Home Renovation Sources - Naples, FL
Happy holiday weekend. I'm sure most of you are out and about and I will be soon, too. It has been great to learn, through emails, that many of you live in or visit the Naples area!
I wanted to share my home renovation resources with you. These companies have provided me with excellent customer service, and I would definitely do business with them, again.
Pool Company
:
- By far, the most honest pool company in this area. For the record, they were the fourth company to come out and see my job....company 1, never sent the quote...company 2, thought they were building a new pool (or at least we could have on that quote)...company 3, tried to sell me equipment I did not need.
Kitchen Cabinets:
- Ask for Jack or Jason, and tell them I sent you. They are fed up with me :). All joking aside, their prices are excellent and their service is fantastic. They never rush you and keep designing...until. If you happen to be there through lunch time, they will treat you to one of those green passion smoothies from Panera. Dollar averaging, that's an expensive drink ;).
Quartzite/Marble/Granite Slabs:
-
- Ask for Marco. Searching for
was like binge watching House of Cards......I just couldn't stop until it was over. Marco and I drove to several
undercover
non-retail stone yards. Interacting with the cast of characters at each yard reminded me of New Jersey.
Tile - I purchased tile from multiple sources. I could write a book about the process of how tile is imported into Florida and channels through the customs department in Miami. This process can take up to ten weeks. Start the tile search, early.
- Ask for Melony. Excellent source for floor tile.
- Ask for Olga. A great place to source tile you found online. Olga is a machine at locating your tile and dealing with the Miami brokers.
- Ask for Stuart. He definitely hates me, and I did buy tile from him. Apparently, you are not supposed to request a shipment quote directly from the Italian salesmen, that are representing the line you are interested in, while they are making a sales call to the store. Who knew?
- Huge selection and excellent prices. Be prepared to spend quite a bit of time walking up and down each isle. There is a lot to see.
I hope you find these sources helpful. I'll update this list, as I go...or when I remember.
See you at Starbucks in
