There is also a 24-hour dropbox for extra convenience. My 4 knives were finished in under 15 minutes, and as I waited, I could watch the work being done. I also found a wide variety of baking and high-quality cooking products in their Kitchen Store. Knives, Garden blades and edge guards are also able to be done.

A few days ago, I headed to Home Depot to find my favorite peppermint Castile soap, which I knew…read morethey had at the best price. Despite a thorough search of the entire store, I couldn't locate it. So, I checked their website and saw that it was in stock. I approached the customer service desk and spoke with a friendly girl named Rachel, if I remember correctly. She kindly told me the soaps were on a pallet and that she'd get them down for me. Grateful, I headed to the aisle where the pallet was. Once the two employees who lifted the pallet finished, they told me to see Rachel, so she could check the boxes. It seemed unusual to me that they didn't just grab it since it was right there, but I decided to go back to Rachel instead. She enthusiastically helped me retrieve the soap, which was tucked under a heavier box on the pallet, and handed it to me with a smile. Throughout, Rachel remained patient and attentive, making me feel valued as a customer. For her outstanding service, I'm giving this place five stars! She truly sets the standard for excellent customer service at Home Depot.

The commercials for Granite Plus are enticing, offering the best prices and customer service, but…read moreour experience fell short of those expectations. My wife and I spent a couple months deliberating over the right granite for our kitchen remodel and the right granite fabricator. When we stumbled on Granite Plus we found our perfect slab and had a good vibe from our initial impression with the two owners (Lanette and Lazarus) that we worked with. They assured us that good customer service was paramount along with the fact we would get the very best price. Fast forwarding to our installation day some of our backsplash was missing and our bar top was set to be installed, but was short by 8 inches! Mistakes do happen, but we were met with a litany of excuses (one of which was to blame us for the bar top being too short) and we were not followed up with by the dates we were promised. To be fair, there was an issue with the 2nd slab for the redo of the bar top and after some back and forth Lazarus offered to let us go to Chicago to pick out the one we wanted. On a positive note the installers were very professional and did a great job.

My wife and I went with Granite Plus for a new kitchen counter top. After signing all their…read morepaperwork saying they are not responsible for any damages to your house and putting money down to get started, we even had to pay a charge for an oversized piece. I assumed they would send a larger crew to handle the larger piece. We started laying out the counter top. My wife spent several hours over multiple days working with multiple designers for the best pattern. On install day, 2 guys showed up and I asked if another crew member was coming to help with the oversized counter and they said no. Why was there an oversized charge when I needed to help the 2 workers lift the oversized counter? The layout that my wife approved with G.P. was not what we got. The pattern/seam does not line up to the drawing they provided. I understand that the fabricator has the final say, but it was not even close to lining up and not brought to our attention that it would not line up. Looks bad. One piece, 25"x22", also was cut crooked by about 1/4" so now next to the stove, it is tight toward the front of the stove, and there is a 1/4" gap at the back of stove. Other pieces are not cut square, but not 1/4" off. On another piece, they scraped and gouged the walls, which needed patching and repainting. Maybe a larger crew (that I paid the oversized fee for) may have prevented this. I am giving two stars because of patterns that don't line up, for not being able to cut a small piece square, and for having to patch and paint walls.

This location of Menards is huge…read more It's two story with a cart escalator. I didn't even know such a thing existed. But, at good ol' Menards? It sure does. I have a love/hate relationship with most locations of Menards. The love: They have literally everything. Their stores are packed with anything you may need for any DIY project you're considering, whether it's an indoor plumbing project our an outdoor landscaping adventure--they've got everything you need. The hate part comes in with the same note--they are so large and have so much stock that it's always a bit hard to navigate. So, exemplary service comes in clutch. Unfortunately, in my opinion, that's where many locations of Menards falls short. Not so, at this location! We were on the hunt for something specific, enlisted the aid of a worker who walked us to the aisle and made sure we found what we needed. Hurray! Get to it!

