I stumbled upon Alloway last week while in the area recertifying my CPR/First Aid. Horrible me did not get the name of the very courteous lady who offered me some tips on Thursday, but Gabe was a great help for my wife and I last Saturday. After explaining and showing him pictures of our lighting situation at home, he offered a few choices on how to update our lighting to the best options. We did not ending up going through their catalogue options, but rather found pendants and a very unique chandelier hanging right in the showroom that suited our tastes. I can't wait until the order arrives so we can have a new look in our kitchen area. Pricing here will be higher than what you'll typically find in the box stores, but it's worth the extra pennies to have that one on one tailored approach and better quality in a product you are not changing out on a weekly basis.

We had a really good experience with Alloway in quick response to our request for assistance…read more Timely. Efficient, Skilled. Professional. Courteous. They charge by the hour for the work they do and we thought the final billing was reasonable and as we expected for the time involved from a skilled electrician. The fact that the electrician was such a nice guy was frosting on the cake. We needed two electrical issues cared for on relatively short notice - one involving a faulty smoke detector in a guest bedroom and the other isolating a cooktop circuit from existing kitchen adding an additional GFI. Neither major and the second not a code issue when our custom home was built five years ago but called out in a home inspection as recommended by the inspector as good idea and so we agreed to care for it. In our "past life" in other states where we also had custom homes built, we would have called the electrician who wired the home for the general contractor and they would have been responsive in no time. But in Eagle, the subs who worked for our (miserable experience) builder could care less about follow up after the fact. And so we asked an excellent realtor who her office might recommend to be responsive to care for these things and Alloway it was. In our belief that people who do good work themselves know people who do good work, this turned out to be a top notch recommendation. Alloway was able to have an electrician come out the day after my husband called them. Jerry arrived exactly in the "between X:00 and Y:00" service time window He checked both issues and explained what he would do to correct them. In both cases an additional piece-part was needed and in the case of one which was a new plug and to match the 'designer' plugs already in the kitchen backsplash and not something he had in his truck, he made a trip to a lighting supplier get one so all would be just right at install to coordinate with all the others. Not only did he do a great job, he was courteous and friendly and overall delightful to have in our home. And here I'd like to add a comment to balance out a 1 star review I see for Alloway on Yelp. It is this. Alloway charges by the hour. The other reviewer was unhappy that the electrician took the time to put his boots on and lace them when exiting her home to go to his truck and taking time to unlace the boots and take them off when he entered her house again after returning from his truck. But these guys, the guys in trades of all kinds, are doing that to protect homeowner flooring since work boots get dirty. I guess as a result of that review, Alloway's policy is now that their electricians slip on "protection booties" over their boots inside a home and slip them off when needing to go outside and on again coming in and... When I told Jerry no need for the 'booties' from my point of view, I was completely fine with work boots on the wood floors and I never expect guests to remove their shoes, he said it was company policy. So, thanks to them for taking care with homeowners floors. Another professional touch. But I'd be perfectly happy to pay the time for the couple of minutes max it takes them to put boots on and off too if that's what they preferred. We would use Alloway again...boots on or boots off!

There were several issues, but the biggest one is they cut one of the beams 1/2" short which is very noticeable. When we asked them to replace the beam they first said it was within "threshold" even though the rest of the beams are flush and do not have a space. After continuing to ask them to fix the beam they said they would not be responsible for the structure AND WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE BEAM AND THEIR LABOR. This clearly shows their lack of craftsmanship. No craftsman would say 1/2" off on a board was within threshold. For another issue we had their technician changeout silver bolts on a black structure (which should never have been silver since the remainder of the bolts were black) and didn't even have a drill. We would definitely not ever recommend this company to anyone.

GREAT PRODUCT DISPLAYS They have many of the options displayed in big format installs on walls in the showroom or on the walkways outside the building. This makes it much easier to evaluate the fit of product for your home than using a small sample board as is what is available in some other sellers. This was our fourth custom home project but the first in Idaho and in other venues we used real, full dimension stone for exteriors house trims and inside for fireplaces too.. We found in this area manufactured stone veneers were "the thing" but we wanted the look of real stone. Full dimension stone was cost prohibitive here and in doing our research, we found Rocky Mountain Supply. Through the crew there we had a chance to not only learn about real stone veneer but they also carried the one we wanted. HELPFUL STAFF Although I'm sure the staff here work mostly with the masonry and hardscape trades, the nice and expert men were ultra helpful to my husband and me when we were looking for the "just right" real stone veneers to use on our new home build and were getting zero assistance from our builder in that regard. (Here's a tip. If building in this area, we recommend avoiding Tradewinds Construction.) The staff was also able to advise us on the kinds of questions we should be asking the builder and mason for installation ins and outs using this particular 'new to us' material. FOLLOWED THROUGH If we were building again in the Treasure Valley, Rocky Mountain Supply is a supplier we would use again. They were easy for us to work with, they were easy for mason to work with and they had the product he needed available when he needed it. We recommend Rocky Mountain. THIS N THAT: 1) PARKING: Small private lot. 2) ACCESSIBILITY: Although they have no marked accessible (aka ADA required) parking, there is a ramped up, paver surface to the door and the store is on one level throughout.
