Do you live in an older home? If you live in the city, that is a likely situation you're living in…read more The problem with old homes is for as beautiful as they are, replacing parts when they break can be expensive and difficult. ReHouse takes that problem as well as the ethical repurposing of other houses to use. Whether you need an old sink or some doorhandles, ReHouse has you covered. I've even seen things as large as staircases that were rescued from a demolition just waiting to be brought into a new home. You wouldn't know it from the front but behind the store is a generous parking lot ready for you to fill your car up with new salvage to bring home.

We can all agree that lighting stores are the types of places you don't visit on a whim, unless…read morethat whim is tied into your house repair project, for example. That's how we found ourselves at Tuthill Lighting on a rainy Saturday afternoon in search of a sconce for our house renovation. Lights hadn't been on the agenda that day, but boy are we glad we decided to stop into Tuthill and see what we could find. When you walk in (to the oldest operating business on Monroe!), you're surrounded by light. Sconces dot the walls and larger fixtures descend from the ceiling. With all those choices, you would think that you'd get overwhelmed right away, but we didn't. Somehow, we found exactly what we wanted right away. Bruce, the owner, helped us out and put together a wishlist for us so we could keep track of what we liked and emailed it to us when we were done. I can't say enough nice things about the customer service. Talk about making the customer want to buy something from you! I don't think it's a spoiler to say that we went back to the store and bought our sconce. Bruce arranged for it to be delivered to our house and since our contractor was here, he installed it right away and it looks amazing. I will definitely go back to Tuthill Lighting for our next light purchase, whenever that may be. Best customer service ever, to say the least. Plus, when you get a chance to shop local, why wouldn't you take that opportunity?

The stock is unique, traditional, contemporary and incredible.

Never successful and always ending our search in frustration. That is until we walked into Illuminating Expressions and met our sales consultant Margaret. It's a great store with employees that make the difference. They have a great selection to stimulate your thoughts and the professionalism/patience to help guide you through the selection process. Margaret really helped us narrow our search. She offered great ideas and insights showing us a variety of options to meet our taste and budget. We ended up ordering a piece from a recommended manufacturer that was similar in style to a store display and couldn't be happier. Thank you Margaret and Illuminating Expressions for all your help and guidance. We get compliments from everyone that comes into our house.

As a housewarming gift my fiancé and I wanted to help them update their house with new lighting throughout, we worked directly with Kelli. We don't have the "eye" on interior designs, but Kelli sure does. We sent her pictures of the old lighting in the foyer, kitchen, bathrooms and hallways. Within hours, Kelli emailed us some ideas for each room that she thought would go well with the home and she was spot on! Especially with the foyer - their home looks amazing! And I should mention all lights were in our budget; Kelli kept that in mind when she was helping us choose lighting. Thank you Kelli and illuminating Expressions.

Honesty and helpfulness go a long way. Perhaps we'll have an opportunity to do business in the future!

"ahh, Crown Electric will have it"...we all say... ah NOPE!- denied again!! This again is one of about 3 disappointments over 2 years from a self-proclaimed specialized, home-town, electrical supply store. And after talking to 2 parts techs there NEITHER one offered to order it OR make any attempts to help me secure the switch. It was just 'we don't have it sorry, bye'. Again, this is the most recent of 2 other past similar experiences. Well, they have lost me as a longtime customer. They are just an overrated Lowes or HomeDeport trying to do everything and getting worse at all of it!!! And with even less customer support, if that is even possible!!
