Suyun 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2012 I saw a carpenter while installing a kitchen cabinate, accidentally cracked the laminate. Later he used another piece of laminate and overlay on the broken laminate? Question to ask! Is this acceptable ? Wouldn't the owner be able to feel the extra thickness of n the cabinate? Why can the carpenter remove the first laminate and place a new one instead of overlay? The cabinate was not sitting properly on the mortar base, and the carpenter place a piece of wood in sharp of a triangle to balance tone cabinate, is that the norm or not?The kitchen cabinate was delivered during a heavy storm and drenching in rain as it was not totally covered by any form of canvass protection. I was told by the contractor that is okay to use the cabinate and that the plywood is not damaged by the rain and will not have any problem.Can anyone enlighten me? I don't want to be taken for a ride as I paid a lot of Money for my kitchen cabinate and I don't feel happy about the whole thing right now. Pls help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
