    Glass tile from A-American @ 7777 N Cauldwell
    Phil S.

    When I initially did this review the only thing I talked about was the quartz countertop that was field measured, fabricated & installed when we redid our kitchen. In looking at this review I neglected to mention that A-American Custom Flooring does so much more then just the counter As the name suggests they also do flooring materials along w/installation if needed. They do a full range of materials from wood flooring to ceramic tiles to stone tiles. We ended up selecting a wood floor that matched the existing wood floor through the bedroom, dining area & living room. In hindsight I wish we selected something w/a harder finish as we have gotten several dings and dents in the flooring from objects we dropped. In addition to the quartz countertop selected we also found a beautiful glass tile that we used to match the base & overhead cabinets & at the same time compliment the quartz countertop selected. I think we did a nice job w/the color selection and the choice of materials, but there is always room for WHAT IF WE DID THIS INSTEAD? Overall I feel that A-American did a great job field measuring, fabricating & installing the countertop. The accuracy needs to be very precise so the counter fits properly. My house was built in 1940 (no I wasn't born yet) so the corners of the walls are not square. The measurements were done by laser measurements along points around the perimeter adjacent to the wall. The installers brought out this very heavy counter & precision fit it onto the base cabinet fitting it perfectly.

    Just some of the cracked tiles

    BUYER BEWARE. TURN AROUND AND GO SHOP SOMEWHERE ELSE. A-American flooring and A-American Contractors (counters and cabinets) are two separate company's but are incorporated in the same address with the same board president, Lonel Capalnas. Their websites and review pages are intertwined just read here on their Yelp profile how they advertise both their businesses under a single company name which is disingenuous and misleading. So if you run into a problem they all of a sudden act like they have nothing to do with each other. This store does not stand behind their products. They sold me defective white Roca 3x12 subway tile with glazing that cracked every which way. The manufacturer and A-America both claim that it was movement from poor installation. Even though 4 other walls of tile were installed the exact same way with the exact same tile and had zero cracks. Over 100 tiles were replaced by the same installer the exact same way and none of those replacement tiles cracked. This proved that the defects were in the particular boxes of tile not the installations. The cracks were only appearing on the originally installed tile. Untimely A-American only agreed to provide me 4 boxes of replacement tile which was only a fraction of the cost of the removal and replacement of their defective tile. With their shady business practices and failure to own up completely to the defective products that they sold me I highly recommend that you take your business elsewhere for any product that A-America and their sub companies sell.

    I couldn't be happier with my experience with Brian and Ovi at A-American. They supplied tile flooring, wall tile, quartz countertops, and sinks for two bathrooms and a kitchen all done at the same time. The materials were beautiful, prices were good, and the process was efficient and precise. Everything was on time and the quality of the materials and installation was excellent. Tile was installed by Tiles of Niles, Inc. and countertops were installed by A-American. Would use again and again.

Ofer was patient, knowledgeable, and never pushy -- he took the time to walk us through our options and helped us feel confident in our decisions. We went with Orange Cabinetry, a more budget-friendly brand that Ofer endorsed in terms of quality and customer service. Even though there was a delay in stock (which we were informed about in advance), the team encouraged us to stick with the sage green color we really loved instead of settling for something else just to speed things up. I'm so glad we waited -- the cabinets are beautiful, well-built, and exactly what we wanted. We've gotten a ton of compliments. Planet Cabinets also helped us source Jeffrey Alexander hardware, and their support with sizing and quantities made that process easy. Overall, we felt informed, supported, and never rushed. Highly recommend Planet Cabinets if you're looking for a company that balances affordability with honest, thoughtful service.

They helped us with the design of the cabinets and countertops. It was refreshing to hear their expert opinion without feeling like they are trying to up sell you. They really took the time out to understand our needs and created a perfect space for us.I looked forward to every meeting we had and absolutely love the finished product. Our cabinets and countertops came in shortly after we ordered them. They were completely on top of it and it was a relief to have everything ready so quickly. We got constant updates from them on the product and the install it really felt like an inclusive experience. I can't stress enough how easy they made the whole experience. They do great work and their quality and precision is second to none. My kitchen is my favorite room in the house and I can't wait to utilize them again when we do the mud room, laundry room, office and the garage. The possibilities they present are endless and extend well beyond the kitchen. It was the only room in the house that came out exactly like we planned. Thank you guys for such a wonderful experience!

