Growing up in the Orange County, California area, life was easy. We had a great house that my father had practically paid for and I had a wonderful mother who was truly an incredibly resourceful cook. She could create delicious three-course meals out of whatever she could find in the refrigerator. This talent became very important after my father’s death and my mother had to work twice as hard to keep the growing stomachs of my 2 brothers and I full. Growing up in Orange County with a single parent was an experience that broadened my perspective. It was hard to keep up with the Joneses while we were surrounded by so many seemingly well-to-do families, but my mother always made sure we had enough to eat and clean our clothes. She always knew that one day she would repay him for all those tireless nights she spent in our kitchen.
Now that I’m older and my career is on the fast track, I know it’s time to get my sweet mom the kitchen of her dreams. She still lives near Laguna Hills and I’ve been making a long list of all the ways to improve her tired kitchen. I figured the first step in this long but rewarding process was to remove our old countertop and install a massive, heavy granite countertop. Not to mention I want to support a local business, but after calling to find the best kitchen countertop dealer in Orange County, it became clear that a “fit on top” solution would be my best option. It would save a lot of time during the installation process, and because of the durability of your modern stone countertops, it would be the perfect long-term remodeling solution.
