Now that I am a home owner and have done some home improvement activities, I wanted to share some contact information of some of these service guys.
Please note that these vendors work the Philadelphia Tri-state area (there may be some exceptions)
Granite Counters
Kol Marble and Granite
www.kolgranite.com
Phone: 856-857-1430
They did a great job and have very excellent pricing. Unlike Home Depot – they will remove you existing counters at no additional charge, offers a variety of rounding and edging at no additional cost (5-15 dollars per sq ft at the depot), and they can do the job within a week of measurement (HD – up to 5 weeks)
A+ Hardwood
732-877-7576
Ask for Danielle Silva
They can come out on 48 hours notice in most situations (I gave them a week, because of my schedule). They charge by the Square Foot, not by the hour, so they are really fast (I got 800 Sq ft of hardwood, plus 200 linear ft of shoe molding done in 6 hours). As of today, they install the wood at $1.00 per square foot. Try to beat that.
Palladium Home Loans

I have to give a special shout out to Palladium. I did not use them because my brother in law owns the company and he asked me to use someone else, but I would have. Steve guided me through everything and watched my back. He really knows what he is doing. If you are buying a home, I suggest you use Steve, he won’t let you ruin yourself.
Wells-Fargo
I have to see if Vince wants the shout out… will get back to you on this.
I also have to see if Brad wants a plug as well (Long & Foster)
I will post a video of the before and after stuff soon.
