We’ve recently closed on a townhome and immediately engaged Granite Design to help us redo our counters and fireplace in the few weeks we had until our move in date. Shadi took our vision and masterfully brought it to reality well within our timeline. We are amazed with the quality of work/ attention to detail by him and his team, all while keeping a clean and organized work space during the process. We truly appreciate it. Highly recommend!

10/10 recommend! Granite Design Center is absolutely incredible! Shadi and his team were so helpful and easy to work with. They took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and made my kitchen and bathrooms look better than I could have imagined. The quality of their work is amazing, and you can tell they really care about their customers. From picking out the design to the final installation, the whole process was smooth and stress-free. Everyone was professional, friendly, and made sure I was happy every step of the way. I couldn’t be more happy with the results and would recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade their home. Thank you, Shadi and team, for your hard work and attention to detail—you made this such a great experience!

Shadi and his team at Granite Design Center did a wonderful job remodeling my 1950's house. After going through many bad experiences getting bids from other contractors, Shadi was recommended from one of my business customers who had had commercial work done with his team. Within 2 days of calling, Shadi arrived at my house with his whole team to give design ideas. My project was a whole house remodel. They took my house down to the studs, replaced all electrical, reworked the framing to expand the bathrooms and living room, installed a laundry room, installed new plumbing and moved gas lines, moved the a/c to the attic, replaced beams in the garage, refinished the kitchen cabinets, custom built new cabinets for the bathrooms and refinished the hardwood floors. The new flooring, quartz and tile work looks beautiful and I had more than enough choices to choose from at their retail store. Harold and Shawn were especially great at keeping me calm during the process. Thank you to all for making my home a home again.

I am thrilled with the exceptional work done by Granite Design Center, including Shadi, Harold, Faye & the entire team on my whole house remodel following a flood. Their team's efficiency, attention to detail, and commitment to timelines were great. The professionalism exhibited throughout the project, coupled with clear communication, made the entire process smooth. Not that there unexpected issues didn’t arise, but all were handled in a timely, respectable manner. My home now feels like a dream come true, thanks to their outstanding craftsmanship. I highly recommend Shadi & Granite Design Center for anyone in need of a reliable and skilled contractor for anything from a kitchen re-do to a whole house remodel. The finished product is amazing!

The team at Granite Design Center were amazing. This was our first big remodel and we didn’t really know what we were doing. Shadi and the team helped us from start to finish and showed a genuine caring. From the first day they came with really good advice and taught us a lot about the process. They gave us great advice and were a fantastic sounding board for any ideas we came up with along the way. Shadi’s hands on approach made us very confident throughout the process. He shows up on site every day to oversee subcontractors and ensures everything is completed up to his exacting standards. If we had questions or issues, we would bring them up with Shadi as our point person and he would make sure it was taken care of. We can’t thank the team enough for their professionalism and their craftsmanship. Our bathroom turned out better than we could have expected. We will be using them for all future renovations and I highly recommend them everyone. Their customer service really sets them apart. In a world where customer service is disappearing, it’s obvious that is one of their core tenants. Overall 100% great experience!

We contracted Granite Design Center to fully remodel our master bath. Shadi and all of his subcontractors did a masterful job from start to finish. They worked tirelessly to complete our job in a month which was half the time some of the others said and at a fair price. The plumbing was expertly handled, the tiling results are superb, the custom cabinet is exactly what I envisioned and the wall prep and painting is flawless. We had an unexpected unrelated electrical issue and they were even able to take care of that problem for us. Shadi and his crew took pride in doing their work the right way to our satisfaction and provided help and guidance along the way. Our master bathroom came out even better than expected and we will be contacting them for any future needs as well. I highly recommend them for any remodeling needs. You can see the transformation in the before and after photos.

Remodeled my dated and non-functional bathroom on a tight timeline and made it look great. Also outfitted my new office n the same short timeline. Careful attention to detail to make sure I was happy with every aspect of the project. Provided several design suggestions that made the final project look even better than I imagined.

We had some water damage in our bathroom vanity that required it to be replaced. The Team at Granite Design Center did such a great job with our new vanity design and countertop in our bathroom, that we decided to replace our countertops in the kitchen, as well as in our 2 other bathrooms. We picked our stone, reviewed the template design, and then we waited for fabrication and our install date. The price we were quoted for the work was extremely reasonable. The install was done on schedule, as promised. GDC- Specifically Shadi, Harold (our favorite person on this entire planet), Juan, and their entire crew were absolutely incredible. One of our countertops took 8 guys to carry in, and they made it look so easy. They cleaned up after the install and polished our stone really nicely. HIGHLY Recommend this place if you’re considering a home remodel/kitchen or bath remodel. 10 stars if I could. Thank you GDC!

Shadi and his crews are professional and quick. They have done six months of work on two months, and I have no idea how they pulled it off, but my ugly duckling house is now lovely. I can’t enough wonderful things about them. They have truly worked a miracle. They only use the best materials for the job and you can trust Shadi to steer you right. Everyone who wants a premium job for a fair price needs Granite Design Center. They are honest.

