Response from Creative Mirror & Shower
While we never did any actual business with this customer, we offer our most sincere apology that they had a negative experience when cancelling their previously scheduled free in home estimate. Allen Pritikin is the 80 year old founder of Creative Mirror and Shower and his passion and pride, on occasion can cause him to get emotional or assertive, although the intentions are to do the right thing for the customer. Allen is now aware of this complaint and he is sorry he upset the customer. We will learn from the consumer feedback and work towards continued improvement. At the heart of that passion is the fact that far too often consumers end up with shower doors that have poor quality hardware and incorrectly sized glass. Unfortunately, once a custom shower door is installed wrong, it most often cannot be rectified without significant expense for glass replacement. Almost every single day, Creative Mirror gets calls from consumers who have major problems with shower doors that we did not install, and the original glass shop is either not in business or nonresponsive. It is from this perspective that we had hoped the customer would not cancel the free estimate. Creative Mirror & Shower is going on its fifth decade in business. To provide our customers with lasting installations, we go to great lengths to source the best quality products, working closely with leading hardware and glass vendors, both in the USA and in Europe. Our core philosophy is to never setup a customer for failure by installing subpar products. We offer free planning and design with experienced "product knowledge experts" to help make sure that your contractor properly constructs your shower door opening, which is vitally important. We operate full service showrooms that allow you to see functioning displays and talk with knowledgeable staff, which is the best way to know for sure what you are buying. Creative Mirror is still owned by the same family as day one in 1972 when Allen started this business in his basement and the second generation has been running the company since 1991. Many of our employees have 10, 20, even 30+ years dedicated service, and our company enjoys an A+ rating and full accreditation awarded by the Better Business Bureau. We sincerely hope that we have the opportunity to earn your business and we look forward to making you a satisfied customer. Sincerely, Mark Pritikin, President
