The fact that Spencer provides both design and build services was something that played heavily in our decision to contract Haven Works. We highly recommend this type of service; and of course Spencer and Haven Works specifically. > > Through the design phase Spencer brought our vision to life via software based renderings, which greatly helped us visualize the space in different configurations, materials, and finishes; as well as through the delivery of material samples to our home which helped us make size, colour, and texture decisions within the project environment rather than in stores and warehouses. > > The demo was quick and efficient with Spencer working alongside his right-hand man Jesse; who was an absolute pleasure to have in our home. Through the entirety of the build phase Spencer, Jesse, and all of Spencer's sub-contractors were fantastic. We greatly appreciated everyone's punctuality, work ethic, attention to detail, and "no-shortcuts allowed" professionalism. > > We are now just over a year past completion of this project and we still could not be happier with the results. We have received so many compliments on the overall appearance, thoughtful layout, and finishes in the bathroom. We used this project to help us determine how to approach renovation of our master ensuite and upper level bathrooms, and given these results and our overall experiences throughout this project, we are very much looking forward to starting these next projects, and eventual kitchen renovation as well, all under the guidance of Spencer and team. > > S&K **★★★★★ — HU-501014276, Dec. 2024** > Haven Works renovated our lower level guest bathroom—a relatively small project that many contractors won’t do. Spencer worked within our budget and the finished project has all we wanted to include plus a few upgrades and was significantly under the original quote. Workmanship is excellent! Spencer and Jesse were prompt and efficient every time they were in our home. Email and text communications were helpful. > > I would use Haven Works again and will recommend them to others. **★★★★★ — Wale Oyelusi, Oct. 2024** > Haven Works renovated our utility room into a den for us. Spencer took the time pre-reno to understand our vision of the project and our budget. He offered valuable recommendations along the way. The renovation was completed on time and matched our wishes. We are satisfied with our experience with Haven works. **★★★★★ — Jordan, Feb. 2024** > We had Haven Works design a large-scale renovation on our house and we were thoroughly impressed on all counts. Spencer thoughtfully designed several initial options based on our inquiry and worked with us to fine tune a perfect solution for our life style. We would have rated 6 stars if that was an option! **★★★★★ — Doug Pippus, Jan. 2024** > From initial consultation through to completion, we felt like Spencer and his team were with us and helping us through the whole process. His advice to phase the project in order to cut costs was a definite money saver. The design itself is both functional and beautiful. Throughout every stage of the build, Spencer was accessible and approachable. He was as cost conscious as we were but also not afraid to push back at times so that we understood that what might appear to be a good deal on some supplies was not necessarily so. > Since Haven Works did all the work of interfacing with the city planning department, inspectors, etc. we experienced no undue pressure or anxiety. It was also the case that, when supply problems necessitated some change of plans, we were fully consulted and advised as to our options before any decision was made. > We love our new home and look forward to aging in place right here, in this beautiful setting, surrounded by family. > Thanks to Spencer and all his team, as well as all the sub-trades involved! **★★★★★ — Brady M, Oct. 2023** > We are very pleased with the cedar pergola that Spencer and Jesse designed and built for our backyard garden. Throughout the process, Spencer was communicative, knowledgeable, and willing to listen to our input to ensure we were satisfied with the final product. The quote and timeline we received up front was fair, and was honoured, and any problems encountered were quickly rectified in a professional manner. We'd recommend this small business to anybody looking! **Comment from Haven Works Ltd.:** > Thanks for your business Brady! I hope this pergola serves you well for many years! **★★★★★ — Pearl Abel, Dec. 2022** > Spencer is a very knowledgeable individual performing remodelling projects. With his architect background, I was able to tap into his design ideas. I found he readily listened to what I wanted done with my kitchen and bathroom and also gave me his feedback ideas too. > > Spencer performed much of the work himself as well. > > He sent professional drawings to me along with the cost estimate. > > His completion timeline was very reasonable and was kept close to what he originally gave me as the finishing date. Small company, and excellent rates. > I am extremely happy with the finished project. Customer satisfaction is very important to Spencer. **★★★★★ — Erik Johnson, Aug. 2022** > Haven made our dream kitchen a reality! They offered innovative insights for the designs and delivered a final product that was stunning. Spencer was very professional and dependable. We would definitely recommend and use Haven Works for future projects. **Comment from Haven Works Ltd.:** > Erik, it was a pleasure working with you to create something unique! **★★★★★ — Rachel Arline, July 2022** > Working with Spencer was so important for us to have our home become what it is! He thinks of big concepts of space and beauty but also of all the little things that make space useful and practical. We love our house and recommend Haven Works to everyone we know! **Comment from Haven Works Ltd.:** > Thanks, Rachel. I had so much fun working with you - that kitchen ceiling!! **★★★★★ — Joel, July 2022** > We recently purchased a 4-level split and did significant renovations on 3 of the four floors. Spencer's support throughout the entire renovation process led us to a finished product that we love. He took the the time to understand our wants and needs and built on those, leading us to a finished product that is not only beautiful but maximizes space and function (a must for our growing family). His eye for design, ability to liaise with trades, and hands on approach eased the stress of the renovation. We couldn't be happier with our new home and wouldn't change a thing! **Comment from Haven Works Ltd.:** > Joel, we will have to get photos of the backyard soon so people can see the amazing mural! ## Selected projects - [Ramsay House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ramsay-house-pj-vj~6940527) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 31 - Description: This new home in the historic Calgary neighbourhood of Ramsay strikes a contemporary tone in contrast to a number of historic homes in the area.

An outdoor patio alcove is carved from the side of the home creating an int… - [Golden Garage Suite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/golden-garage-suite-pj-vj~7007981) - Location: Golden, BC - Photos: 17 - Description: The laneway suite in Golden B.C. was designed by Haven Works in 2016/2017.

The layout was designed to be reconfigured to maximize area for sleeping while maintaining a cozy chalet feel. The high ceilings, exceptionally crafted from fir timber, provide an openness and scale t… - [Sinclair House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sinclair-house-pj-vj~6969921) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 15 - Description: This renovation for a post-war split level in Calgary incorporates large amounts of natural light in combination with warm wood materials and brightly painted white gypsum walls to create timeless and lively living spaces for a young family.

A more generous kitchen and dining area, along with a new rear entrance and office/bedroom were added by extending into an existing carport sharing a roof with the house. The addition of these spaces creates a primary orientation north to south, with sleeping quarters on a transept axis along the south. Expansive glazing was added to soak the main living spaces with daylight… [See all 4 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/haven-works-ltd-pfvwus-pf~1740932324) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