Very impressed with the customer service and finished job. Shadi went above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we were looking for. He came multiple times to the house to discuss option and next steps to ensure the best results. I also have to do a shout out to Harold, he was great and just such a likable guy. Highly recommend Granite Design and will definitely be back when it's time to do the master bath.

We were very pleased with Shadi and his team on this project. He would tell us exactly what time and who will be coming to our house that day and make an effort to stop by at the end of the day to ensure quality of the work done is up to his high standard. If he was unable to stop by, he would call to see how everything went and if I was satisfied with the construction. One can tell all the tiles and quartz at his center are of very high value and he would be the first person to warn you that if you're looking for low price and value, you shouldn't go to him. The project started off a little slow with demolition, plumbing and electrical work, but once shower prep was completed, everything went very smoothly. When he finally delivered my dream bathrooms to us and I had paid the last installment, his customer service didn't stop there either. When we expressed to him that we were concern that the water pressure in the rain showerheads were very low, he quickly sent his master plumber over the next day to get the problem fixed. We had told him that one of the towel hooks was installed right behind the glass shower door, he sent his right-hand man over to rectify the issue. We would not think twice to have Shadi take over any of our home project we have in the near future. We can't thank him enough for this awesome experience! In Shadi we trust!

While shopping for bathroom countertops, we just happened to stop into Granite Design and we're so glad we did! I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, they exceeded our expectations. Their selection of quartz countertops is outstanding. They have a wide variety of designs to choose from, making it easy to find the perfect match for our bathroom. The quality of their products is top-notch, and we're thrilled with the final look. Communication and professionalism was excellent throughout the process. The team was always available to answer my questions and provided a very detailed contract that laid out the entire process. They made us feel valued as a customers. Each staff member (office staff, measurer/fabricator, and installer) was courteous, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced. Finally, the installation was completed in a timely manner, actually one day earlier than planned! The team arrived on time and worked efficiently to get the job done. They treated our bathroom and quartz as if it was their own, leaving everything clean and spotless. Overall, Granite Design Center delivered an exceptional experience, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of high-quality quartz countertops. Five stars all the way! *more pictures to come after project is completed.

Shadi and his team has transformed our kitchen into a dream kitchen we always wanted. Shadi is an all round contractor with great skills in understanding customer requirements and recommending the designs fit for purpose. We remodeled our kitchen with major transformation and it wouldn’t have been possible without Shadi and his team, Chase (Carpenter), Marco (Painter), Enrique (Tiles & Backsplash) and Jose (Electrician). I am glad we met Shadi who delivered 100% on our expectations and I wouldn’t trust anyone for such a big transformation. Thanks Shadi.

We used Shadi and Granite Design Center for our kitchen countertops and backsplash after a hot water leak required a partial kitchen remodel. We shopped around at several local places, but the customer service from Shadi and team was fantastic. When I expressed hesitation about the color of the quartz for my kitchen, when he was measuring, he commented that it would go really well with cabinet and wall colors. He was right- it looks amazing!! We are so happy we chose the combination we did. We wouldn't have chosen it without personal assistance from Shadi. Communication was fast and efficient throughout the process. They are a very busy business, and when I had hoped to move up the installation since the cabinets were ready for templating, Shadi made it happen. He answered all our questions. His crew was on time, polite, and with top-notch attention to detail. Highly recommend Granite Design Center.

Discovering the Granite Design Center so nearby in Richardson and meeting Shadi was a godsend. Professional, experienced, reliable, conscientious, patient, and knowledgeable are just some of the accolades I to describe Shadi as well as his wonderful team (esp. Harold and Faye). The update to the kitchen was a great experience, Shadi (and co) pulled together and coordinated a truly great team of subcontractors for each aspect of the job that were all timely and very competent, and with his hands-on guidance I could trust that work was being done at a high standard! Shadi was welcoming and always accessible and responsiveness to even minor details of the project was reassuring and very much appreciated. Shadi's keen eye for design helped ensure the best choice of materials for the space. I would recommend GCD to anyone and want to sincerely thank them for a wonderful experience and a job well done!

We had a great experience working with Shadi and his team. He always tells us exactly when his guys would show up and always made an effort to stop by, or have someone else come by, to make sure work is done up to his high standards. His materials are of very high value, and he would warn you that if you're looking for a cheap quality and price, he's not the one you need to go with. It started off a little slow with demo, plumbing and electrical, but once shower prep was completed, everything went very smoothly. I finally have my dream bathrooms and will have to save 10 years to afford my dream master bath! I know he will still be around to help me fulfill my dream then!

Shadi and his team at the Granite Design Center - Faye and Harold - and all his fantastic subcontractors - Shawn, Chase, Luis, Jose and many more - are phenomenal, and gave me the bathroom I'd been wanting for over a decade. I went into the project with a loose idea of what I wanted and needed - an entire bathroom renovation, and Shadi helped me build on colors, styles, textures and design features. He even gave me the confidence to go with the black and white tub, which is beautiful in this space. Shadi introduced me to the great people at Isenberg Faucets to find the perfect color and style of faucets to fit my style. His crews worked relentlessly to complete the project faster than I expected. Nearly every day, including several weekends, there was someone working on the next phase of the project, keeping progress going with almost no downtime. And Shadi stopped in almost every day to make sure progress was made and met his high standards. Notably, all his tradesman really seem to enjoy working with Shadi - and they will tell you as much. The final product really speaks for itself. Take a look at the before and after pictures. It is quite possible the best room in the house is this new bathroom.

