Hi guys, did an inspection on some granite countertops yesterday. Client is mad and doesn't want to pay because the contractor did a crappy job.
Some of it can be fixed, some can't. The bar sink is 1/2" out of square, looks really awful, overhang is different everywhere, chips, etc.
One of my biggest concerns, and this is what I'm looking for documentation on, is the sink wall seam. The guy joined two pieces of granite in the middle of the stainless steel sink, right down the middle of the faucet hole. With the stresses of pots in/out of the sink and people pulling on the faucet, I just don't see this lasting. He also seamed down the middle of the cooktop.
I've heard urban legend that these seams in the middle of appliances aren't allowed. Never seen actual doc's. Anyone know a reference to some standard?
Thanks, Markus
