Customer Letter: A Sweet Tasting Thank You- Part II

Posted by Megan Sprague

Hello again Peter,

Just so you have some perspective of why I said it was such a pleasure working with Carlisle…that little kitchen took 4 tries to get the right cabinets installed (wrong measurements, wrong size door panel for the refrigerator, wrong finish when the new panel came in, etc., etc. Those cabinet were originally measured and ordered in August of 2007…it finally got completed correctly in August 2008…and they were local.) You folks delivered the right product exactly what was described and exactly to dimension. THANK YOU.

Here are some shots of the 3rd floor hall with your clear vertical grain heart pine. The shot from the bedroom shows both the original and the new floors..pretty good!

Hi Shanon,
So the floors are all in and installed, and I have to say - they look amazing!! We absolutely LOVE them! And of course Jeff and my first reaction was "we should have done the whole downstairs in them". Well maybe down the road... Anyway - thank you again for all of your help throughout this process. You made it a great experience. Now we just can't wait to get everything else done in the house, so we can move back into those rooms and actually enjoy the floors.

Thanks again!
Collyn
