The reviews below are pretty indicative of the customer service experience given by K&BU.
Can't speak for cabinets, but it turns out K&BU is just a middle man for a countertop company from Canada, and not in a good way.
My husband and I were looking to replace a cheap countertop installed in our house by the flipper who sold it to us. We were able to work with K&BU to pick out a nice quartz at the beginning of December. They were supposed to call us to come measure, but that didn't happen until a few weeks later, and we had already informed them we would be gone for a cruise at that time and wouldn't be in the country. They ended up coming on January 3rd. I'm not sure if this was someone from their company or someone from the countertop company, as the many came into my home and quietly measured the countertops as expected. He told me K&BU would be in touch... except that never happened. We had zero contact with them until we reached out to K&BU on our own at the end of January.
We contacted them but got voicemail, then they reached out to figure out what was going on, and we eventually got a call from them to do the install. The real situation was that if we didn't force the issue every single time, nothing would have happened.
After a couple weeks of no returned phone calls, I reached out to them via direct message on their facebook page. It was seen, and consequently ignored.When they finally figured out a time to install, I realized we would be lucky to actually see this all the way through. I felt like it was poor planning to not look at the weather for the upcoming week that was legitimately a Polar Vortex and say that your installers would be coming in what would be the worst of the storm. I didn't have an issue with them not coming in this, I wouldn't have expected them to, but I'm still at a loss as to why they wouldn't just schedule for the following week. When the counter top company called to reschedule, they told us to make sure the demo was done, which of course resulted in much confusion from my husband and I. They told us they weren't aware a demo had to be done and that could incur extra costs, but would be around Monday 2-4PM. My husband ended up calling K&BU to clear this up and it was handled, at no extra cost to us, which would make sense, considering we requested a demo from the very beginning.
The person from the counter top company we talked to apparently didn't make it clear to whoever came out to our house on Monday that we also needed a demo of our existing sink and countertops to the countertop installers, because they came into our house and pronounced they didn't have room in their van for the countertop. They also came an hour early, with zero call ahead and were surprised that I was told they'd be here at 2PM, not 1PM. For someone who does not have a flexible work arrangement, this could be an even bigger issue.
All said and done, our countertops look pretty fabulous, I just wish it didn't take 3 months to get them installed and that we had to be constantly on top of calling them to figure out what was going on.
I would not recommend K&BU at all because of the poor communication and the fact that they really didn't do much. I'm not sure how I can accurately review this company since they barely did anything in terms of actual manual labor, but then again, that is actually why I'm reviewing this company. read more
