Yes. Agreed. After Cny. I done my house few yr back and rushing before Cny. Dun expect to have a gd quality of workmanship as many is rushing on yr end. (My ID is honest to tell me which I have prepared. Lucky it turn out well) You can still discuss with them before Cny and start work after that. I guess they will still keep up a gd service during this period.
Corian Top is also easily scratched. To my opinion it is the same as Solid surface just that it is a higher grade made of Acylic. No worries for the Granite backsplash as it is silicon sealed, although it is 90 degree joint.
