We can all agree that lighting stores are the types of places you don't visit on a whim, unless…read morethat whim is tied into your house repair project, for example. That's how we found ourselves at Tuthill Lighting on a rainy Saturday afternoon in search of a sconce for our house renovation. Lights hadn't been on the agenda that day, but boy are we glad we decided to stop into Tuthill and see what we could find. When you walk in (to the oldest operating business on Monroe!), you're surrounded by light. Sconces dot the walls and larger fixtures descend from the ceiling. With all those choices, you would think that you'd get overwhelmed right away, but we didn't. Somehow, we found exactly what we wanted right away. Bruce, the owner, helped us out and put together a wishlist for us so we could keep track of what we liked and emailed it to us when we were done. I can't say enough nice things about the customer service. Talk about making the customer want to buy something from you! I don't think it's a spoiler to say that we went back to the store and bought our sconce. Bruce arranged for it to be delivered to our house and since our contractor was here, he installed it right away and it looks amazing. I will definitely go back to Tuthill Lighting for our next light purchase, whenever that may be. Best customer service ever, to say the least. Plus, when you get a chance to shop local, why wouldn't you take that opportunity?

The stock is unique, traditional, contemporary and incredible. In its 100th year of business and as the longest operating retail business on Monroe Avenue, there is a reason why this establishment not only has lasted but has thrived.

Working for a school district we have to comply with sate and local purchasing and bidding rules. Working with Gary he would easily be the low bidder beating out B&H PhotoVideo, and other discount vendors. When he couldn't he was happy to provide a quote to fulfill my 3 quote regulations. We had a few large projects where Gary arranged for instillation of complex systems. All were professional and completed in a timely manor. Rochester has a deep history in the sound industry and Gary knows it because he lived a lot of it. He stays current can help you with some of the latest digital technologies also.

As expected, they do not service my area, but Steven, the VP at Brighton Sound, was quick to respond to my inquiry and even provided me with some tips on finding the right equipment more locally to me. Honesty and helpfulness go a long way. Perhaps we'll have an opportunity to do business in the future!

This time was for a 20 amp dual switch for heater/fan bathroom exhaust unit, which I can order on AMAZON and/or through Home Depot...... "ahh, Crown Electric will have it"...we all say... ah NOPE!- denied again!! This again is one of about 3 disappointments over 2 years from a self-proclaimed specialized, home-town, electrical supply store. And after talking to 2 parts techs there NEITHER one offered to order it OR make any attempts to help me secure the switch. It was just 'we don't have it sorry, bye'. Again, this is the most recent of 2 other past similar experiences. Well, they have lost me as a longtime customer. They are just an overrated Lowes or HomeDeport trying to do everything and getting worse at all of it!!! And with even less customer support, if that is even possible!!
