They have a wonderful selection and are very helpful during the designing process, ordering accurately and getting things delivered in the lead time they give me. I highly recommend anyone using them. Be it designer, contractor or home owner. **★★★★★ — jchsiny, Dec. 2015** > They were wonderful! So insightful and just know what looks good!! > I highly recommend to everyone!! The selection is amazing and beautiful **★★★★★ — ckim, Nov. 2015** > A Step in Stone did a wonderful job for us, successfully stepping in when another local stone and tile supplier failed to deliver consistent quality travertine for our bathroom project. Achieving customer satisfaction can be difficult when a new customer is already disappointed. But Darlene Flood at A Step in Stone listened to our concerns, provided constructive design solutions, and really saved the day with a rush order. In addition to the extraordinary customer service, their stone prices are quite competitive. I recommend them highly. **★★★★★ — Light Designs by The Light Gallery of New Jersey, Nov. 2015** > Darlene at A Step In Stone is a true professional- she not only has a great sense of design but she probably knows her product better than anyone around. She can always pick the perfect product for the job- they don't get any better! > > Tj Tindall > The Light Gallery > Hopewell, NJ **★★★★★ — maricelhermann, Nov. 2015** > I've had a truly wonderful experience working with A Step in Stone. Their space is inspiring and filled with a great selection of tiles for all styles of interiors. The owner is particularly skilled in matching the perfect tile to the project. Despite the fact that the tiles were a very small component of our project, the owner took the time to meet with us to understand our needs and aesthetic. Her communication from start to finish was timely and on point. I couldn't have had a better experience and look forward to working with them again on our future home projects. **★★★★★ — Kathy Schad, April 2014** > We couldn't be happier with our experience and products at A Step in Stone in Skillman, NJ. Darlene helped us choose the perfect backsplash tile for our new kitchen remodel. When I realized her eye for color and design I asked her what color paint she would recommend for our open concept kitchen/family room. She pulled out a restoration hardware wheel and quickly chose a rich beautiful color that we used. The tile and paint color added the WOW factor to our remodel. We could never have gotten this look without Darlene's expertise and advice. I'm so glad we took that drive to Skillman from Bucks County. We could not get this quality in service or products in our area even after several trips to local tile stores. I highly recommend Darlene and A Step in Stone. **★★★★★ — HYE Studios, Jan. 2014** > I would recommend A Step in Stone to any homeowner, interior designer, or architect. Darlene is an expert on selecting the right stone for the right application, as well as, understanding the elements of design. I have worked with A Step in Stone for over 5 years and have always had a great experience. It is wonderful, as a designer, to have someone that understands your attention to detail and gets it! Thanks for all your hard work on helping me implement our projects! I appreciate your expertise and follow through. **★★★★★ — jweisbl25, Oct. 2013** > I retained Darlene Flood of A Step In Stone to assist me with our kitchen renovation. We purchased all of our floor tile and backsplash tile from her. I cannot begin to tell you what a pleasure it was to work with her. She answered all of my questions with great care and attention. She was readily available to me and gave me excellent advise not only about the tile, but also about other aspects of the kitchen design and renovation. Her prices were fair and competitive. We are thrilled with the way our kitchen turned out and this is, in large part, thanks to Darlene. I highly recommend her and her business to anyone in the market for tile. **★★★★★ — chrissey72, Oct. 2013** > Our master bath was in great need for a renovation. My husband and I heard great things about A Step in Stone so we ventured out to their showroom. We didn't know where to start, but they certainly guided us through the process. Today, we love using our new bathroom. The tile looks so amazing. We can't wait to go back to them or our backsplash. **★★★★★ — Distinctive Interiors Inc., Oct. 2013** > As a professional interior designer I am always excited to see all the latest and inspiring tiles and finishes on the market today. Darlene and > Jack the owners are very well informed and a pleasure to work with. > Their show room has a great selection on display. > Sandy Gavarny, Interior Designer > Distinctive Interiors Inc. > www.SandyGavarny.com **★★★★★ — Deborah Leamann, Sept. 2013** > Wonderful selection of all the latest in stone and tile designs. I really enjoy working with them. A Step in Stone makes the design process so easy. They immediately grasp what type of concept I am looking for. Friendly, easy and professional. **★★★★★ — Mrs. G Appliances, Jan. 2013** > We love referring our customers to Darlene & Jack Flood of A Step in Stone. Their outstanding customer service before, during and after the sale sets them apart from their competition. It all starts with an amazing selection of tile and stone beautifully displayed in their showroom. They are friendly, knowledgeable and stylish designers who will create the "WOW" factor for any type of project within your budget.
