I can't safely use my microwave. Can't see into it at all. I talked to the cabinet guys. They won't lower it. They said it needs to be the appliance guys due to the vent placement. The appliance people won't move it. Period.

Any suggestions? I need it lowered 3". The cabinet guy says that they used to build them lower by using a 15" cabinet overhead, now they use a 12" cabinet, thus the microwave is 3" higher than they used to build it. The Cabinet guy says can trim out the lowered unit if I can get someone to lower it.

If love to have input, suggestions on who to call.

Thanks!!
Try a handyman.

We put a vent hood where the microwave went and built the microwave into a 4 foot wide wall we added to the kitchen. We actually put in a microwave/oven combination.
