TS Kitchen

We couldn't agree more with all the glowing reviews below. After looking into IKEA's preferred company we opted for Traian instead after reading his positive reviews on Homestars. We were not disappointed. Traian met with us and provided us with a timely quote. We have an older home so he was also able to offer some advice on what might work in our space as he is very knowledgeable with all the product and sizes available with IKEA kitchens. Traian was able to take a look at our initial design and make suggestions for improvement before we purchased our kitchen. Further, during the construction and renovation phases of our project, he offered invaluable advice on our kitchen preparation which saved us time and money in the long run. The final product we received is beyond our expectations. We've since had other contractors in our house who are surprised it's not a custom kitchen! Traians perfect workmanship and professional approach to all elements of our kitchen design has left us with a stunning final product. All we can say is thank you and hope that others see this review and use your services. We highly recommend TS Kitchens. S&D

After having my kitchen incorrectly designed by Ikea and about 30 tries just to obtain a quote from the Ikea's preferred vendor, I found Trian. With 88 boxes of Ikea kitchen already stacked up in my condo, Trian made himself available to be at my home to make an assessment within 24 hours. His expertise was immediately evident as he quickly identified several design flaws and made recommendation on how to both redress the errors and improve the overall functionality of the space. The installation took precisely the amount of time he had quoted and he went above and beyond making unplanned trips to Ikea to exchange unneeded products resulting from Ikea errors. The quality of the finished product exceeded my expectations. As a former bonsai artist, his attention to detail is unparalleled. Every seem and angle is flawless. As a bonus, he is consistently punctual and thoroughly cleans up any mess that may have been created.

Since my kitchen install, I have hired Trian twice to do further work and would definitely do so again.

We recently completed a renovation project for an entire floor of our 100+ year downtown Toronto home. As with buildings of this age, everything requires a customized solution. After shopping around for a few kitchen designs, we decided to opt for an Ikea kitchen because of the warranties associated with the product but we were concerned about being able to use Ikea standard cabinets to get our "custom" look. Traian was recommended to us as the right man with the right tools for the job and we are thoroughly impressed with the job he did for us and the extra time and energy invested in to accommodate our special requirements for customizing the Ikea products. Traian delivers a superior service and we are very happy with the quality of his workmanship; he is familiar and knowledgeable in modifying standard products to achieve a customized kitchen, and the worksite was always left impecably clean. Many thanks Traian, we certainly look forward to working with you again on future projects.

I cannot stress enough how professional, meticulous, gracious and creative Traian is.

TS Kitchen Projects installed an IKEA Kitchen in our townhouse. Traian was always punctual and very professional. He helped us on tweaking and customizing our design to meet our aesthetics but as well as ensuring that it met our everyday needs.

I would not hesitate to hire Traian again. We truly enjoyed our renovation experience with TS Kitchen Projects.

To whom ever reads this review, both my wife and I cannot stress enough: Traian will exceed your expectations. Our house is old – over 100 years old. As a result, the kitchen, well, it has “character”. The floors are not level, sometimes differing by 2-3 inches. The walls are not only uneven, but they are inconsistently uneven. This presents a real problem when trying to install cabinets (if you want them straight!). I think what I was most impressed with was that everything was made level, but asthetic appeal was not sacrificed. What I mean by this is that if you only focus on making sure everything is level and not the larger picture, it can create such a contrast that everything looks weird. Traian was able to complete the technical work of installing the cabinets, while having the vision to tweak things to not accentuate the flaws of the kitchen’s overall structure. Basically, it was a custom design and installation.

Traian gave us a very functional design, and listened to us when we explained what we wanted. He also explained why he chose the pieces he did, and how it would optimize our small space and make the kitchen more user-friendly.

We had heard horror stories about renovations taking longer than planned and were slightly worried. Traian scheduled 5 days to complete our work, but it was actually done in 3. There was very little mess and everything was clean and tidy once done. A few things needed to be done post-installation: a custom cutout was made for our sink (inches were lost due to wall/floor unevenness), a custom panel was made to cover the side of the fridge, doors were custom cut to accommodate our larger than normal sink, and a heating vent was reconfigured so that it would not be under the cabinet.

