They said "yes" it will and if it goes on sale within 30 days of my purchase I could come back and they would refund me the difference.

He was patient, knowledgeable, right-on point on all our needs. We left with a better solution of our problem than the one we had in our minds.

We were treated abysmally by The Finishing Store in Nanaimo…read more We arranged in October 2017 for the installation and purchase of materials for the stair railing system in our new build house in the Cowichan Valley. A year later, in September 2018 when it was time for the stairs, we contacted the store. It was necessary to go to the store to prove that we had an agreement to do the installation. The manager of the store came to our house and told us that the stair design would never be accepted by the building department. This was not true. We obtained approval of the design within days and communicated this to the store. Then, we heard for nothing two weeks. Finally, after we made repeated telephone calls and left email messages, the manager told us that The Finishing Store did not have an installer that would do the work. We were abandoned, imperiling the completion of our house. We recommend against doing business with this company under any circumstances. BTW, The stair system was installed by a local company in Duncan. It looks great. We wish we had known about and contacted this local compnay before we ever heard of The Finishing Store.
