We went to the original cabinet manufacturer and they have merged with another company. The style and color we have was discontinued the first quarter of this year. They declined the job.

No one will modify the end tall cabinet to accommodate the wall oven. One business suggested an accent cabinet after the tall cabinet in the open space before the window (about 40" of wall space). The current switches on that wall would need to be moved closer to the window in the open space. But even after suggesting it, they have not moved forward with the project. We would need a small area over the stove tiled as part of the project, too.

We suspect since it is a small job, no one wants to do it.

Any suggestions?
I actually suspect this may be a larger project then you are thinking. Unless the oven is a smaller unit or the cabinet is much wider than ours I cannot see the oven fitting where you want. Then the oven may require a vent through the roof, check the existing installation for a vent. Then you will need an electrician (or plumber for gas) to move or replace the electrical supply. A picture of what you have would be worth a thousand words in this case.
If you still want to pursue this, I believe there are 1 or 2 custom cabinet makers that MAY be able to come close or if you are really lucky match your existing cabinets.
In any case I think you are looking at a significant expense.
I hope others have alternate ideas on this.
