C&O Tile, Inc. Showroom & Design Center.
We service the Tri-State area, mostly central to western Maryland, the West Virginia panhandle, as well as parts of northern Virginia and Pennsylvania.
My husband and I were shopping for a kitchen backsplash and wanted to work with a local store instead of going to a box home store. Cand O was extremely patient in helping us to select a kitchen backsplash. We spent many hours at their showroom. There was some disorganization where the salesperson could not find sales books, etc, in their store. Our salesperson was not comfortable with computer use and this hindered our ability to make a selection. An appt. was set to come to our home to measure and give an estimate. The husband and wife team called to say they could not come as scheduled and arrived many hours late. If coming to our home during business hours was problem, they should have scheduled us after store hours. This was inconsiderate and unprofessional. When they did come, many measurements were taken and decisions made about where the stone backsplash would be installed and also about new outlet covers to match. We accepted the contract about a week later and gave a 1/3 deposit of $1000. The owner suggested work would begin in about 2-3 weeks. As it turned out, work began 6 weeks later. Their was no communication from them concerning this delay. When the installers arrived, they had none of the info on the decisions we had made 7 weeks earlier about details of the installation. My husband called me at work and we had to try to remember what we had decided via photos sent via email. The owner mentioned that he would stop by during the 3 day installation. He never did. The installers quickly noticed that a design we had decided on would not look well at all. He was able to suggest an alternate design that turned out beautiful. Why didn't the salesperson realize this when we planned out the design? The installers were fabulous. They were extremely experienced in their craft and installed an absolutely beautiful stone backsplash. Cand O did not have the outlet covers ready for the install. They were provided in a few days. Attention to detail by our salesperson was poor. We made it clear that we were interested in doing business with them for multiple projects. You would think they would have done their best knowing that we were potentially a money making client. That just didn't seem to matter.

Response from C & O Tile
C&O Tile appreciated the opportunity to work with the members on their kitchen backsplash. Our #1 goal is complete customer satisfaction, so we appreciate the feedback as this will give us the opportunity to make improvements in our Showroom and Design Center. We would like to address some of the concerns that were mentioned in the report: • As experienced, skilled professionals in this business for over 24 years, we understand the investment costs that go into any type of remodel or new design that we help our clients choose and install. Because of this fact, we do not charge for our design services. It is true that one of our highly skilled Design Specialist and knowledgable staff spent hours with the member’s working to choose a design that fit their taste and style. • In this ever-changing industry, we are in the process of remodeling sections of our Showroom in order to offer the most trendsetting and up-to-date selections, thus the slight confusion in locating brochures. • All of our appointments are set during business hours unless our client request an evening appointment. Occasionally, as business owners, an issue will arise that needs immediate attention. While we strive to keep all appointments on schedule, we did have an instance where we could not keep our appointment with the member’s. Before our scheduled appointment time, we contacted them and explained we could come at a later time if this was acceptable. They informed us “that was fine” as they were at home mowing grass. • Standard order and install is in a two-three week timeframe, but the member’s selection included a Special Order tile and our ship date was affected which in turn affected our entire job schedule. We agree the member’s should have been kept informed of this delay. • Our installers did have the layout drawing of the member’s backsplash, but the actual tile was not the size the vendor advertised. This particular design could have easily been installed exactly as the drawing showed, but our knowledgeable installer cares about his work and our clients happiness , therefore, he suggested changes/adjustments onsite. • The switch plate covers that were chosen required one to be custom made, which resulted in the delay of install. This was done by C&O Tile at no additional charge. At C&O Tile, we take pride in our reputation and growing family of return clients. It is very unfortunate that the members have chosen to take their additional projects elsewhere and we wish them the best of luck.
