Within a few weeks of the install the molding fell off and the drawers became misaligned and wouldn't shut. The doors do not line up with the openings and the plastic is chipping off. We spent more on this island than we did on our other cabinetry. This establishment should be ashamed to treat a customer this way. I reported them to the BBB and still no resolution. Dont be fooled by the store front and the smooth talk of the sales associates. This is a business with no integrity pushing sub-standard products. If you need pictures I have them available. My island has become a joke in my family. We are waiting for it to collapse so we can send the picture to the store.
While we were considering the kitchen remodel, Mike did spend a fair amount of time with us helping to make selections and allowed use to take home samples to look at in our place. In this regard, he was great. However, he did promise us that the job would be all done in 1 week and this would occur 4-6 weeks after making our deposit. We happily payed the deposit looking forward to the job.
Unfortunately, this is where things went wrong. There were significant delays on their part in getting the granite subcontractor to do our counters, and they did not inform me of this. Finally, after not hearing from them, I called and discovered the problem. It took several phone calls to push them to figure out when the job would start. I was making these phone calls, the owner or his staff never pro-actively called me to keep communication open.
Ultimately, work began on the floor while they were trying to find anyone to cut my granite. The floor guy that they sent out took almost a week and a half to get the job done, as he really only worked about 4-6 hours each day, and one day called me late in the morning and told me he just wasn't going to come and work that day. This is unacceptable behavior for any contractor, let alone when i am taking time to make my schedule so that I could be there. Additionally, when he left, he left my garage a mess with scraps and dust from his work that he did not bother to clean up.
Finally, when the granite did come nearly a month after the work started on the job, the installation team arrived late and installed imperfectly cut granite. The sink edges were not straight and the sink bowl was not aligned appropriately. Additionally, the counter overhang on the cabinets was inconsistent by as much as >1/4 inch. Was easy to see with the naked eye. They measured the kitchen by hand without the use of a level or a square, rather than using technology such as lasers or computer generated images which are now standard in the industry as far as I can tell. I called Mike immediately and told him he needed to come and see it. He did the next day, and agreed that the work was not well done but continued to tell me that it was "within industry tolerances" and better than some granite work that he has seen.
Ultimately, the original installer did come and make some adjustments and to his credit, Mike did pay for a special granite repair person to come and fix the glaring issues with the sink at his own expense. However, this also resulted in me having to spend additional time and effort to arrange and be there for the work. Finally, the job was completed to an acceptable level approximately 3 months after signing a contract with him. I would emphasize that the job was acceptable quality, not exceptional or anything close to the high quality that he had promised.
In total, I would never use Walls, Floors, and More again for any work. I understand that problems can occur, but he and his staff continued to make excuses rather than openly communicate with me. Multiple times I received inconsistent stories from Mike and his staff about the status of my job. He yelled at me on the phone because at times he was so upset at me being persistent in trying to get my job done. To add salt to the wound, there were some items that he ordered for me claiming they would work but didn't, and I ended up paying for them simply to close this nasty and unfortunate chapter.
Buyer Beware!
1. The staff member that helped us at first seemed to know about tile and color, but as we moved through the process we realized that she didn't know much else - fixtures, bathtubs, how to order other products. She was also very delayed in returning phone calls. We had communicated that we had been without an upstairs shower for 6 months and yet she would sometimes not return a phone call for a week.
2. When deciding whether we wanted to replace the bathtub, the staff seemed hesitant to want to sell us a bathtub. After initially being told that they could order 3 different brands of bathtubs, the owner stepped in and told us that they only stand
behind Kohler products.
3. When the work began there were several miscommunications between the company and the workers they subcontracted with. This resulted in workers not showing up when they were scheduled and supplies not being delivered. When the workers did arrive the 1st day, they were surprised to see that the old tile and wall hadn't been removed. The workers on the 1st day were so frustrated with Walls, Floors, and More, they told us that they no longer wanted to work for that company and that they wouldn't be back to complete the work.
4. When a 2nd worker came back to complete the job 1 box of tile from our order was never given to him and he thought he had to "make do" with what he had. This resulted in him using tile that was cut unevenly and installing it anyway, when there was another entire box of tile that we had ordered and paid for that had been misplaced.
