We hired AK Marble & Granite in October of 2021 to remodel our kitchen. They were to do tile…read moreflooring, base cabinets, an island, pantry and granite countertops. After a year we had to take them to court because the installer never put thinset under our tile floor and the floor is lifting. Grout continues to pop out to this day. We told AK about this and they came back to try and fix it but their way of fixing it was to just add more grout which didn't resolve a thing. We never received the rollouts for our pantry or island as promised, yet the price for these items was to be included in our contract. They kept telling us we would get a discount at the end. Continue reading and you will see that my discount was an increase of $5,578.98. I asked how much of a discount for the missing rollouts and they said they would take $400 off. I will admit at first I agreed because honestly I was sick of dealing with them but then I realized that their discount was way less then it would cost me to get all the roll outs so I said we would wait until they came in. We most definitely never got a fair discount for anything or any of our rollouts. They never ordered the correct amount of tile for our floor although we were charged for 600 sq ft of tile flooring. AK told his installer not to lay it under our appliances because we wanted to save money yet the 600 sq ft which is in our contract was wall to wall. Which is what we paid and still to this day didn't receive. We did agree that they didn't have to go under the cabinets but we asked from day one and multiple times after that to go under all of our appliances. When we agreed to not have them go under the cabinets we were told there would be a discount as it would be less flooring but that clearly wasn't the case. The installer wasn't going to go under our washer and dryer in our mud room at first because AK told him not to and I had a fit! Who doesn't tile under their washer and dryer? I mean come on! When we went to visit their facility to select the granite we wanted we were interested in two different slabs. AK told us they were both the same price per sq ft. We selected one and the very next day asked if we could switch to the other and were told it would cost more. We should've ran at that point but we just gave them $20,000. Our total contract with them was for $31,800. I didn't understand this as the square footage wasn't changing. This was the one I wanted so I asked how much more and was told maybe $500. I said fine and gave them the ok to do it. The very next day AK's wife text me and said AK said there would be no additional price for the change of the granite. Although once we filed to sue them they filed a counter claim saying we still owed them over $5,578.98 for the granite. Funny thing is we already paid them what we agreed for the granite. We paid them $20,000 to start. Then about a week later they asked us to pay another $5000 for the flooring even though it wasn't completed but we paid it. Then they came and put in the cabinets and counter and wanted another $5000 which we paid. Our balance at that point should have only been $1800 but remember my discounts. They asked if they could come get the final payment of $1800 and they would drop off the last box of tile for my husband to finish the floors because they couldn't come back and do it and I told them no!! I said I would see them in court as this was ridiculous and had gone too far. They never mentioned an increase in our granite to me at this point either. They were increasing the counters costs by $5,578.98 yet they never mentioned it! We never signed anything that we were going to pay more for the counters. Remember I have the text from AK's wife saying there would be NO increase in the countertops. They never mentioned this price increase to us at all until we sued them. This company is crocked! Be very careful! We were awarded in court and their counter claim was not. However, now they won't pay. We need to hire someone else to come fix the job they did. Some of the granite is cut uneven which he told us was because our house is old. AK made the template. They claimed that they finished the job and we still owed them $5,578.98 yet we never received a final bill! They claimed in court that they emailed it. I checked my email and nothing. This was my discount people! Beware!! We never had time to even look at anything that they completed and they had their hand out wanting money. Now they asked if we would give them six months to pay what we were awarded in court. I don't want to wait 6 months. AK called us dumb faces and said he believes in god and he will see us in court and do what the judge says but he's not! We are having to go after him to force him to pay. We were asked when they thought we were happy to give an honest google review. Now they have their lawyer asking us to remove our review. Which I will not! I want others to be warned about this company!

After researching various providers, I chose Stronghold Floors to epoxy our garage floors. Price…read moreseemed reasonable but I did not shop around, admittedly. The finished product is great, exactly what I expected. This is not a complaint, merely an observation of their communication process. SH will not confirm an arrival time or offer a window when their team will show up. I knew this based on the FAQ's on their site but I still found it to be an inconvenience as we had some last minute, heavy appliances to move before their arrival and limited hands to do it. We didn't know if they were coming at 8am or 2pm. After talking with the installer on the first day, he offered to text me on day two with an estimated time of arrival which was super helpful and most appreciated. And, the text communication with the installer came in handy when one of the two left their personal items on my trashcan and needed to return to retrieve it. Overall, it was a good experience and I am happy to recommend them. But I do think that an additional layer of communication would be most helpful for the customer.

(Owner) to reply to my post & I did exactly as he suggested. I responded to the e-mail address he provided copying the General Manager and asking he be provided a copy as well. I outlined the 9 times I contacted Stronghold since April 1,2024 asking for a quote & appointment to repair my floor. I even provided my contact info and my Stronghold identifier SR-CSR-374 so they can locate my service request. Now 12 days later since my last request, still no response. I was really hopeful I would hear from somebody. I guess I was right, business is just too good; they either don't have time or don't care to address repairs. I'm truly disappointed as I've recommended them on numerous occasions, handing out their business cards to several prospective customers.

