Excel Plumbing might look like just another showroom filled with beautiful fixtures, toilets, and…read moreplumbing supplies--but it's so much more than that, especially when you have the pleasure of working with Stacy! I came to the showroom with my designer while working on a very long and, at times, overwhelming remodel. From the very beginning, Stacy was incredibly helpful. She was always available to answer questions, clarify details, and offer thoughtful suggestions when I wasn't quite sure what I wanted. She knows her products inside and out, and her expertise made a daunting process feel so much more manageable. I had to select fixtures for THREE full bathrooms and a kitchen, which felt like an enormous undertaking. Stacy quickly put together a detailed, easy-to-understand invoice that was incredibly organized and made it much easier to keep track of everything. Throughout the entire process, she was responsive to every question, change, and adjustment I had. She kept me informed about delivery dates and made sure I always knew where things stood. But what impressed me most was what happened when everything arrived. Stacy meticulously checked the entire order to make sure nothing was missing, and she labeled everything by room. This was such a thoughtful extra step and made things SO much easier for my contractors during installation. Those little details made a huge difference! A remodel can involve so many vendors, moving parts, delays, and unexpected issues, so having someone who is organized, knowledgeable, responsive, and dependable is invaluable. Stacy was truly one of the easiest and most reliable vendors I worked with throughout my entire remodel. I feel very fortunate to have found Excel Plumbing among so many other options, and even more fortunate to have had Stacy helping me along the way. Her professionalism, attention to detail, product knowledge, and genuine willingness to help made my remodel journey significantly easier. If you're doing a remodel or simply looking for plumbing fixtures, I HIGHLY recommend Excel Plumbing--and especially Stacy! She is absolutely fantastic and someone you'll be very happy to have in your corner.

She sat back for a full 10 minutes and gave it serious thought before she made recommendations that were spot on in terms of style, function, and budget * Jennifer was highly collaborative, courteous, and humorous, stayed calm at all times, and was very reassuring. She's honest but diplomatic if you've made a selection she thinks you won't be happy with. * Jennifer was knowledgeable about her own inventory as well as products they don't even carry so she could compare them for you * When asked, she was quite honest about the quality of each fixture (frequency of problems and number of returns), and the integrity of the manufacturer (do they stand behind their products). This is information you can't get doing an internet search * Jennifer's estimates of delivery dates were 100% accurate. Some items even came in early. * Jennifer clearly identified which fixtures were returnable without a restocking fee (standard in-stock items) and which were not returnable (custom orders) * Excel Plumbing is open on Saturdays. Many plumbing supply houses are not * The average discount over the entire order was substantial for the fixtures we bought, and was better than that offered by any other showroom In addition to all of that, Jennifer understands the emotional toll from renovations and reduces concerns where she can: * Your home is in chaos and daily routines are disrupted (she can't help you there) * The wide selection of brands can be daunting (she helps you cut through the clutter of information, and whittle down the options) * You are concerned about making costly mistakes (she helps you make choices with confidence and can also point you towards products that can be returned without penalty) * You might feel urgency to get the renovation done before holiday guests arrive (she can tell you which items are in stock and if not in stock, which manufacturers' estimated delivery dates are reliable) * Your contractor may be pressing you towards products you don't want or like (she can help you identify alternative products you do like) Jennifer has our highest recommendation.

Wise demonstrated a level of professionalism that is truly refreshing to see. He reminded me what a great businessperson should be. That is, kind, understanding, approachable, and genuinely attentive. He took the time to listen to what I was looking for and made sure he understood my needs. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, easygoing, and enjoyable. His amazing people skills and willingness to help made what could have been a stressful process feel simple and memorable. I highly recommend Wise (10 out of 10), and East Star, through and through! He absolutely deserves and more. If you're looking for someone knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely great to work with, ask for Wise!

