OneZero Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I made the error during initial renovation of my condo (CR Condotel center of town) of directing laborers to purchase solid black granite counter tops. A very unforgiving color, and I am considering replacing just one of the counter tops (although I have yet to return to CR to try the cleaning advice I appreciate receiving in the real estate forum). I'm guessing there are probably several granite counter top shops in CR, but since I'm only part time in CR with only bicycle for transport, I would like to minimize shopping around if possible. Thanks in advance if anybody can offer experience or advice ref name & location of an honest shop providing quality work / granite at an appropriate proportionate price.

villagefarang Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 We did our counter tops nine years ago and the last time I looked the shop didn’t seem to be there anymore, so no help from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manassas Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I just bought a granite countertop. I bought from one of about 3 countertop shops close to each other north of downtown in the area of the airport road as I recall - on the left-hand side if headed south. Just look for slabs of granite sitting out in front. Comparable prices at all the shops I looked at, it's just a matter of finding the color you like. Just a note of caution if you're retrofitting into an existing space - you will need very exact measurements. Easier if it's a straight piece, but more complicated if you have to go around corners and sinks etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneZero Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 This is what I thought, nothing in town. OK, thanks for the advice. I'll ride my bike up there to talk with them on my next CR visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manassas Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 There is a nice Kitchen store just past Thai Watsadu on the south side of town. I browsed through but haven't bought anything from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevvy Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 We made a day of it and drove to Tak as there is so many factories there and cheaper than here .We got marble and they bevelled the edges as well and arranged delivery . They had so many colours to choose from. They have a big stock of granite as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
