Mark in Burlington

After 7 years in our now 16 year old home, in August of 2012 my wife and I began getting quotes to refinish our kitchen. We considered a complete gut, simple refacing of the cupboards, and a custom mix of both approaches. We had 5 companies quote us over a 2 week period. I met with Trends after researching them online, and dropping by their Oakville location where I initially met Luis’ son and saw their facility and showroom. Luis came to my house several times to verify measurements and design ideas. He walked me through what was possible, and agreed to customize a basic door design to my specifications. We decided to have granite installed, replace a number of cabinets, add a number of totally new cabinets, and had new doors made to suit the kitchen. We also opted for door match panels by the refrigerator and dishwasher, another great idea from Luis. The color of the cabinetry was custom stained to match some hardwood flooring in adjacent rooms in our home. I ended up selecting Trends, though they were neither cheapest nor most expensive, and some other companies offered to price match. Having seen the shop, and met several folks from Trends, I felt they would do a quality job, and offered good value. Luis also offered some excellent ideas for ways to achieve what we wanted, including one that I did not initially agree to, but did come around to. We ended up replacing the cabinet over the microwave, in order to meet code for distance from cooktop to the bottom of the over the range microwave. That did mean moving the microwave vent in the wall, but has come together beautifully in the end. I should have listened to Luis when he first suggested it! Once the manufacturer built the units, David and Luis came on time as promised, and installed the cabinetry all in one day. They were organized, coordinated and professional. Any small issues were completely resolved to my satisfaction, and we are loving our new kitchen. Not only would I absolutely recommend Trends to others, I have already used them again for another project, and am planning a third for the beginning of 2013. Quality, honesty and exceptional service define my experience with Trends in Oakville. Give them a call, you won’t be disappointed!

We had Ramiro in to look at the tile shower in our master bath. It is 16 years old, and had some tiles coming up, and I had tried to silicone them down. It was a terrible mess. Ramiro was easy to work with, communicated very well, showed up on time, and worked exactly to the specified and agreed to budget. In one day he was able to solve all the issues in the shower. I am not going over the top to suggest it absolutely looks brand new. It is cleaner than I have ever seen it, all the loose tiles were properly reattached and the entire floor of the shower was regrouted. All silicone in and around the shower was redone. 100% professional work, and a delight to deal with. The highest recommendation I can give, is that I will use Tigro again this year for some more tile work that we will have done.
