Kitchen Planning & Renovation review in Vaughan

I have kept my initial review from 2012, that follows, but to update, I have to say this kitchen has not really stood the test of time.

There is a lazy-susan corner unit that has needed repairs on several occasions. The finish on the cupboards is very hard to clean and leaves long term marks. After the install I have slowly realized that shortcuts were taken in places I would not see at first but are revealed over time. Some of the lifting-style cupboard door lock into a straight position at times and hardware needs to be hammered by hand back in to place. The frosted glass used in cupboard doors is almost impossible to clean without leaving streaks and marks and ruining the finish.
The general look is still ok and it functions, and to be fair it is not an expensive kitchen, but it is the heart of my home and sometime I do feel disappointed that I have having these problems.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

Having met Vlad at a trade show, we were immediately impressed with his product, and with him. We spent almost 2 years researching kitchen companies, contractors and renovators to work with, and in the end, Vlad and Svea Kitchens was our decision.

He and his team (designer, contractor to oversee the trades, installer, connections to other services) worked so well together. Nothing was a problem too big to address. From the beginning they worked with us to create the design and select the finishes that would best suit our living style and use of the space.

Every job, large or small, will have unexpected issues that have to be resolved, and every concern was handled very quickly and to our full satisfaction.

Kitchens can be a source of horror stories - and we have only good stories to share. After only 15 days from the beginning of demolition, I had a basic working kitchen to use.

You can choose a cheaper do-it-yourself approach, or go full out and blow the bank on something outrageous. But for a moderately priced, well done, good looking, functional space, there is no competition.

We definitely recommend Svea kitchens.

Approximate cost of services:
$0.00
