We spent $10,000 on tile here and they refused a refund on part of the order when the contract clearly states returns are allowed within 30 days. When we expressed our disappointment, her email back to us stated that "this is all I'm going to say on the matter". Trust us when we tell you to stay the hell away from this business. Awful on all levels. Worst customer service we've ever received as well. I am open to being contacted to discuss what you can expect if you work with this store.

However, what we received was nowhere near the level of quality we expected we were purchasing - we sent multiple pictures showing many parts of the wood breaking apart, cracks in the paint, doors not opening and closing correctly, etc. Getting any helpful response from them was like pulling teeth - took numerous follow-ups. We were basically told that "it is what it is", that they have a no-refund policy for custom orders, especially once they are taken out of their boxes. But how are we supposed to know the material is damaged without taking them out of their boxes?! How are we just to expect to pay $10K for absolute garbage material without any form of accountability from the company that sold it to us?! We feel cheated and scammed out of a lot of money that we were saving up for our first apartment, and it's absolutely heartbreaking and enraging.

I don't even know where to begin in this review for this company. We were in a desperate state…read morehaving had a leak and major water damage to a hardwood living room floor and utility closet and coat closet. I received the name of this company from a list in the community that I live in. He received good reviews there. So I made the call to engage him to make a bid for doing the job. Yeiner's word was bond. We were involved in all the stages of repair of our hardwood floors even including a couple of unanticipated challenges. First we thought we only would do a patch up job about 200 so ft. We saw proof of his ability to do that job and do it well. But then we had a problem with the Brazilian Cherrywood we purchased. We purchased the wrong size wood from a local lumber shop. It seems the original wood Camden from China and the US milled wood was 1/8th of an inch different which then required changing from a patch job to having to do the whole floor and having a second installment of wood resting prior to installation. This really jammed us up on the timeline as we were heading out of the country for vacation and wanted the job done before then. It all worked out. He worked it out. True to his word. What a consummate professional. He showed up on time and gave us good estimates in when they would wrap up for the day. He communicated well to us. He took painstaking care to protect the rest of our home from debris and dust from the wood. His workers treated our furniture which they moved around the same way. The professionals under his employee were respectful, courteous and very extremely competent at their job. And the quality speaks for itself and the end result was fabulous. If we ever have another problem like this I can say with absolute certainty that we would employ the services of this company again. I mean he even helped us transport the lumber to our home on a minutes notice. We were really in a bind as I am not capable of lifting a container of 82 pounds of wood let alone 10 of them. But he was just reliable and dependable and very kind to us. And we found his rates for the labor to be quite fair and reasonable.

He's a great contractor and work with the best quality . I really recommended him for flooring jobs.read more

Hired these guys to install a marble tile backsplash in my kitchen. Also had a very complex mosaic…read moretile design behind the stove. Salesperson called it a "feature wall". We had already purchased the materials from various vendors so all that was needed was the installation. Initially was going to use a contractor recommended to us by Thunderstone Tile in Elizabeth. His guy was always busy and estimated the job while sitting on his couch via FaceTime. After agreeing to remove the existing Formica backsplash myself and patching the walls, he pulled a price out of thin air. $2200!! Even Thunderstone Tile raised an eyebrow when I told him what his contractor quoted me. He then tried to backpedal and say because of the complexity of the mosaic the price was higher. The red flags were flying hot and heavy at that point. I called LaRaj after seeing their work portfolio on their website. I dealt with a very pleasant young lady at the office when I called and said she would send Raj out to look at the job. He spent a good deal of time with my wife answering all her questions as well as FaceTimeing me at work to address my questions. His quote was significantly lower than Thunderstone's contractor. He said his father Henri would be doing the actual installation. You hear people talk about old school but you never really understand until you see it up close and personal. Henri is nothing short of an artist. The kitchen now looks Iike something out of architectural digest Absolutely perfect installation. Clean and sharp grout lines and the mosaic looks like apiece of art. Can't say enough good about these guys. Henri is a true craftsman. Great job!!!

If you want to deal with an unhelpful, arrogant, marble and tile location, where they treat…read morecustomers as if they are non-existent, then this is the place for you! I walked into the store today to find tile for my company's retail stores in the United States. This is a very well known retailer with locations in every state. I entered the store and there was an individual sitting down on their computer. Not once did he say hello or how can I help you. He never even got out of his chair! I walked around for 5 minutes and decided this is not the place for mine, or my company's business. I would be embarrassed for my company to receive my recommendation for this place. Not happy with the mistreatment, I walked out without seeing the other half of this small store. I figured the sales associate probably needed more training on how to get new business from a customer so I decided to call, immediately after I left, and notify the Manager of my bad experience. To my surprise, Raj, the Owner, answered the phone. I explained to him my intentions to potentially give him a lot of business and how I was mistreated during my visit to his store. He became argumentative and stated, "You were only in the store for 5 minutes and you stayed in the front the whole time." I expressed to him that if I were only in the store for 1 minute, someone should have said hello and asked me if I needed help with anything. Raj discounted everything I said, over-talked me, and never apologized for his poor customer service. The conversation was useless at that point. I decided to just write and inform others what to expect when they go to this store. There are too many tile companies in the area to waste your time with someone who is rude and unappreciative of potential new business. Mind you, I just had a wonderful customer service experience, next door, at "Newark Paint II". I was immediately greeted and offered help as I entered. As paint and tile go hand in hand, feel free to give the Newark Paint II your business and drive past "La Raj Tile and Marble."