I found another place that was more interested in taking my money, so I spent it there instead!

The process was painless and fast, and Jordon was so helpful. Within a short period of time Brian came to our home, took measurements of the room, answered all our questions, and gave us a quote. We were also very impressed with the installation. Rafaela and Matheus were both professional, courteous, and very skilled. The installation was done with great care and surprisingly fast. Their work was precise and impeccable, and they left the room immaculate. Not only was the experience of working with everyone easy, and the installation was wonderful, the products they carry are high quality. Every step of the entire process was professional, pleasant, clear, and double checked. A+ service from start to finish!

Ruben King (the owner) said that it's from the drywall seam. Any professional would know that it's not acceptable to leave a stripe on the wall, no matter if it's from a seam or not.

Have given him plenty of time to address the issue. Additionally, some of the paint is a different color in some rooms - because they provided the wrong formula and didn't even notice that 2 walls that should be the same color - were not the same color. Lastly, in a 2 story foyer area - someone managed to leave a black handprint. Apparently, that's not a big deal to Ruben. Why? BECAUSE HE DOES NOT CARE! Thanks Ruben. You and your staff are lazy and unprofessional. Big turn over in employees, other than your son? I can't stress it enough...AVOID THIS COMPANY!!!!!!

Had I known that previously I would have given them the task of redoing my kitchen backsplash. Unlike most contractors CKC is a relatable husband/wife team. As a female customer I always felt comfortable and not spoken down to like I have with some home improvement companies. Katina is the office wiz and often does estimates, while Chris is the job foreman but will do an occasional estimate. In prior homes I used other flooring companies with varying degrees of happiness. I found CKC prices to be fair and their work quality high. I don't remember how I discovered them but I never saw them advertised anywhere. In the early stages of using them Chris did the work personally. In recent years I believe their business has grown so much that now his son does the actual install. Nevertheless I've not had a floor transformed that I was not happy with. Including my dining room which I thought was too far gone to save. When we removed the carpet we discovered thick tar like paper backing material stuck - yes stuck - to the original hardwood floor. It had been there for many years, probably glued intentionally by a previous owner. After trying to scrap it myself with no success I really thought this floor was a total tear out. After three days of work by CKC the floor was resurrected into a timeless hardwood beauty. Not one ounce of its former life, with the paper adhered remained. Thus began my long time relationship with CKC. My only disappointment as of late is that sometimes it takes a few days from them to call you back concerning an estimate, scheduling, or question. On the last job I wish I would have notified to tell me my floor is completely finished and when it can be walked on. But I believe this is due to their ever-growing work load. Overall I am a very satisfied customer and would and have recommended them to others.

They got us back up and running and patched our ceiling in time for a holiday party. The guys are super friendly and very knowledgeable! We then reached out when we were ready to move forward with a complete bathroom gut job and walk in shower. They listened to what we wanted, completed the design work and gave us options for tiles and fixtures along with a budget to work with. Their work is definitely an investment but so worth it! Nick talked us through what we should consider and then kept the communication throughout the entire process. He gave us a plan for the week and followed through.

We contracted with CentralX based on previous experience with one of their people when he worked…read morefor a different company. That same "can do!" attitude is the basis for how CentralX operates. They were great about giving a thorough and fact-based, on-site estimate; able to roll with it when circumstances changed ("You wanted us to use your leftover paint on the door outside -- did you know that's indoor paint? It's okay, we can get outdoor paint in that color, just wanted to check that you didn't mean for us to use the wrong paint."); able to make suggestions mid-project ("The color on your front door, we were thinking it might look great around the garage door we just fixed up. Come see what you think."); able to expand the contract in small ways ("Clean that clogged gutter? Sure, we can bring our ladder tomorrow.") and large ("Um, okay, that indoor paint that was on your door, did the gang that painted you before use that same paint on the shutters? Because your shutters don't match your front door now. Leave it like that, or add the shutters to the paint job? Because we can get more paint, no problem!") They fixed up our kitchen ceiling (which showed where there had been leakage before, plus a large hole where repairs had been needed for the leak) to the point that it's impossible to tell where the damage was--the former hole in the ceiling is now invisible. They replaced the front porch railing (rotted in a couple of the posts and part of the railing) with vinyl parts that won't rot or need much maintenance, yet looks like the old railing. They took off old wallpaper in our guest bath and painted the walls beautifully (moving the toilet as needed, something we had not anticipated but was obvious after they started--they made it sound like no big deal). They put up new outside lighting and cleaned up the area around the new lights so there's no way to tell these are replacements for old rusty junk. Besides the great workmanship, we enjoyed how much the guys took pride in their work--they genuinely were very pleased with how well everything worked out. "Would you hire this company again?" Already have! We're contracting with them to help prepare for a new gas/electric stove. The company that sold us the new stove told us we would have to hire someone to run a gas line; someone else to upgrade the electric; and someone else to modify the counter area to fit the new stove. Instead, we're hiring CentralX, who will do it all.
