    JP and his crew were absolutely top notch throughout the entire process of our countertop and backsplash installation. From the very beginning, JP was responsive to my communications, came out promptly for an in-person estimate, and provided a fair quote for the work. Work began on the exact day promised. There were a couple small hangups, as there always are with home rennovations, but JP was amazingly swift in addressing the issues. I could tell that JP took a huge amount of pride in the end result he was delivering and in his customer service. Needless to say, everything turned out great and the final product is immaculate. JP is the kind of guy you want working on and in your home, period. I will be recommending him to anyone I know looking to upgrade their countertops.

    JP and his crew did a great job on the kitchen countertops, the stone looks great. We had a very good communication process, he always responded to our calls or text. JP crew worked very fast and also are very friendly. JP recommended us places to buy the stone we are very pleased with the stone we selected, we had a left over piece and they install it the bathroom as well. Great job JP!!

    The left circle points to the perimeter edge width of 1.5 and the right has 1.625... it's barely visible on the pic but you notice it.

    If I could I would leave negative stars here. I dealt with JP in April of 2020 and I had the most horrible experience one could have expected. DO NOT USE THEM. I chose JP bc he was the most responsive, sounded kind with understanding of the customer and SDStone Studio had only positive reviews on Yelp. He was not the cheapest but rather in line with two other quotes I got. I am a Yelper and trust Yelp. I needed 134 x 44 kitchen island that needed a single waterfall. I had to buy two XXL size slabs (136 x 76) so there were no seams. JP didn't properly inspect the quality of these slabs when he picked them up. They not only had a bow but also surface scratches....which was manufacturing issue but the story doesn't end there. The slabs had veins and we wanted the veins to carry through in design and connecting with the waterfall. JPs team didn't do that thus we didn't accept the waterfall and he needed to find another remnant and refabricate it again leaving us with unfinished work. In fact, JP required my husband to come to his shop and "direct" his team with tape measure how the veins needed to connect on the waterfall else they didn't know what to do. JP and his crew came back a month later with that waterfall that we quickly realized was not sized properly, requiring the edge alongside the width of the island to be polished down so its actually even and rectangular. My husband who is an engineer was livid. The joint connection between the waterfall and the island was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. The island top also had a chip on one edge that they attempted to fix and unsuccessfully tried to make it invisible. BUT THAT IS NOT ALL...on the perimeter of the kitchen I picked a different color/type countertop stone. We have a 36 inch stove in between that perimeter stone. JPs team totally messed up the widths of the edges on the perimeter. On the right side of the stove it is 1 inch and 5/8 and on the left it is 1 inch and 1/2 which is pretty visible because of the position of the drawer handles. At first I thought that maybe installation of the kitchen was not level or something of this sorts but NOPE, the cabinets were installed perfectly with laser and upon taking tape measure it was evident they messed it up. When we challenged them they said it wasn't their fault but the company that had the stone cutting machine...OMG I was shocked with this luck of accountability. Ultimately I hired them to do it all and it is not my business if they even subcontract stone cutting work and if so, then who with. Least but not last we also hired them to install window seals which were supposed to be 1/2 inch outside of the wall and instead they made it too narrow and thus flush with the wall. How about them having to fabricate and install a 114 inch shelf in a hallway that was to be in one piece because we purchased two jumbo slabs 136 x 76, but instead they came with two pieces and trying to make a joint something that we challenged and they admitted they broke a piece. We had to wait for JP to find a remnant somewhere and waited for another month before they came back and installed it. They brought a poor quality piece with a horrible print. I have been in tears due to JPs poor workmanship and lack of attention to quality. I had to fight with the stone manufacturer regarding the surface scratches and received refund to replace the island countertop. Because of that I actually will be demolishing the island countertop...A quality fabricator would inspect the stone and made sure it was good and ready for fabrication BUT JP didn't do that. He took two slabs from a crappy batch and fabricated it ALSO POORLY. All in, I paid him for all work but I chose to withheld payment for the extra work related to the table tops primarily because of my horrendous experience. I blame him and his crew for having to demolish my island and for having to accept other deficiencies of the work. When I hired JP I warned him I was a big Yelper and he said he didn't care about Yelp reviews. I was hesitant to post for the longest time as for some people it could be their livelihoods and just a single bad experience for the business, but I couldn't just be silent with the stress I experienced and wanted to warn the others. I would sue them and report them to CSLB but I realized I didn't have their license number and its my fault for not asking about it when I hired them. At least I got a warranty payment from the manufacturer whom I purchased the slab from and at least I will not be out of pocket for fixing the mess SDStone Studio and JP left me with. See some pictures although they don't do justice. However if you visited my house you could see it all with an open eye...pretty evident.

