We want to update our counters from formica into either tile or stone. I looked up the mamasource recs on this but none are very close. Being new here, we just thought to go to Home Depot or Lowes but I wanted to check if you have other recommendations. Also, do you think stone is much better than tile for home resale value these days?
We did the granite with Heritage Stonecraft from Garland. It looks great!
I would suggest you go with natural stone. It really will increase the value of your home. One of our clients is located in Southlake which isn't too far from Las Colinas. Tell them Jodi De Santiago with eLevel sent you.

Good luck with the sell of your home. I hear it's a tough market right now. Hopefully location will help!!!!
I would compare the cost of these products to granite. The value that granite will add to your kitchen is way greater than the other two material. I would pay the upcharge for granite and reap the benefits at resale.

Check out Irving Counter Top. ###-###-#### or metro ###-###-####. www.irvingcounter.com We replaced our counters this year. We went to Lowes and had a nightmare process. Lowes kept screwing up our paperwork. The company that actually did the work was Irving Counters. They were great. You actually go to a place in Coppell and pick out your stone slabs. You also pick out a back up so if anything goes wrong in cutting the counters they can still meet the deadlines they give you. I would use them again and have recomended them to several friends looking to redo their kitchens. Granite is wonderful. Just don't go for the under the counter sink. They look great but if you ever have any plumbing problems you have to have a special plumber.
