Water on countertop after carefully washing up because sink is ridiculously small.

Ruby gave us a price of around $1300, which included two under mount sinks. Before 6-7-19, Ruby said she would come out to take a measurement. She was delayed several hours. She could not add half and quarter inches in her head...she said she is not good with numbers(?!) 6-17, Ruby texted, telling - not asking - that they would be installing on 6-24. I texted back that day won't work. Ruby called, scheduled it for 6-19 8am. No one showed up. I sent Ruby a text at 11:34am. An hour later she said they'd be there in 30 min. No apology. 1:30pm they arrived. One of the installers, (from a company called Rockford Marble in Elmhurst, which is partly owned by Stone Illusionz), ran out of the house. Apparently Stone Illusionz takes a rough measurement and tells Rockford Marble to cut the slab down, and then Rockford Marble does a final measurement when it's time to do the installation, and they cut it in the front lawn, then they install. The installer from Rockford Marble was telling me how Ruby doesn't know what she's doing, how her husband is even worse, how Ruby, "should never leave the office." He also tells me how lazy Ruby and her husband are and when they bring a sink to Rockford Marble they make an installer fetch it from their trunk. The installer continued to tell me how Ruby measured the countertop too small, so it was cut too small, and ordered sinks that are too large. We were never told what size sink the holes were cut for, we were only told, by the subcontracted Rockford Marble, that we needed, "smaller sinks." Then Ruby sent me a text: "...we will be installing the vanity on Monday. I will let you know the time on Saturday." The same 6-24 that I said would not work. I texted: "....Monday the 24th still does not work for us...". Instead of accepting that and finding another day, Ruby texts me twice asking me to call - trying to get me to agree to the 24th!! I felt that was unprofessional and disrespectful. Ruby texted the installation would happen 6-26, closer to 10am. They showed at 10:40am and later I noticed the sinks were tiny. When I asked who approved such a small sink, Ruby called and said it was Marty, our GC. I called the GC and he said he never would have approved it since it didn't go through him. So Ruby lied. Ricky from Best Buy Carpets and Granite came to our house and confirmed 18" undermount sinks would fit. He also pointed out that none of the marbling lines matched up. On 7-22 I asked Ruby to remind me who authorized 15" x 10" sinks. Ruby: " When my guys went the first time to install they said [my husband] was there and they showed him that besides the vanity being cut wrong the sinks are to big fir the cabinet. Then I got a text from Marty ...are the sinks too big. So I guess one of you spoke to Marty.Then I called my installers and they said yes the owner also saw and these sinks are big . That's when we went with the smaller sinks." We *never* were given a change order in writing stating the sinks would be that small. We were *never* told, nor was our GC the measurements of the new, smaller sinks. I texted Ruby back: "[GC] told me he never authorized smaller sinks. That you guys were working directly with us. My husband said he was never told the sinks would be only 15"...We had another company [verify] 18" sinks *will* fit in this vanity... We wouldn't have authorized [15" sink]. I would appreciate...a refund to cover the costs to go with a different company to fix this issue. When will you let me know about a refund?" Ruby's immediate response: "I dis agree that my guys are wrong! We have been installing for past 25 years. Unfortunately, I cannot issue any refunds." I want to also mention there were black lines on the countertop from the markings Stone Illusionz or Rockford Marble drew on it to cut the sink and to mark where the sinks would go. I have pictures of this. I have pictures of the ridiculously small sinks and how, even being careful, it was impossible to keep the water from splashing everywhere. Best Buy Carpets and Granite showed me how Rockford Marble put deep gashes underneath and how they don't install like that. They also showed me how Rockford Marble used filler and sloppily filled a hole in underneath, and how most of the brackets weren't really secure. Our experience with Stone Illusionz/Rockford Marble was that they are rude, unprofessional, sloppy, no attention to detail, a complete lack of customer service, oh, and they were $300 MORE than Best Buy Carpets and Granite, so they're also overpriced. Hopefully this will help someone not to make the same mistake as I did. #bewarestoneillusionz

This was the worst decision we have ever made. I am giving this company 1 star because the granite turned out great; however, we had 4 sinks replaced and they were all leaking. It took them 4 visits to get them corrected. Lastly, the backsplash project was and is a nightmare. The grout is cracking after only a few days all along my back countertop and along the entire side where the sink is. Kevin came to "correct" cracked tiles and grout and was nothing but arrogant, inconsiderate, and unable to complete the job to my satisfaction. I will now have to hire a new contractor to put caulk instead of grout where the two planes meet (which should have been done in the first place). This experience was a complete nightmare. Run the opposite direction. This project was finished 2 weeks ago and the grout looks like it was done 10 years ago.

