The bad - limited selection. Very limited compared to their competition. In addition, their fabricator wasn't the most professional. His people damaged my cabinets and it was impossible to get the repair done and time forced me to get another fabricator. Disappointing but not necessarily PMI's fault. MOST importantly, my new fabricator pointed out that the slab I purchased had been repaired with fillers in several spots. To the layman's eye like my own, I didn't see or notice anything. But I am thoroughly annoyed that they didn't disclose the imperfections as honorable businesspeople should when selling their wares. Sigh. It's unfortunate because I really liked the people and would have happily sent them business. In conclusion, I'm generally satisfied with my choice and it worked for my kitchen. And the people made the experience painless. Ergo, two stars (I wish yelp allowed half stars). The failure to disclose important info dropped them significantly in my review. I may be the exception and not the rule - if you go there, definitely work with one of the people mentioned.

We walked in to PMI and got a descent first impression. They have a format on how they capture your…read moreclient info and then show you around the stone yard. My disappointment is that us being first time home buyers and it being our first mayor remodel they took advantage and asked for a deposit right away and we "had to make a decision" too because we can loose out on the stone, turns out it's not the case. We then shopped around at other stone distributors and they never asked for a deposit or pushed us to choose a stone. When we phoned PMI back to see if we can get our money back and my husband even went in person- they refused and hid behind the receipt we had signed - that by the way has the name of our manufacture NOT our name. They gave us another option that didn't seemed too honest- to go behind our manufactures back and use their guys for cutting and stalking the stone. In short we felt lied to and misinformed. They are a huge distributing company and these ethical mishaps are ere-levant to them. We learned our lesson, shop around and never leave a deposit! Hopes this helps.

There were two deep stains that I needed to remove and the color of the wood is what used to be cool maybe 30 years ago. Before I sell my place, that was one thing that definitely needed to be done. Estimate: Brendan arrived on time for our initial meeting. Explained the process of things and estimated time for completion which was about 4-5 days. (Fast forward, they finished in 3 days) estimate was emailed to me and it was very reasonable. And after being a part of the process, absolutely worth every penny. The work: gentlemen always arrived on time, in spite of them traveling from a few towns away. Their teamwork and communication made them move along so efficiently and quickly. In 2 half days, my floors in kitchen/living room and bedroom were done. My office was used to stage all my furniture while the floors are being done. The third day, the office floor were finished. End result: floors look and feel brand new. Any water damage, any imperfections are completely gone. Floor is incredibly smooth and even, stains are gone, my floor is spotless. I am so happy. It was an absolute pleasure working with these guys. They were professional and easy going. I am extremely grateful they were recommended to me from a friend. I highly recommend their service and would absolutely use them again.

I've probably come in nearly 10 times since moving to Bed Stuy less than a year ago and they've been lifesavers. From helping me select the correct sizes of screws for furniture building (and letting me exchange incorrect sizes on the house), to recommending plaster and sealants to showing me how to use wasp spray, the employees here really care about their customers and are just great overall. They have a large selection of screws and nails, different grains of sandpaper, buckets of plaster and lots of various home improvement tools.
