This is how they wanted to leave our counter -- floating a half-inch up on a tiny shim, not secured to anything.
A K.

Very disappointing experience. Countertop was not installed level and Galactic's idea of "fixing it" was to jimmy some shims underneath and leave us with a half-inch of gaping space between the counter and the cabinet. This was a countertop replacement in our existing kitchen, not a new build or a renovation. The existing cabinet was not level, but instead of bringing this to our attention during templating, Galactic plopped the new countertop on it and considered their job done. But we quickly discovered it was so tilted that water pooled in the bottom of the sink. They came back to fix it but said since they don't do cabinets, the best they could do was suspend the new countertop on four narrow shims to level it off. The pictures show how they wanted to leave it, with a huge half-inch gap of open space underneath. When we complained that they could not leave the counter essentially floating on some shims, they reiterated that cabinets aren't their job. Which is fine. But securely installing a useable, level countertop IS their job, and they hadn't done that. If leveling isn't something they're willing to do, they shouldn't take jobs for countertop replacements. Or, bring the uneven cabinet to the customer's attention BEFORE you install the counter, so the customer can hire someone to level the cabinet. But don't install an uneven counter and say you've done a good job. We had to push and insist to get the repairers to fill in the gaping space with extra shims and silicone, so that the counter wouldn't be left afloat. It still looks like garbage, and my husband and I will have to buy a piece of cabinet filler to cover it up. But at least it's now sturdy and level. In addition to all this, our other counter was installed with a nick and the sink counter was made 1/4" too wide, creating a weird overlap with our existing backsplash. They also cut the undermount sink with a negative reveal, even though we wanted zero reveal. The negative reveal makes the sink grid hard to insert and remove. Galactic also has a very confusing system for stocking stone which clearly makes perfect sense to them, but which we found very hard to understand as a customer. These were all parts of the experience we were willing to overlook and live with, especially considering they had been accommodating to our need for a fast turnaround and were reasonably priced. But after the poor installation and the even worse experience getting it corrected, I would definitely never recommend Galactic and never return.

So happy with our cabinets, thanks Tommy!

What a great team to work with. Galactic tiles is more than just, well tiles. They are a full service company that can assist with everything from cabinet design, to vanities, to hardware. They designed our kitchen cabinets and countertops for us, and we couldn't be happier. Instead of going to a big box store, and hoping that what they had would fit, they took the measurements of our space, and designed everything so it would fit exactly as it should. This is what anyone who is doing a renovation should want, and a huge reason why you should shop local instead of going to one of those big box stores. We got something that cost what we would have spent at home depot, but made of better quality materials that was tailored to our specific job. We also did our bathroom tiles, both floor and shower with them, and we are so so happy with how everything came out. During all of these installs, we needed all the hardware you could think of, from kitchen pulls to bathroom towel bars and hooks. GT for the win here as well. They were able to give us ideas of what would fit with the theme of our house and then order it for us at a reasonable price and quickly. Huge shout out to Tommy and Yan for all of their help, when its time for our next project we know exactly who to reach out to. If you need anything for a renovation or upgrade, make sure to shop local and stop by GT

Kitchen : floor and wall tiles

I had the pleasure to work with Rosario at Galactic Tiles. She was able to assist me and design what was best for my kitchen and bathroom styles. Extremely helpful and patience with the indecisiveness between my husband and I. And when Rosario was busy, the other team members was able to lend a helping hand. I'm so happy to have been able to work with Galactic Tiles and will be definitely coming back for other renovations in the near future.

We visited several tile places in the NY area for a bathroom renovation project and Galactic stood out for their Excellent showroom and very helpful staff who is extremely courteous and customer oriented. Most notably, after one of their contractors did not perform a job to spec, they immediately sought to remedy the situation by hiring another contractor who did an excellent job. Overall, we were very pleased with their products and level of customer service.

Great store for tiles and bathroom needs . I was able to get most of my tiles for my bathroom from this place . Dennis and everyone else working there have been super helpful with my tiles need throughout my renovation. Their show room is beautiful and organized . Price are pretty competitive and if you are there at the right time , you maybe able to find some really good deals on their discontinued products .

I am so happy I found them! I worked with Galactic Tiles on my recent bathroom renovation. I came into the showroom with an idea of the tiles I wanted, and they helped me choose from their large selection. While doing the construction, we realized we needed more tiles and tile trim and they were so helpful. On 3 separate occasions, I was able to head to their warehouse conveniently located right next to the showroom and pick up materials same day. The contractors kept remarking on how great the quality of the tiles were and they truly look pristine. They were a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend their services for anyone in the Brooklyn area looking to buy tiles from honest, helpful people.

