Turnbull Interiors of Distinction Inc.

I am always grateful and extremely happy when I hire Irene to do anything for me. There is a sense of trust that she builds with her clients that I have not experienced before in this business. I enjoy her approach to projects no matter how large or small. Each one is dealt with in a timely manner and I truly believe she has your best interests at heart. I appreciate her professionalism and artistic flair

I used Turnbull Interiors for a kitchen renovation (countertops, faucet, backsplash, pot lights) and paint job. To say I am happy with the results would be an understatement. Irene exceeded our expectations and all sticking within budget. She quickly identified our needs (family with small children) and helped me to select items that are functional, stylish, and unique. We constantly get compliments on our stone countertops and mosaic style backsplash! At one point I wanted to purchase an expensive and fancy faucet and she educated me on how it wouldn't be practical around children, so she helped me to select a more reasonable, yet equally fabulous alternative. She truly cares! Her trades people are also highly professional and respectful. If you're looking for someone who is passionate and really, really knows what they're doing - just call Irene.

I recently had the outdated main floor of my condo renovated, including kitchen, dining room, living room and powder room. It was a huge job, and I am so grateful that I found Turnbull Interiors to do the work. Irene made it easy to create the look I wanted, providing options and advice that gave me confidence in my choices. When I was confused looking at a dozen different white paint colours, Irene knew which white colour would give the result I wanted. She had excellent product information, and all her trade people were highly professional. Irene took a personal interest in making sure everything went beyond my expectations. Working with someone so kind and understanding was important to me, as I was ill during much of the work, and she took the burden off my shoulders as much as possible. I can’t recommend Turnbull Interiors highly enough!

When our condo suffered severe water damage and subsequent mold problems requiring the lower level to be stripped to the studs, we engaged Irene Turnbull to rebuild the unit. Irene took on the project with a zeal and determination that I’ve never encountered before. She used her extensive experience in design to assist us in making dozens of choices involving materials, fixtures, colors and textures. Her stable of tradespeople insured that the job would be completed expeditiously and within budget. I cannot speak highly enough of Irene and how she transformed our wrecked condo into a showplace.

It all started with a leaky faucet. And I got to thinking well why not replace that single sink too while I’m at it? I knew that meant moving the dishwasher to the island and from there it became a ripple effect. Why not give that upstairs bathroom a facelift too? I've had that tiny tub up there for years - yup 53 x 14, and now's the time to make some changes. Enter Irene. I reached out for guidance and that's exactly what I got. I had a vision of what I wanted for my 1884 farmhouse and working with Irene made that happen. In fact, it’s even better than I envisioned. She took me to see counters, to select tiles, to select bathroom faucets, a tub, a toilet and of course that kitchen faucet that started it all. Her knowledge guided everything I did. Her patience was comforting as I grew my vision. I could call her anytime for advice...and I did. The contractor and plumber told me it was impossible to have a shower in my upstairs bathroom but Irene said it was possible and to insist. Well today I have a beautiful shower upstairs with my soaker tub and a lovely Euro shower door. When you work with a professional, everything changes. You're armed with the information you need for decision making. And at every decision point, her check in with me was one simple question - Are you happy? I felt supported and listened to and knew I could reach out at anytime... Would I work with Irene again? You bet!

Irene worked with us this year on a complete kitchen renovation. We found her to be the consummate professional! She is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the renovation process and guided us through our decisions based on quality, durability and design. This was extremely important to having the high-quality results we achieved!! The tradespeople that Irene used were also extremely knowledgeable and professional and we enjoyed having all of them working in our house. One of the things I found most outstanding was that Irene was "with us" every step of the way. She maintained very close contact and followed up on every aspect of the work being completed to ensure we were happy with each step. She was always available to us and returned emails and phone calls very promptly. We felt very confident about this whole process due to Irene's management of the project from start to finish! We couldn't have done such a big reno without her!! We would highly recommend Irene of Turnbull Interiors for any renovation/decorating project!!!!

Painting an entire home is a daunting task but Irene patiently assisted us in successfully choosing a paint colour that transformed our home into a new modern space. We can't thank her enough for her diligent and meticulous process that led to such a successful transformation of our home.

Irene helped us with the redesign of the entire main floor of our home. She made suggestions that had never occurred to us and the result is amazing! Irene has a keen eye for detail and helped us completely transform our home. We couldn't be happier with the result.

My husband and I have bee fortunate to obtain the services of Turnbull Interiors. Once you hire this company you will never chose anyone else. Irene Turnbull is the master of completing the job to perfection. She does what you want, The best tradespersons are used. Every man would agree to the professional workmanship provided. Excellent service! We are on our third home improvement and as usual are so very pleased. Irene is a small lady who gets big jobs done right. She is never too busy to discuss the work or to inform you of what is happening. A pleasure to deal with. Laura and Walt Malarczuk

Irene helped us select colours for our living room drapes and cushions to help brighten up the room and give a more modern feel to it. We are delighted with the outcome! The fabrics are beautiful and of high quality. The workmanship is excellent.

Irene was recommended to us by our neighbor and we are so glad she did. Irene is a consumate professional, keeps her eye on the target and ensures the project moves ahead. First meeting Irene we knew that our kitchen was in good hands in terms of what will get changed and how to make our old and sad kitchen into a modern, inviting, gourmet chef quality kitchen. Not only did Irene have an excellent design and plan she also hires the best trades people available. Irene has high standards for every aspect of the remodel both during the planning and the execution. If you can't work to her level of quality, you will not work on one of her projects. We are super pleased with her work and only wish we knew of her earlier when we were remodeling another part of the house. Not to be forgotten, beyond her design skills, the best part of Irene is that she is a great project manager. She managed my kitchen remodel and it was by far the best and least stressful remodeling I have ever been involved with. Irene is fantastic! We just hired her again to redo our basement remodel. Can't wait to see her design for the basement. I know it will be amazing when finished.

Irene has been a joy to work with. She is accessible and keeps us updated. Our project has had many setbacks due to COVID-19 but she has always found ways to get things done. She shines during challenging times. Irene has wonderful ideas that may seem small at first but make major impact. Her colour and style sense is impeccable.
