8/17/26 Update: apparently the project manager (at the time) had told Joe that all the repairs and adjustments were completed so he would get paid. As soon as Joe saw my review, he contacted me to make sure that everything was done to my satisfaction. His cabinet guy came by this morning and fixed all the problems. He even wiped down all the cabinets. A job well done! I have now given this company 5 stars as I am now very happy. I hired Joe to do cabinets and countertops. He seemed like a nice guy. From the beginning there were delays. After months and many, many phone calls (on my part) and excuses (on their part) my kitchen was installed. In the process they broke my microwave and I had to replace it. I advised Joe and his cabinet guy that a drawer front and a cabinet door were crooked and needed to be fixed. Joe said it would be fixed but then in another call said he was having business problems and would get back to me when they were sorted out. That was 2 years ago and I haven't heard from him since. I'm extremely disappointed and unhappy. I have been dealing with a sick husband or I would have left this review earlier.

We patronized, and would again, Countertop Rock (CR) in the metropolitan Phoenix area for several reasons: 1. CR’s communication is stellar from cradle to grave; 2. We appreciated the clarity of the scheduled work outlined when considering their services; 3. They indicated flexibility, within reason, regarding project creep should we want to modify or add to its scope (which we did); 4. No contracting job occurs flawlessly…CR has the resources to readily leverage labor and materials to fill any gaps and the inevitable. Our experience began when we initially called no less than 5-8 contractors looking for options on full kitchen/bathroom cabinet refacing, extending existing kitchen cabinets to the ceiling, replacing kitchen countertops and adding cabinets to the laundry room including a functional sink w/countertop. Several providers never answered their phone or called us back and the others that did required us to take measurements before they’d even come to our home. (Eventually, after pressing this issue, we were told this is industry standard, however, the likely motivations are these companies assume their time is going to be wasted and/or they prioritize full cabinet replacement over refacing) Joe Ricciardi, Countertop Rock, is the only service provider who actually answered the phone and immediately scheduled a visit to our home. He was on time (all appointments), clean-cut, has a professional demeanor and effortlessly creates a relaxed rapport, all while continuously developing a renovation strategy based on LISTENING to our ideas and then guiding us through our Q&A. He took measurements (which we would’ve gotten wrong left to our own devices after watching Joe); showed us examples of previous jobs; provided samples of color schemes, textures and styles; created a timetable and clearly discussed expectations (which only wavered slightly throughout the project because we added to the job) and lastly provided an estimate for the job that only increased slightly, because we added to the job. In short CR, Joe, is the only service provider who demonstrated a true hunger for our business and therefore he earned ours. As the work began, we decided to add on to the job by having three counters in different bathrooms replaced; Joe had us visit the ‘yard’ where lovely pieces of granite leftover from other jobs created gorgeous upgrades to our bathrooms at discounted prices making those rooms really pop. In summary, it took about a month to complete all the work outlined above; the job ran efficiently and as described. In hindsight, the lack/absence of communications and preconditions of the other service providers led us to Countertop Rock, and we’re thankful it did as we can’t imagine having gone with another provider. So we wholeheartedly recommend Countertop Rock as your cabinet and countertop specialists…its family owned and run; we always felt safe with their workers; everyone was obviously the best in their space; and CR conducted itself at all times as an experienced and quality solution to our home renovation and set us up for great success regarding our home’s resale.

After many months of looking and trying to find someone I could trust and have the style of cabinets and granite I was looking for. I landed with counter top rock. I called in and a woman named Laura took my phone call. Instantly I felt like I was talking to friend. The honesty and price sold me instantly. The owner even called me and thanked me for the business. Great quality, great prices. ❤️

Recently used Countertop Rock for new counters in a kitchen, and two bathrooms, and 100% will be using them again in the future. They were a referral from a friend (for whom they've done counters in two of his houses), and I was not disappointed. I received multiple quotes from other countertop companies, Home Depot, Lowes, etc, and Countertop Rock was not only among the lowest priced, they were able to get the counters installed in two weeks (and the home is about 1.5 hours outside of Phoenix, requiring additional consideration!). Other companies quoted out 4-8 weeks, and significantly higher in cost. At their showroom in Tempe, there was plenty of great selection, and Hunter (our sales rep) was very easy to work with, and communicated well via phone and text. There was excellent communication throughout the process, and when there was a snag, the owner (I believe it's Joe..my apologies if incorrect) personally reached out to us. Very impressed by the attention to customer service. Lastly, they did a great job, as the counters were difficult due to a "unique" design created by the original owners of my home. Seams were done perfectly, and the edges and cuts were made precisely. I highly, highly recommend this company and will be doing counters with them on my next home.

Spend the extra money and go elsewhere for quality work and service! Even if it's a small kitchen or bathroom job! Heath is terrible to deal with and highly incompetent. The sink cut out made by Countertop Rock was several inches off from the sink base cabinet and there was no guidance or help on bathroom sink faucets or drain pipes, which was an issue because Countertop Rock cuts out the faucet holes and installs their own sinks. I bought what I thought were good faucets and drain pipes and found out they were the wrong type and Heath couldn't think of a way to fix it. After doing MY OWN research I was able to resolve it. It would have helped to have recommedations on preferred faucets and drain pipes but that'd be asking too much of an already inept individual. The installers who came to put in the countertop were nice and efficient. Hunter was communicative and as helpful as possible. This 1 star review is earned solely by Heath - Great job buddy, keep it up!

