I'll start by saying the counters we have look great in our kitchen. That's the 1 star. The quality, service and experience is the reason it stops there.
On July 20th 2017, they installed our counter tops. Less than 9 months later, in two separate places behind our stove, not on any seams, we noticed the counters had cracked completely thru. I emailed, with pictures, asking someone to let me know what they can do, as clearly something went wrong.
First, the guy Rob who I spoke with, argued with me over how long it had been since install. He told me it's been a year. I actually had to have him count out the months with me on his fingers over the phone to determine it had been less than 9 months. He was a bit less confrontational after that, but equally unhelpful. Ultimately he referred me to someone else.
Two emails later, I get a call from Matt, the General Manager, who tells me he is the highest form of escalation possible, that the owner is never around. He tells me $250 to have someone come look at it; not repair it, mind you, just have someone come tell me, presumably, how much more money it will cost to fix.
He kept telling me how they didn't do it; even after I acknowledged that this didn't happen during the install. He said that someone must have broken it, but it wasn't them. I tried to explain that it's an unused portion of the counter (behind our range) and the heaviest thing near it is a spoon rest. He must have told me no less than ten times that they didn't break it, and was unable, or more likely unwilling, to grasp the concept of me suggesting they waive the $250 for the sake of customer service. This wasn't 5 years later, this wasn't kids hanging off of an edge that broke it .. this is a brand new counter and I suggested that they should be more willing to stand behind the quality of their product, and have someone come out to look at what's going on - we never even got to discuss the fix.
He was adamant that it would cost $250, telling me he doesn't know what happened. "I don't know what to tell ya, it's not the product, stone doesn't just break", and someone in my family must have broken it. "There's nothing wrong with the product." - to which I replied that the genesis for my call is that it is, in fact, broken. Again he told me they didn't do it and someone must have broken it. Ok, so much for customer service. I'd have been willing to pay for the repair, I just didn't want to pay $250 to have someone come over and look at it to tell me it's going to be X more to fix.
We should have gone elsewhere in hindsight, but hopefully this review (and I'm now seeing a ton of others) steer you somewhere else. They're a big company and could not care less about a small time customer.
If that wasn't bad enough, our sales guy while walking their lot with me told me not to get marble in the kitchen - not only because it is easy to stain, and a pain to maintain, which is true, but because "that's what homos use". Super. Shame on me for uncomfortably laughing that off and using them anyhow; paying for it now. Buyer beware. Even if it looks great when they finish up, you're on your own after that. No integrity. read more
