Please pass along to your team, we just had the templates for our bath vanities done this morning by your technician. I wish I had gotten his name so I could identify him to you. He was outstanding! Took time to address all our questions, the details for each of the three baths, absolutely terrific. Very personable and polite. We can't be happier with the people that have come to our home from Rumford Stone.

Thank you !! I am pleased with the outcome. The quartz countertop really pulls it together. I had a very positive experience with everyone at Rumford stone. Very thorough and professional. Everyone who came to my house was very helpful and well informed. It was a pleasure for me as well.

I just wanted to say it’s been a pleasure working with you and the other staff members we’ve been in contact with. Everyone has been extremely helpful so far and really on top of things. Our renovation process has not been a smooth one by any means and I can honestly say that the team at Rumford has been one of the very few good experiences we’ve had throughout this entire process thus far! It’s so nice to see that there are still some businesses that truly care about giving great customer service and doing a job well! Thank you to all of you!

Christina & Timothy

The counters look great and the installers were awesome! You and Rumford were the bright spot in this kitchen renovation. I gave your name to one of my neighbors who is looking for counters. Not sure if you work direct but he said he was going to contact you.
