Tampa Bay Microwave Installation

Matt did a great job. Was able to come earlier than scheduled. He was careful when moving stove and cleaned everything up when done.

The faucet and microwave installations were satisfactory. The paint work was the most expensive portion and was horrendous. We were not at the property and the owner subcontracted the work without our knowledge or permission. We were sent misleading and inaccurate photos of the paint work and foolishly paid him in full. Upon seeing the work in person, the owner was immediately contacted and it was agreed he would refund a portion of our costs. That never happened and he chose to ignore our attempts to contact him. A complaint was later filed with the BBB which can be reviewed here. [*** Link removed ***]

very well. logan and Kenny are very professional and extremely good at repairs/installs. Kenny said he has been working in this field for 47 years and it seemed like he did,

The experience was great from start to finish. When I called to make an appointment I was told the hourly cost up front with an estimate of how long it would take and was given available times for service to be done soon. The repairmen arrived on time and even called to let me know they were on the way. They started work immediately and overcame every hurdle involved with installing a used microwave that didn't have all the installation parts included. They even went into the attic to hook the exhaust up better than it was before. They work solidly for just over an hour, but they only charged me for one hour of service. I thought it was a great deal and not even a fee for coming out. Highly recommend and would use them again in a heartbeat.

Very professional, knowledge od multiple trades. Is coming next week to do more work. If he is available I would hire him for all my interior work. The best service and workmanship. You can not do better.

He was there within an hour. He worked from 1-7 that day to get our stove and microwave in place. Very professional. Very accommodating. Very punctual, very responsive.

During our home remodeling, I hadn't really considered doing anything with the kitchen cabinets. However, after replacing all of the kitchen appliances and redoing the bedroom and wood floors, it was the right time to update and upgrade the kitchen cabinets. I wasn't aware of how cabinet refacing worked, but was very pleased to find out that I would get new doors, drawer fronts, crown molding and knobs/handles. The "boxes" were the only parts that remained. I got estimates from 3 companies. Quality Cabinet Refacing was within a few hundred dollars of another company. It was a very close call, but I felt they would give me the best finished product in the least amount of time. I wasn't thrilled with having to empty all of the cabinets and drawers, but it was a good time to throw out, rearrange and thoroughly clean the cabinets. Troy and Pete came out and did a very detailed measuring of all the areas. I also decided to do the guest bath, so they revised my quote and measured that area too. I was told the fabricating and finishing of the cabinet doors and drawer fronts would be 4-5 weeks. The timeline was accurate. I needed to coordinate our tile installers before the cabinet work and the wood floors after the cabinets. It was a narrow window and didn't allow for any variance in dates. The guys were scheduled for 8/10/15 and they arrived on time that day. Pete (sales rep) also came out that day to make sure the installers knew what was to be done. They completely covered all of our counters and hung a heavy plastic curtain to separate the kitchen from the other areas of the home. I was given an estimate of 3 to 3 1/2 days and they finished in 3 days. There was a problem with the new drawer and one cabinet door had a surface defect. The drawer was fixed within a few days, but the cabinet door had to be ordered and finished. I kept the defective one in place and the area on the cabinet was not noticeable to anyone except me. (The defective cabinet surface was found while the guys were still there and the problem with the new drawer was discovered later when we were putting all of our items back in the cabinets. Troy immediately came out to assess the drawer problem and it took a couple of trips, but it is now perfect. The cabinet door has been replaced and the work is now complete) There was a small amount of noise from the sanding, but nothing that we couldn't handle. The glue for the facing material was a pretty strong smell, but they had told us, so we weren't bothered by it. The guys were very friendly and professional. They were careful with our wall oven and during removal and installation of the microwave. They did all of the cutting in our driveway, so final clean up wasn't too much. They left me a marker for any future scratches and some of the glue removal solution for any areas they missed. Best of all, they happily put up with our pets (dogs and cats) occasionally checking out their work. We have gotten so many compliments on our cabinets. We added under-cabinet lighting and a 3-globe pendant light over the sink to add to the beauty of the new kitchen. By far, the kitchen and bath cabinets were the highlight of our remodeling. They matched the color I wanted exactly and the handles compliment our new stainless appliances. I'm a very satisfied and happy customer.

Our installation was a little more challenging than most, due to a remodelers error in the past, making it difficult to figure out drilling. (Others have had same problem.) Larry was great and worked through it, no extra charge. Would not hesitate to use hime again.

Took delivery of the wrong mattress on the 3rd, but mistake promptly taken care of with delivery of the correct mattress on the 6th. Our salesperson, Susan, was great to work with. We will be taking delivery of a refrigerator, range, dishwasher and microwave for our kitchen remodel from them on Saturday the 14th.

My experience went very well. The staff was professional and knowledgeable in their field. The only thing I did not like was that we told them we wanted no hidden charges and he ended up hiring a plumber not in the contract that we had to pay extra for, as well as venting for the microwave.

The two techs were prompt courteous and very professional. There was no mess and the installation went flawlessly. I was pleased with the service, but still felt that it was pricey. $150 for the Microwave Install and $75 to install a pre-assembled ceiling fan. Nevertheless, I would use them again if I needed a handyman.

