Tomek Iron Originals

Tom of Tomek Iron Originals also installs granite countertops — it might be under the name of Stanley’s Granite. He was referred to me, and did the work in my kitchen earlier this year. I have three issues: 1. the granite is cracked in one spot. I’m sure he was aware of it and didn’t bother to point it out. 2. He dented my brand new microwave during the installation, and has dodged me for several months as I’ve attempted to contact him to have it fixed. I managed to catch him voice-​to-​voice (as he typically doesn’t answer my calls), and he made an appointment to visit my home to discuss the damage, and never showed. Rather than enjoy my new kitchen, I am angered on a daily basis when I see the ugly dent in my brand new microwave. 3. The reinstallation of my dishwasher was done incorrectly, and I now have to pay a true professional come back to fix it. You might be thinking of hiring Tomek to do iron work in your home rather than granite, but be aware that if something goes wrong in your home, you’re on your own. He will not have the integrity to fix his errors. My granite is beautiful, which is more of a testament to the stone than the installation. Considering the repairs, this experience has actually cost more than if I’d used a large retailer, like Expo Design or Home Depot. My advice — go with someone who has more accountability and professionalism.
