Smith Company, the nation's largest single location fabricator of laminate countertops, is pleased to announce the expansion of their SQUAD quoting tool to include laminate.  Known throughout the industry as the leading expert in laminate countertop fabrication, L.E. Smith was the natural first innovator of the technology required to quote the product, and online quoting has been anticipated by many.