    I had a great experience with JP and his crew. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and so friendly! We had a couple of small projects that needed finished before our kitchen was ready for New countertops and JP set us up with Juan Carlos who came over and finished within a day. The price was reasonable too. We love our new kitchen!

    SDstone Studio crew was very professional. JP was great to work with several times. He did a great job on our house in Carlsbad and it was flawless. We enjoyed their work that we hired them again for our Fallbrook home bbq area. Would highly recommend SDstone! Thanks so much for transforming our spaces..

    JP was easy to work with and his team was efficient. They demolished a backsplash and installed a new one in two days.

    We recently remodeled our kitchen and JP along with his team did a great job. Not only did they transform our kitchen to our dream kitchen, but they took all the necessary precautions needed to keep everyone safe. They wore gloves and face masks and maintained physical distance with all residents. They exceeded all of our expectations and we highly recommend them. We love our new kitchen!

We were lucky enough to have Eric help us, and he was absolutely wonderful! Even though it was getting close to closing time, Eric was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful. He never once made us feel rushed and took the time to make sure we found exactly what we needed. I can honestly say I have NEVER received such amazing customer service at IKEA! Eric is an exceptional associate and a true asset to the Mission Valley location. IKEA is very lucky to have him. Thank you, Eric, for making our experience such a great one!

    I mostly come here for the good selection of inexpensive housewares, and not furniture (unless it's…read morea display piece for work). So that means that I usually skip the upstairs showroom, and head directly to the left where the entrance to the marketplace is. That's also where the elevator and childcare are. I love the basic Corelle style glass plates. The new updated design is the flat-bowl plate, and it's a pretty pale turquoise color. I buy a couple more of the 2 smaller sizes whenever I'm there, lol. At $2.49-- $2.99 it's a good deal. The mini shopping bags make great gift bags when they have them. Also good storage, bath mats, etc. Checkout lanes are mostly self-service now, which is fine because they're fairly easy to use. Keep an eye out for birthday and other random discounts they send in emails. And next time I'll have to get meatballs, haven't had them in a while

But I think the thing that kind of annoyed me was the employee who showed me where I could find something. He then proceeded to ask if he could ask me some questions, which I agreed. He started to ask me about my electricity bill and how the cost may increase more in the future. I realized where he was going and before he could continue, I said I was a renter, but he persisted. He: Do you rent from family or private? Me: Private. I never see the property owner. This shut down the questions, cause I think he wanted to try to sell me solar or some other energy efficient saving do-hickey. Luckily, the guy in the paint department created my color and said have a nice evening and sent me on my way. Again, the staff is friendly! Probably won't come back too soon. But it is a nice store and they have a lot to choose from.

Since February, I've been trying to move forward but have received little to no assistance from the team assigned to my project. I paid a $40 nonrefundable deposit, and the installation company came out to take measurements (they were lovely, by the way, but said I have to go through Lowe's for everything). Since then, despite repeated follow-ups, I have not been able to get the help I need to select the correct vanities and proceed with the installation. This should have been a straightforward project, and I'm ready to pay and move forwardbut Lowe's team has been unresponsive. At this point, I'd simply like my deposit refunded so I can take my business elsewhere. Very disappointed in the lack of communication and follow-through.
