He told me I don't want you to waste my time or yours and you look like you just asking prices. I told him yes I have to ask the prices and also the prefab approximate. Before all this he was rude and very disrespectful. Came down from the office all mad. May he thinks because I am not a contractor, and an a woman and neither white he could be disrespectful when clearly his staff was nice and very helpful. I am a Kearny resident, home owner and work for a large global corporation in the legal department so clearly he lost a customer. Additionally, we try to support the local businesses in Kearny as we also have a business. We buy most of our products from Marjam and never had a problem in 7 years. The first time in his place and the attitude and disrespect was very appalling. I feel sorry for workers here, the worker who helped me was trying to explain to him what I wanted and it went on deaf ears. I will also be contacting the BBB on this

Walked in for a chat about my upcoming bathroom renovation in late Spring of 17 and it took about…read morefifteen minutes for someone to acknowledge me. To make matters more uncomfortable for the person who is truly seeking some guidance in the bath renovation department, the person who tended to me told me they were pretty booked and without knowing all of the details quoted me a price of $18,000 for the renovation. Hmm...starting at that price is a turn off and really comes across as snobbery (in my humble opinion). The lady wrote my address and cell number, and said she would call me back. I of course never heard from her again. I guess (but can't say with certainty), that one has to be a resident of Westfield to experience the presence of this small storefront design firm?

There is a series of negative reviews below which really surprise me. I've only had great…read moreexperiences with this business. I think I know what the problem is which I will state later in this review. ABSOLUTELY BEST PRICES They absolutely have the best prices in northern New Jersey. How do I know? Well, it's sort of my job to know. I've literally gone to every single flooring/tiling store and Speedwell has beaten them all, sometimes by a very significant margin. If you don't believe me, call any store and get a quote on a piece of flooring. A lot of them will say they don't quote over the phone. (That's double-speak for we want you to come down and then hopefully, when you hear the price, you'll be too lazy to go back to the cheaper place and you'll just order then and there. What's crazy is that this actually works. Ask car dealers.) Think about this observation I made about them. Their normal prices are better than the sale prices of other places. It makes my job easier since I don't have to always comparison shop because I know I'm going to get the best price. I still do time to time to make sure but it's always cheaper. WHAT MIGHT BE WRONG I think the reason for the negative reviews is that this business does a lot of business with commercial buyers who buy in bulk. (Thus, the cheap prices.) They don't do as much business with residential customers so they don't have their own in-house installation crew. They sub-contract the work and that is the problem. They try to find good people but quality control is pretty tough when you are subcontracting the work out. This is probably the reason why there are so many complaints about the workmanship. Speedwell isn't overseeing the work so they can't control the results. Speedwell probably just offers installation as more of a "favor" to residential customers. (I'm not sure of this but I'm just speculating.) If I were them, I would just sell floor products rather than include installation. It's the better business model. But, what do I know, right? SELECTION AND TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE The ladies in the store are absolutely the nicest people you'll meet. They let me take their only sample piece over the weekend so I could bring them to job sites. My designer could now see if the sample piece's color truly matches the room's surrounding fixtures. That's really great customer service. Their store has a real wide range of products to choose from and the ladies' technical knowledge is solid. What's more important is taste and they've made some great suggestions in the past. BUY THE MATERIALS HERE. FIND YOUR OWN CONTRACTOR TO INSTALL. This is how you save a few hundred/thousand bucks. The contractor is not going to go looking for the best price like you will. But, they do get a slightly discounted contractor's price sometimes so when you go shopping around, just say that you're a designer and you want the contractor's price. Not so hard, is it? I'm a property manager so I have previously used contractors lined up to install the product. I suggest you guys to look for contractors that will just do the install. To find good contractors, ask to take a look at work projects that they have done a year or two ago. (Newly installed product will almost always look good; the bad quality reveals itself over time. Look really close and be anal.) If you still want to use Speedwell's subcontractors, ask them to only suggest contractors that they absolutely know to be awesome. I'm sure they will tell you the truth. They really are nice people.

Working with Erin Strickland at Morris Interiors was one of the best decisions we made during our…read morewhole-house remodel. The project was focused on preparing our home for sale, and Erin's design insight and management made an enormous difference -- both in the quality of the finished product and in the sale price. Her thoughtful design choices and practical advice directly contributed to an increase in our home's value of roughly $350,000. Erin's approach was responsive, collaborative, and always focused on getting the greatest impact from a tight budget. Just as valuable as her design recommendations were her clear opinions on what not to change -- helping us invest where it truly mattered. She managed trades efficiently, stayed flexible in sharing oversight, and wasn't afraid to get hands-on, personally helping lay out floor and shower tile. She balanced professionalism with a personal touch -- meeting in person when needed and easily handling other decisions virtually. Her listening skills and calm, encouraging manner made every choice easier and better. Billing was fair, transparent, and timely, and her access to trusted vendors saved us thousands (including $5,000 in cabinetry costs alone). In the end, the cost of design services was more than justified by the results. We couldn't recommend Erin and Morris Interiors more highly for anyone looking to combine creativity, value, and professionalism in a remodel or home design project.

I have been trying to get them to repair a $2500 shade they created and installed for 3 months…read more They are very slow to respond to my repeated requests - slow to come by to inspect it, slow to come back and remove it to send it back to their "workroom", and slow to return any of my phone calls.

Guess we were 'small potatoes'. Thankfully, Window Trends responded quickly and were more than willing to tackle our repairs. Lisa, was terrific! She followed through with my request and kept in contact to verify the service. Joe and Tom arrived at the exact appointment time. They worked carefully and methodically. One of the blinds was more challenging but that didn't stop them from making sure the work was completed. They were a pleasure. Both were courteous and professional. As far as cost, it was exactly as stated at the outset. There was no price gouging. I highly recommend this merchant. From beginning to end you know they take pride in their business and appreciate the needs of the customer!
