I ordered my counter tops from Ellicott City Dec 1; they were just installed April 4. I complained to the owner that the individual did not come out to measure, he said he would make sure he did and I would be very happy. Also they were not receiving credit cards so I had to pay with a check. After they were finally measured, I was told the owner skipped out on them and I might not get my countertops. After months of calling the Ellicot City branch, Richard Coiner e mailed me that Peer Beveridge was setting up a schedule. The sales person at Ellicott City said the installer “Peer Beveridge” would not install unless I had a certified check and faxed him a copy. Mr. Beveridge arrived at my house, he would not bring the granite in my house unless I gave him the certified check, and he said that was the deal. He also said they do not install the garnet for my fireplaces, so they stacked them, I was told that they would. I came back down stairs to check on the work but they had left already. The work is terrible. The garnet is to short is some spots, the cabinets stick out. The sink hole is too big, the sink sticks out. There are chips and flaws in the garnet. It is a terrible job and I need some one to fix it. I called the Ellicott City branch; they said to stop payment on the check, I explained they said I had to have a certified check, they said they would make some calls. This has been a terrible experience, I can not believe a company can treat there customers this way! I just tried to e mail a complaint, the e mail came back

Bob Watson sold us a $441 Eclipse sink and the installers showed up with a $79 sink--they showed me the website they order them from.
The granite grain was running every direction imaginable.
Bob Watson at the showroom was absolutely useless in getting anything resolved.
I went to the fabrication shop pretending to look for a job in order to get someone to speak to me. The shop manager says Tom Passarelli does not know what he's doing and does not care that so many of us are unhappy.
We ended up getting a warrant and Passarelli dodged this process until I found a court date where someone else had him in court and I had him served in that courtroom that day! Now we have received Judgment and have to figure out how to get the money.
The Washington Newspaper reported that all this was sold Jan 31, 2008. They continue to operate here in Richmond as The Countertop Company.
I really believe we have to help each other on this to get this any type of satisfaction. ]]> http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/home_services_56/view/the_countertop_company_456 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/local_services_53/view/the_countertop_company_449 http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/local_services_53/view/the_countertop_company_449 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/mass_media_60/view/time_warner_cable_security_448 Now... Internet... This has been a battle from the start. Firstly let me say that their basic speed offered is 5mbps upgradable to 8mbps. When I lived up north we had Cablevision and their basic speed was 15mbps upgradable to 30mbps; that's just to give some guidelines to the quality of service being offered.
So... Service drops out all the time. Every night our internet speed drops from 5 mbps down to 1mbps. You can test this online, ping their servers, print things out, make them diagrams and posters, yet still they tell you its fine. Meanwhile it takes 30 seconds to open google.com but to them, this is totally fine. They deny the speed is slowed to sometimes only 300Kbps (not even a full mbps), despite being able to test your speed using their own speed test page.
Bottom line, it's like living in the dark ages. It's just terrible from start to finish (although I'm glad they can make a phone work). ]]> http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/mass_media_60/view/time_warner_cable_security_448 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/home_services_56/view/the_countertop_company_447
I suggest any potential new customer can not trust an employee who was a part of this smoke and mirror scam even if under new ownership. The former employees knew what type person they worked for, yet still sold the product knowing a high percentage of people would never get what they paid for.

I hope anyone thinking of using this company refers to the BBB of VA, NC,and MD, the Va State Attorney General's office, the Federal Trade Commission, NC State Attorney General's office. ]]> http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/home_services_56/view/the_countertop_company_447 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/restaurants_8/view/subway_sandwiches_salads_446 http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/restaurants_8/view/subway_sandwiches_salads_446 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/home_services_56/view/the_countertop_company_445
Javan Capitol Partners is a great company. I have been selling for them for 5 weeks and haven't had one complaint. I read one complaint that said do not do business with Ellicott City..please do. You will get your stone installed on time.... we have thousands of slabs that can be seen at StoneSurfaces in Rockville, Maryland.]]> http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/home_services_56/view/the_countertop_company_445 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/home_services_56/view/the_countertop_company_442 http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/home_services_56/view/the_countertop_company_442 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/home_services_56/view/the_countertop_company_439 http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/home_services_56/view/the_countertop_company_439 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/home_services_56/view/the_countertop_company_438
We may actually make a difference to the future innocent consumers of the Countertop Company. ]]> http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/home_services_56/view/the_countertop_company_438 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/mass_media_60/view/time_warner_cable_security_437 http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/mass_media_60/view/time_warner_cable_security_437 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/home_services_56/view/the_countertop_company_436

While the FTC does not resolve individual consumer problems, your complaint helps to investigate fraud, and can lead to law enforcement action.

Nice atmosphere and design...a little tight downstairs.

Cons:
The service was absolutely horrible and the sad part is that we sat right in front of the manager who was witnessing firsthand the horrible service (empty drinks, no silverware, no napkins, missing entrees, appetizer never came out) and nothing was said or done. Everyone I have spoken to, friends & neighbors, had the exact same thing to say "The Service is horrible" It's sad because this place has a lot of potential.

That being said, this was before new management took over, so will see if the new mgmt. team can turn it around. Of course they will have to win back a lot of sore customers with promotions. They better hurry b/c overhead in that area is through the roof!

If it wasn't for the great sandwich, this place would only get 1 star in my book.

Re-visit is unlikely.]]> http://neighborology.com/reviews/all/food_47/view/little_dooey_barbeque_blues_428 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500
