Unprofessional, condescending, and dismissive of female pros…read more I visited Sarasota Wholesalers today looking for sandstone tile and was shown the Coralina by an older gentleman with glasses. When I inquired about contractor pricing vs. retail, the interaction became incredibly uncomfortable. After being told I couldn't get a discount on a first order, I asked a simple follow-up about the process for setting up an account. He responded in a dismissive, condescending tone, eventually snapping, 'I'll just give you the contractor price' as if he were doing me a favor. I don't appreciate being treated with such rudeness. It felt as though he didn't believe a woman could be a General Contractor. I'll gladly take my business elsewhere. Don't waste your time here if you value professional respect.

She is dismissive, sarcastic with unproductive e-mails ending with "Have a good day", and flat out horrible as I was warned by my easy going wife. We bought expensive Italian pendant lights that were either poorly manufactured or damaged in transit. We provided clearly marked photos of poorly joined metal parts (see attached). Sat first, she blamed it on our cleaning person who never touched the lights, saying she used a corrosive or at least wrong cleaning agent. Then she blamed it on installation but after backing off on that possibility, she blamed our electrician for not noticing the issue before installation. She wanted us to pay to uninstall them, send them to Miami to be "repaired", leaving open holes in our celling for weeks/months, and then pay to ship them back. She refused to explain what caused the damage after her first two ridiculous reasons were ruled out by her coming over and seeing them. Trust me, she's in the vendor's corner, not yours. BTW. Sophie, our sales person is the opposite. BEYOND NICE. But, Monika rules the roost and is an aggressive obstructionist.

This gentleman quoted me a price of $1000 stating that both cables need to be replaced and the springs and the door needed to be completely removed. I told him to leave. I googled best garage repair and spoke with Overhead Door Company. I was given a quote (tentatively) over the phone so I knew what to expect financially. When Steve with Overhead Door arrived, I explained to him what happened earlier this morning with the other company, he told me that only the one broken cable needed to be replaced. There was no need to replace the other cable or the Springs, but he would lube the Springs, tighten the cables to ensure that the door would go up and down smoothly. There was no need to remove the entire door. Excellent service! Highly recommend Overhead door Company.I feel that they were fair, honest, reputable, and a good value for the money. Thank you for the awesome service.

This is absolutely the worst place in town to buy anything plumbing related.
