Ikea Kitchen Installation

10+++++We hired Traian to install our Ikea kitchen cabinets.I received a quote from Peg corporation they were standard no custom work no design ideas and $250 less then TS Kitchens. I had decided on Ramsjo black brown base and Ramsjo white for the upper cabinets. Most of the design was already set, but Traian made a few suggestions, all of which we acted on and all of which improved our kitchen, design and functionality. The difference with Train is he knows what he is talking about he can custom make anything. He always asked questions, giving us multiple options and solutions, always explaining to us the pros and cons. His team arrived and they were all very efficient and professional, I must say Trian, Bogdan and his son were also very patient working with other trades and they cleaned up everyday!! He worked efficiently and with great attention to detail and it shows in the results - everything lines up perfectly, even where the walls don't! The project was on time and on budget. Thanks you to the whole team at TS Kitchens !!!!

Kitchen install update

I first posted on Oct. 12, 2012, re: Traian's excellent work on our kitchen. He stopped out in December to install the remaining toe-kick drawer pulls and stayed to help us move/level our stove that was giving us some grief. We certainly didn't want to take up his time with a "trivial" chore, but we are extremely grateful that he helped us shim the legs, etc. Thanks for going well above and beyond, Traian!

Kitchen installation and design help

Working with the team from TS Kitchen Design was a very positive experience. Not only where they clean, punctual and hard-working, the best attributes the team brought to our project was their experience and problem-solving skills. We live in a century old house with a typical galley kitchen. We had the design and made the purchases at Ikea with another designer, but that didn't deter the team from helping us with every aspect of the job. They NEVER left us struggling or with unanswered questions. We found ourselves in trouble with crooked floors, uneven ceiling, etc. Traian and his team always found solutions to the problems, and always found the most economical way to solve any issue. One member, Bogdar, worked most of a weekend to ensure the cupboards were installed on time. There is not one negative comment I can produce on TS Kitchen Design. This was our first reno in our first house, and the team helped make it VERY successful and beautiful. Thanks guys! We look forward to working with you again!

Kitchen Renovation

Working with Traian and his team was a pleasure. They really know their stuff. He provided thoughtful suggestions and even pointed a few potential mini-disasters (door hitting the stove constantly) which our friends at IKEA didn't point. He provided several value added services, like getting us hinges so doors wouldn't hit the other appliances, buying the right size cabinet door while he was at IKEA. As well as adding in an additional shelf at no extra cost (I mentioned it in passing and next day it was there!).

Traian and his team were prompt and very respectful. The price was extremely good value compared to other companies.

In hindsight, I would probably have brought Traian in early to the picture e.g. before I actually bought the kitchen, in order to get his advice and experience of what works and what doesn't, and how to maximize the space of our kitchen better.

We would recommend Traian and his team.

Kitchen renovations

Traian is exceptional at what he does: creating beautiful kitchens.

Here's how he does it:

- He provides insightful advice on creative ways to make your dollar go further (e.g. installing custom doors on ikea cabinets) and increase the durability and lifespan of the kitchen (e.g. premium hinges, etc.)
- Traian's attention to details is second to none -- it borders on obsession but in a very, very good way :) He spends a lot of time planning and making small adjustments to ensure that everything is built in the best way possible. It's really incredible.
- Traian also has a network of great people who you get to tap into as his client, from electricians to plumbers, to tilers and more. Each of these professionals share his passion for quality and customer service.
- Traian is extremely ethical and responsible, and a pleasure to work with. He's a funny and amicable guy, always does what he says he's gonna do, and proactively seeks out your guidance when it's appropriate.

Honestly, this has been our best home improvement experience ever, hands down. We wish we had a second kitchen so we could do it all over again! HIRE THIS MAN AND HIS COMPANY!

It was a long haul for you starting with the plumbing in the building. Everything could have been smoother but sometimes we have to work harder to achieve the results we want and it looks that we just managed to do that.

