I am ecstatic with my kitchen and bath remodeling projects that Showcase Design did for me. I…read moreneeded new countertops, backsplash, sink/faucet, and lighting in my kitchen, plus a new glass shower in one bathroom and wallpaper removal and painting in another. From the minute I stepped into the Showcase Design showroom and was met by Cassie, I was treated as if I were their number-one priority, all the way to the finish. Cassie is the greatest as their frontline rep. She is pleasant, professional, and patient. Jill and Frank, the owners, are extremely knowledgeable with many years of experience, and both are a treasure to work with. Frank and his crew came out to the house and took measurements, and one of the best parts is that they showed up on time! This is often a rarity in the service industry these days, so I greatly appreciated that. All of the people on their team, including Jeff, who did the shower glass, Paul, the electrician, J.C., who did the backsplash, Ron, the painter, the countertop crew -- everyone -- were personable, very experienced, and a pleasure to work with. The countertops were installed in just one day, and the backsplash took only two. The wallpaper removal and painting took a while, as we were told it would, but otherwise the whole process was flawless. I love these people. One of the hallmarks of their business is the personal touch brought on by Jill, the owner, who practically lives on her email in order to give customers immediate feedback and answers. Nights, weekends, it did not matter. Jill treated me as if a red carpet had been rolled out, and she addressed every topic with cheerful helpfulness. Best of all was how thorough and patient she was, and I'm here to tell you that this counted for a lot since there were over 100 email exchanges on these projects! She's great. I'm one of those highly detailed ("picky") people who likes to have things be just right, and Showcase Design never missed a mark. I had started out getting a quote from another local company (I won't name names), but I received a cold reception as they constantly told me, almost as if bragging, about how they were too busy to help me, with no indication that I would ever be able to get on their schedule. All I wanted was an initial consultation and to get on their schedule for the future, no matter how far off. I felt I was being pretty lenient (I mean, how many of their customers walk in the door and say I'm not in any sort of rush?), given that I came in during the summer and was asking for a January start date. But because I was treated coldly, I looked elsewhere. How lucky I was to come upon the great reviews of Showcase Design of Apex! Everything in my baths and kitchen looks great -- from the frameless glass shower, the wallpaper removal and painting, the white glossy subway tile backsplash, the wonderful stainless sink and faucet, to the crowning glory, the Silestone Calacatta Gold quartz countertops -- just breathtaking. I could not be more pleased. I highly recommend Showcase Design, and Jill, Frank, Cassie, and all their crew, for your next renovation/remodel project.

From the first day they came to give us a quote they showed up on time and continued to be on time or EARLY.

We love our new kitchen and will continue to use them for any future kitchen or bathroom work!

People on phone site were friendly and helpful, plenty of stones to choose from in a variety of patterns and colors. There was some confusion over whether an item marked "sold" actually was (spoiler alert: it wasn't) so make sure to ask if you like a particular one even if it's marked (especially given the stone deliveries come infrequently). Brian and the installer crew were punctual, friendly, careful and meticulous (as was the initial measurement and selection of stone sections for the parts of the kitchen for best effect). Clearly these guys knew what they were doing, and it showed. That said we are a detail-oriented house and noticed (over time) some small issues (a small seam that needed some revision as well as a stain left by a silicone drain mat (advice: don't use them if you have white stone)). Suffice to say Brian returned three times, listened, was friendly and made the needed changes. The company really stands behind their work which is both rare and very appreciated. Our sincere thanks to Brian and the team at BU--we are very happy with our countertops and backsplashes and have received many positive comments on both the materials and workmanship. We highly recommend them for your countertop needs.

I have had dealings with various Ferguson Home showrooms over the years. The relationship has…read morealways been positive. My most recent interaction with the one serving the Durham-Raleigh market has been equally satisfying. Recent acquisitions included floating luxury vinyl plank flooring and a handicap folding shower chair with legs. Client services was very helpful, especially regarding the latter. Items were shipped promptly and everything arrived damage free. There are other sources for many of the products I have purchased from Ferguson's but none beat their customer service and rarely their quality vs price points. As a retired home/interior designer and life-long remodeler, I highly recommend Ferguson home.

