Direct Stone Depot Inc - Ocala, Florida

Michael McIntosh

We changed our old plastic kitchen counter tops over to granite, and Direct Stone Depot in Ocala FL really came through for us. It was a big job and Lan (the owner) advised us at every step. The entire process from stone selection to measuring, demo, and installation was fast and painless. Charges were very reasonable. and the end result was nothing short of stunning. Lan and his team are masters! One really can’t go wrong with this team. The quality of their work and eye for fine detail are truly impressive. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job on our beautiful new kitchen!

Lan and his crew far exceeded our expectations and were very easy to work with during each step of our kitchen remodel. We absolutely love our new cabinets, Granite counter top and back splash. Lan came back and made few adjustments to our cabinets and answered all of our many questions each time we called him. His prices were also substantially less than than our other estimates. His quality of work and fair prices give him 5 stars in our book. We highly recommend !

Direct Stone did an awesome job on our new kitchen. Lan worked with us to improve the layout of the cupboards and the added drawers. The workers were fast, but took care to get everything installed correctly.

After deciding to replace all the granite in our kitchen, dining area and two bathrooms we spent a fair amount of time going to area granite suppliers and installers without finding an area company that offered the variety of material options and pricing that we were looking for.
Fortunately a neighbor recommended us to visit Direct Stone Depot in Ocala, a company they had used for a similar granite remodeling project. Our neighbors were extremely pleased with both the quality of work and the pricing at Direct Stone. We initially dealt with Michelle at the front desk who was extremely helpful in explaining things and showing us different granite options. Then the company owner Lan came to our house to take exact measurements and build a template for our two level granite countertop which was fairly complicated to fabricate. Both my wife and I had independently picked out the specific granite that we liked and a couple of weeks after our decision Lan and his crew came out and did a fabulous job in the installation of the new countertops.
The workers all knew what they were doing and efficiently completed all of the project steps including the careful removal of the old granite, the installation and sealing of the new granite and the clean up afterwards.
We highly recommend Direct Stone for your consideration in a kitchen or bathroom remodeling project.

These guys did excellent work on our kitchen counters. Definitely 5 stars. Highly recommend. We found the perfect match for our cabinets at just $25 per square foot. Will upload pictures when the painting is done. You will not believe how gorgeous our kitchen turned out with this granite. The stainless sink we bought here was very high quality. Pricing was the best we found.

What can I say. We were warned that a complete kitchen remodel was going to be very stressful under the best of circumstances. Lan and his team completely burst that axiom. From the beginning of the design and quote phase to completion we were more than pleased, especially since the price of the project was 50% less than our first quote and 30% under our second quote. Even though Lan was so polite and accommodating in the design and quote phase, we were a little concerned since the price was so much less. But, after visiting the facility and seeing their work, we move forward. Two weeks later the cabinets arrived and were installed in 2 days with very little disruption of the household. When they left everything was cleaned up. The installer were very polite, although there was a language barrier. Upon installation of the new double-oven range a couple of days later we discovered the dishwasher door would not fully open without striking the lower over door handle. This was not the fault of Direct Stone at all. The original range had one single door, so there was no clearance issue. Upon calling Lan he promptly send his team back out and moved the dishwasher over 1" and everything works perfectly. We could not be happier and highly recommend them.

So, a towel holder fell out of the rack and into the sink. Of course, it cracked the sink. I called Fletcher plumbing and Dan came to my house to give me an estimate. A day later he called me and said that he could replace the sink but it would cost me $1000 plus labor. However, he knew another company Direct Stone Depot could do the job for less money. I spoke to Lan at Direct Stone Depot and he said it would cost between $500 - $600 for the sink plus labor. I felt these prices were very high especially since I googled the sink and found it to be around $130. I called a local plumber who lives in my community. Well, we had to replace both sinks in the owner's bathroom so that the color would match. The total cost for two sinks installed was $420. If I had gone with Fletcher my total cost would be $2000 plus labor. These people charge outrageous amounts for a $60 sink. I totally recommend the local plumber I hired. If I need a plumber he will be the first one I call. He is one of those rare individuals who is actually honest for someone in his

My Husband and I went to the big box stores (Lowes and Home Depot) to look at cabinets. The quality was not great and we were sticker shocked on the quality of cabinets we wanted to purchase. The granite choices were the same old same old. So we went the other route and tried to find a company that specializes in cabinets. We got some quotes but nothing compared to Lan at Direct Stone Depot Inc.

He had some unique ideas to make our dreams come true, much to my husbands chagrin. LOL. What we got was exactly what we wanted. Lan spent hours with us, working until he got our design ideas on computer templates then found the perfect cabinets and granite.

Installation was 2 visits and the cabinets were installed very well. His crew knew what they were doing and went about the task very efficiently. They cleaned up, waxed the cabinets vacuumed the floors and were gone.

We were very happy with the end product. Happy with the service (Michelle at the front desk is very sweet and knowledgeable) Lan is very accommodating.We are just plain happy with the whole experience and the price-my husbands favorite part!! 🙂
Needless to say we also did our 2 bathrooms using Lan at Direct Stone Depot Inc.
I would not hesitate to give him a glowing reference. Lan took pictures and I hope he posts on his site.