Ikea Kitchen Installation

I can't say enough good things about Traian and his team. Traian improved upon our kitchen design to provide the floor-to-ceiling look that we wanted. He made numerous trips to Ikea to get additional parts. He was flexible to our changing schedule and tolerated a bit of chaos on our site while dry wallers worked around him. He made great suggestions to upgrade and customize our Ikea cabinetry. The pride that he takes in his work and the attention to detail has generated a beautiful kitchen that we are thrilled with. Thank you Traian!

I had no problem working with all the other trades in your house. Renovation is such a fluid process and the only way to do it is continue working until everything is done.

Kitchen Installation

My wife and I decided to purchase an Ikea kitchen. We requested quotes from Traian and several others including the Ikea recommended installer. We chose Traian because he was the most responsive and offered helpful design tips on his initial visit. One of his colleagues did the bulk of the installation work. He started on time and completed on schedule. Traian exceeded our expectations by going far beyond what was required. Some examples: (1) We overbought from Ikea so he took the returns back with us to save us an extra delivery charge. (2) He was at our place within 30 minutes when our oven installation person had difficulties. (3) He helped us coordinate other trades including an excellent plumber and electrician. He did not charge us for any of these extras even though it would have been reasonable for him to do so. I think there are two things that drive Traian to do such a good job as reflected in the numerous HomeStar recommendations. He genuinely takes pride in his work and he thinks long term. As a result, he cares much more about generating a positive referral tomorrow than earning an extra dollar today. It is rare and wonderful quality. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Ikea kitchen install

The best! Sorry for the late review Traian.
Traian and is team is very professional and really know what they are doing, our kitchen fits so seamlessly and everything is perfect.
He returns as many times as it takes to get the job done properly and is always respectful of our space, our time and our cats ( haha). He even sourced our quartz countertop for us at a great price!
Thanks so much Traian, when were ready to kit out our laundry room we will give you a call!
Also note the price we provided was for Traians services. it does not include cabinets or counter.

Complete kitchen renovation

My wife and I had decided on an Ikea kitchen and a friend of mine recommended Traian for installation. After talking to him we decided to renovate the kitchen with him and his crew. This was a very good idea and we were happy that we decided this way. Traian is very knowledgeable and professional. The same things I can say about the other trade people: Sorin and Derek. We were impressed by the attention to detail paid by Traian and his team. They were happy to explain everything to us and we had long discussion about the project and other things as well (they are very funny people). Right now our kitchen looks fantastic and we are very happy with the results. One piece of advice: if you are planning to renovate your kitchen with Traian, try to book him in advance because he and his crew are very busy people. They are the victims of their success.

Kitchen Design & Installation

TS Kitchen Projects, Traian and his crew are ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! I cannot say enough about their professionalism, expertise and attention to detail. After searching long and hard to find a reputable company to install my new kitchen and reading multiple reviews on Home Stars…. TS Kitchen did indeed seem to be too good to be true. They are in fact the best in the business – HANDS DOWN!! Initially I thought it was expensive to have TS do the graphic planning and design piece (perhaps we could do it ourselves or get the store to help us out with it and save a bit of $$) but thank goodness we had Traian help us with the planning. He has an eye for detail, knows the IKEA product better than the folks at IKEA and can customize absolutely anything. He is a master of his craft and takes such pride in his work. Meticulous in all he does. Traian is truly a rare breed. He is 100% committed to the customer and ensures that everything is up to his high standards….including his staff. His crew is highly skilled, lovely guys who are reliable, professional, tidy and well trained. They too have incredible experience with the product and like Traian, want to ensure customer satisfaction. Using this company was the BEST decision we made. Unfortunately we didn’t use Traian’s guys for the demolition/renovation part of the kitchen - we did not realize he provided this service and had already committed to a contractor (we are still kicking ourselves!). This was a BIG mistake as the co. we used were unprofessional and unequipped to do the job. TS Kitchen was left to deal with walls that were not straight and unlevel floors. Traian coming in to our home was like a knight in shining armour -although he doesn’t initially appear to look like such;) He reaffirmed our faith in the trades and showed through his ACTIONS what hard work, dedication and passion for what you do looks like. Although when first meeting Traian he may come off a little rough around the edges – he is anything but. He is an incredible guy who is a genuine, sweet, caring and honest who works around the clock to make sure his customers are happy and things are perfect. What more can you ask for?
