Mirabelle Edenton quality issues - buyers beware
Comments (34)I have had lots of problems with a Mirabelle Sitka tub. It was not installed properly—manual Said it should have been mudded, and contractor,and plumber would not listen to me. It pulled away from the wall and then they sprayed foam under it—something the manual said NOT to do. They had to pull tub out and mud it and put back in. After it was back in the switches inside the tub did not work. Had to have a Ferguson rep out. Didn’t have a proper access door to motor so, county inspector not approve (again, manual stated for guarantee and no one read the manual.). After acess door was done, I filled tub up above jets and tub pulleed away from wall. Now even using for just a small bath—just enough water to go under the jets, it pulls away from the walls, and the switches are NOT working for the 2nd time!. I would NOT buy a Mirabelle again and I am waiting to see if Ferguson’s or my contractor will do anything about this. This bathroom was started a,year ago last month!!!!...See Morebeware ptc property renovations, llc of bedford texas
Comments (2)We admit we made a terrible mistake in hiring this GC and placing our trusts in this GC to do the right thing. As indicated in your post, we post for the first time to let everyone knows about this GC and not become victimized like we did. We are considering taking legal action against the GC for misrepresentation (GC promising but did not deliver Versailles pattern for all tile floor per signed contract). We do not seek sympathy from the forum readers but rather caution everyone considering using this PTC Property Renovations who charges premium fee but delivered less than desirable results as shown in my photos link....See MoreBeware Mid-State Kitchens (Midstate Kitchens)
Comments (17)I just wish as many people would rave about their good experiences online. I usually have to ask my clients to do reviews for me on Houzz and Google. I don't have a problem with online reviews...it's the way of the future. But you have to be careful still, you can't believe everything you read online, especially with the anonymous reviews! People are more likely to stick to FACTS if their name is on it. The only problem I have with this post is the dealer should have the opportunity to give feedback, like on BBB website. In 30 years, I've had two negative posts on BBB, neither which ever actually bought from me. They both complained that the price was too high. I was able to reply to each and explain why their prices went up. So, please remember to post the nice reviews when you've had a good experience.

Comments (40)I realize this is an old thread, but I'll share my recent positive experiences with 3 different companies: - 5 new bar stools from Article - arrived very well packaged and in perfect condition - New dining table and 8 chairs from Crate & Barrel, arrived in perfect condition and the delivery / set-up guys were very polite and careful - New console table from Room & Board. We actually had to decline the first and the second deliveries due to some finish issues, but the 3rd is perfect. They were very prompt about sending a new one, and very apologetic about the first two being less than perfect. They seemed to really want to get it right. Furniture is so expensive that I understand when people are frustrated (and angry!) with items that are low quality and can't be returned....See Morejef1
