Stay away from this place. These people do not what good customer service is.
We purchased cabinets and granite counter top for our kitchen and a small bathroom. The buying process was good. Kathy was good to work with. Two weeks prior to the installation date, we went to the yard to pick our counter tops. The granite was still in the creates, and the people there took about 45 minutes to get two labs, they broke one, and the one who operates the folk lift almost broke the other one. I told my wife to get out of there before someone gets hurt. We went back a week later, the granite were still in the create, the install date was a week away so we waited to pick out our slabs. The man who operates the folk lift complains in cantonese that we're too picky because we did not want the slab has a chip the size of a quarter (he didn't know that my wife can speak cantonese). What a crock! anyway, it took almost an hour for us to pick three slabs. Couldn't wait to get out of there. The next day, Saturday was the cabinets installation day, guess who shows up? the boss who complained that we did not take the slab that has a chip. He and a younger guy took the whole Saturday, but did not complete the job. They left and said they will come back tomorrow (Sunday) to finish the job. They did not come on Sunday. My wife called Monday morning, and was told that the boss went to China. WTF???? I also notice that the GFI outlet under one of the cabinets was broken. I called to complain, and the first thing they said was "our guys didn't do it". How do they know? They weren't there?
The fun never cease...
The following Saturday was the counter top installation date. And, the cabinet guy also coming back to finish the job. By they way, they nickle and dime me, and i had to pay about $66 for some thin pieces of wood that they install on the sides of the cabinets on both sides of the sink. But, that was a small price to pay. Three guys came to install the granite counter tops (one was in shorts and crocs). I told them to walk on the card board boxes because we had just refinished our hardwood floors. As soon as i said that the guy in shorts and crocs walked on the floor where there was no card board boxes.... where do they find these guys? They went to work. Until I come in to check how they were going to install the undermount kitchen sink. They said we don't need to install plywood under the granite because it's 3cm. I said fine. But, then they used a thin piece of plywood and cut a hole for the sink, then screwed the plywood to the sides of the cabinets. Now, we have a one inch width piece of plywood around the sink to support its weight. How is that going to hold the sink and the weight of the garbage disposal? I told them to use a thicker piece of plywood, and brackets to secure the sink to the granite. They said I don't know what i am talking about, the installer had done it for 7 yrs, and installed hundreds of jobs and never any complains, blah, blah, blah. Long story short, they do not know how to install an undermount kitchen sink properly. So, i am going to hire a professsional installer to install my kitchen sink. They said it was my false that i didn't have the brackets, and they have to come back, and they have to charge $250 for the return trip. Well, if you do it right the first time, then you don't have to make the second trip. John (the one i talked to from Pius was an idiot. Sally was okay. She has a tough job due to how Pius operates their business). John, go to utube and see how an undermount kitchen sink should be installed.
I am tired of dealing with these people. Trying to save a buck, and the hassle is just NOT worth it. Should had gone with Costco or even Home Depot. I could had enjoyed my kitchen now instead of dealing with the Pius people. I'd rather eat dead crows.
I am now having a half done kitchen, and a deep sense of regret of having dealing with Pius. Like I said before. Stay away from this place. read more
