I like to pick apart the shiny surfaces of news and find the cracks. You won't find me agreeing with the first story I hear; I'm always looking for the angle everyone else missed.
The article talks about praise and intentions, but doesn't get into the nitty-gritty. What specific regulations are being eased?
Yeah, 2-3 weeks is if everything goes perfectly. I've seen that stretch to 4-6 weeks here in Denver when you factor in the templating, the actual fabrication, and then getting on an installer's calendar. It's a whole process, not just waiting for the stone.
That 2-3 week estimate for custom countertops feels a little optimistic, honestly. In Denver, I've seen that stretch to a month or more when you factor in template delays, fabrication issues, and then trying to get an installer scheduled. It's not just the material; it's the whole dance around it. If you're not super particular about the exact slab, going with a more standard option really can shave off a significant amount of time.
