On Friday, June 14, I reached out to contractors to come by my home near Rockwall to solicit quotes and estimates for granite countertops. Saul from KIVA Stone replied and asked if I was available the same day which I clearly stated to him I had a doctor's appointment from 2 pm to 4pm and needed to leave the house a few minutes early to arrive on time. Outside of these hours, I was available anytime and we had agreed to some in the evening, 5 pm.
(Strike one) Saul then texts me at 1:35 pm and requested if he could come by and take the measurements. I let him know I was literally walking out the door but he insisted it would only take a few minutes and he was down the road from the house. I agreed and he came by the house and took measurements and of course I was late to my appointment.
He then asked when would be the best time to meet at the show room so we can go over everything. Again, we agreed to 1130 am on Saturday June 15 to meet at 10574 King William Drive, Dallas TX which is about 1 hour 15 minute drive for my wife and I.
(Strike two) As we were on our way to the showroom, I text Saul at about 11 am to let him know we were on our way and then we received a text back from him saying he was at a funeral and couldn't make it but to ask for Julio and he would take care of us.
(Strike three) Once we arrived, we walk up the stairs and entered the office. No one was at the reception desk and another guy had to come out of his office to greet us. He had no idea who we were and was not expecting us. Once I told him everything that was going on, He told me Julio was not available, which at this point, I don't even know if he even worked here but someone else could help us. This is when Saul text me again and told me to talk to Azareth and they would take care of us.
At this point, it was a little too late and we decided to walk out and not listen to what they offered. When it comes to my time and my money, I expect contactors to be on time and organized, all of which was not done with Saul or KIVE Stone. read more
