Kitchen Reno - Just Cabinets and Pantry

OMG!!!! Quite an experience. It would take me pages to describe how BAD this experience was. Don't get me wrong, if you want very pleasant people being very nice all the time, this is a good place to start. Also, the tradespeople were all very good, skilled and pleasant. But if you want professional designs and planning that will be executed with some level of competancy, this is NOT the place. Please contact me for details before you use Monarch. I also have plans for two bathrooms renos to be done, but I won't be using these guys. Here are must some of the issues. Cabinets damaged in transit but they installed them anyways. Wrong tabletop ordered but they installed it anyways. New cabinets installed before plumbing work was done. Well it was a very expensive lessons learned for me. I will know much better next time.

Company Response

Dear Wayne
We recently reviewed your comments about your renovation experience with Monarch Kitchen & Bath Centre and we agree that the renovation didn’t proceed as smoothly as we had planned and we welcome this opportunity to respond to your comments.

After presenting you & Karen with 4 different design plans, you both selected the design that you felt best suited your interests and needs and we entered into our agreement on April 23rd. As is our normal practice, we prepared a Renovation Schedule for your project and we make every effort to adhere to the schedule, however there can be unforeseen issues that arise during the course of a renovation, and it has always been our policy at Monarch that we make every effort to correct any issues/problems as expediently as possible so as not to inconvenience our clients.

As per the schedule, from August 3rd through August 9th, we commenced the removal of your old kitchen and completed the required electrical and plumbing rough-ins as required to accommodate your new kitchen. We delivered your new cabinetry on August 9th and the installation took place from August 10th to August 15th. The countertop fabricator templated for your countertops and table top on August 15th and these items were installed on August 29th. All of this was done as per our schedule and you did have a working kitchen on August 31st.

However, we agree there were many deficiencies unfortunately but these were corrected. There were shipping damages to 3 of the 14 cabinets, as well several of doors and drawer fronts had to be reordered. Replacement items were ordered and installed. The table top that the countertop fabricator made was not made to the correct dimensions and we advised them to remove this table top and refabricate it properly. They removed it on September 6th and returned with the correct table top and installed this on September 14th, after which we were able to complete the backsplash installation.

The plumber was supposed to investigate and report back to us on a pre-existing leak in your basement, which he neglected to do. This was added to the subsequent service order and was corrected.

All of us at Monarch value your business and because of the issues/inconveniences you endured, we installed a new valance and shelf at your window area and provided several accessories to you at no charge. We agree with you totally that the service items should have been completed in a timelier manner, however, we never attempted to shirk our responsibilities to you, our valued client. At Monarch, we’re not done any renovation until our clients are totally satisfied and we strive very diligently to ensure that at the end of the renovation, you are satisfied!

We hope you will consider the facts above and realize that we did everything we could to provide you both with the kitchen of your dreams. We invite you to post pictures of your beautiful new kitchen on Home Stars. We value the trust you placed in us and we are always here for you. We hope that we can regain your confidence and we thank you for your business.

Kind regards
Neil B. Samson

My project involved a complete new kitchen and 3 new bathrooms

Finally moved into my dream home, and had quite a bit of renovations to do to bring it up to date. I used Monarch Kitchen and Bath for my kitchen and 3 bathrooms. From the start I felt good about my decisions. I knew exactly what I wanted, and they had all the product and the skill. Their staff is fully knowledgeable and they covered all the details, so I didn't have to worry about a thing. They even come back a later to give you a Complimentary "tune-up". They made sure I was completely satisfied, and now I get tons of compliments on my kitchen and bathrooms and I recommend them to everyone!! Thanks Monarch!

Kitchen renovation

I want to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for the fine workmanship and attention to detail you and your staff exhibited during my kitchen project. I am so overwhelmed and pleased with the final results. Everyone of your staff should be complimented on their talents and their caring attitudes. When dealing with Melissa over the phone or by email, even though we have never met in person, she was attentive to my concerns and was quick to reply to them. When she said things would be delivered by a certain date and time, they were and I appreciated this promptness.

The young man who delivered the cabinets was very friendly and careful as he alone brought in all the heavy pieces. Don was simply amazing and quietly proficient as he managed to install all those heavy cabinets. Although the young men who installed the counter top were present for a short time on the site, they were very skilled and polite.

Sarah was an enthusiastic delight to work with. She had so many good ideas and made my decisions so much easier with her eye for detail. I appreciated the fact that Neil took the time to come to the project and double check the meaurements.

Last but not least, I cannot say enough about the wonderful workmanship of Tim and JoAnn. They are simply outstanding in their ability to tackle any aspect of a project. They worked very long days but treated my kitchen as if it was the most important task they had to do. Each day the project site was left neat and tidy and work debris was taken away.

I definitely will recommend your company to my friends and family and look forward to other projects that I have on the horizon. Thank you again all for your hard work.

Bathroom

We were very pleased with the renovation of our children's' bathroom. Everyone involved was extremely helpful. Neal with the measurements and rearranging of the space to our taste. Melissa with the design and helping us with choosing the pieces that met our needs and fit our budget. Last, but not least the installer Rick. He was professional and did an excellent job, showing up when promised and working very cleanly. Any issues we had were dealt with promptly by Melissa and Neal. There was a small leak after the job was finished and the problem was resolved completely. We would certainly recommend Monarch Kitchen and Bath to anyone contemplating a renovation.

Kitchen Renovation

We shopped around a few local kitchen places before we chose Monarch.

Melissa was excellent in making us feel special and that we were making the right decision. She presented us with an excellent design that covered all of our 'must haves'. She was thorough, listened to our ideas and suggestions and both her and Neil were always accessible to answer any questions or concerns that we had. Of course as with any renovation, there are glitches, but the ones we had were very minor and handled in a professional and timely manner.

We are extremely happy with the end results and have blown away our family and friends with the transformation. See the photos for yourself!

We would definitely recommend Monarch Kitchen to anybody.

bathroom

Monarch did my bathroom renovation and there were a few outstanding issues which initially led me to give a lower rating. However, Neil and Melissa were amazing at following up to ensure that I was completely satisfied and I now am!! Thank you for superior customer service and believing in your product! I will definitely recommend Monarch to others and use them again myself!
