Wow! I'm not a pro, and don't have the answer to your questions, but that is a terrible terrible botch job. I would not accept that. I would not accept any "fix" or repair to that mess. Make them do it over, and get it right.

(not a pro) It looks like a disaster to me.

Aren't you bothered by the way they jaggedly cut into your cabinets?

Were your cabinets all dinged up and chipped like that before these workers came in?

Get another fabricator. This one can’t do the job. Eat the cost or sue for what you’ve paid for and for the difference between contact price and what you’ll end up paying.. It really is that simple, albeit painful.

Mrs. S, the oak cabinets were recently painted and the painter will be back for final touch ups after all renovation work is done (another week). The chips are from the upper decorative doors being removed to make way for the apron sink and range top. The cabinet to the left side of the sink was recklessly trimmed by the fabricator. Deciding on whether to have it repaired via a wood filler and painted, or add a 1/2"-3/4" trim on both sides of the sink to conceal the damage. Same for the range top. The reason for gap on right side of range top is the counter top on the right extends over the plywood underlayment, pushing the range top towards the left, hence the gap. The house will be listed for sale, but still would like to correct it as best as possible. p.s. the fabricators are licensed "kitchen experts."

Thats hackery all the way around, cabinets to the countertops. You certainly aren't getting your money back for the kitchen reno. I would make you give me a discount off the price unless an awful lot of work is done and the entire kitchen looked a hell of a lot better.

Aj P, you cannot fix gaps with wood filler! It is for filling surface dings or old screw holes, not creating extensions on pieces of wood. Either the template was wrong or the counter was cut wrong, and if he templated it, then it’s HIS problem either way.

The counter is unacceptable - this fabricator not only hasn’t a clue what he’s doing, he’s lying to you. Do not accept the counter; it needs to be redone by someone else. You will never get good results out of this idiot no matter how many times he does it.

OMG thats all I can say.

Where did you find this fabricator and also the painter? Why did you hire them? Did they have references? Did you get quotes from other contractors? Just curious, and as a lesson to others reading this thread.

Get another drawer front, trim the ends off, and cover the hacked cabinet at the range top please. It makes the lines line up too:

You can't do the same at the sink, but some paint and/or white caulk may do especially that this isn't at eye level. What sink make and model is that please?

This is a perfect example of why apron sinks and range tops have to be centered in cabinets perfectly. That's why fabricators love negative reveals in undermount sinks; if they're off a bit, no one knows.

Are these idiots colorblind? Does anyone see any bright white anywhere on these tops? Have them Dremel out the bright white fill and replace it with clear with just a kiss of gray tint please.

Let's hope that's a seam I'm seeing in the botched inside corner. If it isn't, they've negated the manufacturer's warranty by not having a 3/8" radius. It is doomed to crack and fail.

Sinks aren't mounted with wood shims that shrink. Shrinking wood shims let the sink drop, the silicone joint fails, and the sink leaks.

Sink leaks make perfect dark damp bug habitat; I've got the pictures.

The sink should be strapped, not clipped or shimmed in place. Hercules Universal Sink Harness or Sink Strap please.

"Any fabricators that can advise on this work?"

I don't work as a fabricator any longer, but I am a

DuPont Certified Engineered Stone Installer. I wrote a magazine column on countertops for four consecutive years and have three licenses in two states.

"Is the inside corner repairable?"

Hard to say. I'd start by razor blading that adhesive mess off.

" Is the line leading from inside corner (not straight) a seam, as I'm almost certain it is?"

Looks like it to me. If they're lying about the existence of an obvious seam, what else are they lying about?

"Are the island corners repairable? Is the left gap between counter edge and sink acceptable, or bad work?"

See above, please.

"I take there is no quick fix for the 1/4" variance that has resulted in the range top not being centered?.

Correct. No quick fix.

"Any ideas on trim to close the gap on right side of range top and gap on left side of sink?"

See above please.

Continue to sit on the money. You're actually doing them a favor by doing so. Check the tops for level and flatness please.

Not a pro either, but, that is about one of the worst installations I have ever seen. There is no way, I would accept that, nor would I pay for anything like that. Since this is the second time they botched up, one would have to assume, they are just not capable. I am very much afraid, this part of your remodel will have to be completely redone, with all new slab and a new installer, and this time, please check out the installers work in person.

Everything in those pictures needs to be redone. It's screaming unlicensed handyman and corner pop stand fabricator.

M Miller: The fabricator and painter (both operating under licensed contractors) were referrals by a carpenter and real estate, respectively. The cabinetry paint overall isn't as bad as it looks, although the painter agreed that it will need a second coat. The hack work in the photos is rubbing off on paint work, but in and of itself, paint quality is mid grade; definitely not a piano finish.

Joseph Corlett, LLC: The sink is a Kraus. Got it on Wayfair (under $400 shipped). The cabinet guy did something similar with the range top to what you advised for the sink. However, the range top was protruding sitting on the drawer front pieces that he placed on the sides and bottom. Removed to give it a cleaner look. Might have to reattach now over the sides and bottom. See pic below. One of two areas I was under the impression they got right (under microwave counter and serving station counter) actually has some flows of its own. The seam has a dark tint and there's a small chip next to the seam. Definitely not as bad as the other pieces. Speaking of the other pieces, found a stain near sink as I was observing today. The corner of another piece, shown below, does not match the soft corner of the island (notice the sharpness).

ProSource Memphis: Nope, all licensed. The fabricators operate under a licensed kitchen remodeling company. Looking at it logically, appears that this was done by one of their less skilled fabricators. Their numerous delays due to "other jobs" also point to possibly this job being rushed. You can tell variation in quality of work, from stone to stone. You can hardly see the seams on the 2" eased edges, and the sharp corner, which is telling of multiple hands behind this work.
