Cabinet installation drew opposite experiences from two June 2026 customers of Ray The Kitchen Expert. One praised Ray, Bernardo and Andrelea for installing cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms, calling the crew skilled and hardworking. The other requested a different installer after the measurement meeting, before installation began. That customer said they could not get clear answers about how cabinets would be installed in certain areas, disagreed with Ray over which dry-install tasks were his responsibility, and found the discussion argumentative and hard to follow. Their complaint concerns the planning meeting and communication, rather than completed installation work. The Manchester business’s Connecticut home improvement contractor registration is active.

Ray and his excellent crew of Bernardo and Andrelea did a great job installing the cabinets in my kitchen and bathrooms. Very skilled and hard working. Highly appreciated and recommended.
Was recommended by the kitchen studio I worked with but after meeting in person to verify measurements, I requested a different installer since Ray was very hard to understand, unprofessional and didn't understand his role in the project. He told me that I would have to do quite a few items myself even though they were part of a dry-install and kept arguing with me. Couldn't give me clear answer on how the cabinets will grt installed in certain areas so I couldn't relay information to the other contractors. He may have done a clean job during the install but his attitude and unprofessionalism didn't let us get to that part.
