We are very pleased to do this review of our kitchen project as a lot of thought and creativity was exercised in making it truly a work of art. We designed our kitchen layout using the IKEA software and selected our IKEA model and purchased our sink, facet and counter top elsewhere. The basic layout and concept was there but what made it exceptional was working around challenges in maximizing counter space and wall space, eliminating a large baseboard water heater, and accommodating an island. Traian and his crew creatively built-up the pantry cabinets to accommodate the deep depth of the refrigerator, removed fillers to allow extra cabinets, and modified some cabinets for special widths with integrated drawers. Special attention was paid to install pull-out cabinets under the sink to house the garbage, recycle, and food refuse bins and kitchen cleaners. The ceiling fillers and trim elongated the top cabinets to the ceiling very professionally with clean lines. Shelves were calculated based on utility and several were added along with dividers for cooking trays, cutting boards and large serving plates. A utility cabinet to house brooms, mops, and an assortment of household cleaners was thoughtfully constructed. We could go on and on but I think you get the message that with Traian's experience you get a quality job that's done right the first time. We would highly recommend him to anyone! Richard & Helen

My wife and I have tried to be very patient with Mike and have paid him top dollar for everything that he has done. We know because we solicited several quotes from other contractors. We never tried to bargain him down with the understanding if you needed minor things done along the way, then so be it. we don't need to ask you to put a door stopper on a newly hung door... The problem was that Mike would decide to do things at his own pace and solely on his own terms. He has selective hearing and doesn't write you a quote, so he has to rethink what he has agreed upon. His work is reasonable with minor finish details that he expects to be paid extra afterwards. He is seldom on time and can't seem to work if there are other people around including with other contractors. He is tardy at best and often doesn't show up when you expect. His communication leaves alot to be desired that we suspect stems from other possible issues he may have. Tonight I got home to find nothing was done on a third job that we gave him. When asked why by phone, he said he decided not to do the job. When asked why he waited for me to call him and not call or discuss earlier, he hung up. Is this what YOU WANT? Would you trust this person? We even left him a key to come and go as he pleased so he could work at a faster pace. This was our trust. This was ridiculous because he never showed up consistently from day to day. We would strongly recommend that you think twice about hiring this person. He still hasn't completed the previous job to our satisfaction and as a reputable contractor, this is a reprehensible and totally unacceptable!

What could this company do to improve their services?
Be on time with commitments. Communicate with the customer's best interest in mind. Do what the customer requests first. learn to work with others. Have a positive outlook.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Find someone else, or request every minor detail in writing. DO NOT pay until you are totally satisfied.

The windows in the basement did not open and we never like that. Doing Reno in basement so we decide it is time to change windows. When John came over he was the only one who actually had a sample in his car! That made all the difference! Very good and on time!
