Traemand Co “planned” this

8 years ago

I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.

Traemond took all the measurements in person.

After the cabinets were installed, I had to hire a plumber to move the gas line so the stove would be able to fit back in place. The stove was on site so the measurer could see its back dimensions. (Traemond did reimburse the plumber’s cost).

I have yet yet to find a solution to the exhaust vent problem. I will have to pay for a custom-fabricated exhaust vent. I have large “air” spaces in both corner base and wall cabinets.

to solve this safety issue. Traemond did not take responsibility for the upper cabinet partially blocking the obvious wall exhaust opening.

There is wasted “air“ space in a corner at both the base and wall cabinet (photo is pre-countertop).

Not too happy. But I must acknowledge the assembly/installer techs from Traemand were very good.

Now, Joseph, be fair. Many hillbillies are quite handy.
That right there is a Red Green installation.

Yeah, that's the problem with Traemand. They're really an office furniture assembly company and it's pretty much the luck of the draw whether you get someone skilled in kitchens or just some guy who knows how to assemble furniture made with cams. Ikea's old way of keeping lists of certified installers in the area of each store was much better, but they didn't make the kind of money they do by their contract with Traemand.

I'm really sorry it turned out so awfully for you. I'd be wallpapering ikea's facebook page, twitter, instagram, etc.

Yeah, that could have been designed better. In another cabinet line that has more choices. You’re in IKEA dude, and they don’t have hardly any choices.

And. You approved the design. If you had objections, the time to raise them is before the design plan is finalized.

Why did you approve those dead corners when they sent you a copy of the preliminary design?

The corners should have been discussed with you... as far as the measurement issues - that is huge... they should be taking complete responsibility for all that... Not sure what is happening with the vent since the picture is so close... if you pull back and then post it maybe we can get you a solution??

The cabinet in your second picture is an electrical code violation because the box for the duplex receptacle is unaccessible. The cutout needs to be sized properly, the box extended, and the cover plate mounted to touch the back of the cabinet properly.

The hillbilly that installed that wasn't making any money.

I'm sorry - that's so frustrating! The cabinet doors you chose are very nice, though. We used that style for an extra long double vanity and I love how the pattern flows across. It's a nice, soft tone, too. I did not realize that the support rail could be cut like that. We spanned ours all the way across and had to do a lot of shimming.

You could put a nice time capsule in the wasted space areas.

Holly is dating herself with that Red Green reference.

Hmmm...but so am I by pointing it out.
