How the scorecards work

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the company, compared with the other countertop shops here. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from hundreds of people counts for more than a 5.0 from a smaller group. Recency shows how recently customers are still leaving reviews.

What drives countertop pricing in Albuquerque

Reviewers mention clear estimates, affordable selection and varied stone choices, and the total moves with the material, the slab, the square footage, edge details, sink cutouts and whether old tops need removing. Ask for an itemized quote that names the slab.
