My wife & I love our home, but the shower in our master bathroom was looking dingy... particularly,…read morethe grout between the tiles. Me being a typical guy, I tended to overlook it. But it drove my wife crazy, and the more I looked at it, she was right... The grout was no longer white, but kind of gray & discolored.... it just looked bad. And also, when we moved in, the people before us had just applied caulk between the tub and the tile wall, and it was all yucky and discolored (and probably a bit moldy). So we decided we needed to regrout. I was considering doing it myself until I did some research... this sounded like a time-consuming, tedious job... removing the old grout, applying the new grout after mixing it, washing the tile, waiting for it to dry.... I'm not much of a do-it-yourselfer to begin with, so the lazy sombitch in me decided to see if I could find anyone who would render this service for a reasonable price. I called a few people, and some places (particularly Amore) were kind of douchy on the phone about re-grouting. So I called Mignone, and they were able to give me a ballpark estimate. He had someone come out in a week or so, and man, for just $175, they did an incredible job. It's unbelievable how new the shower looks now.... fresh, gleaming white grout between the tiles. The man got the job done in less than 4 hours, and in just over a day, it was dry and ready for use. So, if you are considering a little home improvement in this type of area, definitely give these guys a call. I do feel somewhat guilty not being a do-it-yourself guy, but then again, it felt good supporting a good, reputable local business. So, if you need anything work done with your bathroom tile, give these guys a call. Well, I take that back. If you're trying to install a secret camera behind one of the tiles so you can see your co-ed roommate take a shower, don't call these guys. You're a real sicko, man... and you need to get some help. But for anything else you want to do with your tile, try these guys.

Torrco was recommended to me for plumbing supplies by a contractor that I know. When we began…read morerenovations on my kitchen in early December, my wife and I went to Torrco to pick out and purchase all of the plumbing fixtures for our new kitchen. We were helped in the store by Evelyn Zepeda, and ended up purchasing thousands of dollars worth of products from Torrco that day, including a $1,200.00 Rohl Faucet. The items were not in stock and had to be ordered, but that was fine, as the kitchen renovation was just beginning, and it would be weeks, if not months before they were needed. Eventually the items were delivered, and they were installed in the new kitchen some time in February. The kitchen renovation was completed in mid-March, and we began to use the kitchen and faucet. Within a week or so, we began to notice that the handle was sticking and binding. Shortly after this, we discovered that there was an o-ring around the handle that was pinched and causing the handle to bind. I called Torrco to inform them that the faucet was defective, and was told that I could ONLY speak to Evelyn about the issue as she was our salesperson. Evelyn, however, was unavailable the first few times that I called. Eventually, I spoke with Evelyn, and she requested that I take pictures of the problem and send them to her. This was done on April 19, 2023, and Evelyn confirmed receipt on April 20,2023 stating that she would forward them to the manufacturer and get back to me. I received no response from Evelyn until I requested an update on May 9, 2023. Evelyn responded almost immediately and stated "Yes, they said that the escutcheon just needs to be untightened and that o-ring put back into place. It should be an easy fix, probably then they installed it was tightened to much. Let me know how it goes." I responded to Evelyn indicating to her that the faucet handle was not assembled by me or my plumber, but by the manufacturer. I also reminded her that I am not a plumber, nor do I know what an "escutcheon" is, and that I just paid $1,200 for a faucet that I expected to be of high quality, and didn't think that I'd have to repair a brand new faucet myself, or hire a plumber to repair a brand new faucet. This email went unanswered. I reached out to Evelyn again on May 16, 2023 asking for a response. Evelyn stated "I followed up with them today, as the tech support got back to me with the answer I provided to you. They said that is not something that needs to be replace it need to be untightened, I will let you know at soon they get back to me." I again mentioned to Evelyn that there was obviously a defect with the faucet, and that I should not be held responsible for repairing this. Evelyn responded on May 18, 2023 and stated "I complete understand, I reach out to them asking for a different solution. They sent it to tech support, once they get back to me I will let you know." Weeks went by, and I received no communication from Evelyn. At this point, the o-ring had now completely fallen out of the faucet, and the handle has been loose and jiggly as a result. In mid-June, my wife went to the store and spoke to Evelyn directly, asking for a solution to the issue. Evelyn did not offer any additional information, but told my wife that she would follow up with me. As of today, August 18,2023 I have received no response from Evelyn. As I have received nothing further from Evelyn, and did not want to spend even more money to hire a plumber, I decided to take Evelyn's suggestion and attempt to repair the faucet myself. While attempting to "loosen the escutcheon," I managed to peel the matte black finish off of the faucet. So now, after paying $1,200 for a faucet, being denied warranty coverage on a brand new faucet and being told to repair it myself, I am now left with a faucet that is still not repaired, but also damaged. If Torrco and Evelyn continue to refuse to stand behind their products, I am going to be forced to purchase replacement parts for a brand new faucet, and hire a plumber to install them. I am absolutely disgusted with the awful service that I have received. My wife and I feel as though, once they took our money, they no longer wanted to be bothered with us.

