We hired TS Kitchen (Traian) to full replace the builders kitchen in a 8 year old house we just purchased. The current kitchen was on a smaller scale and not the style we were looking for. Our plan was to fully renovate the main floor, making it open concept, by removing a 5’ wall dividing the kitchen from the family/dining room. We also decided to have hardwood all over, including the kitchen. We found Traian on Houzz, when we were looking for ideas for a modern kitchen. We were leaning towards having it all store bought, but that changed . Traian came to perform all measurements prior to the full reno, so many of the lengths were as per our “up to here” and “this is what we want”. We have pre-purchased all new appliances, so we knew it roughly where we wanted things. While the renos were occurring, Traian was providing us with professional computer generated drawings of our kitchen, and in return we were providing him our feedback, including changes we wanted. It was very easy. Traian based on his professionalism knew what would work and provided feedback as to what would not/would not look good. Including recommending a specific built-in ventilation hood. In the end based on having 9 foot ceilings and wanting to use the most of it, we settled on the final design that was semi custom. Basically it was all ready made bought cabinet boxes, but all “faces” were custom ordered. This also included modifying the ready made boxes in order to make the design work. We also settled on the colours, with his suggestions. When it was time to start, Traian was very professional. He would bring in his top of the line tools, and clean up after him self each day. You can consider Traian a perfectionists. He would make sure that when it comes to level-ing, he was no more than 0.05 degrees off. That is crazy... in a good way. It took a while to finish up all the work, due to various aspects, like waiting for the custom size doors/panels from manufacturers, ordered parts, counter top installations, as well asks (our) for various last minute modifications once the installation was in full swing. Plus at times, we needed to wait for a short while for Traian to finish another project, which he took up while we were waiting for the above. His business/services are very much wanted by many. In the end the kitchen looks great. Getting rave from anyone coming over to our house. I would recommend TS Kitchens to everyone, and look forward to working together if I have another project in the future. See pictures attached for the final “masterpiece”.

Hi Mr. P. It was a real pleasure dealing with you and your wife on this project. While the project took a little longer than we both expected due to the fact that any Reno is a very fluid process with its own ups and downs, I appreciate your insight and patience. We both took it in stride and the results are speaking for themselves. You are very detailed oriented and so am I. Hope I raised to your expectations. Enjoy your new kitchen.
