I am so happy I chose to use SSC Countertops for my kitchen reno. I went through a few other companies prior and was very unhappy with the lack of communication and professionalism, especially with something so important to me. SSC immediately responded and got to work on my project. They promptly answered all of my MANY questions and were so polite and friendly in doing so. I'm am very happy with the service I received and even happier with the final product! They did an amazing job with my counter and I could tell they put a lot of care and detail in this, even if it may have been a smaller

Had purchased a free standing kitchen island from Ikea. Within a few months, the butcher block top started to split and warp. Like the island itself, and not sure if I did anything - or didn't do something, but if butcher block requires this much maintenance, it's not for us. Knew the guys at SSC and asked if this was something they could do. Provided the dimensions and description of the use, and voila! Could not have had a better outcome! It looks great, will be way more functional, everyone at SSC was a pleasure to deal with, service was prompt and the top turnout out exactly as expected
