We worked with Lien for our guest bathroom remodel. This was our first major remodel where we hired…read morean external contractor to do the work; the contractor recommended J&D for getting as many parts for our remodel as possible. This turned out to be a great recommendation! There were a few issues with the tub and toiler we got, but these were manufacturer issues and not anything caused by J&D. However, J&D corrected the issues immediately and went to bat for us with the manufacturer, so there were no costs incurred to us and only a very minor delay to our project. Overall, we'll definitely go back to J&D for future remodels and hope to work again with Lien in particular.

I worked with Lien for a replacement vanity for our powder room. We had a lovely but impractical…read moreKohler glass bowl and needed something more sturdy but elegant when our little one arrived. I did some cost comparison with a couple of the larger wholesale bath and kitchen retailers in Chicago, and the inventory at J&D was more what I was looking for and best value. Lien was very patient with my MANY questions, I was trying to recreate an image from a brochure. Having never done a project like this, I was extremely nervous. The resulting vanity, top, and faucet, is perfect. It's beautiful (even our guests were impressed), gave us more storage space and sturdy enough to serve as another station for toddler handwashing and morning tooth brushing.

AKB is just what it says--a store with kitchen goodies and bath design. I was skeptical about how a…read moretiny storefront in Andersonville, only blocks from my home and next to a storefront I spent a lot of time in when it was a knitting ship could have vanity stuff like I was looking for, but Yelp said they did so I suspended my disbelief. It all made sense when I found that they have a design area upstairs. Downstairs they have various kitchen items and gadgets. An appointment is required to talk about cabinetry and get some estimates. I met with Marnie, and she was fantastic. I had Opinions on what I did and did not want and she seemed pleased with that and that I had actually done the research on the cabinetry options she'd sent, so I came in knowing precisely which ones I wanted. It definitely made the appointment go more quickly since I already knew which door styles and colors I was interested in. She talked with me about some of the technical aspects (e.g., framed vs. frameless vanities, top mount vs. under mount sinks, etc.) and they had various examples on display. They also had most of the door styles to have a better idea of what they'd look like. For the bathroom in which the vanity would be installed, the options here were more than we wanted to spend. I'd like to consider an update for the main bathroom, though, and would look to AKB for that job. The companies they work with have really beautiful products. Honestly, it makes me want to do more remodeling (main bathroom! Kitchen!) because wandering around the showroom made me want everything! I'm probably not quite that much of a masochist given the construction that would entail, but....

He repeatedly threatened to walk off the job when things didn't go his way, and eventually did--leaving the project unfinished halfway through construction. He even tried to discredit me by claiming I was yelling at his crew, despite the fact that I have video and audio recordings of him yelling and using profanity at me while I maintained politeness. I was left scrambling with tenants displaced in a hotel while he abandoned the work. Save yourself the stress and money--look elsewhere.

I don't even really need this part but I didn't want to get caught with my pants down and I was already there. Oh well. This is ridiculous and I hope I save someone else some money from this ripoff.
