Let me start with I was NOT going to make this review even with all the annoyance this company…read morecaused. But Anwar asked for this review. I hired this company for a countertop installation and paid a deposit with the understanding that the job would be completed within 3 days. Instead, it took over 40 days for them to come but that is not why I am making this review. The facts: They rescheduled my installation three different times, often without notice. Communication was extremely poor. Calls and messages would go unanswered for long periods, and when I did get a response, it felt like Armor had no record of my project and needed constant reminders. The first excuse I was given was that the granite I selected had cracked and was the last slab available. I had to go back in and choose another fine but that also took days just to coordinate. I asked if they could reorder my original choice, and I was told it would take about two weeks. I was satisfied but continued waiting with no updates, I went back myself, only to be told it was somehow back in stock like it had never been unavailable. We scheduled another installation date. No one showed up, and no one contacted me. I had even scheduled a plumber around their timeline, which caused additional inconvenience and expense. In which he says "not my fault you hired" no , it's not. But when you run projects you stick to a schedule. I should NOT have to remind someone how to stick to a schedule. I've always asked for estimated timelines so that ppl do not feel rushed/ timed. But Again, I had to be the one to reach out and get a confirmation if they were even coming or not. 2 weeks went by with no communication. At one point, I contacted an attorney because I genuinely thought they were not going to complete the job. I even went up to their shop multiple times, only to find no one available. Eventually, I ran into a family member who got me back in touch with them. After yet another reschedule (which they later denied ever confirming), they finally showed up but only after I called multiple times the day of. The installation was rushed, and the countertop was chipped. At that point, I was exhausted and just wanted it to be done, but it didn't end there. I sent them photos of the damage, and they agreed to come fix it; then never showed up and stopped responding altogether. Because of this experience, I was without a usable kitchen for over 40 days, had to eat out constantly, spent unnecessary money, and dealt with ongoing stress chasing down a company that already had my deposit. This was one of the most frustrating service experiences I've ever had. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

This place has a huge selection of granite and marble. I had a very good experience here. Jamie was…read morevery nice and helpful. The first time I came in I didn't make an appointment because I kind of just felt like walking around and just taking it all in without being bothered. There's so much beautiful granite to look at! It was actually kind of overwhelming. When I walked in Jamie greeted me with a smile and handed me a little clipboard with a little pencil and explained to me where to write down the numbers of the slabs I liked so that I could get names/prices and then I was off on my own. I really liked that. The second time I went I made an appointment since I had already narrowed it down to a few choices that I thought matched our cabinets/tile. Jamie really helped me make decisions with some of the color schemes. I found the staff to be very nice, knowledgeable and helpful. (especially Jamie.) I think they have some of the prettiest and largest selection of stone in Baton Rouge.

I will start by…read moresaying that working with Amber was an absolute PLEASURE and she helped us with not only deciding on countertops but also with the entire LOOK of the kitchen. She recommended we paint the walls "agreeable gray" and gave us tips and advice on how all the colors would work together. Talk to Amber, she's a star. Now....... about installation. Countertops went fine. Then there was the backsplash. First they told us one day. Then two. Then it turned into 6 FULL DAYS. We never felt like a priority. Adam (the quality assurance guy) helped us get what we needed done, but before that we got the run around from everyone else. Unacceptable for the amount of money we were spending on this. We had to PULL info out of the people who were supposed to be communicating with us. Now that it's all said and done, I'm thrilled with how it turned out. Would I recommend assured to a friend? Honestly unsure. The end product is great but was the hellish process worth it? Not sure.

I never felt rushed or pressured when selecting things for the house. Hillary was prompt to get quotes to my builder. All of these things were very important to me as this building experience was all new to me. I never felt overwhelmed throughout the process because of Hilary. I highly recommend her!

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. We were not advised by any of the salespeople that every…read morepossible mark shows up on black granite, even with protective sealant. We spent thousands on new countertops that now devalue our house. Menzie said they would solve the problem. They didn't, Here's a timeline of their circus: April 12: Installed black granite countertops. April 29: Installed backsplash but could not finish because they had cut the backsplash incorrectly to fit around sink window. May 8: Returned to finish the backsplash. May 9: When electricians came to finish installing outlets, they could not finish because a couple of outlets could not have the plate screwed it since the backsplash was incorrectly cut. May 10: Sent first batch of pictures to the Menzie salesperson about spots and streaks on the counter. She assured me they would disappear once the protective sealant was added. May 17: Someone from Menzie returned to apply the sealant. May 19: After letting the counter dry for two days, the spots and streaks were still there. Any time we put a cup on the counter, it left a mark. Sent the salesperson a new set of pictures. She said she would send the picture to the warranty company and have a manager call me. May 21: Someone from the company called me just before 7 a.m. Asked me when he could come to my house to check the problem. He was there in 20 minutes. He and his assistant rubbed some alcohol on the countertops, then appeared to re-apply sealant. He explained whoever previously came didn't do the job correctly because he didn't account for cooler temperatures. He said wait 2 hours before it dries. I waited 4 hours. Same marks and streaks. Took new batch of pictures, sent to salesperson. Twenty minutes later, manager calls and said he wasn't aware of the problem until a couple of days ago. Promised the problem would be solved. May 29: A two-man crew from Menzie arrived, supposedly uses solvent to alleviate the spots and streaks. One of the crew gets on the phone with the manager. He condescendingly tells me spots and fingerprints will always show on black. "That's why they call it 'fingerprint black'," he said. I told him had I known that we would not have bought black countertops. I asked him why didn't the salesperson tell us that. He said, "Not all of the sales girls know that." Two hours after the crew leaves, the salesperson sends me a bill to pay the remaining balance owed. May 30: I write manager. Tell him we aren't satisfied. Every little mark still shows ip. He writes back Menzie has solved the problem, according to industry standards. AGAIN, DO NOT DEAL with Menzie
