EDIT: the store manager (Minette) reached out personally by phone because she'd seen my review, understood the frustration, and wanted to apologize and discuss my experience and how to make it better. I'm leaving the original review below but with this note to clarify that even though my experience was negative, management at PC Home Center understands, empathizes, and wants to improve. And it is a pretty nice show room with a good selection of products after all. :)
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Wasted my time, wasted my money. Came in for replacement doors and was advised to buy slabs cut-to-measure -- sounded great, so I took the plunge. Doors arrive (~20 of them), get painted by painter, then I discover that the store rep, the same one who gave me the guide on "handing," went ahead and changed the handing notes I gave him so that 1/3 of the doors I received were cut wrong (in addition to a few being cut to the wrong size). Reached back out with the issue, several times, no response, and finally stopped in the store to learn that he was no longer with the company and no one had picked up his work or emails. Fast forward, they want to send a rep out from the supplier that cuts the doors, to verify measurements etc. -- sure thing, they come, then I hear nothing afterward again. Follow up, follow up, turns out there's yet ANOTHER guy who's been assigned my case, and they come out AGAIN to re-verify measurements etc. (all of which were correct from the start). Sidenote, the supplier even said that he would never have recommended custom cut slabe but rather pre-hung doors for my job. Anyway, I finally get assurance the doors will be replaced, but it's positioned as a favor that they correct their mistake, like I'm fortunate to work with such a great company -- no discount offered for the delays and trouble, no offer to re-paint the doors, nothing. Sure enough, I hear nothing, so I follow up, and I'm asked to re-send the list of doors I need (the incorrect doors having already been picked up -- and I told them to mark them as they were taking them, which clearly didn't help..). I send the list noting a few doors that I'd like tweaked since they're being replaced anyway (and since a number of the doors I received had large gaps around the frame from the supplier apparently rounding the numbers I gave so they could use "stock" sizes rather than the custom cuts I expected). Follow up again after hearing nothing, and the rep is traveling but I'm assured he'll be back. Follow up again and the rep doesn't respond, stop in and am told he's in a training somewhere out of state but surely he'll be in touch. Finally stop in again and find the rep, and he claims he called me several times to confirm the order and shows me some bizarre phone number they apparently have "on record" (although he had my email as well). Sends me an order to confirm that reads like Greek, but at least I noticed that a few doors for replacement were missing, so get those added. Fast forward again, finally receive the doors, they're not tweaked as he promised they would be, but I'm told I should be able to "shave off" the ends if needed because there's basically 2X4 framing inside. Well, after finally receiving them, painting them myself (an onerous task because although "primed" they required another primer to avoid looking terrible after painting), and setting them in place to discover they still don't fit, I just tried shaving 1/4 inch off of a door bottom, and now the bottom is completely open -- because it's only a 1/4 furring strip holding the hollow core door fronts together. I'm so frustrated, I wish I'd never walked through the door at this place. Sure, the showroom is nice, and they carry some products that other stores might not, but I'd encourage you to look around carefully before doing business here. read more
