GJ was so easy and awesome to work with! He went over and beyond for us. His quality and craftsmanship was truly perfect. And he has amazing attention to detail. Very creative coming up with different solutions. He also found us the most beautiful slab and customer service was 5 Star! Will only use Counter Culture Plus in the future. Thanks! Alyssa and Bill

Report
I can't emphasize enough how wonderful it was to work with GJ and his crew on our project. Not only was there great communication and attention to detail every step of the way from material selection to measuring, fabrication and installation, I could tell there's a great passion for customer service and simply making it look great that's embedded in the culture of what Counter Culture are all about. Highly recommended.