My contractor recommended them but I left pretty unimpressed and went elsewhere. The cabinet price…read morethey quoted me ended up being at least a couple thousand more than the place I ended up choosing and they were not as nice either (the East Star ones were particle board while the other ones were wood, the other ones were soft close which these were not, my actual layout ended up having almost entirely drawers on the base cabinets which wasn't included in the East Star price and so it would have been even higher than the quote they gave me, and so on). I was also looking for countertops and their options left a lot to be desired. They were maybe slightly cheaper than the other place ($40 difference for a standard countertop size of 110" by 26") but way less options and didn't look as nice. Mostly they were just not that helpful and I also didn't love their selections. I left searching for other options pretty quickly. I think one reason to maybe come here is the prices but in my experience even those were higher and the quality and selection were worse. In addition, ideally you want someone who can actually help you figure out a layout and make you feel like you want to shop there and I didn't get that sense. Maybe I just had a bad experience but even though I came in having some idea of what I wanted, I definitely did not get the vibe that this was where I would find it.

The guy just spent like 20 mins walking around the house and said he will get back to us with a quote. But I never hear back from them since. I think the company is very picky on clients and like to see if they have enough money to pay for their service. If they think we cannot afford it, they will just cut all the communications.

Only downsides were they weren't able to do a miter edge on the counter (or maybe they could but didn't offer it and that's what I would have preferred) and they almost installed a sink that was too small. They emailed me last minute to say they'd do a smaller sink than I had specified and I didn't see the email until it was too late. They were about to do the small sink but fortunately I was onsite and caught the issue in time. They made it work with a proper size sink. Even with these glitches I still was satisfied and would absolutely work with them again. The price was similar to what I'd paid several years ago for a similar sized job so I would consider their overall offering to be very competitively priced.

Today I went to Bath and Beyond and ran into a God send: Valarie, with 17 year exp was knowledgable and helpful beyond belief. I live on east coast and was just scouting but even when she knew she was not going to get a commission because I was shipping tub well out of area - Valarie spent probably 45 minutes with me - coaching me on what bath tubs are best suited for me - Regardless of price! I learned so much more in that one session than in hours of internet research and days of talking with people in other show rooms. I even found the perfect tub but since I live on east coast and local manf here cannot really ship in time to meet my time frame - Valarie taught me what to look for and how to find it in NYC. Another reason to love the bay area - If I was here Bath and Beyond is where I would shop. Thanks Valarie - just sorry I could not buy from you

The showroom is well laid out, two floors, attractive, not confusing, with a range of prices from, say, Delta, Moen and Kohler to higher end brands. (I think lower costs on the bottom floor, higher-end upstairs.) Free parking lot to the side of the building, which you need in the Mission. It's important to see and touch as many of these products as you can. We worked with Keoki Garner. He was well informed, timely, easily available, and collaborative. He stayed cheerful when I overrode him and then changed things last minute (due to my own mistakes.) I loved that I could do research on Build.com and then bring it to Keoki. He never upsold or resisted when I went, say, for Kohler over Grohe. Everything so far has been delivered impeccably and undamaged. Build.com offers an enormous range of products, and I like that too. You can return within a reasonable amount of time. We haven't started construction yet but almost everything is sourced and in the garage.We have a clear billing record so much came from Build.com. I ended up gravitating to some more expensive fixtures, but not because of pressure, because of my own preference. I'd definitely do business with Keoki and with Ferguson again.

The part was an obsolete one, for which I'd purchased a comparable replacement online. However, I hadn't realized that the part didn't come with bushings. When I tried to get the bushings out of the old cylinders, they were stuck. After a tremendous amount of time trying to dislodge them myself, I thought I'd need to find replacement bushings. I'd already struck out at a different hardware store prior to going to Discount Builders. Similarly, Discount Builders also didn't have what was essentially a specialized bushing designed just for the old obsolete cylinder. Most employees would've just stopped at nope we don't have it. However, Max was incredibly resourceful and skilled, and took the cylinders to a work area in the store and spent perhaps the next half hour getting the bushings out. Miraculous! My rowing machine is now reassembled and working great. Thanks to Max! That is truly above and beyond customer service! Love this store!
