Mingda Hardwood Floor & Tile

Have you ever been to a place and leave utterly, totally dissatisfied? That’s exactly what you’ll get when you are walking out of the Ming Da granite counter top showroom on Route 46 West.
We were misled by a full page ad in a local magazine that advertised $ 25/​sq ft granite counter tops. But once in the showroom, you cannot find any in that price range.
And don’t forget the surprise $ 500-​$ 700 installation fee that’s on top of any sq ft price, according to the salesman who doesn’t speak English well at all. If you don’t speak what he speaks, you should budget an extra time just for the interchange of information. More importantly, he could not give a final quote, nor set-​up an appointment for anyone to come and measure for the job. Nor could he call the owner of the business while I was there to get final pricing or an appointment time. Everything you don’t want in a salesperson.
I had to leave my tel # so the owner would call me that day — pinky swear. I’m glad I went shopping elsewhere, since there was no phone call nor voice mail nor carrier pigeon was waiting for me anywhere that day as promised.
I finally got a call back from the owner another day that week and was subjected to the you-are-not-important-to-me-so-I’ll-hold-the-entire-call-on-speakerphone treatment, despite my repeatedly telling him I can’t understand you, I can’t hear you, I can’t make out what you’re saying because you are on SPEAKERPHONE. Too bad, since he ignores you and just quotes a sky high price. In fact, his first price was $ 500 higher than two other quotes I received elsewhere (and with less pain too). After negotiating, his price was still higher. Normally, $ 150 isn’t much for a price gap between different price quotes for a full kitchen renovation, etc, but this was a tiny job, single piece, probably can do it from a remnant piece — in fact, he said my piece and job was so simply that I could install it myself (but isn’t that what I’m paying HIM for???).
I’m insulted that he tried to rip me off with a sky high price just to see if I’d take it – and then when I negotiate, he’s still much higher % wise than others.
I put one star for the rating not because I’m giving them a ²⁰⁄₁₀₀ score, but because Unilocal requires at least one for a review. And more importantly, Unilocal has the phrase «EEK! METHINGS NOT» for the 1-​star rating — and that’s exactly where I am ending up with MingDa, so should you.
