We were steered to Select through our kitchen cabinet supplier (Bellini Kitchens). They said we'd be impressed , and we were.
The selection was amazing. They had materials in every price category, and the quality was top notch.
Renato is extremely passionate about his business. He took all the time in the world to explain different grades, finishes, durability, etc.
He knew that we wanted a premium product, and quoted us a very fair price.
The stone that we liked had a number of slabs in his stock, and Renato had the crane operator leaf through each one, like they were a deck of cards.
I certainly speculated that just the act of living these slabs could damage them, and I'm sure that most places will just assure you that it's not necessary to do so.
After we picked our stone, Renato looked at the counter top drawings, and selected the orientation and cutting paths to highlight the optimal features of our stone.
Then, we went upstairs for cappuccino, while he proudly showed us photos of how he travels to the quarries, and carefully selects his stock.
In addition to his passion for his work, he was keen to show us how his family accompanied him on these "missions"
The stone was a very important part of our kitchen. We wanted the best, and we got it.
I highly and sincerely recommend Select to anyone who wants a quality product from a company that takes great pride in what they offer.
I'm sure there are many granite suppliers in Toronto, but can't imagine a better experience than the one we had.
