Kitchen Renovation by Creative Design To be without a kitchen, particularly over Christmas, could be a very traumatic time for any family. Fortunately, Jason and the Creative Design team minimized any issues throughout the demolition, construction and installing phases. From the outset, we felt very comfortable with the collaboration of Jason from Creative Design and Donna Ilago from XYZ Design. The challenge was to incorporate the attributes of a modern kitchen within a traditional turn of the century home with its archways and mahogany and oak trim. Donna worked wonders with the initial design and Jason addressing the numerous structural issues. As construction began, they both continued working together identifying issues and offering solutions. From start to finish, there was constant communication between us. We were very impressed with the professionalism of all members of Creative Design construction and installing teams. They went out of their way to minimize any disruption to our lives. The job site was kept clean and organized and draped off to keep the rest of our house livable. The only major surprise during the renovation was finding evidence of knob and tube wiring. This required removing the old wiring throughout the house. The electricians from Direct Connect Electrical were able to complete the work without damaging any plaster ceilings or decorative mahogany trim. Jason assembled a great crew to bring Donna’s design to reality. We now have a kitchen that is both stunning and functional that blends beautifully with the rest of our home. Thank you to Jason, Donna, and their teams for their professionalism and dedication towards quality and service. And most of all, reducing our anxiety throughout the entire process.

This past winter, we decided to finish the basement in our almost 30 year old house. We knew there would be some challenges due to the original building codes from 1989 having to be updated; ie, larger windows suitable for bedrooms. We called Jason and he met with us in our home and then provided us with a comprehensive quote. The first quote was out of our budget, but we felt from our first meeting that this was a company we wanted to work with. We were truthful with Jason and he did not hesitate to come back to our home and came up with a much more suitable budget-friendly plan for our somewhat complicated basement. Once we decided to go forward with the project, Jason gave us a start date and off we went! From day one, his team took the time to protect the parts of our home that were not being renovated; ie hardwoods flooring on the main floor leading to the basement. This was very much appreciated as it kept the wood protected while they went back and forth. Every member of Jason's team was respectful towards our entire family throughout the whole process. They always took the time to ask if we minded them working later or on weekends. Our children felt safe in our home even with "strangers" being in it, although we did get to know them rather well! Some changes needed to be made as we went, and we would have liked a bit better communication to make sure everything was running smoothly. However, Jason never hesitated to remedy any situation if he thought we might be not be satisfied. It was also nice to deal with Ken, who was a great go-between us and Jason. During the final walk through, after the basement was thoroughly cleaned by a professional company, Jason took the time to note all the last minute things that needed to be done and sent someone to do them the next day. All in all, we are very satisfied with our renovation project and our girls are happy to have their bedrooms in the basement! I would highly recommend Jason and his team to anyone looking to do renovations.

We recently underwent a major renovation on the main level of our new home. We’d met with a few contractors before Creative Design Contractors but none of them felt like a right fit. We were nearing our possession date and needed to find someone fast so on the recommendation of our designer we met with Jason. We immediately knew we’d found the right person for the job. His passion, dedication and professionalism were obvious from the start and never wavered. Luckily for us, Jason was able to get up to speed quickly, provided us with a quote that we reviewed and worked together to identify additional costs savings by supplying some materials ourselves, using a few independent trades’ people we knew and salvaging materials. We were also very happy to hear that they guaranteed their work for two years. From day one we were impressed with the entire team at Creative Design Contractors. Everyone who worked on our home was knowledgeable in their craft, professional, listened to our questions or concerns, responded quickly to calls/texts and always respectful, friendly and fun to be around. We trusted these people, which was important considering everyone had full access to our home day and night. Jason and his team worked diligently to deliver a finished product we could all be proud of. The level of detail was evident in everything they did from refinishing walls, installing lights, windows, trim, kitchen cabinets, appliances, plumbing and more. If we hired an independent trade’s person, Jason and his team worked with them to ensure everything was completed as planned. Issues or addendums were addressed quickly, with options and always in consideration of our budget. Deficiencies noted during the final walkthrough were dealt with before our final move in. Even an issue we had a few weeks after the renovation was completed and resolved quickly. My husband and I often joked that for three months there was a third person in our relationship...Jason. He is always connected to you, letting you know how the project is progressing; putting your mind at ease when issues come up and ensuring you are still on track to meet your target budget and completion date. In the end, we were ecstatic that we did come in close to our original budget and completion date, which were only off because of an unforeseen issue had with a supplier we chose to use. My husband always says in life, as in business, you always want to be around and work with people you like, are comfortable with and respect. This was the case with Jason and his team. This company takes great pride in everything they do and we couldn’t imagine having gone through this renovation with anyone else. We’ve used them since for small projects and will continue to use them again and again. So if you are looking for a contractor then look no further because this is the one for you, we can honestly say you will not be disappointed. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Creative Design Contractors for helping us to build our dream home, we couldn’t have done it without all of you. J & D