When we freed up money for the larger scope to include the kitchen, were told suddenly that it was a mistake and would cost more. --Wrong roof was installed on the deck. Instead of being charged the difference in the cost of the materials, we were charged for the cost of the materials and install without the usual mark-up. --Wrong lights installed in bathroom. --Bedroom door opened in front of window. Design error, but we were still charged for a change to the bi-parting door. --Wrong color paint on front hall wall. Told it was close enough until I hacked out a piece of old wall and had it matched myself --No air return planned for --AC move not thought about by design team or engineers. More than 2000USD to move it to a place that would allow us to hear each other talk on the deck. Chose to have someone else do that. --Generator mis- installed. When I shared link with that installation information, was ignored. New board installed. Still problem. Generac guy came out, was indeed installation. --Water in crawl space and lake around generator and front of house --New floor needed the contract pulled out to ensure no corners were being cut.

Getting new ones and having them installed to the same specifications was a weeks long problem --Floor needed redoing, not once but twice. I have been told repeatedly that a floor has 6 sandings in it, and we are now 3 in --Drainage and waterproofing for the addition was not properly planned for or executed --Entire project was supposed to be done mid-May even with the few days delay caused by changing the foundation to pass inspection. It is now the last week September. --Not one single inspection was passed the first time.

I had a return and quickly found customer service because of its proximity to the entrance. The return process was swift and seamless thanks to Jaylen. After my return, I asked if I would be allowed to make an online purchase at the customer service desk, to which the response was an immediate yes. I was elated to have this process done with an excellent associate! Knowing I was making a purchase in-store, I was initially worried that the price would be different from the one online; however, their online sale was matched, and I was granted the discounts I had saved for this purchase! Associate Jaylen also noted that I could have my items delivered to the store I was visiting. This will further ensure proper delivery and personally alleviate my worries with shipping large furniture to my home. I was treated very kindly, and the customer service clerk had the patience of a saint during the entire interaction. I will always choose Home Depot over any competitors. Phenomenal customer service! 10/10! Also, I don't know how to add my name to the header area of this comment because this is my first time commenting on Yelp, haha.

Seek an alternative to United Granite and avoid hate and discontent in the future!…read more I'll try to keep offer you an abridged and more detailed review, depending on what kind of reader you are. Contributors who get too emotional and write long rants about a business or service are generally dismissed. Plus, if you're lazy, like me, you won't read anything that's too long. The most important takeaway is that I'm presenting facts, not opinions. So, I highly suggest that if you are in need of natural/stone materials (marble and granite), you read this review and consider avoiding United Granite. I've had nothing but trouble with United Granite from the jump. For those who are impatient, lack the time to read a long review, or haven't taken their Adderall, here's the short version. - Customer Service: Poor (UG doesn't stand by their work, doesn't stand by their products/materials, and repeatedly told me why they couldn't correct the problems I was having with my new granite surround while continually reminding me that I was lucky to get the purchase price I received for this particular type of granite because the price per square foot increased since the original purchase date. What are those problems? Two cracks. One upon installation, which they did a reasonable job collecting, and the second, appearing for no discernible reason at all over the holidays. Strangely, this second crack was in the flat horizontal cross-piece of granite at the top of the surround. When I contacted UG about this, they said there was nothing they were willing to do, and essentially refused to send anyone out to even take a look at the issue and try to correct it) - Tech/Installer Proficiency: Below Avg (template technician was totally lost and the installers made excuses as to why they couldn't or wouldn't do things that I've since learned are simple and rudimentary for a fireplace surround installation. And oh, yeah - they cracked a piece of granite while installing it) - Quality of Installation: Poor (installer cracked the floor slab in front of the hearth on day one. UG had to dispatch yet another technician to fill the crack and re-polish the slab. Of everyone I dealt with, this particular technician seemed to be the only one who really knew what he was doing, and his work was satisfactory) - Quality of Materials/Products: Poor (most of the detail about my issues with the granite are above, but how ridiculous is it that they offer granite that is so flimsy that it cracks upon installation, and cracks again for absolutely no apparent reason at all? What's more, why would UG increase the price of granite that is so fragile that it can't even support itself when affixed to a wall? I have since learned that the reason the price went up was more for UG's convenience than because of the actual 'high quality' of the granite. One of their customer reps disclosed to me that this particular type of granite was a real pain to deal with because it was so fragile. OK, well then why is UG even offering it to customers, and why did they increase the price by nearly 50%?) Bottom line - look elsewhere for your granite Bottom line: Consumers should avoid purchasing materials or paying for services provided by United Granite. Failing to do so would be a frustrating and costly mistake easily avoided by seeking more dependable and reputable alternatives for their granite and tile needs. They're not the only game in town, and as I mentioned above, spending a few more dollars per square foot will help you avoid a lot of hate and discontent in the future.
