About This Section

Stone Top Notes covers custom countertops in Riverside, CA, in the level of detail a homeowner needs before spending money on it.

Why the Focus Is Narrow

This section does one trade in one market, and leaves the rest alone. A page trying to address every trade in every city ends up saying nothing specific about any of them, and specifics are the only part worth reading.

How the Guides Are Written

Guides concentrate on judgement calls rather than procedure. Technique belongs to the contractor, so it is covered only where a homeowner's choice depends on it.

What Guides Cannot Do

Guides describe the general case. Treat it as preparation for getting a quote rather than as a substitute for one.

Commercial Position

This is an independent publication. It describes how work is done and what it costs, and takes no position on who should do it.
