Thinking of Buying Home Depot Granite Countertops?
Home Depot granite countertops seem like a good deal for lots of uneducated buyers. They are a big store, have a easy process, seem professional, and have a warranty. What could possibly be wrong with that? Well you will be shock to discover that not is all as it seems.
We sent in undercover shoppers to find out exactly what the deal is with Home Depot granite countertops. Keep reading to find out the 5 biggest reasons you should NOT buy Home Depot granite countertops.
5 REASONS: DON’T BUY HOME DEPOT GRANITE COUNTERTOPS
Hоmе Depot dоеѕn’t fabricate оr іnѕtаll. They outsource. (aka probably hіrе thе cheapest bidder)
When you buy granite countertops at Home Depot your not actually buying it from them. They turn around and hire a fabricator and installer that you don’t get to select. Typically these fabricators and installers are the lowest bidder. Which could mean lower quality materials, fabrication and installation services. Think about it. They make money on the volume being sold.
When you buy Factory Direct with the fabricator and installer you get to deal directly when the experts. That means less problems and better quality control. You see and know exactly what your going to get.
Hоmе Depot is NOT an expert in Granite Countertops
When you buy granite countertops at Home Depot you typically are dealing with just a “Sales Person” who is basically trained in how to sell countertops using their system. When asked detailed questions the sales people know very little in our undercover shopping experience. Shocking to say the least.
When you buy direct with the factory that fabricates and installs your dealing with the EXPERTS direct. This is a BIG BIG BIG reason not to buy granite countertops with Home Depot. If you want the best outcome for your countertops you probably want to talk to the people who are actually making them and installing them. You wouldn’t get an operation by talking to a secretary at a hospital would you? No of course not. You would want to talk to the doctor direct. Same deal. Deal with the experts.
Yоu Gеt Better Quаlіtу & Price Buуіng Dіrесt With a Fabricator
You never want to just buy the cheapest granite countertops just for the sake of the price. Look for what is the best VALUE by getting great quality and great price. Buying direct with the fabrictor you tend to get better quality and in the case of us also better pricing because:
1) You get to pick the exact material used
2) The fabricator works harder to ensure your happy and they get good reviews
3) You get full control from start to finish on the outcome.
4) There are less middle-men adding profit that increases your price
Samples Arе Nоt the Same аѕ Actual Slаb – HUGE REASON
One of the BIGGEST REASONS you should NOT BUY GRANITE FROM HOME DEPOT is that you have to select your material from a small sample. NEVER BUY FROM A SAMPLE ALONE! You must see the whole slab to know what your getting.
1) First off a sample of the slab may only show a small section and the rest looks completely different.
2) Second the actual slab used may be the same “color” but from a different batch and look completely different.
3) Third granite comes in different qualities. Yes, that is right there are different QUALITY LEVELS to granite. The best stuff is called Grade A which has the least amount of imperfections. (Think of Diamond shopping). The cheap stuff is usually full of imperfections that gets filled in with a resign. Normally recommended for only commercial use. Do you think you will get the best most expensive materials from a company that gets outsourced?
4) You don’t get to see how the countertop gets laid out on the slab. This is a big deal if you there is lots of pattern, veins, and movement in the materials color.
