Any reviews on "St. Martin Cabinetry"- Semi Custom Cabinets
Comments (220)I will tell you this stay far away from this company garbage and the warranty is useless.STAY AWAY THEY PROMISE THE WORLD AND DO NOTHING This is what the owner sent me In instances like this our extensive experience has taught us that in order to avoid an endless cycle of multiple replacements, we make it clear unambiguous and transparent as to what our legal obligations and inventory capabilities are and most importantly what the customer should expect when ordering replacements of aged real wood products. . This warranty is expressly limited to the repair or replacement of the defective component parts at our discretion. Our liability is expressly limited to the cost of material for the repair or replacement of defective goods. We may elect to repair or replace the product with a product of equal or lesser value and complementary style if the original style is no longer available. Due to the aging process of natural wood, St. Martin Cabinetry can't guarantee an exact match between the finished of the existing product and the replacement product. We take this position to manage the end users expectations and protect both our company and dealer from the relentless requests of a small minority of customers who will expect and demand multiple replacements doors that are not defective but vary slightly in color because the existing doors have naturally aged and are therefore slightly different in color from the new replacement. Regrettably, despite our best efforts and repeated attempts, we are unable to exactly match your existing aged natural wood product with new product from our existing inventory. For this reason we cannot honor your request for additional replacement doors. According to our records as an accommodation, we have shipped at least two additional replacements to you for color match. Please keep them all with our compliments. In practical terms in the overwhelming majority of cases warranty replacements are reasonably close in color to aged product and will after continuous exposure to UV light and normal oxidation catch up to their older brethren. Sunlight will accelerate this process. Our entire warranty St. Martin Warranty Limited Warranty . All of our cabinets are warranted to the original purchaser for five years after the purchase date. We guarantee the original purchaser that all parts and components are free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use. ( Defects are defined as any imperfection that may prohibit the proper use of the cabinets. ) This warranty applies to the original cabinet purchaser only and is nontransferable. . As with all natural materials, wood is affected by the environment factors such as natural and artificial lighting. Darkening or mellowing can be expected and is a natural process for wood as it ages. Each wood species also exhibits its own distinctive patterns and characteristics which add to its natural beauty. These variations in color and characteristics are not considered imperfections or defects. This warranty does not cover natural aging and darkening of the wood color nor does it apply to the inherent growth characteristics of wood. . This warranty applies only to normal indoor consumer use. Product used for commercial or outdoor use is excluded. Not covered under this warranty are cabinets showing normal wear and tear; cabinets that were not stored or installed properly, improperly assembled or disassembled, intentionally damaged, misused, or exposed to elements; cabinets that have defects due to excessive moisture, accidents or negligence; and cabinets that have been changed or modified in any way. . This warranty is expressly limited to the repair or replacement of the defective component parts at our discretion. Our liability is expressly limited to the cost of material for the repair or replacement of defective goods. We may elect to repair or replace the product with a product of equal or lesser value and complementary style if the original style is no longer available. Due to the aging process of natural wood, St. Martin Cabinetry can't guarantee an exact match between the finished of the existing product and the replacement product. . In no event is St. Martin Cabinetry liable for incidental, indirect, or consequential damages resulting from the use of our cabinets. This warranty does not cover the cost of assembly, installation, removal, subsequent damage or transportation of the defect product or replacement. . Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty may last or the exclusion and or limitations of incidentals and/or consequential damages. Therefore the above limitations may not apply. This warranty shows specific rights that may vary from state to state. Any claims made under this warranty must be presented in writing with a dated sales invoice accompanied by photographs of defective material. SO IN OTHER WORDS THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY IS USELESS...See MorePros and Cons of having a Prep sink/ disposal in island
Comments (8)Recent custom home build/homeowner checking in. YES, by all means get the in-island prep sink with a disposal. It can expand the number of cooks that can prep at once, without needing the same sink. In my case, my stovetop is installed in the island, for views and to take best advantage of being within steps of refrigerator/oven/microwave and pantry. Sink is smallish- even considered a "bar" sink. Nevertheless, it accommodates a full sized drain/collander- great for pastas, veggies etc. Because it's so close to the stovetop, I use it to fill big, heavy pots- nowhere to put a pot filler on the walls, so this is a great feature. The faucet swivels 360 degrees, so it's totally out of the way when needing to "dump" things. And the disposal (3/4 horsepower, in a single sink, and works beautifully) means I don't worry about food particles falling into it. I also don't worry about dumping greasy foods that could congeal, if I need to. If you want it, think about the best placement for your needs and go for it. DO make sure the install is a continuous loop (includes a trap, like a big sink) or anything precious that falls in will be very hard to recover. BTW: Our architects, one who designs commercial kitchens, were very skeptical about this feature. They designed a wonderful, workable kitchen but this I just said "do it" and trust me later. Huh- it's being built into two more of their designs, after they see how functional these can be, even in a compact kitchen....See MoreBest brand of commercial-style faucet for my home kitchen?
