Yes, you have to tell them to change the registration of the zone to point
to the granitecanyon.com servers.  Also, you want them to stop billing you
for the "under construction" page.

The numbers in parentheses should be part of the SOA record, not the RP
record.  And the RP record needs an additional parameter, the name of a TXT
record that describes you.  I believe the granitecanyon.com FAQ explains
how to construct the RP record.

For mail, you should add:

buildershardware.net. IN MX 10 buildershardware.net.
