Not Very Nice
by Lady Jones at Citysearch
I wanted to buy a Hunter Douglas vertical partition. Stopped by the store with measurements to get an estimate on the price. The man said $390. OK . He agreed to come by to get the exact measurement. Another man from the store came, measured, and gave a price of $490. Asked why the big difference he said the other man didn't know what he was saying??? OK. I agreed to purchase them so he took the small side piece from a valance from my window to use for ordering the correct shade and style, and I asked to open them from left to right. OK. It took 6 weeks to get them because they had to come from overseas??? Humm. When he did install them I was shock to find them a shade darker, too long and they opened in the middle. The man said we never spoke on how to open them, so he took it upon himself to order them split in the middle. and when asked about the different shade he gave NO COMMENT. I asked him to take them away and fixed the track, he said they are fine just leave them. When he pulled the chain the to open them they made a squeeking noise. i said what is that noise, he said THEY ARE NEW AND OVER TIME THEY WILL NOT MAKE ANYMORE NOISE. That was it, when he left I called the store and spoke with the 1st man who assured me that on Monday 11/16/09 he will TRY to get it the way I ordered them. The installer didnt have the small piece he took for a sample so he cut a piece of the valance he installed and put it in the slot, now my window have a side valance that don't match. What a waste. If they dont have my purchase correct by Thanksgiving I will have them in court to get my $490 back and go somewhere else. I am not a CHILD, if you want to play games, play with yourself.
- Pros: Close to where you live.
- Cons: Too many cooks spoil the soup

Recommended but it WILL cost you!

My first experience with Dal was over 13 years when I first moved to Co-Op City. They are a fixture in the community and they are very experienced, well-known, courteous and dependable. However, all of this comes with a price tag. They are pricey - there is no doubt about that. You pay for the convenience of them being onsite in the Dreiser Mall and you pay for their experience and knowledge of Co-Op city apartments. Yes, you can get better prices on paint and hardware supplies by going to the local Home Depot and I would recommend that you do that if it's supplies you need. But if you want the convenience of it all, I would recommend them for locksmith services and special order blinds - especially for the larger co-op city apartment windows and terrace doors. Good job, good products, great experience, but again, you do pay for it.
- Pros: Convenient for co-op city residents
- Cons: A bit pricey

Great customer service

The staff at Dal's Paint and Hardware are very knowledgeable and has excellent customer services. Their prices are comparable and sometimes better than those of other suppliers servicing the community. They are a fixture in the community and knows the apartments. I will continue to go back.
- Pros: Service
