Kitchen cabinet addition

Two years ago Canlik did an excellent job refreshing and refacing our tired oak cabinet kitchen. We decided to call on them again to add a few more cabinets since we really liked working with the Canlik team on the kitchen reno. The job involved relocating existing cabinets and adding more on either side to give a balanced look. Once again, the job was done to perfection and done on time. I had continuous communication with Madeleine who coordinates the work schedule. We also have another project involving refacing a Murphy bed unit due to poor workmanship of a supplier used by another company. The other company will correct the problem, but I decided to go with Canlik since I know the work will be done faster, will be less expensive and the cabinets will be of quality material. With Canlik, there are no surprises. On my recommendation friends of ours had Canlik reno their entire kitchen and they are as pleased as we are with their professionalism and workmanship.

Kitchen Cabinets and Counter

I hired Canlik to do a kitchen. They did a decet job with the counter and cabinets but the caulking job was poorly done by hand. I will never understand why people must rush the final detailing of a job.
Nevertheless I tried to hire this company again for another reno because I liked the countertop the offered. I woukd have them install the counter and do the caulking myself. They wouldn't return my calls or emails. Maybe they're too busy. I expected better service especially considering I was a repeat client.

Company Response

Dear Casey

Thanks you for your comment.

We always treasure repeat customers. They are the reasons why we can survive for 26 years in this ever competitive business environment. Sorry that we did not explain well to you why we could not take your job.

Let me refresh an e-mail that you sent to us on March 21 2016. You wrote “ You've had more than a week to get back to me. I will be digging out my old receipts and will leave an official review on homestars...You think I'm playing? Fuck..” The “F” word had completely destroyed our business relationship and pushed us away from you. Your frustration might have started by our late reply. We apologized for it but we did reply to your original e-mail and asked for the dimensions of the new top on March 8 2016. We were basically waiting for more information from you to provide a quote after that.

All staffs in our company dedicated to do their best to serve our customers well. However, we are all human and we are not perfect. We need certain level of understanding and respect from our value customers to keep up good business relationships with each other. It also needs efforts and mutual respect from both parties to run and complete smooth projects. Our team cannot function well under threat and disrespect. We understood that It would not be a good ending even if we took your job under this kind of pressure from you. It was the best interest for both of us to stop conversation in order to avoid further relationship damages.

We also thank you for coming back to us even with such a low rating on our services in previous job. We wish you had told us the caulking issue right after the installation so that we could have rectified it right away. It was hurtful to let us know after so long and through a review in the public. Anyway, a lesson has been learnt. We will keep improving our service and we had paid the price of not serving you.

Wish you all the best for your new project.

Victor and staffs

Love the Kitchen

We hired Canlik to completely re-do a kitchen in a condo we own. It looks fabulous! The attention to detail and workmanship was outstanding. The whole process was so smooth and easy. The entire team Victor, Madeleine and Simon and crew go above and beyond to make everything perfect. They responded to my many, MANY requests, changes, rants, updates etc with outstanding customer service. Victor is very knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to deal with, as was Madeleine who was endlessly patient and accommodating.
Simon, the installer was completely responsive to my requests and changes. The install team was respectful too. Now the kitchen looks brand new. They not only refaced my cabinets, they also built some new cabinets and installed a gorgeous Corian counter top.
The entire kitchen; the doors, the handles, the countertop- is all perfect. I very highly recommend Canlik for the quality of the products and the installation and the customer service. They are going to do another kitchen for me soon. This is a great company with honest, hardworking people delivering great results.

Kitchen

Great service! Great quality!
We heard great things about this company online, and it turned out well! We had a large new kitchen and a very specific vision. I custom drew my plans and Victor gave some good suggestions. They were very willing to make my ideas work out (ie. a soft closing large drawer for green bin and garbage). They are very quick when installing, and have good attention to detail. Everything was extremely precise in measurements and layout. I bought my own sinks, faucets, range hood, fridge and oven range; everything fit perfectly (I intentionally made the space bigger for the fridge in case we got another one that was taller). There was some miscommunication at some point, but they were always willing to make things work out. They were reasonable and good natured if we disagreed about anything. A pleasure to work with, and would hire them again.

Refacing Kitchen Cabinets

Canlik Kitchens do an excellent job and are very knowledgeable in the business. They Refaced my kitchen cabinets. Victor carefully detailed the quote with all our requests offering us good suggestions when we required. Sandra was very professional followed up on all my requests and kept me well posted through the project. Their on site staff were meticulous and polite and cleaned up before they left. Canlik completed my project in time and within the budget as quoted. They are true to their word. I have no hesitation in recommending this company for any kitchen rehabilitation work.

New Kitchen Cabinet and Washroom Vanity

We called up Canlik after our kitchen cabinet sub-contractor who can not complete the contract in a house total renovation project. Canlik did a great job, finished the project on time and on budget with quality. I would highly recommend them not just for cabinet resurfacing projects, but on new kitchen cabinets.

It is a challenging job in my case as Canlik came in to finish a job that someone else started with all the base cabinets and counter top installed already. Victor first came to do all the measurements and submitted a written proposal and quote, with options and timeline. I especially like how Canlik maintained an open communication, all confirmed in an email after phone conversations, as we did make a few additions after signing the contract. Simon and his installer were very professional, did the best they could to fit the cabinets and panels. The office support and Madeleine has been great too. The back splash installers they brought in were outstanding.

I did get a few quotes and proposals and selected Canlink not because of their price, but I trust they can deliver with quality. It is money worth spend. Thanks.

Kitchen refacing and customer service 3 years after initial job

Canlik updated our Mississauga Kitchen 3 years ago. I am writing the review now as I went back for additional work last week.
The kitchen is quite large and we wanted the work done as soon as we moved in as we were expecting a baby about 3 weeks after we moved. Victor gave us a very detailed quote and we changed our backsplash and replaced a granite island that we enlarged as well. The work was fantastic. The workers cleaned up after each day and they finished in 4 days!! It was on time and on budget. We have been very happy with the work. Madeline was amazing and her customer service is great.
Recently our built in fridge broke down and I needed to replace a panel above the fridge. I called Madeline and she remembered me! She asked Simon to help us cut the panel to fit above the fridge and saved me a lot of headaches. That is good customer service.
I plan on using them again to refinish my bar and office area in the future. Thank you Canlik on an amazing job and keep up the good work.

kitchen cabinet refacing

We were initially suspicious of the good ratings that this company was getting and actually brought up the issue in our first meeting. They patiently showed us some of their reviews and offered references, which satisfied our curiosity.
Victor provided the initial quote. He was very patient and careful to ensure that we were incorporating everything that we wanted/needed. He was very specific on what he was quoting and also itemized any extras that we might want to consider.
After reviewing their quotes and others, Canlik provided the best price and most extensive contract, so we decided to proceed with them. We were introduced to Sandra, our main contact point. She and Victor provided a detailed project plan and a time estimate of 8 weeks for product delivery and then a 3 day implementation. After the contract was signed we asked for two changes; we decided on different door handles and asked for a colour change. The door handles were changed without cost, and even though we were 3 weeks into the contract, we were able to change our colour choice as manufacturing had not begun. Both changes were accommodated without hesitation and with no fuss. Implementation of the refaced cupboards was done on schedule. The two man team arrived on time, were professional during the time on site. A few minor issues were pointed out during the implementation but they were handled promptly. The installation crew maintained a clean work site and the clean up at the end of the project was excellent. We are extremely happy with both the final product and the staff that we dealt with throughout. This company deserves the high ratings that they get!
