We had a great experience working with Jennifer. We replaced the countertops in our kitchen-she gave great advice - we chose marble from Cosmo's - CCK came to our house and completed a template with the changes we wanted. The installers came and worked their magic and we are thrilled. My mother insists we get her signed up right away. We highly recommend this local business!

A pleasant and professional experience from beginning to end. Kate worked closely with my wife to understand the process and choose our countertops. The man who came and did the template was on target, and the men that installed them were competent and cleaned up the demo of the old countertops completely. This left us with well polished, rounded on the edges, and beautiful countertops at the quoted price.
