    Business Response

    I have been and still am working with ******* and ***** to resolve the issues,  As per my e-mail sent to the customer  August 30th I am covering the costs of installation to cover off the inconvenience of the first top that they ordered being cut wrong by the fabricator.    Then unfortunately the replacement top came from the fabricator cut incorrectly as well, I was at the clients home the evening of the September 20th after work, with the installer, ensuring there was no permanent  damage done to the clients cabinets and setting up their kitchen,  this top has been installed temporarily to allow them a functioning kitchen in the mean time, as we wait for a 3rd top to be fabricated.  ******* also wanted to change colors after having the previous tops in her home, which I have accommodated and allowed the change as I am now reordering the top from a different fabricator due to the issues with the previous one. I am now putting in place to have the third top installed on Monday the 7th of October,  using a different fabricator and a different installer to complete the work.  The unfortunate problem with counter top being so custom it takes two to three weeks every time it is ordered for the product to arrive and be fabricated.

    I am really puzzled by this complaint as I have been working with clients and in contact with them thru this whole process,   taking on the extra effort and expense of arranging installation for the product they were going to install themselves.  At no point had I said "no" to them, or walked away or ignored them.  In fact the first notice came on my email as I was returning from the clients home going over things with the client, so I figured it was in error as I was still working with the client on a resolve.   ******* has been heightened, belligerent, and threatening with me, but I stand behind my company, our products and services and have taken the verbal abuse in my quest to provide product and service to the client.