Comments (10)I don't have personal experience with these types of faucets, as most of my clients don't like them and I find they take up too much vertical space. But here's a link to the latest reviews for them, if that's the way you'd like to go: http://www.faucetmag.com/best-commercial-fusion-style-faucet-reviews/ Caution: many of my plumbing fixture suppliers have stopped carrying Grohe faucets because they are now being manufactured in China. They were getting too many complaints on reliability and bad parts. An alternative to the commercial style are the new articulated pull-down styles from Brizo like this: https://www.brizo.com/kitchen/product/63221LF-PC They serve a similar purpose and don't take up as much room. Plus, I think they look really cool....See MoreSink & Countertop Installation, Pro Opinions Needed
Comments (15)Sorry, I should mention to those who are not aware of my previous post, I'm building a semi custom home in Central California, still being constructed and having some issues w/our very reputable builder in town. [https://www.houzz.com/discussions/quartz-w-o-laminated-edge-scribe-to-cover-plywood-pro-opinion-needed-dsvw-vd~5615171[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/quartz-w-o-laminated-edge-scribe-to-cover-plywood-pro-opinion-needed-dsvw-vd~5615171) dan1888 - Yes! So what happened in the meeting is that we suggested a different sink we actually recently installed in our existing home which came out very nice, rounded corners, thicker stainless steel, bigger and deeper and much less expensive we purchased on Amazon. Installer has done a great job (negative reveal) so we showed some pictures to the builder. I honestly don't know if they got our point but we did show it to them this is how it's supposed to look. (Not to mention our new quartz countertop w/laminated edge! - if you follow my previous post) Brenda Waggoner & iamtiramisu - YES!!! I know! How am I supposed to keep the edge clean?? White caulking would get dirty & moldy, too narrow to clean properly. I'm not the only one here, right? So you know, we had to put down the deposit for half the option cost. We'll lose it if we walk away. And the biggest cost was kitchen, flooring upgrades. We are keeping a close eye on the flooring now. JAN MOYER - Infrastructure... so scary to even think about it. My husband is not a pro carpenter or anything but knows a lot about construction and he was concerned about the quality of the lumber, electrical installation, shower installation, etc. We communicated to the builder, they assured us that they are up to the code, passed the inspection. We won't find out any defects right away so we documented well before they were all covered up with drywalls. You'll flip if you see some of the lumber they used. OK, so this is not a multi million dollar custom home but you'd go "Really?? Is this OK??" I'll probably post more about that later on. zimmer - I showed this installation pictures to a few different fabricators and some kitchen remodeling experts in town and they all agreed that this is a bad installation. I told the builder that too. But they don't seem to understand how ugly this is and again said "We never had anyone complain about this". I honestly think they don't know better, sadly and unfortunate for me. Community we are moving to is only about 1.5-2 years old but the builder's been around for a few decades, very reputable in town for their quality....See Moresteff_1