There's the weekend ferry -- I wouldn't go on the weekend, but more of that in a bit -- and the subway/bus combo during the week. (Note to self: 4 or 5 to Borough Hall, walk to Boerum Place/Joralemon Street for B61 toward Park Slope, disembark in front of store.) Living in a studio apartment, Ikea is a good choice for furniture adaptable to whatever space you have. Note that you have to be a bit handy as pieces come unassembled, and if you're doing everything on your own you've got to pull components from the shelves. We went to Red Hook Tuesday. The store, configured like all other Ikeas, was virtually empty! The downside is during the week staffing appears to be cut. Unable to find anyone to help us, we sat at the computer and pulled things on our own. It helps to research what you want beforehand. Finally -- an employee happened by. I was worried that by doing it solo we'd forget something 'minor' like a hinge, but she advised us that the computer automatically lists the components essential to construction. (I was nonetheless glad that she took over.) Normally 'we' -- meaning my husband -- would collect items from the warehouse. But not this time! We paid to have everything pulled and delivered. And it worked out famously! When we checked out, I asked the cashier -- no check-out line, btw -- if it's this quiet on weekends. She laughed and said "it's a madhouse on weekends. You were smart to come during the week!" So yeah - that was our positive experience at Ikea/Brooklyn. An extra bonus was the bus drive through Brooklyn, the outskirts of an area I lived in back in the 1980s.

I had a great experience buying two kitchen cabinet sets over two years and installation of one of…read morethem after I stumbled into this storefront Contracting/kitchen & bath company on my way back to Manhattan from Ikea. While gassing up, I spied their big Kitchen, Bath, Marble sign and walked in. I'd spent hours at Ikea trying to cram their over-sized kitchen cabinetry into a tiny NYC apartment space. But Ikea stuff (the uppers) was just too bulky and big.) 360 Interior had a wide line of cabinets from different companies in many colors and Flo helped put together a nice design. He was great throughout. The price, including beautiful marble-style quartz counter was extremely competitive, especially compared to Home Depot. (Much, much lower.) This is a supply place and contractor so they also did the installation, providing insurance certificates. While the team onsite did not speak any English, we worked it out by speaking with Flo by phone back at the office. I watched them work quite closely and can tell you the workmen were meticulous and skilled, masterfully fitting the kitchenette into our slightly uneven space in a 19th century building. A year later, I bought a larger kitchen cabinetry set in cherry wood from Flo. (My contractor installed the cabinets that time.) 360 Home did the quartz marble style counter, which they again measured extremely carefully and the end result is gorgeous. It is a truly high end look. For smaller NYC apartment kitchens, this company right near Brooklyn Ikea is a place to stop in if you are serious. They carry a number of cabinet lines -- all made of wood, not MDF. The key here is that their upper cabinetry comes 12" as well as bigger. (This is a sharp and important contrast to Ikea, which switched from the old standard "12 inch upper to "15 inch upper three years ago. (Ikea made the change cuz Americans are using larger plates nowadays as part of the eat-more food trends so the uppers got bigger.) But 15 inch upper cabinets in our NYC smaller spaces look big and bulky to me. Also 360 Home has a wide, wide selection and the materials are all wood, not MDF. I'm now shopping for a third kitchen for another of our apartments at 360 Home. Stay tuned. Have really enjoyed working with this company.

I HIGHLY recommend Ben and 360 Kitchen Design, and would give them 10 stars if I could! I can't wait to work with them again!

Shai came to the rescue, guiding us from start to finish with the end result exceeding our high expectations. He takes so much pride in his work and expertly urged us to make decisions that have resulted in a timeless, beautiful kitchen that has added substantial value to our home. There are so many good things to say about Decori Kitchens, but let me try to name a few: 1) To start, Shai showed endless patience in reworking our kitchen design numerous times to incorporate feedback and ensure I was getting what I wanted. 2) As the project moved forward, he also went way above and beyond to make sure I had all the extra details covered, even though I didn't know I needed them ... beautiful cabinet insides, top-of-the-line pulls, custom coffee containers, LED counter lighting, quarter sewn wood panels, chrome outlet covers, and on and on. It is clear that Shai takes great pride in his work and wants clients to have the best (within budget). Honestly, no detail was too small for him to consider. 3) Shai was very organized, sending calendar invites for key dates, presenting his proposals beautifully, measuring and remeasuring and going the extra mile with updates such as videos to show me the cabinet making in process, etc. 4) Designing and installing a brand new kitchen from scratch requires so much coordination with numerous parties. I never felt alone in the process, since Shai was always responsive in checking on dates, keeping me updated, picking up my calls, advocating on my behalf when we encountered delays with appliances, fabrication, etc. I'll end this review by saying I was not the easiest client, which is probably an understatement. I was engaged in a massive renovation that I hadn't expected or wanted, and doubted many decisions. I am writing this review with the renovation in the rear view mirror and a much greater knowledge base that has helped me understand the quality and craftmanship and incredible eye for design that went into our kitchen. Through sheer perseverance and endless patience and talent, Shai now has a devoted client who wishes she could give him more than 5 stars!

In over a decade as a freelancer, working with hundreds of designers, architects, and millwork…read morecompanies, Shai is the only client who has left my work unpaid and stopped responding to my messages and calls. I spent a month working for him on an apartment remodeling project (mainly a kitchen with an island, an entryway cabinet, and bedroom cabinets) and completed everything he requested, including numerous revisions and additional tasks. A year and a half later, I still haven't been paid, and I am still planning to pursue a small claims case to recover the money owed. My review concerns how he treats the people who work with him. To me, failing to pay and then ghosting someone says something about his character and willingness to keep commitments. It has been truly disappointing.
