“Great people to deal with! Josh installed our granite island and countertops with great detail and craftsmanship. Highly recommend.”
Ryan T. · Google · a year ago“Contacted the staff to see if they had a countertop size we were having trouble finding. They searched for our measurements, sent us updates and went above and beyond to help. The best part? We found one in great condition for $25!”
Pamela M. · Google · a year ago“My wife and I bought our quartz counter tops from Price-Less and couldn't be happier. From the expertise in the store to the installation, they were top notch.”
