TS Kitchen

Traian is a Kitchen Guru!

This was the second time my husband and I used Traian for a kitchen remodel. Traian, with his expertise, helped us from planning our kitchen all the way through to completion.

There are many things we greatly appreciate about Traian.

1. Eye for detail - all cabinets and installed appliances are perfectly leveled and aligned.
2. Creativity - designed our under the stairs cabinets to maximize storage space. He also suggested buying a pull-out garbage/recycling/compost bins from a German Manufacturer - which is one of the best features of our kitchen.
3. Connections - Helped arrange other contractors such as electricians, plumbers, and hardwood floor experts.
4. Respect for you and your home - Traian is tidy and always cleans up after himself.
5. Experience - Traian has been doing this for many years. And we completely trust his judgement and expertise.

Our Kitchen used IKEA Cabinets and Appliances, and we selected custom doors fronts along with a custom colour.

If we are to ever do another kitchen again, there is no question that we would hire Traian. He is simply the best in the business.

Thank you, Traian!

Professional, timely and responsive. Traian showed excellent attention to details, solving many issues discovered during the renovation. We are extremely happy with our kitchen now it was a great experience. If you need a kitchen renovation done well, Traian is the best choice.

Traian installed our closet a few years ago and did a great job with them even though our floors and walls are not as straight as they should be! So when we were furnishing our basement bedroom this month we called him back.

He did a great job putting together all of our shelves for the new bedroom and also disassembled our Hemnes bed, moved it back downstairs, and reassembled it.

Definitely recommended.

He's quick to respond to emails and arrived when he said he'd be there. Definitely recommended!

We completely renovated our kitchen and from planning to completion, we were extremely impressed by the superior quality of Traians work.

He created a kitchen plan, made an IKEA shopping list with all IKEA article numbers required and he installed all the cabinets.

He accommodated standard IKEA cabinets to our odd-shaped kitchen. Traian can do any customization if required. For example, in our kitchen he made a custom-made cabinet so we can use a small space wisely. This cabinet included a custom-made door that matched the style and color with the rest of the cabinets. He customized our sink cabinet to be bigger than IKEA standard sink cabinet. He perfectly aligned top and bottom cabinets, installed custom-made color matching fillers where required, etc. He also installed over-the-range microwave, connecting it to the outside vent.

Traian doesnt justify time for quality all work was done very accurate, precisely and clean. Traian is very attentive to details: all cabinets and installed appliances are perfectly leveled and aligned.
Traian is very punctual and works full hours.

He helped to arrange other contractors such as, demolishers, tiles installer, electrician, etc. But you can hire your own contractors if you wish.

You can trust his judgement and experience. When we agreed to his recommendations, we were happy about it. He suggested to buy a pole-less Lazy Susan from a European manufacturer, which was much better than from IKEA.

We highly recommend Traian and TS Kitchen for your kitchen renovations.

Traian is a wizard in so many things. A complete package knowledge, skill, patience, hardworking and a conversationalist on so many topics.
He is not just installing your kitchen cabinets. He is patiently listening to everything you have to say, he brings up possible issues, ways of improving and maximizing the space, ways of saving money (who doesnt need to save money in these days) and is flexible with his time and you have his undivided attention at a 100%!
I requested his assistance with custom building a 3 part cabinet for my bedroom, meant to offer more storing place, books, clothing, etc. Not only he took the time to design several for me (he is high tech fully packed, using modern applications to offer the best picture in advance of how the end product will look. I am a visual person, and these aids actually helped me decide. I am a tough customer, I have high expectations and demands; I am more than impressed with his prestation, efficiency and time management. He is beyond detailed oriented, which saved both of us a lot of possible aggravation. Not with Traian though he must be the most patient and accommodating contractor I ever dealt with in my entire life.
I may have been a bit too overbearing, as I like to watch when work is being done, however, I am glad that I did this is how I learned a lot of techniques he is using, brilliant ideas to ensure that the job is completed without hiccups and the least mess possible. I am a neat freak, so that is what really made me happy dont know if you ever had that experience, when the contractors leave after finishing a job, and you need to clean for a week. Well, Traian is not one of them.
I don't give 10 stars easily, however, he has earned them in spades. Thank you, Traian!

