and found a good vendor with good pricing out this way?

I am really ****ed at the outfit Ive been trying to work with and wouldnt mind hearing some feedback or input.

BTW, did you know granite places in town by their standard grade material at around $10 per square foot, medium grade around $20 and so on...

Arborite over 3/4 inch plywood works pretty good. Won't shatter your best crystal or wine bottles either, when they get dropped onto the counter.

Thank you!


Nothing against arborite, just reno'd the kitchen, new cabinets, new paint, new windows, new appliances. Might as well make it purty.

Default One to avoid

You might want to steer clear of Active Marble & Tile; they completely butchered my counters and then told me to get bent when I claimed warranty. One quick lawsuit, roughly a full refund and these guys were off my Xmas card list forever.

I have heard good things about Granite Direct and Prestige Granite but have neer hired either.

I had great luck with Adanac Granite (really original name - Canada spelled backwards ), name aside, great price and service - wish I could remember the saleswoman we dealt with.
Adanac was recommended to us off this board.

Default countertops

Are you sure you want granite?? I've got them here and I'd rather have laminate over plywood.
