We were left with a really challenging situation from another contractor. Many wouldnt even quote our job because of the challenges. Kyle and his team didnt shy away from a challenge and made our yard beautiful, the way it always should have been. He built a beautiful retaining wall and new fence for us. His crew are kind abs polite, they showed up on time, and cleaned up everything. Kyle doesnt forget the details either. He planted some plants behind the new wall, and included in the price was re sodding our yard, its including these small things that really made the big difference for us. He wasnt satisfied until the job was complete and done right. I would not hesitate to use him again or recommend him so someone.

Mason built a deck for us in 2020 and he did such an amazing job we hired him again to build a deck in our new home. Mason built us a beautiful composite deck, stairs, fence extension and bench. He takes his time to make sure the job is done right and looks just the way it should. He truly cares that the finished product is a quality product and if issues or changes come up along the way he takes it in stride and figures it out. I would but hesitate to use him again or recommend to a friend.

This company will sell you a premium priced product that is not structurally sound (sags), did not provide required assembly hardware, did not provide installation or assembly instructions and will send rude staff without a mask into your home to not offer solutions. Through our designer we purchased a custom vanity from Evan kitchen cabinets for our master bathroom. When we were ready for delivery, we were advised that the company currently not offering installation due to Covid-19, but the unit was complete and they would deliver to the garage. At this point we'd been without our master bathroom for over a month as we had started the tear-down before the shutdown. We had to find a way to move things forward, so my designer and contractor discussed and determined that the contractor would assemble and install the vanity (the contractor is very skilled and has been doing this for well over 40 years). At no point during the discussion about delivery did they suggest that this vanity may be difficult and recommend we wait for them to install. When the vanity was delivered they provided no instructions or hardware. When my contractor started assembly he had to go back to Evans several times for clarifications and to request hardware. This required several trips to the manufacturer to pick up supplies. Once the counter was installed on top it was noted that the middle of the vanity was sagging and my contractor put in a temporary leg to hold it up. The drawers were all misaligned so we asked them to come to adjust them (they were now allowing staff inside homes). The person they sent to my home showed up without a mask and upon greeting us rudely said “what’s wrong with the vanity”. I explained the issue and he asked if it was screwed to the wall. I advised I didn’t know as the contractor did it. I got our contractor on the phone so that they could discuss. The person from the cabinet place waived me off and basically refused to talk to the contractor. After the guy from Evans kitchen cabinets looked at it, I was told that legs (that were not provided) should have been installed at the back of the unit and unlike a typical vanity, it should have been screwed to the wall all the way down the back not just the top (at the top is industry norm). His only suggestion to fix it would be to take the counter off, and redo the whole thing (plumbing, fix the wall, the whole 9 yards. Not an option now (or a very expensive one). We discussed with my contractor and he is going to bring in air bags to raise the unit, add legs and secure it. We advised Evans of this much less expensive plan and requested that they cover the cost of these repairs. They have indicated they are not responsible for installation and will not cover these additional expenses, essentially washed their hands of the whole situation. At many times during this transaction Evans could have done several things that could have avoided this problem including: saying they recommend they do installation, provided installation instructions or a call with our contractor, at a minimum flag that this installation would be different from standard, provided all the parts necessary for installation the first time delivery, but nope! Instead they sent someone to our home without a mask who was rude and dismissive and have taken no responsibility for the fact they charged us for a premium vanity that was not able to hold the weight of a counter top and taken no responsibility for their product quality or complete lack of service. We would have been better off going to Ikea

Hi Melissa, I am sorry to hear about your negative experience with our company. Our team at Evan Kitchen Cabinets is most reputable for our thoroughness, our exceptional work quality and our craftsmanship. However, I believe that it is important to express another perspective to this story. Unfortunately, I am certain that this case was a matter of a lot of miscommunication, as some of the claims you made did not come from us, but instead, directly from your designer/contractor. This is something that does happen when working through others and not directly communicating with our team. The only direction given to us from your Designer was to manufacture the vanity. They clearly indicated that they wanted to take care of the installation. That being said, the moment the vanity was delivered, our job was completed. It is extremely shocking that your contractor with over 40 years of experience struggled this much with a small vanity! Not to mention we also explained when vanity was delivered how to easily install. Regardless, if you would like to go more in depth and discuss this matter further, I am willing to speak with you and do my best to sort this out in the best way possible.
My phone number is (416)-918-0712.
Thank you.

Mason helped to design and re build my backyard deck. I would recommend mason to anyone. He spent time going through our options and showing us samples when he was quoting. We changed our minds a few times and delayed the project and he was willing to go when we were. He started the project on time and worked until it was done. As issues came up he asked us what we wanted to do. He took no short cuts and made sure everything was perfect and looking good. Thanks for the beautiful deck and backyard!

We had a difficult time finding someone to build a bench for us in our kitchen. Mose Came to the house and discussed the project and gave us suggestions and gave us a reasonable quote with an expectation of time frame. His office helped with everything from picking fabric to scheduling. They were responsive and accommodating. The bench looks great as are super happy with the end product and get compliments on if fro everyone who visits. Thanks!!!!

Hired to paint a bathroom vanity. Very unprofessional finish leaving unclean paint lines on inside of drawers. Came back to fix after I complained. After cleaning up the paint job left with vanity drawers not able to close. Contacted them about the issue with no reply.

Hi Melissa,

We are more than willing to rectify the issue with your vanity. I spoke with your project manager and he explained that in your email you mentioned that after taking another look at the vanity drawers you would call him back. He did not receive any response from you and took that as everything was good. I can assure you that we take great care of our customers and would never leave them on the way side. I have arranged for one of our best carpenters to take a look at the automatic closure mechanism today. In future should you have any questions or concerns please contact our office and speak with our customer service team as we are here to help.

Kind regards,
