We were fortunate enough to get in last minute and Emily took phenomenal care of us ! Not only is she sweet and patient. She also has a lot of knowledge on each stone how it is made, where you should use it, care for it and where it comes from. If you're looking for not just your basic quartzite, marble, porcelain, definitely come here!!! As Emily said- "your kitchen counters are the jewelry of your kitchen" accurate ! Make sure to make an appointment before driving here!

Although we had a smaller project, they took the time to provide us with a quote promptly, offered reasonable pricing, and delivered great quality. During our first visit, we toured their showroom and were able to view the workshop where they store and prepare their pieces. It was a great experience from start to finish. Our pieces are beautiful, and their service was professional. I'm really happy to support good, authentic companies, and this is one that definitely deserves your business. Check them out!

Moved from the…read moreNW suburbs so I thought I'd give the job of my new countertop, sink and backsplash to someone local. Gave rough estimates to Kasia, we selected a quartz and waited to have the final measurements done prior to fabrication. No calls, no information we called several times the day before to be told we never confirmed after they left messages. Now we're pushed back a week. We confirmed that we will be home all day, however, again no one shows up! Another week goes by, we call the day before, and that morning and yes, we're on the schedule. They measure, and we'll have new cabinets the following week. Nope no install no calls, only after I call to find out that the piece we selected was too small. When I asked for my money back, because you have to pay in full to get on the schedule, that they don't do any returns but would consider it but it would cost me $250. At this point we decided they already have our money, so we go to select a granite, which Kasia says is cheaper, but still costs us another $100. The cut the piece, come out to install it, (3 weeks later) and on May 10th we get our cabinets delivered and installed. They look gorgeous, however when they measured the back splash flush against our in wall mirrored medicine cabinet so there isn't enough room for anyone to put their hand between the backsplash and the cabinets to open the doors. We call Kasia again to be told that for them to come out remove the piece would be $500 but if my husband removes it, delivers to them they would have it done in 1 day no charge. That was 3 days ago, and it's still not done. I'm even concerned about posting this until I have the backsplash returned, which we have to pick up and install ourselves, at risk of having our backsplash held hostage. I'm only posting so I can possibly help 1 person from making an error in purchasing from them.

IYKYK but I was in full stress mode after falling in love with a quartz counter I saw on line…read more Only one place said they had it in stock and I was very concerned about keeping the full kitchen reno moving along. Spoke to Irene Lopez and went down the next day. She showed me my "chosen" Terrazura and also had another slab she thought would work. Both slabs looked great with my flooring, cabinet and paint colors. I went with the Terrazura and everything continued to go smoothly through installation. I'm beyond thrilled with my new kitchen and love my quartz. Highly recommend Factory Plaza! And big thanks to Irene for seeing my vision and Alex for a flawless installation. I've forgotten the name of the gentleman who measured but he made a suggestion to add a strip of the quartz behind my stove and it made the whole look so custom. So highly recommend!

I have been ignored by Jose and the management team for over a week despite my repeated attempts to resolve a botched installation. I grew up the granddaughter of a Stone Mason; I know quality work, and I know when a company is taking shortcuts. I specifically chose my stone because I was told it would NOT require a seam. Later in the process, the story changed. It became clear they simply didn't want to deal with the labor-intensive task of maneuvering a large slab into place--a job that might have required a minor wall repair but would have resulted in the superior finish I paid for. I only begrudgingly agreed to a seam because they promised it would be executed perfectly. My original fears were justified: it was a disaster. The issues: * Poor Craftsmanship: The seam is recessed and uneven. It is a functional defect that collects debris and requires constant scrubbing. * Lack of Effort: While I understand vein matching is difficult, there was clearly no attempt at a professional transition here. It stands out like a sore eye. * Dismissive Management: After a failed "repair" (just smeared epoxy), the stone manager told me "nothing more can be done." In an era of digital fabrication, that is a flat-out lie. I would never dream of treating my own clients with this level of neglect. If the check has cleared, Factory Plaza is finished with you. The only reason I am giving two stars instead of one is because the kitchen island turned out well and Gina in the front office was a sweetheart who went above and beyond to try and remedy the situation. It's a shame the owners and management don't share her work ethic. They desperately need professional development in customer service and quality control.