We went to severl high-end appliance stores where we were offered cookies and bottled water but the sales people at those stores did not LISTEN. We had 3 criteria: No microwave (don't sell me one. I won't use it), dishwasher must have a built-in food disposer/grinder, built in refrigerator. The first store we went to tried selling us a package that included a microwave and the dishwasher did not have the grinder. That salesperson told us we were "wrong" to not want a microwave and that the grinder really doesn't matter. We had 3 other similar experiences where the salespeople were clearly trying to sell us what created the maximum commission. We went with FT because they listened to us and immediately put together the package that fit us. They answered all of our questions. They provided spec sheets on everything so we could have out contractor build the kitchen so everything would fit perfectly. Delivery and everything was perfectly smooth.

Jim King is the owner of Gulf Coast Kitchens. We contracted with him to remodel our kitchen. We were told that it would take about 8 weeks from signing the contract to have the Kitchen cabinets built , cabinet doors & veneer ordered and shipped. Once these items were available, it would take 5 days to install. I played "devils advocate" with Jim as I guessed that installation would take somewhat longer but he insisted that it would take at most 5-10 days to install. So we signed a contract on September 12 figuring that our kitchen remodeling project would be completed most likely by Thanksgiving or by the beginning of December. Terms of payment were 50% at contract signing, 30% at start of installation and 20% at completion. On Nov 7 Jim starts removing our existing cabinets as well as the microwave and stove.....we were thinking that the new cabinets would be installed as soon as the old ones were removed......dumb us.....we didn't ask that question!....after half the cabinets had been removed and microwave & stove carted away, Jim was ready to start removing other half of cabinets as well as dishwasher & sink. when we did ask that question.....Jim's response was that cabinets should be ready "in a few days" so that meant that we wouldn't have use of stove or microwave for a few days.....and now he was ready to tear out sink and dishwasher! We told him to stop removal until the new cabinets were ready to install as we couldn't afford to be without a functioning kitchen sink (not to mention not having a microwave & stove!). The new cabinets weren't installed and ready for installation of new appliances until Dec 18..so that was 6 weeks without a stove and a microwave! ...thank God we had a gas grill to cook on! The question is: "Why didnt Jim wait to tear out the old cabinets until the new ones were ready to install? His answer was that he thought the cabinets would be available in the "next few days" doesn't wash because he is the person who was building the cabinet boxes!..he should have known! His excuse was that he had to order the doors & the veneer to cover the cabinet boxes from an outfit in Pennsylvania and that they wouldn't provide him with delivery info! I think the real reason that he ripped out the cabinets on Nov 7 was to get his next 30% progress payment.........more on that later. Jim also said that he would install our new microwave, stove, & dishwasher......Well he did install the microwave and the stove but his employee didn't install the dishwasher.....so I rewired the electric and attached the relevant water/drain hoses to get it working in time for Christmas. Remember when Jim said that the cabinet installation would take 5 days? Here is a log of the dates that someone was on site working on the installation (by the way, they usually arrived about 10:30 AM and left by 3PM so we usually got a half day at most of work). Cabinets ripped out Nov 7 Cabinet install Dec 14, 17, 18, 20, Jan 16, 22, 23, Feb 18, March 12, April 8 Incredibly, it took 7 months for the project to be completed! Jim rarely answered the phone when I called him for status updates.....after repeated calls he would call back with apologies, excuses etc. (he didnt get our call, his cell phone was out of range) and then set a date to come out to work on project......there was a 50% chance that, when he gave you a date, he would not keep it. My opinion is that Jim is a one or two person operation with multiple simultaneous projects.....he can't afford to turn business down so he responds to loudest complainer.......he does a little piece of project A, then a piece of project B...just enough to temporarily satisfy them.....another issue is that I'm guessing that he has cash flow problems which could impact delivery to him of vendor items......he once told me he had to use his credit card to pay for items which indicates that he does not have open credit lineswith his vendors......hence his reason for wanting to rip out my cabinets (Nov 7) before the new ones were ready.....I'm guessing he needed the cash. I also notice that his cell phone rings a lot when he was on site working but that he wouldn't answer it......he sheepishly admitted that "I wouldn't get any work done if all I did was answer phone during the day" So how did the installation turn out? The new cabinets & countertop met our expectations. They look great although the finish in a couple of areas needs some adjusting. Jim, when he is available to work on-site does try hard to please.....but since we made the final payment, we have unsuccessfully tried to have Jim come out and fix a couple of minor issues.....wouldnt take him but 30 minutes to fix.....once again, he gives you a date he will visit and then never shows up! Its exasparating! I would NEVER do business with Jim again! And, in general, I would not deal with a one or two or three person organization!

Very well. The man was very competent and intelligent working with the desk/bed contraption which was challenging to assemble and install in a small room with a sloping floor.

Prompt response, even over a holiday week. Was easy to work with, friendly and communicated everything along the way. Would definitely use again and refer to others
