I had such a wonderful experience today getting help with my cabinets, thanks to Wise, the store…read morerepresentative who assisted me. Wise demonstrated a level of professionalism that is truly refreshing to see. He reminded me what a great businessperson should be. That is, kind, understanding, approachable, and genuinely attentive. He took the time to listen to what I was looking for and made sure he understood my needs. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, easygoing, and enjoyable. His amazing people skills and willingness to help made what could have been a stressful process feel simple and memorable. I highly recommend Wise (10 out of 10), and East Star, through and through! He absolutely deserves and more. If you're looking for someone knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely great to work with, ask for Wise!

My contractor recommended them but I left pretty unimpressed and went elsewhere. The cabinet price…read morethey quoted me ended up being at least a couple thousand more than the place I ended up choosing and they were not as nice either (the East Star ones were particle board while the other ones were wood, the other ones were soft close which these were not, my actual layout ended up having almost entirely drawers on the base cabinets which wasn't included in the East Star price and so it would have been even higher than the quote they gave me, and so on). I was also looking for countertops and their options left a lot to be desired. They were maybe slightly cheaper than the other place ($40 difference for a standard countertop size of 110" by 26") but way less options and didn't look as nice. Mostly they were just not that helpful and I also didn't love their selections. I left searching for other options pretty quickly. I think one reason to maybe come here is the prices but in my experience even those were higher and the quality and selection were worse. In addition, ideally you want someone who can actually help you figure out a layout and make you feel like you want to shop there and I didn't get that sense. Maybe I just had a bad experience but even though I came in having some idea of what I wanted, I definitely did not get the vibe that this was where I would find it.

The installer they work with installed the countertop granite the wrong way so that it's floating on dabs of adhesive instead of flush to the plywood.

I began working with Jan Li, who was willing and capable to help me act as my own general for my kitchen cabinet and counters replacement. I came in to their unassuming showroom with a only rude sketch of my ideas and together we designed a very much more workable kitchen than I had hoped for. Jan knows from much experience what works and what doesn't, what looks function the best. She was creative thorough and patient. She is a rare find. But there's more. Chen was in charge of the install, coming out to the house to double check all measurements and offering design refinements . His workmanship was excellent. Finally the materials themselves were sturdy and classy, with no voids in the plywood, and enough choices in stock for counters so that I was fine with what they had on hand. Couple that with prompt responses to my many phone calls, an itemized quote with no hidden charges, a less than three week lead time and flexibility in scheduling - I feel privileged to shine a light on this hidden gem.

I had a question about doing some acid staining in my place, I was just really looking for a contractor and wanted to enlighten myself with the cost and process aspects of the staining.

I saved about 4k in one day on a 500 Square feet area in my garage!! Got the best products on the market to perform the acid staining, neutralized the acid myself and coated it with wetlook 2000!! Got the real deal now - all my friends are like WOW!!! Also the informative process was easy and fun, Chris was very helpful and Paul was just funny as hell! (I think he kept making jokes about his girlfriend or something and we were rolling on the floor there!!!)

First, they spent a ton of time on the phone with me to understand my situation; then they gave me a couple of options, one option using a product they sold, the other involved renting a sandblaster. After a bit more research I dropped in to see them and pick up a few gallons of soy-gel stripper. This is a construction supply house catering to contractors. Being a homeowner doing a pretty small job I expected to be hustled through quickly but they treated me very nicely and were again, extremely helpful. Final note: There were a few items I needed that they could have sold me (tools, etc.) but they insisted that I could get a better deal at a local hardware store. Very nice guys all around.