We recently had granite countertops and a sink installed by Stone Ilusionz and absolutely love them! The entire experience was pleasant and professional. When I first visited the showroom, Ruby greeted me with a smile and was able to quickly provide an estimate based on drawings I provided and slabs that I had already selected. She arranged for the slabs to be picked up and transported to their fabrication shop and even met us there to ensure we were happy with the slab quality, and to discuss how and where the granite would be cut to optimize the overall flow of the stone. The countertops were fabricated and installed a couple days later (9 business days after my initial visit to their showroom). The piece for our island was rather large and the installers did a great job carefully and creatively maneuvering it through the front door. After installation, we noticed a couple minor issues and contacted Ruby. She arranged to have the installers return and they were able to quickly remedy the issues on site. I thanked Ruby and she kindly replied, "No problem. It's my job and my pleasure to make sure the customer is satisfied." That goes a long way in my book, given that companies who truly value customer service / satisfaction are few and far between these days! Overall, I would highly recommend Stone Illusionz. The pricing is competitive, the service is excellent and the craftsmanship is beautiful!

I just had my kitchen done by this company and I can not say enough about how great my experience was. I did granite countertop and backsplash and Ruby was the best!!! Very helpful in helping me make choices and the people that did the work were professional and very very good at keeping work area clean! For me I appreciated it being one stop shopping from picking out granite and backsplash plus hardware and faucets including all installation. I would not hesitate going there.

The finished small backsplash they came back to install!

We went to Stone Illusionz to look into new counter tops. We initially met with Ruby and she could almost read our minds in regards to what we wanted. That was refreshing!! We then went out to their warehouse to look at a full slab or quartz to make sure we liked it as a much larger piece. It was exactly what Ruby showed us at her show room. We then started the process to order the slab and have it installed.. Her crew came to our house the following day after picking the slab to take the initial measurements for the layout of our kitchen.. The crew came to install the counter tops approximately 10 days later and it was all done in about 3 hours from demo to completion.. They even scheduled the plumbers to come and install a new faucet and reinstall a separate water faucet. During the demolition process there was a bit of drywall that was ripped off and they came back to add a beautiful small backsplash to really finish the arThe entire process from start to finish was seemless and very easy..

We had the best experience remodeling our kitchen. Ruby and the crew were absolutely spectacular. She was patient and helped guide me when I needed it, was super responsive when I had questions, I can't say enough good things. They respected my budget, time, concerns, everything. Already planning future projects. Would and will recommend to everyone!!

While I have not personally used Liam Brex for a kitchen or bath remodel, their brick and mortar…read morespeaks for itself. I've been to this showroom space twice now for a couple different cooking classes -- once for a New Orleans dinner pairing with Chef Che and another time for an Irish Soda bread baking moms-night-out with Ask Aunt V. The front of the show room boasts a beautiful island, kitchen cabinets, and an oven range to die for. It's a great spot for mingling and enjoying examples of what Liam Brex has to offer. In the back is another kitchen set up with yet another gorgeous island, oven range, built in drawers, and surprise refrigerators. I loved the wine cellar cabinet and fridge space in the island! I have to say, it's pretty genius to utilize their space after hours for local events. Not only is it the perfect place for gathering , cooking, or baking, but a wonderful opportunity for Liam Brex to introduce their work. I've lived in Naperville most of my life and had no idea this was here despite them being founded back in 2007. I know down the line a kitchen and bath remodel will be in our future, so I will for sure be keeping this business in mind for guidance.

So perfect, you can't see a seam?…read more Five stars is not enough! A friend referred me to this local countertop shop. I had lived with new marble top installed by previous homeowner in my kitchen since I moved in 8 years ago. But.. the pattern was very busy, never had a nice sheen, and when I placed a clear drinking glass on it, you easily missed it? (You can't miss it in one of the pictures below.) First visit was to their Batavia facility to take home samples and discuss approximate costs with a very knowledgeable and personable staff. Second visit was to my home to measure. Third was at their site with templates of my layout on the actual slab so I could see the grain and seam alignment as it would appear in finished countertop. This was fantastic because as much as I loved the pattern I had selected, I did not like the way it would appear completed. With NO pressure at all, I was encouraged to choose from similar patterns on their many other slabs of quartz so I could get the look I wanted. Templates were placed on another choice and the veins looked like they would match close at the seam. Three professionals arrived promptly at 8am and departed at 11am (perfectly as promised) and the finished job was more than I ever imagined. I had to really search for the seam but could only feel it as it is perfect... can you find it in the picture? (HINT: blue post-its align on seam in second image.)
