Our kitchen has gone from drab and old to modern and stunning thanks to the beautiful new stone bench top! Loran & Bek were so helpful and the installers were great young guys. I'll be recommending their services to my friends and family.

We chose Granite Transformations for our kitchen in our newly renovated house and we couldn't be happier. Fromthe start we had an idea of how we wanted it to look and the Granite Transformations team were able to make it happen. From design to installation each staff member was extremely professional and friendly. Bek and Loran guided us through the whole process and helped us to achieve just the finish we wanted. We LOVE our new kitchen. Thank you so much.

This was our second job done by the Granite Transformation team in Coffs Harbour, and as expected we were once again delighted by the result. Not only was the workmanship perfect as normal, but the work was also done by the same efficient, friendly and professional staff, which says a lot about this company.
We have no hesitation in recommending GT to anybody who is looking to do kitchen or bathroom renovations.

We would like to commend Granite Transformations for the wonderful job they did with the complete renovation of our bathroom and ensuite, as well as a partial kitchen makeover. We were impressed with their professionalism and skilled team of tradesmen. In fact, the co-ordination of the 'tradies' is a key factor in their success. Chris with the design aspect and Bek with the office administration were brilliant - nothing was too much trouble for them, and we are thrilled with the end result.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Granite Transformations Coffs Harbour. It was a very pleasant experience having them to do our makeover. Within 5 days our old kitchen was transformed. Everyone acted in a professional and polite manner - from advice given in the office to the local tradesmen that came at their appointed times. There was no mess and all the old appliances were disposed of. The new stone benchtop was fitted by a craftsman. Thank you Luke, we are really thrilled with the finish.

I have just had a kitchen makeover by Granite Transformation Coffs Harbour and am absolutely thrilled with the results. The tradesmen that were involved with the makeover, including Matt the installer, Kyle the plumber, Dave the plasterer, the electrician, were just wonderful, nothing was a problem for them. They were courteous and cleaned up any mess that was made. I told them I would clean up but they said no, cleaning comes with the job.
Thanks to Bek and Loran who were so helpful to me and calmed me down when I got anxious.

We are writing to tell you how delighted we are with our 'transformed kitchen'. It not only looks brilliant but it's so practical; such a vast improvement on its replacement.
To begin, we want to thank you and your office staff for the guidance given to us in the planning stage. Their advice and suggestions were very helpful and appreciated.
We would also like to pay tribute to your on-site staff and subcontractors. Rather than list them in a way that might look as though we found some better than others, which we didn't, the following alphabetical order groups them equally as worthy of praise: Burt, Grant, Luke, Mana, Mark, Michael and Nathan. They were extremely courteous, highly skilled, great team-work members, hard-working, accurate, attentive to detail, knew how to "go that extra mile", were anxious to please, careful to achieve the best finish, tidy, ensured surrounding areas were free of obstacles and always pleasant in their responses to our queries and requests. We are sure you must be extremely proud of each and every one of them.
Finally, to you and all members of staff, a very special thank you for working so earnestly to promote the outstanding and respected 'Granite Transformations' brand. We would be very happy to recommend your firm to anyone seeking to modernise their kitchens, believing they would find the best possible products and service on the market.

This is to thank you for the tremendous job you have done in renovating our kitchen. After 25 years of use it really needed an overhaul but, as I hate mess, I kept putting it off. After seeing your advertisement I felt putting the granite over the top of the existing benchtops would mean the kitchen would not have to be completely destroyed as with other renovations.
You exceeded my wildest hopes as the benches were transformed in one day from worn to magnificent. I returned home at 3 o'clock to find no mess but a new look kitchen. I would happily recommend your business to anyone. The new wooden doors are also a great success - the craftsmanship is excellent. Your competition in Coffs Harbour does not compare in attitude, service or product.
The new kitchen has been in place for over 8 months now and it looks the same as the day it was installed. The surface is impervious to wear and I'm sure it would look as good in 50 years as it does now.

Good service is difficult to find in Coffs Harbour. Whenever we have work to be done, we always dread it, and consider whether we really need to get someone in. Granite Transformations Coffs Harbour can be proud of its service and product.
Please pass on our thanks and gratitude to those concerned.

The new benchtop was an exercise in good service and excellent workmanship by your courteous staff with precise timing and a minimum of fuss.
Without doubt the best upgrade carried out in our house and there have been quite a few.
The benchtop is beautifully finished and is a credit to the product and your company and staff.
We have no hesitation to recommend you in the future.

I brought in pictures out of magazines of my dream kitchen and the staff at Granite sourced all the columns, corbels, brass knobs and rustic beams I had asked for. Loran sat with me and helped me with my design. I felt understood, I was given time to make decisions, I received updates frequently, hiccups were rectified without delay or blame (let's be honest - when renovating you're going to have hiccups). Cleanest tradies I've ever seen- would sweep up the mess each day & take rubbish with them. Finished the kitchen on schedule & I love it. Still a terrible cook, but at least I look good doing it.
