Lyle and his team did a really good job on our quartz countertops. The finished product was excellent and he spent the time with us to make sure everything was almost perfect. I would definitely recommend Applegate Countertops to anyone and I’ve already recommended them to two of my friends and neighbors.

My in-laws bought there home over 20+ years ago they were in need of a new countertop as the grout was worn down and it was getting harder to clean. I helped them obtain some estimates but Lyle made them feel comfortable, gave them options but not too many to confuse them which was all very important to us. He was extremely thorough about the process, timeline and even invited them out to the showcase to pick out a quartz option that worked with their budget. I am extremely grateful for Lyle’s patience and care in working with our parents. He did beautiful work and was in and out within a 6-7 hours. He set up the drywall guy for repairs after the demolition and install. Who by the way also did great work. We recommend Applegates for your countertops!!

Our en suite bathroom was straight out of the 1980's, so we were in desperate need of a full remodel. After getting 4 different bids from different contractors, we went with Applegate's due to Lyle's professionalism, competitive pricing and his input and ideas. In less than five weeks, our bathroom went from old school to new and beautiful!! There were some days when Lyle was not able to come to our house, but that was not a problem because everyone on his team is as professional and friendly as Lyle!

The granite from AZ tile was great. This review is a year old but there’s been some stuff that I can’t let go. My install was during spring break when the owner was gone. Not sure if that’s part of the issue. Some details… during the install the tile guy was complaining about how fast he needed to do this job and how many he had to do. He also was telling another guy “ this isn’t my fault” when I asked what later he said the tile looks crooked but it’s the build of the house not his fault… okay. I guess I’ll just deal with it looking crooked. The installer didnt add edging around the tile backsplash but did around the window so that looks odd. He said he would have had to charge for it… wish I would have know when I set up the bid that it didn’t include everything. They did not caulk the line between the tile and granite and now that’s cracked all along the counters. They left the electrical out and touching so it burnt one of the switches and they were stuck together. They left a ton of residue from cutting stuff in our rocks out front and filled up both my trash cans (luckily the next day was trash day). They said they could save the cut outs as cutting boards but then the installers said that’s not a thing. They did give me a couple but from a different granite. The tile setter also cut my screen on my window over my sink but ignored me when I mentioned it. They tried to do the install in a day and a half . I know cause the guy was complaining the whole time about needing to be in Barstow the next day for another job. So much grout was left unfinished that I had to call and ask for them to come back. He had to spend another 4 or 5 hours after he said he was done and I had to call and ask. Not sure if they were suppose to seal the tile grout but they didn’t. Theres also still some glue that stained my carpet and after 2 deep cleanings still can’t get out. There’s probably more I’m forgetting but it’s been a year. I was bummed because they were a higher bid but I was referred to them by someone I trusted who worked in the industry for years. So it’s kind of a bummer. I wish I had asked more and been more pushy with basic stuff and covered ALL details.

Lyle and his crew are very professional and make sure you are happy at all times. They took the time to answer all my questions. They did my kitchen counter and backsplash. It is exactly what I wanted and is beautiful. I am having them come back to do my bathroom counters and back splash. They are a great company to work with!

Lyle Applegate missed the delivery dates time after time after time. He left big splotches of glue on my countertops that I cannot remove. He was supposed to come to my home and repair the countertops that began coming apart 2 weeks after being installed. Again, he failed to show up, call me or otherwise make any effort to correct his faulty work. I DO NOT recommend this guy to anyone. He is rude, uncaring and extremely unprofessional. I paid a lot of money for a horrible job.

Lyle along with with his crew were amazing!!! Very knowledgeable. Answered all my questions/concerns before , during and after installation. They are licensed. The fabricator , Juan is brilliant! I had custom Ogie bullnose edging and a dreaded seam . All turned out fantastic! The dreaded seem.... nearly non existent!!!!! Family have a hard time pointing it out! I have had granite counter Tops at a prior home installed from another company and was very disappointed and very apprehensive to go through this process again. Applegate's and the owner Lyle are wonderful can't say enough good about them.I would absolutely recommend them for all your next kitchen counter/ remodeling needs!

I found Applegate's Custom Countertops here on Google. It had good reviews so contacted them about my kitchen renovation. Lyle was prompt and professional from beginning to end. He even came by with samples because our schedule would not allow for us to get to his show room. His crew came and installed them yesterday. They are amazing, even more than we expected. They are professionals and have customer service which should be modeled after. Big thanks to Lyle, Chris and Matt. If I have any countertop needs I'll be contacting them in the future.

Lyle recently provided and installed granite countertops and a full backsplash for a home I am remodeling. His price was competitive, the workmanship was excellent and he completed the installation within the promised schedule. I would allow him to quote any future work I undertake.

Appreciate Lyle coming through for my granite countertop repair. The elbow of my kitchen countertop basically broke off and I honestly thought It was going to have to replace the whole thing. Everything got repaired and leveled properly and new supports put in. I should've took a "before" picture because it doesn't really do the repair justice how bad the original installation was. Thank you Applegate Custom Countertops.

My experience with Applegate's exceeded my expectations. They went above and beyond with helping me select countertop materials; they followed through with scheduled work; showed up on time; cleaned up work spaces beautifully. The clunky beige and country blue tiled counter tops that were in the kitchen transformed into sleek minimalist countertops with gorgeous and meticulously tiled backsplashes. I will be using Applegate's in the future for more projects. Thank you! Terri B