    Awful experience working with G&G and particularly the owner Ephrem. Initially everything was fine…read morebut after his team put the doors on the cabinets two of them weren't level and it looked bad. No big deal, easy 10 minute fix that Ephrem said he would take care of. I chased him down for EIGHT WEEKS to come fix it. Finally I was fed up and told Ephrem I was starting to get pissed, and he called me and BLEW UP at me. He started yelling at me and cussing me out, saying that 'he doesn't sit in front of a f**king computer all day like you do' and that 'you don't buy cabinets from f**king Home Depot, have someone install them incorrectly, then yell at Home Depot to come fix them". The burden was on him to fix, not my contractor because HIS team installed the doors, NOT my contractor. I asked him what the name of his company was and he literally said 'that's none of your business'. I was floored that I paid HIM, HIS guys made an error (a very small, easily fixable one), and HE promised to fix it, ignored my requests to come out, then I expressed my frustrations and HE yelled and cussed ME out. Shouldn't it have been the other way around? Is this how he treats all his customers? After eight weeks the door finally got fixed. I'm not suggesting anyone do or don't do business with him, but be mindful that if something needs fixing after the work is done he'll be very reluctant to help. *not sure why my profile says San Fran, I'm in Chicago.

I had a lot of ideas as to what I wanted but she was able to improve on them and give me a prettier kitchen than I even imagined. The quality of the cabinets is great. They are so solid and beautiful. My old cabinets were cheaper quality and started falling apart from the insides. These are obviously much better made. Judy was also able to keep me on budget. When I started choosing items outside of my budget she was able to find alternatives that were just as nice but more affordable to me. Her contractor Jim and his men totally gutted my kitchen and redid everything: electric, drywall, floors, cabinets, painting, tiling, the works in about 3 weeks which I thought was pretty amazing. The work was high quality! I have had a lot of work done on my house in the past 20 years and this was the most professional group I have ever seen. They were not satisfied unless it was perfect. I'm just really impressed. I have to say yes, you probably could find slightly cheaper cabinets at Ikea or someplace like that but I honestly do think you get what you pay for. I also don't think you would get near the same help as you would from Better Kitchens. PS - I think they have a photo of my kitchen and you should ask to see it because it is pretty gorgeous if I do say so myself! (I have gray cabinets - yes gray!)

They did a beautiful job and made sure everything was thoroughly cleaned up before they left. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the entire experience and would highly recommend them!

    Edit to add to the owner's response:…read more The owner is a blatant liar. Also, near blind as he doesn't seem to recognize the difference. To correct his lie, they never offered the free replacement. I initially held the remaining payment expecting them to address the issue, but they threatened me with things like filing a lien. So I paid the remainder. I even paid extra to replace the incorrectly installed drawers, which were flat drawers. The second time, they were installed incorrectly again, differently designed shakers. The result is what the photos here show. Extremely irresponsible. BTW, you are the one who did incompetent job and you want to move on without fixing it? What a joke. --- This was our 2nd time working with them. The first time, back in 2020, went very smooth, so we decided to work with them again for our new home. This time it was night and day. It couldn't have been worse. We chose shaker everywhere, but noticed the design draft showed the top drawers flat. The designer told us it was a glitch in their new software, but they went ahead and installed the flat ones anyway. I asked to have it changed and held payment until they fixed it. Instead, they blamed me for an outcome I supposedly approved, and insisted I pay extra to make them shakers. So I did. Then the final result came out like the photo. There's an obvious discrepancy in the width of the cove area (the sloped section between the outer and inner profiles). The designer couldn't even see the problem. The owner never responded at all. I even filed a complaint with the BBB, and they never addressed it. So the BBB closed the case. It's painful to see them treat me like this when I liked them so much 5 years ago. Avoid these crooks if you can.