Calm and reasonable during the construction process with clients and tradespeople. We loved the 3 D renderings provided so we could see exactly what we were building. Detail oriented, up to date in design and products. Incredibly fair and honest. We had not one problem with our complex and large home renovation, and in the end, money was returned to us per the allowances contract. His accounting seemed impeccable and cost structure fair. In our opinion, it is much better than other contractors we've previously used. I believe before accepting any posted negative reviews, a prospective client should conduct their own due diligence. Contact multiple Rigsby Group clients; call subcontractors for information on construction quality, payment history, working and interpersonal relationships; finally research the history of any customer who filed any kind of complaint. What was the level of construction drawing completion at the start of the project. If they were incomplete, could that have created project problems? Have all the contractors/subcontractors been paid for all work performed when the client was responsible to pay? Have other contractors/subcontractors been fired by the client? Has the client filed or threatened complaints or lawsuits against other contractors or subcontractors? if the answer to any of these questions seems wrong might these be unreasonable clients that no contractor could satisfy? With repeated posts/complaints by or on behalf of one individual, could Shakespeare's "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" apply?

Our home remodel through Property Revision was an extremely frustrating experience. The proposed…read moreproject was set to be 7 weeks long, it was quasi-complete in 13. The craftsmanship was not up to par and cost $10,000 more than proposed. We had many "add on fees" for items such as - "installation and delivery" (what contractor quotes prices without installation and delivery). Often they had us agree to things verbally without conveying it would change the price (there are laws against this) and then send us a price change agreement weeks later. They seemed very upfront and trustworthy at the onset but quickly turned once the contract was executed and our walls were open (we couldn't back out then). We up against a tight deadline for the birth of our daughter and they did not seem to care. We currently have a hole in our kitchen ceiling from a leaking tub they installed. This is now the 3rd plumbing issue we have during the process with them. Luckily, when the ceiling was cut open, we realized why our in-floor heat wasn't working. They had severed the electrical wires and then electrical taped them back to together and shoved them in the floor (Hint: this isn't code compliant). Our house was always a mess and they used our front porch like a storage locker for their tools and supplies. As my wife and I often joke, they only way they are "Property Brothers of Milwaukee" is if you want Holmes on Homes upset by your choice in contractor. We cannot recommend their services.

We purchased quartz countertops from IKEA and they contract with McDermott as the fabricators and…read moreinstallers. This review is based on my interactions with McDermott only. Once our order was placed through IKEA, McDermott called a day or so later to setup the laser measure appointment. I missed the first call and got a voicemail. I promptly called back but I didn't hear the caller leave a name. So after calling several times I was finally able to connect with a project manager to schedule the time. They are very thorough explaining everything and provide a follow-up email to cover the details of the call. Two days prior to the measure they send a reminder email with all the details and 30 minutes prior to their arrival day of they call you. The person arrived and the measurements went as noted in the call/email. It didn't take very long and I was asked questions pertaining to the tops, plumbing, cabinets, etc. A template is created with all the information pertaining to the job. After the measurements and template are signed off on, it goes back to IKEA to adjust any pricing based on the accurate measurements. This part of the process was slightly frustrating but that would be in a separate review of IKEA. McDermott called again to schedule the installation of the countertops. Communication was a little easier this time with the name of the scheduler and a prompt same day return phone call. I was surprised how quickly they were able to come install the tops. Same mentioned previously they followed up with an email and information on what to expect for installation. Before the installation date I did have to call to confirm if we were responsible to level the cabinets once our old countertop was removed. We did the demo ourselves and they did inform me we were responsible for leveling. If they did it the project manager explained it could be expensive. Luckily we were able to handle that. The day of installation I received a call 15 minutes prior to their arrival. Upon the installers arrival they managed to back down our driveway and run into a tree, breaking a branch...not a great start. But the two guys came in and started on the work right away. They explained the process and took care of a couple things on the cabinet tops so the installation would go more smoothly. After everything was finished and sealed they went over care and maintenance of our tops. The whole process took about an hour and a half. Overall we are very pleased with the countertops! The timeframe from purchase to installation was relatively quick, a total of 7 weeks. Communication could have been slightly better in beginning and I wish the installers didn't break our tree but we got our new tops.
