UPDATE: Our bathroom is finally done! It was quite the…read morerollercoaster to get here but now that it's all said and done, thank God we LOVE the finished product! I still hold the opinion that what should have been a simple bathroom gut and update did not have to be the fiasco it turned into. With a bit of more concise orchestration of scheduling, AK&B could have avoided many of the mishaps we experienced. If it not been for those mishaps, I'd be able to dole out 5 stars easily but for now, I will settle at four stars which is really more like 3.5 to 3.75. I will say thank goodness for our designer who generously held our hands and went the extra mile just about every step of the way. She sold us and we bought into her vision and style. The final product she helped put together is nothing short of exceptional. More than anything we're glad this is over just in time for the Holidays.

Allen Kitchen and Bath caused me so many delays and extra surprise costs. Laree is a nice lady,…read morebut boy is she scattered, unorganized and forgetful. The first thing she said to me and my husband was "Do you want to buy a business?" I think she has one foot out the door and it shows when you are relying on them to have the details covered. It was not until the time of install (and once they had my downpayment) that all these extra costs and details were missed. BTW, I also went to Granite Direct, Wales, WI to have another top done and it was the easiest process ever (unlike Allen Kitchen). The kicker was when THEY make a mistake, Laree gave me a quote to fix it (which they expected me to pay). Save the pain and frustration and go elsewhere!

I had my first Floor & Decor experience over the weekend, after my contractor recommended them…read more When I walked in, I glanced around and was asked if I needed assistance by a friendly staff member. I told her what I was looking for, and she called for another staff member to take me to the type of flooring I wanted. He took me to that section and explained that there were three categories that they carried and what the differences were. I found the prices to be comparable with other stores I visited for similar flooring. I bought a sample of the plank for $5 to take home and see how it would look in my bathroom. He also told me that if I only end up needing two boxes, I can return the third box, if it wasn't opened, for a refund. That worked for me! Two days later, I went back to buy the flooring. Same staff member working the register remembered me. I told her I was ready to buy and gave her the SKU number that I took a photo of two days prior. She called another staff member over to retrieve three boxes of the planks for me. He also loaded them into my car. It was the easiest buying experience I've ever had. Although, I was probably the easiest customer they've had to help. Yes, it helped that I already researched what type of flooring I wanted, but I'm sure they would have helped me get to that point if needed. I was there about 15-20 minutes the first day, and maybe 5 minutes the second day. I was impressed with the non-pushy, laid-back, helpful, and friendly approach by all three staff members that helped me. My contractor was happy with my choice, as he was very familiar with the product I bought. I'm sure it will look great once installed, and I highly recommend this store.

My life lately has come to reviewing home improvement places, but I'm okay with that! On Saturday,…read morewe were on the hunt for interior tiling and Floor & Decor was recommended to us. This place is absolutely massive providing all flooring options from wood, to laminate, stone, tile and vinyl. If you're looking for a certain style, pattern, or color, I'd be surprised if they didn't have it. It's also a clean, well, kept, and spacious store that is very easy to navigate around. We found the Rock Ridge Ledger Stone we were looking for in the back of the store, and snagged six boxes to start with. I'd definitely call the pricing reasonable. My only caveat is that both the staff members we spoke to didn't seem to be the most knowledgable on product. We were looking for the best sealant, and each of them didn't seem too sure on the best recommendation. Good thing I have dad on speed dial who knows the ropes of renovation! We'd certainly return to Floors & Decor for future tile and flooring needs. I see a bathroom remodel in my future...!

There were 1-2 customers who were also browsing so it was definitely not busy or short staffed. Some employees were even on their phones browsing social media! Let's say that you do need an appointment, the least they can do is say hi and ask if we have an appointment and if not, maybe they can offer us guidance! Isn't it the foundation of customer service regardless of our appearances? Scrolling through the reviews and this seems to be the "trend" of not acknowledging customers for years! Instead of responding a generic message, please take the time to re-train your employees. It does not take a lot to say "hi, how can I help you?"

She redesigned the entire bathroom and it actually works out better for us. We needed a handicapped accessible bathroom and she was very conscious of making sure we were comfortable with every decision and action from beginning to end. Then we met with Eric, Brittany and Staci to go over everything from beginning to end. They all walked us through everything and how we could track daily updates. Through the process, they communicated constantly to make sure things were going good. Martin was also incredible every time he was here. He was also very conscious to make sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process. We couldn't have asked for 4 better people to work with. If we ever decide to update our Kitchen, I hope we get the same 4 people. I would highly recommend Kowalske and their team.
