This review was written by my husband:
Stay far, far away from this place. I'm retired with 40+ years in the construction trades. My wife and I live in a home that I built with my own two hands 27 years ago, so I've been around the block a few times so to speak. Even though our original laminate kitchen countertops are still in perfect condition, I thought I would give my wife a great Christmas surprise by upgrading them to quartz which is something she has wanted for a long time. Of course when I sprung the news, she was ecstatic. So we began deciding on what color and type of quartz we would go with. We looked around online at different choices and soon decided what we wanted. A week before Christmas we went to Rock Counter in Schererville, IN. Upon entering the store, we were impressed by their showroom which gave us a good feeling. I already drew a very detailed and accurate computer layout of what we needed and had the drawing with me. We spoke with a salesman for about 30 minutes and chose the quartz that we wanted. Because the salesman had my detailed drawing showing EXACTLY what we needed, it was easy for him to work up a quote, or so I thought. We agreed on the price and put down $100 so they could come to our home and measure the tops. Due to the holidays, they could not come out until Jan 4 which was fine with us. An employee arrived on Jan 4 as planned and measured the tops, (which were exactly as I had drawn) and told us it would be sometime the next day when we would hear from the office with a definite quote, so far so good. The next day came and we waited for a call that never came. The following day I called them to see if there was a problem and low and behold, they blew the original quote due to forgetting to add the labor for fabrication and installation, to the tune of 2K, yes $2000! As you can imagine, I was a bit upset to say the least. We cordially went back and forth and they ended up offering "wholesale" price which reduced the 2K increase to $1600, still a lot of money. We agreed to that and went back to the store to draw up the final contract. We then signed it and paid in full for the countertops. The installation date was set for the following week. Three days before our installation date, they called me with totally unbelievable news. They said the fabricator informed them that our tops would need two slabs of the quartz to make them and the quote they gave me, (which was already paid in full) was based on one slab and now it would be an additional $3300. Now I'm a patient guy but my patience was long gone by this point. To make matters worse, I already had our existing countertops torn out. I drove to the store and what ensued was even more unbelievable. The manager was extremely rude and condescending. He told us our contract was null and void because we only paid for one slab of quartz. Now mind you, it is NOT the customer's job to figure out how many slabs of material it is going to take to make the tops required in the drawing! That is SOLELY on them to determine the amount of material it will take to fabricate the job, PERIOD! This was supposed to be a fun and exciting time for my wife and they now had her in tears, despicable to say the least. I got a full refund and left the store. As I said at the beginning, do yourself a favor and stay clear of this place. read more