We hired Traian to renovate our condo kitchen which hadnt seen much work in ~30 years. He was able to effectively guide us to make sure we made the most with the space we had, and recommended us a variety of options from Ikea that would match our requirements. In addition, he provided us with detailed schematics, measurements, and renderings to envision what the end result would look like, which helped us when picking our finishes, cabinet colours, countertops, and more.

The quality of the work was exceptional and it was completed in a timely manner. On top of this, Traian was able to work around our other contractors and was very understanding. We would strongly recommend Traian for any kitchen renovations you have in mind. He has a strong attention to detail and always keeps your best interest in mind.

Traian was great to work with from start to finish. He was super responsive and worked through our ideas with us in great detail before getting to work. The quality of work was also top notch, and we will definitely use him again in the future

Traian was very frank since the beginning on the project and the complexities involved for the modifications to my kitchen countertop. He has a strong attention to detail when it comes to his projects and does a thorough job. I am very happy with the outcome and will definitely recommend his services.

Working with Traian of TS Kitchens was a great experience. He did a complete rebuild of my small condo kitchen and I couldnt be more thrilled with the outcome!

I am not very experienced with renovations, but Traian took the time to walk me through each step so I always understood what was required and which decisions needed to be made when. He was scrupulous in making sure I understood the exact costs of each choice before I committed, so that I was never surprised by the bill.

The quality of the work was such a huge improvement over what I had before. Traian paid attention to every detail, and at each stage helped me prioritize what was really important to me.

See the photos below for before and after shots of the project, and some details of the custom cabinetry he made for me and the beautiful backsplash.

In the early part of the pandemic, I called TS kitchen to get a quote on a small kitchen project. But, due to the pandemic restrictions, the project had to be on hold before it even started. Finally it was back on track in March of this year.

My kitchen was renovated a few years ago but one corner was left vacant until I could find a microwave that would fit in that space. I already had a cabinet box made, therefore with a microwave in the middle, a cabinet door was planned on top and a drawer on the bottom. Traian provided a reasonable quote for this project which also included some minor repairs around the kitchen.

Minor repairs: The hood vent needed to be extended to the ceiling but I requested no drill into the thin porcelain backsplash because it could potentially crack. Traian followed my request and got this done without any issues. He also volunteered to stabilize the dishwasher that was shifting. It was under warranty but Traian was able to fix it efficiently and remake the kick plate underneath to fit properly. The uneven gaps between cabinet doors were an eyesore before but he took time to adjust the hinges and the result was better than I had hoped. He also did a great job closing the gaps between cabinets and walls by replacing the existing fillers with properly measured new fillers. These minor finishing touches made a huge difference in making my kitchen look complete.

New Cabinet door and drawer: This part of the project did not go smoothly. Firstly, the new drawer was incorrectly made by the factory so Traian had to return and remake it. This caused more delays. When they were finally installed, there was a small gap due to the uneven walls. Not a big deal but it wasn't something I had anticipated. But the real problem for me was the color of the cabinets which I had chosen. The color looked dull due to the lack of lights in that corner. Clearly this was my mistake and I was willing to pay to get them repainted. However, asking a contractor to redo work is never a welcome task, especially in the middle of a busy schedule. Thus, I wondered if I would hear from him again even though he said he would discuss with the factory and get back to me on it. It took a few weeks but he did get back to me with a quote and soon he had the cabinet doors repainted for me.

Traian took time and hard work to complete my kitchen project the right way. There were some bumpy rides along the way but he was able to resolve them. I am quite satisfied with the overall result. I would highly recommend Traian to anyone who wants to renovate their kitchen.
