I am rarely inclined to post a review on a business as not many businesses impress me. I have to…read moresay I am incredibly impressed with this company. From Leo the owner meeting with us after business hours to accommodate our schedule which set a great first impression. I worked with Rich whom I think it as the project manager there and I have to say, Rich hands down is the best project manager I have ever worked with. He was incredibly patient with me and helped me select the quartz countertops I wanted. He showed me a variety and I was not sold on most of them. He even did his own research using Pinterest pictures of what I wanted until he found the slab I've been dreaming of! Rich kept me informed along the way, texted/called back within minutes if I had a question. I changed my mind on the quartz slab 3 different times and he was incredibly patient. If you're thinking of renovating your kitchen, this is hands down the company you want to work with. What a dream team! The guys who installed the slab were great, and really took their time in installing the countertops, and cleaned them beautifully before they left and did not leave an ounce of trash behind. So grateful for Leo and Rich and I wish them continued success!

Update 11/8/20: see comments on my personal Facebook page…read more(Maureen Holmes) for comments on Robin Boyce after posting my review there. Unfortunately I am not the only one who has endured a bad experience with her. MH I warn anyone who will listen away from this unethical business and owner Robin Boyce. I had the misfortune to be her client and endure her careless, unprofessional, dishonest and ultimately abusive and vulgar treatment. My "custom kitchen" arrived without the custom elements and with a grossly oversized refrigerator. The kitchen designer blames someone else for a major kitchen error and refuses to fix it! (See photos) I had the exact same experience with the shutters and the custom stair-runner I ordered from her. They were both delivered with errors and missing parts, and Design West has done NOTHING to correct its errors. This is the worst experience I've ever had with another human being, period. I never received an apology on any mistake I swear to God. That's when I realized too late I had hired the wrong person. Robin Boyce/Design Center West scammed me by promising professional results and delivering dirt. Robin Boyce then turned verbally abusive when confronted with her easily disproved lies. (I have all documentation to prove my charges.) This last point deserves special mention. When I expressed my dismay at the errors, delays and lack of accountability, her demeanor shifted immediately from friendly to combative and borderline violent. It was a shock to learn the owner wasn't just a sleaze but mentally unhinged too. When I confronted her in her store after she ignored my contractor's emails and texts, she began screaming profanities at me while hurling insults about my appearance and character, which I presumed was an intimidation tactic. That felt sickening, but it worsened when she came at me with her arm pulled back as if to throw a punch, but thankfully she stopped herself before landing her fist in my face. I feel certain the only thing that stopped her was a possible assault charge. I would feel sorry for Ms Boyce if she wasn't a thief, and if her emotional instability didn't manifest in such an ugly manner. But no mental state excuses her dishonesty, mentally healthy or not. Not a word of this review is hyperbole. I lost thousands of dollars and was blindsided by a venomous verbal assault because I had the temerity to call out Robin Boyce on her mendacity and fraud. I could provide a colorful litany of her actions, but suffice it to say that it involved a lot of obscene finger, hip and hand gestures. Incidentally, her staff just sat there like dummies the entire time and let it all happen. Apparently they don't have an issue working for such a repulsive woman. Prior to my dealings with her, Robin was verbally abusive to my contractor on multiple occasions as well when he asked her about delayed deliverables. Following is an example of one the few correspondences between him and Robin that isn't littered with her F-bombs: "Shut up. Stop talking. Don't tell me what to do. Its not Maureen... its you. I'm surprised guys take your mouth, and the way you talk down to others; I suspect you've been punched a few times." This is the first---and I hope last--bad review I ever had to write. Let this brutally honest review serve as a public service announcement to warn others away from this troublemaker. Do not hire Design Center West. You will pay a premium for sloppy, mediocre results, and the owner will curse you when you express your dissatisfaction. This has been a yearlong nightmare that only ended after I hired someone else to fix all of her mistakes. Caveat emptor!

Robin helped me from start to finish with my new house build. She has done everything from the…read morekitchen (appliances, cabinets) to the tile for all bathrooms, to the stone veneer for the patio. Even during the pandemic she has been on top of things and instructing me to get things ordered prior to shipment delays. She and her team have been responsible, proactive, and truly professional. They are communicating with my contractor and his team and his cabinet installer told me it was such a pleasure working with them he would like to do more jobs with them. Any mistakes (Fedex dropped a vanity and it cracked) were handled quickly and replaced at no cost to me. Her attention to detail is incredible. Additionally, she was very focused on saving me money and making sure I was not buying things I did not need. It has been a true pleasure working with Robin and her team again. I cannot say enough good things about them!

I had Granite Bros replace my existing countertops with granite approximately six years ago. Since…read morethen I refurbished an old set of cabinets and base drawers and needed to replace that countertop with matching granite. Luis responded immediately and within one week installed the countertop and even decided to put a piece on my trash/ recycling cabinet which was a wonderful surprise! The work this company does is top notch and their prices can't be beat. I have never dealt with a company that focuses as much as they do on customer satisfaction. The countertops are absolutely beautiful and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. Thank you Luis for your excellent customer service!

Julio and mustard-not spelling correctly and I apologize; they arrived on time. I originally…read morerequested a cut only, as I was told it needed one cut. But when Luis sent over the estimate, he included this; "We will make sure it fits before we leave." Smart man. And guess what, Luis was right. The wood on the cabinet underneath was not allowing the cook top to fit and it too needed to be cut. The men picked up the cook top a few times in order to try to see if it fits. Very personable, kind men. The only thing I didn't like was the dust but when you have to cut granite inside a house, it can't be avoided, unless they tape up plastic. But, you still get dust. The estimate was 275-475 and it completed the work for 325 cash. We are very happy with this company and would recommend them.

Updating my previous review in 2025. I'm now a returning customer at Boston Stone Works and Mona is…read morestill awesome. I did a partial kitchen reno and needed to match the existing quartz counters that Mona's team installed last time. Ran into a problem: they didn't have any remnants in that color, and I'd have to purchase a whole slab just to match a little section. Mona came to the rescue! She offered me a remnant of a different color that she promised matches really really closely the original color. And since the new section was to be installed across from the old one (not contiguous), it would be very hard to tell. Sure enough, it worked out perfectly and Mona saved me a lot of money by finding a creative solution. Just like last time, I was doing this long distance without seeing anything in person. With contractors there is always drama or miscommunications, especially if you are not there to supervise. Not with Mona. Her reliability, attention to detail, and smart problem-solving in every project, no matter how small, give me total peace of mind. And the prices are still very reasonable, even years later! Thank you so much!

I…read moreordered 4 types of tile, and it ended up arriving in 3 different shipments for a total delay of 4 weeks on my project. I understand that sometimes delays and unforseen events can happen, but I don't appreciate how many times I was told that my order was going to "definitely arrive this friday", or "I will call you and let you know where your order is", or my favorite "I will personally deliver the order to your house as soon as it comes off the truck". This was the first time I've ever had to buy tile or remodel a room. I wouldn't go back to this place. I don't know if other places are better, but to protect myself in the future I'll make sure to select materials way in advance from now on.

We are so happy that they were expedient, skilled in their workmanship, and went above and beyond to make sure we were overly happy with the results.
