Every one of the projects we worked on with him (6-7) resulted in unsatisfied clients on his portion of work from lack of planning or project management (Which I've had to do myself multiple times yet with no compensation) and us never being paid our last 10% as a "final closing" on any of the projects because his clients weren't satisfied and he refused to pay us what we were owed for completing the work even though the client isn't our employer, he is. Alongside his lack of creativity (since he always opts for the same colour samples and ideas which i know since he's told me and I've seen), he only seems to look for a quick dollar out of the same design he's done times before.

There's something special about supporting local businesses in this day and age of online shopping…read more Especially when the business in question has been doing what they do for a very long time. It's a testament that this isn't their first rodeo, as the saying goes. Our old couch, that has gotten a lot of use from 2 kids, and plenty of adult naps was in need of some TLC. Tempting as it is it just put it by the curb, and get something new, the prices of new furniture of similar quality is outrageous, and certainly isn't built as well as what we have now. Fleshers is close to home, the price quoted for the service was very reasonable, and - because this ain't their first rodeo - the turnaround time is insanely fast. That's the difference between them and another company that may be bigger and "better" because of name recognition as a result of marketing and advertising. Word of mouth advertising is where it's at, and has always been a better indication of quality than anything else. Plus, supporting a family owned local business is priceless.

MR KITCHEN We signed a contract to have a new kitchen…read moreinstalled on May 11 2019. It is still not finished. They require the full payment installing the kitchen. But they are in no hurry to complete your kitchen. Here is a short list of the issues with this company. We received a schedule for delivery, installation, inspection by MR Kitchen and the countertop measurement date. The date the countertop company would come in to measure. 1) They barely made the delivery date, I took time off and had to call them to find out what was happening. 2) The installer showed up the next day and installed the kitchen. 3) Once completed we noticed many issues, cracked door, incorrect cabinet placement, wrong size cabinets.... And the list goes on 4) The installer did not follow the plan and we could not even slide our stove in its location. The cabinets were misaligned. 5) The designer did not leave enough room for doors to open so the blind corner baskets cannot slide out as they should. 6) The inspection was scheduled for the next day at approx. 8:00am. No one showed up so I called. 7) The service manager did not know where his inspector was??????????? 8) He never showed up to inspect before the countertop company came to measure. 9) Countertop company came the next day and measured for countertops. 10) I realized the measurements would be bad because the cabinets were not installed according to the plan. I called MR. No one returned my call. 11) I called the countertop company myself and had them put the countertop on hold. 12) Three days later and at the last minute they sent the inspector. They called me at work to say they would be there in 1 hour? Spent 2 hours identifying what had been done wrong. 13) We assumed they would fix it ASAP. WRONG 14) For the next 4 months when they sent technicians to fix, repair or replace, they had the wrong pieces or the wrong size doors or not all the parts... All of them wrote down size of doors and cabinets.... But somehow that information was lost every time. They would come back with mismatched pieces and 1 time with a door that was 1 foot to short. When they noticed the blind corner unit could not slide out the service manager said that that was normal.??? (I have the emails) 15) All they had to do was look at the plan but I think that is to logical. 16) They had no idea from one person to the next what was going on. 17) We are still missing toe kicks because last time they came the piece was 3 feet to short? 18) This was just a taste of what dealing with this company was like.
