In an April 2026 Google review, a customer says Surface Creations of Maine took 13 days from choosing countertops to completed installation. A March 2026 customer had quartz kitchen counters in less than two weeks from first walking into the store; an October 2026 customer who came in frustrated by a different shop says it was three weeks from the first meeting to installation. Surface Creations works out of a warehouse and showroom on Rice Street in Portland, Maine, where customers walk the slabs and pick the piece they want. It fabricates and installs stone countertops — quartz, granite, quartzite — for kitchens and baths, and holds 4.4 stars from 81 Google ratings. In a March 2026 review, a general contractor who has been designing and installing kitchens for 25 years names the owner as Jill and calls Jen an incredible project manager. In a September 2026 review, installer Justin noticed an uneven polish on one countertop and Tollison and Raymond came back to fix it. In a July 2026 review, Tolly, the templater, spotted a small fabrication error while installing a backsplash, remeasured, and the corrected backsplash went in three days later. An April 2026 customer says Jennifer Cruz kept searching until she found quartzite slabs for a primary bath, and a December 2025 customer had a quartz top cut for a custom island with non-typical geometry. In a June 2026 2-star review, a couple who walked in waited 18 minutes, were promised a quote by June 9, and say they never got a call or email about it. In a June 2025 1-star review, a customer says a granite piece was cut too short, the recut took a month, and the installers cracked the top of their new range putting in the backsplash; seven weeks later they were still waiting to be reimbursed. A May 2025 customer says the counters were installed backwards with logos and QR codes showing and the company would not make it right. A January 2025 customer reports a scratched sink and refrigerator, a crooked faucet hole and uneven island overhang, and says the company gave a $500 credit and came back to try to fix the sink scratches and the island. In an August 2024 review, a Lowe's customer describes no-shows, counters put on the wrong truck, a damaged large piece, a redelivered piece that did not meet spec, a Friday evening delivery that never came, and a fourth delivery the following Monday that was not the section of the slab they had selected for the island. In an October 2022 1-star review, a customer says the company asked for $500 because it had to park its truck on the street, and in a June 2023 1-star review, a reviewer says their sister's island was broken at the shop and the replacement took almost a month.

From the first contact, to viewing material in the warehouse, templating and install, Surface Creations provided first class service and an excellent product with great communication through out the process. I highly recommend them.
Very happy with the end result! The work crew was professional in all aspects of the installation. Jen and her staff were a pleasure to work with. They listened well and gave us spot on choices to pick from. All in a professional and relaxed atmosphere. Thanks again to everybody at Surface Creations!
We had a bad experience with a different shop and came into Surface Creations frustrated and pretty annoyed with the whole process. Bad timelines, poor customer service, etc, AND THEN Surface Creations, led by Brit and Jen, made extra time for us, treated us great, and from our first meeting to full and glorious installation was THREE WEEKS. Our counters look awesome, the guys who installed them took great care, and the whole process was just great. Aaaahhhhhhh. Kitchen remodels can be so long and crazy-making. This chapter of our own remodel was great. Thank you guys for your hard work and follow-through.
I had a great visit at Surface Creations yesterday. I selected countertop material for my kitchen. The woman who helped me from the front desk, to the slab room and through the ordering process was such a fun person to work with. She was very knowledgeable and referred me to another person with that information. It was actually a fun vist and I walked away with a counter selected with confidence.
From start to finish, the whole team was professional, clear with instructions, on time and responsive. Jen was so patient with us as we waffled over which stone to choose. Tollison was thorough and meticulous doing the templating. On the day of the install, Justin was efficient and professional, and he also noticed an uneven polish on one countertop. Tollison and Raymond came out and fixed it as soon as possible. Our counter is beautiful and we are so happy with this upgrade.
