The AB Kearns staff are always generous with their time and knowledge, which make my DIY projects possible. Their expertise has helped me complete the hardscape at my own pace as the landscape fills in. The ladies are great! AB Kearns also supplies to contractors, so there is a wide product selection. Their deliveries are quick with courteous drivers and pricing is always fair. AB Kearns is an asset to all of us who like to play in the yard and get our hands dirty. Cat C

BUYER BEWARE -- A RESOUNDING THEME! Granite we had installed…read morein our basement bar area merely separated on the slab seam due to a faulty epoxy mix as did our outdoor bar area - common theme? The granite has separated and they NEVER came back to repair their own work! Since we didn't use the basement bar, but maybe twice a year, not a big deal. The repair for the basement bar has been requested since February 2016, requested again in June 2016, and about every 3-4 months since then! Growing rather TIRED of trying to get the repair complete since 2016, I made concerted effort to contact the owner, Patricia, at least a dozen times since July 2021 telephonically, text, and email. Messages left with staff NEVERgot back to Patricia or she was ignoring me. Every time you call about an issue, it appears to be forgotten by her or her staff. I finally had to stop in the showroom and found her there about a week ago. Patricia informed me that her staff had given me a message when they hadn't. I asked her if she wanted to check the phone record. Once again, I had to tell her what my issue was and she said she would take care of it. She stated she no longer does the installs, she subcontracts the install work. Our entire home has granite purchased from Elite from the time they first began growing their business. She has received at least 12 kitchen or bathroom installs from referrals given to her from my wife's business. When we began our relationship in 2008, she and her then husband stated, "If you ever have an issue, just contact us and we will take care of it!" Because they were new growing their business, we were understanding. However, it is no different today. ALWAYS an excuse for not getting a job done! I'm "out of office", "Can I reschedule?", "Not enough fabricators", "Not enough installers", "Forgot your appointment", "My car had to get repaired", etc. It's like a teacher asking the student where his/her homework is and the kid replies "my dog ate it"! Calling within less than an hour prior to the job to inform you they are not coming that day! They ask for measurements and pics and end up losing them! Completely UNACCEPTABLE! After calling her installer, she calls me back and states there will be a charge of $125. I guess this is what she considers "taking care of it"! I stated, "I am not paying for a faulty install repair". Patricia does not want to be responsible, she lacks attention to detail, she lacks business honesty and integrity, and does not understand how to run her business and take care of her customers I guess we'll have to get someone else to repair the work and job Patricia should have completed. Even though she may have a decent price, that is not all you need to know and have concerns about! Just know that if you decide to purchase, it most likely won't be satisfactory and you will spend an inordinate amount of time and other resources to get it correct!

Great work at very reasonable price. When comparison shopping I found…read moreElite to be in lower than other quotes. 2 things to keep in mind if you're getting new countertops... First, no other countertop place (I contacted 3 others) also did the backsplash tile work. They all referred me to a tile place/guy and I really preferred to only have to deal with 1 company. Second, no other installer would touch the sink. I either had to remove/re-install myself (I opted to keep my current porcelain sink) or call a plumber. But expense was included in Elite's quote (which would have cost me about another $500-600 for 2 plumber's visits). We did have minor SNAFU with the backsplash - the delivered tile was wrong, and I did not catch it until nearly half the job was done. But a phone call and a photo to Elite (Patricia) and they made it right with minimal hassle by removing what what put up, re-ordering and completing the job the following week. We had no problems with punctuality as other complained about in the Google Reviews. I'd definitely use them again and recommend them.

Troy just shrugged that off and was well you get the posts and screen (a special yet durable type of screening that allows for large sq footage without a bunch of cross sections) and here's my price. One section is 12'x10' or 120 sq feet and the finished look is like having a nearly invisible picture window (see pictures.) Troy was quick to return and replace a section when we discovered a small knife cut in one panel that had gone unnoticed and likely happened when trimming excess screen. The only con was his crew spoke broken English however they were competent, friendly and very respectful and courteous while on site and cleaned up 100% every afternoon during this 3 day job. Troy does have a foreman who drops in regularly and helped with language barrier. I highly recommend Stuart's Contracting. Troy's low key but effective work ethic made all the difference as we always felt our satisfaction was his goal.