As usual with Ikea, a bunch of things were missing. Traian made a list of what we needed. Excess things were left so that we could return them. We needed some emergency electrical work done – Traian had a source.

The most difficult thing about writing this review was trying not to rambling on about how positive an experience this was. Bottom line was that this was the best investment in our kitchen we could have made.

We designed a simple Ikea kitchenette for the basement of our new modern house and asked Traian to install it. Traian was punctual and knew all the details of ikea kitchen very well. Unfortunately, there were broken pieces in the Ikea boxes and my husband had to go twice to Ikea for exchange. Traian was very patient and worked until late to finish our project. At the end, we were extremely happy with his work and his attention to detail. The kitchen was so solidly put together that it took away our doubts about Ikea kitchens - provided there is a good installer. Even our builder on site was pleasantly surprised by the installer I brought in. They said to us afterwards how much they like Traian and said "you can tell alot about someone based on the tools he uses". We think it is quite a compliment from other professionals. Obviously Traian uses very high end tools, and knows how to use them to ensure a quality job. Having read all the homestar reviews, we had very high expectations from Traian when we hired him. He definitely met our expectations and we are already thinking about hiring him again for more work.

This is the second time I've used TS Kitchen Projects. I was so happy with Traian's work at my past home that I called him back when we moved into a new house.

Traian is punctual, very detail oriented and offers up great suggestions that enhanced my kitchen(s). There were a few things I wasn't sure about when I ordered my kitchen and he helped me figure it out in a way that made sense and looked great.

One of the difficulties with the job he did for us was that we were using some discontinued lower facings and thought we had everything we needed, but we didn't. Traian went above and beyond to find the missing pieces we needed which we really appreciated. He also had to cut a few of these discontinued pieces down for a custom fit and did an amazing job at making them fit right in.

Great job Traian, I'll be calling you again when I move into my next place ;)

Traian is an amazing worker! Delivers on his promises, he is punctual and has an exemplary work ethic and attitude. He was able to alleviate a potential nightmare with his prompt intervention. Versatile in any handiwork, considerate and knowledgeable. I would recommend his service to anyone who wants to avoid a stress-free home improvement project. I definitely recommend TS Kitchen Projects for a job well done, affordable and in a timely fashion. Thank you Traian, looking forward to have you working on my future projects.

TS Kitchen by far surpasses the installers at Peg Kitchens in both efficiency and cost effectiveness. Traian, the Owner of the Company, is extremely knowledgeable and very meticulous with his installations. He has a passionate attention to detail and a solid work ethic. He spent a great deal of time in ensuring that our kitchen layout had optimal function and clean aesthetic.
I would not hesitate to recommend this Company for any kitchen installation. It is a shame that Ikea recommends Peg only as this gentleman is far superior in all categories.

We recently decided to have a new Ikea kitchen installed and after a considerable amount of research opted to hire TS Kitchen Projects. From our initial consultation it was evident that the company owner, Traian, was passionate about his work and willing to take the necessary time to provide suggestions, improvements, and reassurance. Once the terms of the contract had been agreed upon (the price was extremely competitive), Traian arrived on time each day and worked diligently to ensure that timelines would be met. He tidied up after himself at the end of each day and provided ongoing and consistent feedback regarding the status of our kitchen, identifying any difficulties he may have encountered and enhancements he would like to make. Now that the kitchen is complete we are extremely happy with the quality of workmanship. His attention to detail, hardware upgrades, and undercounting lighting have created a functional, warm and welcoming atmosphere that will certainly be enjoyed for many years to come. Above all else, Traian is a strong believer in the importance of customer service/satisfaction and is willing to go that extra step to ensure that the customer is completely satisfied. We strongly recommend anyone looking for a professional kitchen installer to give Traian a call, you will not be disappointed.
