Counter top Trends & Four Questions to ask your contractor Our talk with Armando Trevino of Stone Crafters! The most common question about counter tops is ‘What are my options?’ For enjoyment and maximizing home re-sale value, granite and quartz are the most popular options. So, what’s the difference? Granite ranges in types and price from entry-level to exotic. The difference is in the look. An entry-level granite is more uniform in design. An exotic granite has more variation and may have more intense or distinct colors. Good quality granite has an epoxy resin that is vacuum sealed onto the stone, meaning that there is an actual coating on granite that makes it impenetrable to stains. Quartz is a non-porous material that consists of 89% granite and 11% resin. The beauty of quartz is that you can get colors that mimic marble in white and greys that are simply not available in granite. You can get quartz with veins (the kind that looks like marble) for about the same cost as exotic granite.
Beyond the material, you will need to choose details such as the type of edge on the counter top. It’s important to do your homework before hiring any contractor. Check state license boards as well as social media sites to start. Here are 4 questions to ask when shopping around for a company to help with your kitchen: 1. How long have you been in the business? What about your employees? I’m celebrating 21 years of experience in this business. And some of the employees on my team have been working with stone counter tops for over 30. Counter tops are never a oneperson job. Ask about the team. 2. What level of detail do you provide? Some contractors only provide one part of the total project. Ideally, you
want a contractor who is responsible for all of the details before, during, and after installation. For example, I tell people, “I come with the job.” When someone signs a contract, I help them
“There’s nothing that I
wouldn’t do to make a job right – my job is to make you happy. Isn’t that the way it should be?” source all of the materials that they need -- the stone and backsplash. We’ll talk about the faucets, stove top, or other related appliances. It saves time to have everything ready to go before the start date. That is the key – making sure that everything is lined up and that you aren’t waiting for anything. 3. What is the schedule for the work? The time it takes to install new counter tops varies widely by contractor. For us, the average kitchen remodel is one week from start to finish. Monday is a busy day – demolition to rip

out existing tile, take down the bare cabinet, remove old tile, take it to the dump and dispose of it. Then, we make templates using modern technology to recreate your exact kitchen. Tuesday through Thursday is when we create your kitchen in the shop; we don’t need to be in your home. Friday – our team takes care of the installation and the job is complete. Be sure and ask about schedule so that your kitchen isn’t torn up any longer than it has to be.
make decisions that they won’t regret later, and I make sure that they are happy. I also help my clients save money by passing along savings on material in the form of various discounts that I receive from my vendors. There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do to make a job right – my job is to make you happy. Isn’t that the way it should be?
4. Why are you the best for the job? New Construction • Residential • Remodeling
It’s always interesting to hear what people have to say about their work, and it helps you understand if this is a person you want to do business with. It’s important to me to help people

David Geig, Owner The Bulk Yard (661) 829-4665 TheBulkYard.com
BBQ Meets the Digital Age! The Owner of the Bulk Yard, David Geig, talks to The Bakersfield Home Magazine about one the fastest rising stars in BBQ – The Pellet Grill. Pellet grills are becoming one of the hottest trends in BBQ, even though they’ve been around for several years. The word is out -wood pellets provide convenient, clean grilling, and add great flavor to whatever you’re grilling. The pellets bring a hard-wood flavor to BBQ that gas grills cannot, and come in varying flavors such as Apple, Hickory, Mesquite, and Oak. Use alone or combine for a unique flavor. The grill uses convection style cooking with fans and electronic temperature control. And, Green Mountain Grills has introduced the next component - Wi-Fi control. Using the meat probe (included), you can monitor and control the grill AND the meat temperature by simple adjustments from the unit, or from the app on any Smart device.
You can even set up a cooking profile through the app. When you set a custom profile, you can set it and forget it. The cooking profile consists of smoke time, grill time and desired finished meat temperature. Green Mountain Grills also offers a variety of accessories, sauces, and dry rubs.
“...adjustments from the unit, or from the app on any Smart device” So, if you’re looking for a new grill, check out the Green Mountain Grill products. They are made with the highest quality and sell for a lower price point than other grills. They step up the game for BBQ competitors, and are a great option for those who simply love to BBQ at home.

Before inviting any roofer into your home, check out our reviews on Angie’s List. If you’re reading this, you’ve probably noticed a problem with your roof that requires repair or complete replacement. Choosing the right roofing contractor is a big decision and shouldn’t be taken lightly. After all, a solid roof is one of the most important factors to having a safe and comfortable home... not to mention one of your largest investments. With all of the horror stories that you hear about unscrupulous contractors (especially here in the central valley), finding someone you can trust can be intimidating for even the savviest homeowner.