Remodeling our master bathroom with Granite Design Center was a pleasant experience. Their customer service is top notch, the project manager Shadi is involved in every step of the process and checks on work daily. The installers were professional and quick to address a couple of minor items we were picky about. The timeline for completion was also reasonably maintained, with only a short delay due the manufacturer defect on a custom part. Overall, we were highly satisfied and will go back for remodeling other parts of our home.

We had a great experience with GDC from start to finish. We were on our quest to start our first big remodeling project. After interviewing a few other companies, we decided to work with Shadi and GDC team. The project included remodeling the kitchen, two bathrooms, a wet bar, and installing new flooring throughout the house. The end product was a beautiful makeover. When we started the project, we only knew that everything had to be gutted but didn't necessarily know what we wanted to see instead. Shadi had a lot of good ideas that helped us narrow down a layout, color palette, and materials. The fact that we could get almost everything in one place was a big plus for us (materials, installation, and design service). Overall, we experienced excellent customer service and received a quality product that we love and get compliments on. We'll totally reach out to them again for a future remodeling project. Thank you!

Worked with Shadi and the GDC team on a recent kitchen remodel and the experience was great!!! Kitchen remodels are tough and can sometimes be frustrating...so choosing the right vendors and partners can be a challenge. But Shadi and the Granite Design team were on it every step of the way to make sure things went smooth and exceeded their own timeline. Shadi, Faye and Harold were easy to work with, always there to answer questions, had great follow up and a very good product line from high end to easy remodels!! With great design ideas, VERY GOOD AND EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE pricing, I am glad I chose GDC to help with my remodel. You won't be disappointed with Granite Design Center! Love my new kitchen!!

Shadi and his team did an absolutely phenomenal job on our bathroom renovation. He worked with us through every step of the process, including the design and material choices. I found him to be incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of the process. He has an acute sense of detail and impeccable taste. The work was meticulously scheduled and completed on time. When we encountered unforeseen obstacles existing behind our walls, they solved them on the spot. Pricing was upfront, honest, and more than fair. The final product was perfect and beyond our expectation. What sets him apart from every other contractor I have worked with is that it felt like he was treating our job with the same level of care that he would his own home. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

We were needing to paint our cabinets and replace our back splash and countertops. GDC Stone works did it all. They have everything you need for a complete redo. From the ground up. Their attention to detail was fantastic. From the painters, the tile layers, and the countertop installers. The owner would come by on a regular basis to make sure everything was going as planned. The work was done in record time. The products they have in store are of high quality. We are very happy with the outcome. Would highly recommend them.

Their customer service is top notch! I had a leveling issue and they came out the next day and fixed for free. Sam & Shadi are so easy to work with and really care about their customers. You are crazy if you don't stop by here for your granite needs! Oh and they have more than granite. Everything from quartz to quartzite. I would highly recommend!!!

We had Granite Design Center help us with our new kitchen. They were amazing. We were able to pick out new cabinets, work on the design right in the shop, rework layout by email. It was very easy and convenient. Once we were done with the layout and style on the cabinets we moved on to the stone. I have been in many stone retail stores but this is an experience. Large beautiful slabs set up for easy viewing, touching. We were able to put a sample of the cabinet up to the slabs to be able to choose what worked the best. The absolute best way to do this for sure. We then moved on to the floor in the kitchen. This group is very professional and have a very keen eye for detail and they are extremely knowledgeable about the products they carry and sell. AND lets not forget about the PRICE. We saved easily 30% to 40% over big box stores and we did not have to deal with a teenager who really did not know what was going on. I WILL BE BACK. Only place I will give my hard earned money to when we have an other project.

DO NOT TRUST SHADI...he is NOT good for his word. No integrity. He will change the rules mid stream to his own benefit!!! I came to him for new kitchen c-tops plus island and 2 vanity tops for a rental property. In the midst, trying to do business with him, I asked if he did flooring. I needed 4 bedrooms of carpet. He says and I quote "You can have the carpet rems I have in my warehouse. I really want to get it out and need the space. You can have it." I made a special trip to his store to look at the carpet and assess the measurements with the help of Harold. It worked so I called my installer to pick it up. All arranged. Then when I come in for a third time, SHADI tells he I can ONLY have the carpet if I place an order! Terms changed!!! I picked out remnants to try and make my job cheaper for the rental, but he quoted full price. How do they get the remnants??...from left over paid customer jobs!!! I told him I remodel houses for a living and would like to establish a relationship. I do several c-top jobs per mo. But he would not budge on full price of rems!! Furthermore, he then says his minimum price is $1695. That's high!! Pure profit for remnants! I wasted a lot of time with this joker. Save yourself the headache. DO NOT use them!!
