You need to look at more specialty stores instead of trying to do one stop shopping if you want better grade of materials. EG cabinet store for cabinets and counters or even stone yards for counters, bathroom specialty stores for higher end fixtures. This takes more time and hence the reason some people would rather do it all in one spot.

I'm not looking for high-end, per say, I'm just trying to find more than 1 or 2 choices that the bb stores carry. For example, looking for interior french doors at the BB stores gives you 1 or 2 choices, and most of the reviews are "Terrible quality control. Doors are twisted, not hung right, etc".

Often at the BB stores you need to ask if they have catalogues they usually have access to many products they don’t have on site.
