FAQ

Do you offer a design consultation?
Yes. The business charges $200 for a kitchen design and consult that includes measurements and pricing of cabinet options. Reviewers note the team should communicate timelines clearly after the initial consult.
Will you coordinate all the trades for my remodel?
Yes. Abram's team manages demo, installation, and coordinates electrical, plumbing, flooring, lighting, and appliances in-house or through recommended subcontractors.
Do you offer a warranty or stand behind your work after completion?
One reviewer reported that when plumbing-related damage appeared one year after completion, Hecht took full responsibility, paid the insurance deductible, and coordinated all repairs.

Salem Stone earns strong trust for countertop work through personal service and honest pricing that beats big box stores. They handle small projects without minimums, staff knows their materials well, and installations happen fast with precision. Two recent disputes over broken marble slabs charged at full replacement cost shadow an otherwise consistent record of satisfied customers willing to recommend them.