NEVER AGAIN. Think you're ordering a white kitchen? Think again! All of the white cabinets have a…read moregrey border that's meant to act as a "shadow." Well rather than acting as a "shadow," it looks absolutely crazy. Picture an old ratty car that has one door different than the other. This grey edging creates distinct grey lines throughout the cabinets and is very clearly visible when any door/drawer is opened. Needless to say, my order was refused upon delivery. I would never spend $10k on a kitchen I was unhappy with. The customer service as Wren is nothing to brag about either. They're friendly and accommodating until the moment you put your deposit down. Once they lock you in, all bedside manner goes out the window. It is constant back and forth with changes, delays with a "compliance team", MULTIPLE measurements taken because they were wrong the first time. Then trying to talk to a decent human being about this grey edging as been a nightmare. I would never recommend for anyone to use Wren Kitchens in ANY capacity and will never be taking my business back to them. This was truly a disappointment.

But I also had a delicious cheap meal here that I have to talk about!! I wasn't starving, just wanted a snack before a long few hours of furniture contemplation, so I got a kid's size of the swedish meatballs for $5. Literally crazy value. 4 meatballs, a scoop of mashed potatoes, scoop of peas, scoop of lingonberry sauce. Delicious as always, just as good as everyone says. And genuinely, I cannot recommend enough checking out the falafel meal. The falafel is thick and textured almost like a meatball itself, and completely full of delicious flavor. It's absurdly good. I usually go with meatballs because they're a classic, but after this experience, I might have to do falafel balls next time. And they were cheap as well! $5 for 8 falafels, couscous, hummus, and a lemon!! What a steal! I'll be back for more soon, probably when I finalize which dresser I intend to purchase. Definitely worth checking out! Service was nice and employees were all kind and helpful to me. Great experience.

A good selection of cabinetry and countertop materials for what we needed. One of the advantages of working with this company is they provide an all in price which includes design, fabrication, demolition, electric and plumbing work, drywall, installations of cabinets and all appliances as well as paint. They coordinate everything. Agreed on a schedule and they kept it. No issues with "extra" work coming up during construction either. They are very interested in customer satisfaction. There were some crossed signals on communication but we were flexible so no big deal. Recommend them for kitchen bath work large or small.

TL;DR - Just don't do it. Especially if you are having them install countertops. The lack of…read morecommunication is infuriating during a process that many aren't familiar with. They don't answer (phone calls, texts, emails - you can't leave a VM for either Howard or Jose) and I had 2 no-shows during this arduous process. Well you have called me 2xs and texted me 2xs asking for my review...here you go. I went to the showroom to look and discuss countertops on February 18th, met Howard gave him my measurements of my kitchen, told them we wanted a waterfall. Not once did he mention my island was too large and told me we would need 2 slabs. He did mention my upper cabinets were high, but that during template they would double check (I told him, yeah the design has our upper cabinets higher than standard due to having vaulted ceilings in our home). He recommend I check out Nash Stone (loved them and their selection. Gabby was super responsive, Nash has great customer service!) I picked out 3 stones and by February 25th (a week later) emailed Howard with pictures and asked for price quotes...AND AGAIN GAVE ALL MY MEASUREMENTS + plus the measurements for A WATERFALL. Still did not mention my island is too large. Had to stay on top of him into March but did get a price quote to which I was told I needed to send in the check to hold the stone. When I sent the check in March, Howard just ghosts all calls or texts until early April. By then the stone I wanted was gone, so I had to run back to Nash and picked out a new stone on April 1st. He wakes up April 5th and tells me April 10th they will come to template. They never show. I was told they forgot my house and finished for the day, cool. So they show up to template on April 11th (take my sink at this time too- we will come back to this) and this is when I am now told my island is way too large. Can't accommodate an a waterfall edge, would need a seam for the stone and they recommend taking out 2 cabinets out of island. I emailed Howard that night, and he never ends up getting back to me. In fact, no one will answer me. Can't leave a voicemail his inbox is full. My husband ends up calling...using a different number and wow would you guess who picks up...Howard. He then pushes us off to work with a different designer, Jose. Real nice and super professional move (*I'm being sarcastic here). Jose does come to our house, and explains that we will need to take out the 2 cabinets. Which honestly is just so frustrating to get to this point and learn this. He also mentions several ways he would have designed our kitchen differently, cool super helpful. My contractor comes back rips out the 2 cabinets (goodbye $1000) they come re-template. Now we are well into the middle of May, we get a call on Sunday 5/21 to set up for install saying it will be Tuesday 5/23 and Wednesday 5/24. MONDAY NIGHT AT 6PM, night before install, Jose is rapidly calling us to tell us, our sink is too large. The sink they have had SINCE APRIL 11TH. He is trying to push us to buy a sink off of them, by some luck my husband finds a new sink in the "correct" size (we wanted a workstation sink) and since they have had this sink since April 11th, I now cannot return the sink (goodbye $614.81). They come and do the backsplash that Tuesday 5/24 and then DO NOT SHOW (no phone call, no text nothing, which I took off of work to be there) on Wednesday. You would think they would of said something that Tuesday that they wouldn't be there, or ask for the new sink? I call 4pm on Wednesday the main phone number asking why no one has come and the woman does not have an answer but tells me they need the new sink delivered by 5pm to either Selden or East Northport location. The lack of communication, professionalism, and customer service is a COMPLETE JOKE with this company. I guess if you are not having a full kitchen design you are not a worthy of their time. Thank you for adding an additional 3 months + wasting $1,600 to my renovation that did not need to be. I will not be recommending this company, ever.
