Contractor miscalculated countertop space and cut the slabs

[Ns1]

Update:

Today we went together to the granite shop again, and picked up a peninsula slab which is wider and bigger. A mention that 2 of our friends who he sent the estimates to last week are now waiting for our word convinced him to pony up without a fight. He returned the extra slab, paid the premium for the exchange and a peninsula slab, and will eat the cost for making the edge (and one less seam) on the cut from peninsula piece.

bravo!

Good to hear. It doesn't bother me when someone screws up, it's all about how they handle themselves once they realize they screwed up.

Hope he's more careful in the future. That's quite the expensive lesson to recheck all math and measurements.
