8 Reasons You Should Choose a Professional Countertop Fabricator
Embarking on a kitchen renovation is an exhilarating journey, with the selection of your new countertops at its heart. This choice is more than a mere aesthetic upgrade; it’s a significant investment in the heart of your home. Choosing the right countertop fabricator is crucial, as it can transform this exciting vision into a reality that combines beauty with lasting functionality. Let’s dive into why our team at Alps Craftsman is essential for achieving the kitchen of your dreams.
1. Expertise and Experience
Alps Craftsman is an experienced fabrication company that has supported production builders, multi-unit developers, and homeowners for over 30 years and has completed more than 100,000 countertop installations. Our professional team sets us apart from our competitors who often are former fabricators who decide to open their own shop. In these instances, these small, owner-run, fabricators don’t have all the skills related to making countertops because they were only trained in one portion of the process. They also don’t have a team structure like Alps Craftsman does that provides the professional support that you deserve when embarking on such a project. Alps Craftsman brings an unmatched level of skill and knowledge to your project. Our wealth of experience ensures that your countertops are not just installed, but crafted to enhance the beauty and functionality of your home.
2. Ethical Business Practices
Choosing a fabricator who operates ethically is paramount. This involves transparent business practices, fair pricing, and respect for both clients and the law. At Alps Craftsman, all our team members are legally documented workers, ensuring that you never have to worry about the legality or ethics of who is entering your home and handling your project. We also only fabricate countertops using industry guidelines or specific instructions set forth by manufacturers. This allows for any possible warranties to be in effect if the situation arises. Many fabricators employ their staff illegally and don’t follow manufacturer guidelines because they just want to do it their way, although it is not ethical or correct.
3. Quality and Craftsmanship
The quality of workmanship is visible in every detail of your installed countertop. We use only high-quality, branded materials and adhere strictly to manufacturing guidelines to ensure durability and aesthetic appeal. Our commitment to using only Grade-A slabs guarantees that the finished product meets your expectations and lasts for years to come. Many fabricators use lower quality material when selling to customers but don’t disclose this fact. It allows them to make more money on each job because the customer believes they are buying Grade-A material. This is a very common sales strategy for unprofessional fabricators and is something Alps Craftsman has never and will never do.
4. Comprehensive Service
From initial design consultations to the final installation, we offer a comprehensive service. We value customer involvement and offer unlimited design appointments, ensuring that you are part of the process every step of the way. Our dedicated project managers and in-house design team maintain open lines of communication, keeping you informed and involved throughout the duration of your project. Most fabricators don’t have in-house design teams and lack the knowledge to create beautiful spaces in your home. Furthermore, since the person selling the job is also the individual fulfilling the order, there is little time for communication and attention to detail.
5. One-Stop Shopping
We make embarking on a home renovation project easier than other fabricators because we offer a one-stop shopping experience. Our professionalism allows us to offer multiple product lines needed to complete a kitchen, bathroom, home office, or basement remodel. In addition to countertops, we offer cabinets, sinks, faucets, tiles, and hardware. Visiting our design center will allow you to pick all your items together in one place, greatly cutting down the time and effort it takes to create a beautiful space in your home. Other fabricators don’t have the space for a design center, nor do they have the money or skills to have additional product offerings.
6. Avoiding High-Pressure Sales Tactics
We understand that choosing a countertop is a significant decision and respect your need for time to make the right choice. We provide all the necessary information and support without pressuring you to make a quick decision. This approach contrasts sharply with high-pressure sales tactics that other fabricators often use, which prioritize sales over customer satisfaction.
7. Professional Settings and Resources
We invest in the proper infrastructure, such as a well-equipped design center and a professional production facility. This not only reflects our commitment to quality but also ensures that we have full control over the production process, ensuring the safety of our employees and customers. Our extensive investment in our design center and production facility means that every countertop is crafted under stringent quality controls to meet our high standards. Most fabricators work in unsafe locations without the proper protection for the employees or homeowners visiting the facility. This behavior creates an unnecessary risk to everyone and highlights the need for a professional fabrication company.
8. Long-Term Reliability
Choosing a fabricator who follows through on their promises is vital. We ensure that all contractual agreements are met and that any issues arising post-installation are addressed promptly and efficiently. Our adherence to manufacturer guidelines and robust support system ensures that any warranty issues are resolved quickly, providing you with peace of mind. Most fabricators take your money and run. If an issue were to arise, they will blow you off and not work to find a proper resolution.