We recently had our quartzite countertops installed, most went well, but we were very disappointed…read morewith one of the joints. We didn't feel they matched up the two island pieces very well, it is very noticeable. We paid a ton of money for the natural stone and was so excited we found the perfect slabs only to have this very noticeable Joint. We understand you can't get it to perfectly line up, but the color or the pattern was very different. If it was on the back counters, it wouldn't have been very noticeable, but it was on the larger island. Vary sorry to have to write a bad review because most of the experience was good.

She greeted us and suggested we register with the front desk to get a salesperson to help us. I asked if she could be our salesperson. She had on a mask but when she greeted us, her eyes showed she was smiing and I just had a good feeling about her. I told her I thought I knew wgat I wanted as I had 2 samples from Home Depot & wanted to see full slabs. She sent us to the warehouse area and said she'd meet us there in a few minutes. Told us where to look for my samples. We were able to go right to them from her directions. OH NO! I didnt like either one. About that time she came around the corner to us. I told her I didnt like them and as we talked about what I did & didnt like she was able to give me some other slabs that she thought Id like. She NAILED IT! I immediately knew which one was perfect! Id been back & forth between samples for a couple of years, never able to decide. Id done my shopping at Home Depot and just never found "IT"! Theres so much more out there than what HD has! I actually had a price worked up at HD but just couldnt finalize it. Hellen said I could think about it, take my time. But I KNEW it was the one, finally. We gave her our square footage, talked about edging, sinks, cutouts and she gave us a rough estimate. $1600 cheaper than HD! And whereas HD said 5wks out, she said she could get us done in 2. HD has to go find someone to actually do the work, the measuring, the cutting the of the stone and the installation are all farmed out to other companies. Precision Stone Design DOES IT ALL! We first walked into PSD on Feb 6th, yesterday was our install! Angel & another young man got to my house at 12:50, unloaded their equipment and there was A LOT, and came in & introduced themselves. They were pleasant, personable & professional. From the mats they put on our hardwood floors, to the dry vac they brought to the care in which they did things "professional" describes them perfectly. There was 44sq ft of quartz in my small kitchen, a sink they had to make adjustments for, and a corner I wasnt 100% happy with that they were able to take care of ON THE SPOT. I would use this company again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend you check them out. Oh! Part of the difference in price was because HD had come up with more sq footage than I actually had! I dont know whether you can see the muted grey & beigey tones in this bright white quartz but its beautiful, subtle & elegant. I love it! Again, thank you PSD, Hellen that knew what i was looking for, and the installers. Great job by everyone!

Who knew buying rocks would be so hard!…read more We have a landscaped spot in our front yard that uses mulch. Edging keeps the mulch from spreading into the grass and sidewalk, but there are a few spots the edging doesn't reach. Tired of having to sweep it back into the landscaped area or replace missing mulch, I wanted some small-ish rocks. Easy, right? Wrong. I went to Menards expecting to pick up some rocks. Bigger than the ones that you can use in place of mulch, but smaller than stone pavers or boulders. Struck out at Menards, the landscaping place suggested a vendor that requires membership and the other landscaping place didn't sell the right size rocks, so I turned to the Yelps and found Crawford, which is conveniently less than a mile from my house. Walking into the place is a little intimidating. Lots of trucks and small construction vehicles for moving rocks. I popped into the main building and told them what I was looking for and they called someone to help me. We went to a huge bin of rocks, I told him approximately what size I was looking for and how many and he picked some out for me and put them on the scale. 5 rocks at 12lb ran me $1.79! We've debated puting paver stones down in part of our yard. If we decide to do it, I'm coming back here. They're super nice, the prices are fantastic and they have a nice selection. PRO TIP: Wear proper shoes. Flip flops were a bad choice.
