TS Kitchen

We hired Traian and his team to do kitchen renovation. I found his company on Home Stars, trusted the reviews and not regret it. Traian is very professional, knows the IKEA product up to the smallest details and is very creative. Comes up with unique solutions to satisfy our request. He refers us to the contractor Sorin and he did excellent job too. Our kitchen look great and we are happy with the result. The only thing you have to be aware when hiring them that they are very busy and you need to be patient. But the result worth it.I will hire them again without any doubts.

We hired Traian after reading these reviews . He installed our ikea kitchen after we bought it and helped return those pieces we didn't use . He customized cabinets when needed in our old Victorian row house . He is a perfectionist , creative and passionate about what he does and it shows in the quality of workmanship . These reviews are 100% true and helpfull . Thank you Traian and homestars

We hired Traian to install kitchen cabinets. Both Traian and Jose did exceptional work. They were meticulous in their job making sure everything was level and perfectly assembled. Traian had many helpful suggestions that we used. He was also very accommodating when we had to change his schedule due to issues with other contractors. Overall he was very professional and great to deal with - we highly recommend him.

Our experience with Traian and his team at TS Kitchens was very positive and we recommend them for a kitchen renovation.
Our project had many challenges, particularly when the original schedule was thrown off course due to unforeseen work that had to be done prior to continuing with the kitchen renovation. Traian was able to juggle his other clients and complete the work in our kitchen when the area was ready for cabinetry installation.
Traian’s knowledge of Ikea kitchens is excellent and he can quickly point out what is achievable in the space available for your project. His ability to customize “standard” cabinetry with innovative features to suit our kitchen requirements was one of the reasons why we wanted to work with him and it proved to be the correct decision. We are very happy with the quality of the work, attention to detail and overall functionality of the new kitchen cabinets.

There are many reasons Trian deserves this 10 start rating. First, his part of the reno (we gutted our entire kitchen: changed the floor, purchased new appliances, painted, etc) was done almost exactly on time, and this despite the difficulty of having to adjust the cabinets for uneven walls (our house is in a 'mature' neighborhood in Toronto, and is over a hundred years old). Second, he made the planning easy by coming to our house twice for a consultation (he was the first person we saw - we wanted to do our homework and see a few more providers before we finally went back to him), and he patiently listened to our wish list and did the best he could to accommodate our ideas (not easy, with our very small kitchen). He gave us advice when we asked for it, and when some unexpected issues came up, found solutions that worked. He was cost-conscious and saved us a few hundred dollars by being careful and efficient with his use of the Ikea materials, and above all, he was very pleasant and a pleasure to deal with.

TS Kitchens specializes in customizing and installing Ikea kitchens and Ikea, as we unfortunately discovered, is an absolute nightmare to deal with from a customer service perspective. While I'm most people know this already, our past experience with Ikea was limited to buying a few pieces of furniture. Kitchen design and installation takes Ikea's ineptitude in Customer Service to a whole new level. Trian had printed out an itemized list for us to take to the store so they could simply key in the items and deliver them to us. This alone took over three hours, most of which were spent waiting for someone to attend to us. I can't imagine how much longer it would have taken without Trian's (very detailed) list. Several of the items Ikea delivered were the wrong ones (or, they simply didn't deliver them at all). Trian went back to Ikea for us to exchange the wrong items, and managed to find us the missing pieces - this alone makes his design fee well worth it.

If you like the ultra-modern, Euro-styling of Ikea kitchens but are worried about making your kitchen look as good as Ikea makes theirs look in their showroom (or better!), I would recommend TS Kitchens. If Trian is a little slow to respond to phone calls don't worry - he's THAT busy!

We got a great referral on Traian but were still concerned he would be like all the other contractors, just maybe slightly better. I expected to have to "manage" him and chase him like all the rest. Much to our surprise and delight he was not only prompt, patient, and creative he went above and beyond. He took our ideas and embraced them. Then he brought his own and made it better. He was flexible and helpful with other trades and never once lost his cool. Even with extra demands that come with every job when you open walls and are not sure what is there. In a business where you are constantly disappointed with not getting what you paid for, he was worth every penny, and probably more. We recommend him without hesitation. No surprise to me now why his ratings on this site are so high. Thank you for outstanding work Traian and you can have any future prospect call us personally if they want to hear more.

We had a 50 year old kitchen that was in desperate need of a full revamp. Working with Traian and his team showed us what excellent people you can still find to work with. After having had a bad experience in the past with a bathroom renovation we were rather concerned to hire people again. Thank goodness we found Traian - their work was excellent. They met all of their timelines and came in exactly where they said around the budget. On top of that they did an absolutely beautiful job and I would be happy to spend all day in my new kitchen. I have never been so pleased to have had renovation work done and will recommend this team again and again. Thanks Traian, Sorin and Derek - we are so happy to have worked with you.

Apparently, of all the rooms in your house to renovate, the kitchen is the most stressful. This I was told numerous times before and during a recent renovation. My guess is that none of these well-meaning naysayers had encountered the likes of TS Kitchen Projects’ Traian and his team of knowledgeable and efficient workers. We got the goods, they did the heavy lifting—from tear down to installing an Ikea kitchen with some custom enhancements as well as putting us in touch with suppliers who saved us some serious cash—they came, they saw, they conquered, and all in good time, to boot. Need I say more?

Traian was a pleasure to deal with. We used a combination of Ikea cabinetry and custom cabinetry, and Traian did a fantastic job helping us customize the Ikea design. He drew upon his extensive experience to make suggestions that were well beyond our imagination, and have proven to be incredibly useful to us. We would work with Traian again without hesitation.

Traian and his team were really clear about what they could do and they always delivered on their commitments. Believe it or not, it was only 10 days from kitchen tear-out to completion. People tell me this is remarkable. Certainly, I am very pleased with the speed and the quality of work. Traian was recommended to me now I wholeheartedly recommend him to others because of the great service, the excellent advice, and the very reasonable price.