5. The 2nd worker chipped the enamel on our bathtub in about 20 places. He also did not leave clean grout lines. The tile that we had chosen was not smooth as it was designed to have a natural rock look, but the grout lines are very uneven - way too wide in some places and smear into the tile ridges in others. The owner had claimed that he insists that his workers use 1/8 inch grout lines but there are places where the grout is 1/2 or more thick. 2 of the tiles that were cut to fit around the window cracked after he installed them.
6. The company promised to come back and repair the 2 cracked tiles, but never did.
7. The worst problem was that the Walls, Floors and More staff person that came to our house initially to look at the space, measure and give us an estimate mis-estimated the job. We had offered to do the demo work ourselves to save some money and she told us not to bother because it wouldn't affect the cost. When the 1st group of workers arrived and were frustrated to find that the demo work was not complete, the owner told us he thought the work was already done. In the end we were charged extra for the demo work that we were told was included in our estimate.
A terrible experience start to finish. We hired this company because they claimed to stand behind quality work and offer a fair price. We got neither.
Reading through the other reviews of this company on Angie's List and the company's responses - its the same experience I had. Bad service, bad quality work, and a bunch of excuses.
in the end, I went with another company mostly just because of the final design - I gave three companies my budget, goals, and options desired (for example, the countertop was the most important issue for me - ending up with Caesarstone), and it was mostly chance that made my selection of one of those two companies over Walls Floors and More.
"It is difficult to respond to a concern that is being raised THREE YEARS later. At this point, we have no way of knowing what actually occurred, who waited on this person, or any of the circumstances. All stories have two sides to them; unfortunately, in this case, we have no way to put any perspective on this. We can only hope that Angies Customer's are able to look at these statements and judge for themselves whether we really are like this, or if we are the company that BBB rates as A+ and Google rates as a 4.5 out of 5 with over 20 reviews."
"While we regret that you are disappointed, we are puzzled. We can find no record of you having been in the store, nor do we have any quotes on file for you. Therefore, we are at a loss to explain how you received an "outrageous" quote from us. As with any retail establishment, there can be times--particularly on a Saturday, our busiest day--when it is extremely busy, making it difficult to give each customer the time and attention we would like to offer. In those situations, we usually try and set up an appointment with customers who are seeking more time and assistance, so that we can fully devote our attention to their needs. Our apologies if we did not meet your needs, and if you would like to contact us to set up an appointment, we would be glad to do so."
"Walls, Floors, & More has been serving the Pittsburgh community for almost 15 years. We regret that the member has chosen to respond in this manner; however, some of her facts are in error. Our customers are informed that special orders generally take two weeks, and our special order contract states the same. In this case, the tile was backordered and therefore arrived at our distributor several days past that time. We sent someone to pick up the tile that day and hand deliver it to the store so as to not delay the member further. Mike did indeed remind the member of the advice we give our customers, and it is the same advice we give all of our customers placing special orders. Please do not ever schedule an installation unless and until you have all the materials in your possession. Nothing that is special ordered can be guaranteed to arrive on a certain date---regardless of where it is purchased. Unfortunately, the member is not accurate with respect to communication--Mike and other staff members corresponded with both of them numerous times to keep them informed of our attempts to get the tile delivered as soon as possible. Finally, with respect to the bullnose, it was not bullnose that was at issue but outside corners. The member provided the amounts and list of materials. When the tile was to be installed, the member indicated that she wanted outside corners instead of mitering two bullnose pieces. Unfortunately, outside corners were not stocked for that particular tile--the only way to get corners was through a special custom order program that takes several weeks over and above the normal ordering time. Even though the error was not the company's, we offered to take back the "incorrect" bullnose at no cost and order the custom pieces. The members chose not to do so, since it would have involved waiting. We pride ourselves on taking care of our customers and regret that the members do not feel they had a good experience. We are an accredited member of the BBB, with an A+ rating, and belong to their Arbitration program as well. We do not believe this experience is a fair characterization of our company, our service, or our people."
