People are our passion

Awesome group to work with! They took the time to learn about our lifestyle and family and designed a kitchen around this. We absolutely love our new kitchen and how it works with us instead of us trying to work with it. As usual with renos, sometimes things don't go according to plan. If we were not satisfied with something, they went into action to adjust things until we were happy with the outcome. In some cases, changes resulted in better outcomes. For example, there was an issue with the ordering of the backsplash that we picked out. They were able to find a tile that we ended up liking better than the original tile at no additional expense to us. They were always patient, professional and accommodating and worked within our budget. We would highly recommend this company to others and will use them for the next stage of renos for our home. Be forewarned that their work is so good that we ended up including additional renos (e.g. redoing the hardwood floors, baseboards...). Not having this done would have taken away from the beauty of their work.
