This is a price comparison from the two major "Home-Centers."
*We will call one the "ORANGE HOME-CENTER" and the other the "BLUE HOME-CENTER."
Price must include: material, template, labor, stainless steel undermount sink, sink installation, faucet drillings, radius corners, and a standard edge.
PRICE BASED ON A DRAWING I SUBMITTED POSING AS A CUSTOMER ON 12-17-08
The sketch was for 55 sq. ft. of countertops, with 37 liner feet of edging and (5) 1 1/2 inch radius corners. I will gladly fax or e-mail the same sketch to anyone who would like to do this comparison.
