Peter Ciesinski Cabinetmaker

Peter did an amazing job on our kitchen and we couldn't be happier with the outcome of everything ! Amazing attention to detail and helped us every step of the way to design our dream kitchen. Awesome to work with, highly recommend !

Peter and his assistant were a pleasure to have in my home. Their work was outstanding and there attention to detail was 2nd to none. They had to make many modifications to make the cabinets work in the area I had but it was not an issue for them at all. I would highly recommend them to anyone redoing their Kitchen Cabinets. Thanks again - Denise

Peter and Jeff are amazing at what they do. Everything is precise to the mm. They are very good and fast at what they are doing. They listen well to how you like things. I finally have the kitchen that is smart, useful and cozy. I can't wait until Peter installs my new rustic oak shelves in my basement for the next project. Thank you.

This would have been a 5 star review, and I have been waiting weeks for a response from Peter before deciding to write anything, but I still haven't heard back, so I'm now sharing our mixed review and overall experience:In February, Peter did our kitchen install, which was to include dry fitting our new appliances. Unfortunately, at that time our microwave was available but the trim kit that Peter would be using to give it a built-in look was on backorder. He said he would return to do the trim kit once it was available, and he set the shelves and support pieces up a certain way in preparation for that. We were also waiting on our custom range hood cover to be delivered so Peter could install that as planned. This was all totally fine, and beyond our control or Peter's.In May, Peter returned to install the range hood cover, and we also hired him to do a built-in Ikea dining banquette. At that time, we asked if he wouldn't mind levelling/shimming the fridge so it would sit flush in the cabinet opening he had built for us in February, as it was leaning back 1-2 inches, which looked off and meant that the fridge doors slammed shut. Peter kindly agreed to level the fridge. Unfortunately, the work done resulted in the fridge now leaning about an inch forward instead, which means our fridge doors fly open now. On our invoice, there was an additional $85 for this. I let Peter know that I was surprised at the added amount, especially since the fridge still wasn't level. He emailed back saying that, if we weren't happy with the leveling that was done, to remove that amount from the balance owing. I felt this was a very fair response, and it was true that it was something (the only thing) I wasn't happy with and we would have to try to fix again, so we paid the invoice minus that $85 as he suggested. I would have also been happy if Peter had said he would fix the angle of the fridge when he came back to install the trim kit for the microwave.We have had our microwave trim kit at the house for a few months, and have asked Peter when he can come to install. At first, he said he could do it, and it would be an additional $150, which we happily agreed to, because it's the final piece in completing our nearly year long kitchen renovation. But he has not replied to our recent emails asking when he'll be able to come. We would try to do it ourselves, but he partially set the cabinets and support pieces up in a way that seems to be leaving gaps in the microwave opening once the trim kit is in, and we can't understand what his overall plan was. We're left with an incomplete eyesore in our otherwise beautiful kitchen, and the microwave slides around in a large cabinet opening with black support bars stuck to the sides. We most recently asked him to just reply to let us know if he intends to come at all (we're flexible about timing when he's in the area), or if we need to DIY it to the best of our ability and hopefully not damage the great cabinets...or even try to find another professional who can understand what Peter's plan was for the trim kit. And we've been ghosted, basically. His silence is his answer, I guess, but it's not a professional way to communicate with clients who have spent thousands of dollars on your services and hired you for both kitchen and dining room projects.We were initially impressed with the overall cabinet install (he is talented!), and had recommended Peter to several local friends and contacts, but we're now feeling frustrated and not valued as clients.I would really like to be able to change this review to 5 stars, but I'm not sure what to do at this point.

Peter was a guy I found after another installer dumped us 2 weeks before the job. His reviews, credentials and website made it worth our while to give it a go and we were quite desperate. Turns out as great luck for us. First I’ll say he was competitive on price. He was very near the other guy in total quote for the job. He was able to manage flooring, electrical, drywall and plumbing contractors to make this a turnkey job.Better yet he was willing to do what we wanted while combining his experience into making what we wanted even better. We made special fridge pocket to make regular fridge counter depth and he said sure. He made some quick cuts to ikea box to get 2 more inches legroom under island and the drawer still fits. That’s huge in our small kitchen.So if you know what you want and like to give clear direction he is certainly good to work with.And based on his expertise I have no doubt that if you don’t know what you want he will help you figure it out. Just be open what you do and don’t like and I bet he’ll figure you out.We try to be flexible and he does the same. Things ran quite on time when you consider all the moving pieces. We are family of 6. And we are super happy with the results. As we got close to done we made our list of questions or touch ups and he addressed them all. No issues.See our fridge with the tv on it on his website soon I hope.Also did pantry wall and that is great. Kept job very neat daily and cleaned up appropriately. Such nice lighting. Worked out great.I keep thinking of things. The doors opened too far and hit walls or things (no can help in small kitchen). So he got the little add on bits for hinge to keep them from doing that. And standard garbage from IKEA is 15” and we only had 12 inch so we customized and fit decent can in 12 for slide out garbage.

Thank you Peter for assembling and installing our IKEA kitchen. The job was completed fast and efficiently! Peter was very kind and patient in answering phone calls, emails and questions. We would definitely recommend to any friends and family looking to do kitchen installation or cabinetry.

We hired Peter to design and install our Ikea kitchen and we were very happy with the results! We absolutely love our new kitchen! He worked within our budget, was very efficient, and kept the work area spotless at the end of each day. We highly recommend Peter to others and look forward to working with him in the future for another project.

We hired Peter to install our ikea kitchen and he did an amazing job! Peter and Jeff were knowledgable and efficient, and kept our home very clean during install. During the kitchen install, Peter was able to help us design a separate wet bar on the spot (he was even able to tell us exactly what to buy), which turned out amazing as well! We recently worked with Peter for the second time to install finishing trim on our Kitchen and are very happy with the results. We would not hesitate to recommend Peter for installation or custom work -- we will definitely call again for any future carpentry work we may need!!

Peter and his team just finished installing our IKEA kitchen and we are very happy with the process and delighted with the results. Peter is very organized, clean and knowledgeable and is quick to offer solutions when something comes up during the process. He has a great team that provides all the services needed to get the job done from beginning to end and he is good at staying on schedule even if it requires a long day of work. We would recommend Peter to anyone looking to get a new kitchen or any other cabinet related work done at home. We would do this all over again with him and his crew.

We are thrilled with our new kitchen which was assembled and installed by Peter and his team. Peter was the consummate professional: punctual, meticulous, and respectful. The changes he suggested to our original plan were greatly appreciated. During the demolition of the original cabinets and the new installation, the work areas were kept as clean as possible. He completed the project within the estimated time frame. We would definitely recommend Peter.
