Thank you Debbra for your business and the review.
Dear Carol.
John and his team are like a well-oiled machine that produces wonders! Decades of experience and hard work are packed in there :) We are very happy to hear that you have experienced it and as a result got a lovely kitchen!
As for the in-home planning that our team offers, it saddens us that IKEA doesn't offer bookings online for that. It would be more convenient for you, the customer, and as you said, it would save a lot of time, energy and driving hours.
Please let us know if you need any more work in the future.
Enjoy the kitchen and we hope it brings you joy.
Modus team.

Thank you!
Proper coordination is half the job! :)
We are happy to hear that you have had positive experience and wish you enjoy the space!
Dear Joyce.

Thank you, Nick!
"simple, transparent and efficient" combined with our experience is the winning combo for a successful job. We are glad you have recognized this and are happy that you had positive experience, especially nowadays when those horror stories are a common occurrence in the busy industry. We would be happy to work with you in the future!
Dear Kerry F.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are sorry to hear that you had a poor experience with our Calgary team. As your kitchen project has now been completed, and our further efforts to work with you towards a more positive outcome have been refused, allow me to lay out the chronological installation process to clarify why the situation turned out the way it did.
Countertop:
Our IKEA Planning specialist met with you as scheduled to assist with planning your kitchen at your home in April. The service that you booked was a flat fee service to help you lay out the IKEA kitchen cabinets at $250 for 4 hours of in-home consultation. As you were made aware from pre- appointment communication, as per the outlines of your selected service our Planner does not pick the countertop material for you and all material-selection decisions are required to be made prior to the appointment. When it was indicated during your appointment that you preferred a 15” deep island our planner reminded you that you would be required to select a countertop at your leisure either at IKEA or through a different supplier, and would be able to confirm selection/pricing at that point . A technical detail stating that the 15” deep countertop does not exist as a pre-cut material at IKEA was provided to you at that time, along with paperwork noting: “Customer to finalize countertop selection”. Unfortunately, the material that was purchased in store was not suitable for the surface it was intended to cover. This incorrect material then arrived to the job site where our installers brought this to your attention. At that time it was then made clear to our team that you would instead like it to be cut for another portion of the kitchen (not the area in question), and our installers proceeded as per your work order. Later in the day you stated your final decision not to use the piece after all, but as the material was already opened and cut it was deemed unable to be returned to the supplier. In good faith, and to alleviate the frustration that you were experiencing, our office offered to cover the cost on your behalf.
Panel material:
At the conclusion of your original kitchen planning appointment, our IKEA specialist provided you with a final confirmed and completed layout saved into your personal online IKEA account, along with the appropriate paperwork.. However, at some point between the conclusion of your planning appointment and the day of purchasing materials at IKEA, your original completed layout was logged in to and changed from our Planner’s recommended final state. This resulted in the original material list compiled by our planner to now be inaccurate, as we were not aware of the design changes which now required an additional panel to reflect the changes made. Of course, there was no way for us to know that revisions had been made, and our installation team was faced with an incomplete order for installation. We immediately proceeded to order it and deliver it from IKEA in your behalf, however it was unfortunately not in stock at your local IKEA store on that day.
Fridge:
In instances like this there is unfortunately no way to know how or when the dent occurred, so instead of pointing fingers we decided to offer you compensation for half of the amount of the fridge dent fix/ new door cost.
Other:
It was clearly stated that you refused to pay our installation team for their full day of work if they would not provide free removal of all materials packaging. In an effort to make the best of a stressful situation, our office agreed to provide this service complimentary, although it is usually offered at the time of booking as a separate fee/service.
We understand well how complex a kitchen renovation is, and this is why we make such an effort to provide clearly outlined and detailed instructions in all our verbal and written communication prior to booking services. This has been put in place to ensure a smooth workflow, but unfortunately this documentation is sometimes ignored and/or labeled redundant, and this is often when challenges/issues surface and sometime cause the scheduled work from proceeding as planned. Unfortunately, instructions were not followed in this case, our cabinet layout was changed without letting us know and our installation team was faced with a surprising new layout and improper material on-site.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to present the facts related to this job.
Please enjoy your IKEA kitchen, as it is an amazing product and will serve you well for decades to come.