Had a great experience when talking over the phone and through email with the owner. Very prompt and professional. The exact opposite could be said of his main guy, Heath. Sadly he was the one I worked with when it came to the actual job. Most days didn't show up till the afternoon. One day he rescheduled at 1pm. One day he didn't show up at all. Called and texted with no reply. Finally, at 330 in the afternoon he answered his phone to say something came up. No apology for being disrespectful of my time. Missed 2 days of work for nothing. To top it off he wrote down the wrong measurements and I've got a counter 9" shorter than we discussed. Again no apology. I should have measured myself, before signing the contract. On the positive side, the other installers were friendly and respectful. Price was competitive.

I shopped all over the Az and this place by far has the best customer service and prices. Anthony Thomas our salesman went above and beyond the call of duty to help us and make our kitchen beautiful! If your considering new counter tops ask for Anthony he is all about pleasing the customer and making sure everything comes out perfect. This is the place to use for your remolding projects.

Countertop Rock just completed our new kitchen remodel including cabinets and counters, as well as a new countertop for an updated bathroom vanity that we previously purchased. Joe was easy to work with and runs his operation with integrity and transparency. His installer, Noe, was an incredible worker with excellent skills and communication. When we weren't pleased with one particular part of the design after seeing it, Joe and Noe fixed it to our satisfaction without additional expense. My wife and I highly recommend their service.

I thought I had removed this review many years ago. My bad, but since we are still assessing how the business is run, just checkout a reply eleven years later. Yes, it is about a charge, which was more than 30.00, but how would you feel if a business comes and says it's more than quoted and you are charged (totally unknowingly) extra fees. Read the review, Mr business owner. I said nothing about the product, just the surprise charge at the end. Any "good" business man would apologize for the miscommunication and refund the surprise charge. I'm just sharing how the business treated me. Do you remember offering me more than $100 to remove my review?? Probably not. Now I'll leave the review for your new customers to educate them on a simple fee that should be communicated by you. I'm may remove it later. Hope business is good. Cheers. One final note. Look how Joe R. (Business owner) responds to any valid negative feedback. So unprofessional.

Joe and the team installed new counter tops in our kitchen. There were some bumps along the way; outlets had to be raised, cook top wiring got messed up, and the job took longer than we would have liked, but Joe provided a discount for the issues we had, and the final result is outstanding. My wife and I are happy customers.

Countertop Rock rocks! had the best experience and our new kitchen and bar counters are beautiful! Joe, the owner, was honest, experienced and knowledgeable. Took only 2 days to transform the counters, from demolish to installation. Received many quotes and choosing Countertop Rock was the best decision we made to renovate my home. Would refer Countertop Rock to anyone interested in updating their homes. You won't be disappointed in choosing Countertop Rock for your home's needs so call Joe today!

CTR has the best INTEGRITY and remained transparent whole heartedly with our best interest in mind. Can't say enough for all of their employees, Hunter, Josh and now Abigail that have walked us through these past 14 painful months of PURE STRESS!! I ordered cabinets from some local yahoo wholesaler....THE START OF OUR FAMILY NIGHTMARE! I should of just canceled and went with Joe from CTR but I didn't want to pay a 30% restocking fee for canceling our order with those yahoos.... I truly have lived to regret that decision!!! I should of ran... ran so fast and far from that wholesaler... they lack experience, integrity and most of all they have zero customer service!! We had to seek legal advice against that other company!! It was a nightmare!! Finally 14 months later not only is CTR coming to the rescue to save our family from this nightmare but they are beyond caring and kind to us. I can not SCREAM LOUD ENOUGH HOW WE APPRECIATE CTR!! The wisdom that Abigail has and her work ethic in pressing me to think of life in the kitchen while laying out a kitchen professionally is priceless!! Abigail's experience is far better then any big house HD or Lowe's rep ever. We have been on this endeavor for 14 months and spoke to so many people, take it from this mom of 6, I will save you the headache and heartache, CTR is the only way to go. You are in good hands with CTR! Do NOT fall for the wholesale warehouse lies...RUN TO CTR! I can finally see light at the end of this tunnel! Thank you CTR for always staffing reputable employees that are so knowledgeable. They all looked at my bad install and knew immediately that it was a full replacement needed from day 1. That is exactly what the ROC granted us as well. So glad we get to have CTR install our kitchen, restores our faith with a real contractor, we know it will be built with integrity!!! Will post our beautiful kitchen after CTR installs Cabinets and Quartz countertops! Thanks CTR! You are our family contractor forever!

Initial impression wasn't bad and had them out for a full estimate. HIgher than we were led to believe initially, but liked Hunter. Joe, the owner couldn't have seemed less interested in us. Found out by talking to other contractors that Countertop Rock was charging us over $400 each above their cost for our slabs. No other contractor did that. We were led to believe they'd save us money because the had their own fabrication shop.....yeah right. When asked about the markup on the slabs, initial response was to protect them if they damaged a slab and had to replace it (that's my problem?). I said fine, and if you don't damage any you'll return the overcharge to me. Then the tune became "we're entitled to make a profit"...companies that don't charge more for labor" ....Nonsense. We used 5 slabs, and the excellent work we had done by an excellent fabricator was $400+ dollars times 5 less than these guys. Don't get taken advantage of.... And now Joe the owner decides to get personal AND lie. We NEVER asked for cheapest anything and in fact we didn't have a budget but would spend what we had to for what we wanted........He's showing his true personality I guess. In high school I learned "Caveat Emptor" in Latin class......it means buyer beware.....I'm done with this guy and his lies and name calling. Which it seems is how he responds to every negative review........lol

Contacted this company for a bathroom countertop & sink redo. Joe said he would send me a photo of a piece of quartz the size I needed. He never sent the photo nor did he respond to 3 messages left on his phone. If he was too busy to do a small job, a phone call to that affect would have been appropriate in my estimation. Call him but don't be surprised if you are ignored.....just a word of caution.
