@Mark Creason  I think I would like the variation in the granite also. The next time I'm in Home Depot I'm going to have to take a look.

thanks!

@Jered Griffith thank you for all the great info--I really appreciate it!

@Vee K. 

Thanks for the info--I'm still trying to figure out what area I'd like to focus on. I didn't think I would be interested in rehabbing at first, but it looks kind of interesting. I know I'm not ready to try that yet though.

@Nicole Pettis 

Okay--I see thank you for clearing that up for me. It's 1am and I'm sitting here obsessing over granite countertops ;) Thanks for letting me know about your rule of thumb!

@Jerry W. 

We just found out about how bad the job is yesterday so it hasn't been redone yet--but we will keep that in mind about the plumber being a witness--thank you!

We inherited this house and we were renting it out for a couple of years--it's been empty since april. 

When we were up there last week, we couldn't turn on the water for the water sprinkler, so my mom called the water company and the man from the water company told her about the bad plumbing job.

He said the plumbers didn't reconnect the pipes to the outside spigot when they replaced the pipes in the house and that the pipes they used were too small and that they overcharged us for the job. He also said they've been getting a lot of complaints about this particular company.

Hello everyone,

I was just curious...I've been reading a few rehab descriptions lately and I see granite countertops mentioned quite a bit--so (currently having little knowledge of such things) I'm going to assume granite countertops are a very good (or at least desirable) thing.

I'm also going to assume that the countertops in our apartment are definitely NOT granite (even though they kind of look like they are) cause--no way.

Are granite countertops more durable?

Are they usually found in more upscale properties?

Do they come all in one piece--the counters we have look like wood with something glued on top of it.

Are they pretty expensive?

Thanks!

@Dave Toelkes 

this happened in Indiana so I'll check small claims there--thanks!

Thanks again everybody for your responses (did I mention I love this site)  ;)

@Leigh C 

lol!   okay--thanks!

@Leigh C 

it's just a little over 3000--I'll try small claims court--thank you!

Hello BP-Land,

We're thinking about filing a complaint against some plumbers that did some very shoddy work for us a few months ago, but we're not sure how to go about it. Is this something we should ask a real estate lawyer about?

Thanks!
