Well, again, this isn't fancy, but this is one of my favorite places to shop. And it has everything I need in one spot.
This huge store that has everything for your home remodel: flooring, carpeting and padding, sinks, faucets, hardware, doors and storm doors, vanities, toilets, shower doors, and more.
The most valuable things here are the employees. They're great! They're knowledgeable and helpful without being intrusive. The best one here in my opinion, is Jess. There's nothing I've asked that she didn't know the answer to. She used to own a flooring business, so that's a strong area, but she is very knowledgeable about everything.
Jess also pointed out another valuable benefit here: the wall by the exit which has business cards of contractors. Jess also mentioned a few that frequently do business with them. It wasn't, however, an endorsement of the quality of their work necessarily, rather who's a frequent customer/contractor, and seems to be professional and nice.
Another reason I love shopping here is their free Project Planning and Design service. This has saved me money, time, frustration and been very informative... and fun.
As you enter, the first room has kitchen flooring, sinks, faucets and some hardware (to the left) as well as everything for your bathroom (to the right). The Project Planning and Design Center is in the middle. The larger adjacent room, has doors, countertops, more flooring, carpeting and padding, doormats etc.
Everything is neat, well stocked, and labeled. And the employees are never too busy putting out or straightening stock to help a customer. That alone is worth the trip here, since customer service is a dying art.
There's free parking in the large, private parking lot, and they will be happy to take things out and load your car.
This is on the main drag on Empire Boulevard, conveniently next to Tim Hortons. You can celebrate the savings on your remodel...just saying. read more
