From start to finish Vince and his team were detailed oriented, budget conscious and were always sharing information and ideas to make our dream home even better. The team was professional and friendly, which made us feel at ease throughout the process. We would highly recommend Reid Contracting! **Comment from Gentry Home Builders:** > Thank you for the kind words. We are so happy you chose us to build your new custom home and hope that you're settled in nicely. **★★★★★ — Christine Wasieczko, Oct. 2016** > From start to finish Reid Contracting went above and beyond all my expectations! All the employees and subcontractors were amazing to deal with including all the suppliers. I loved the transparency during the build, I got to see where my budget was at all times which helped me stay on budget! Reid made sure everything was completed a 100%. **★★★★★ — rickwedman, April 2016** > Our home was replaced by Reid Contracting after our original house was destroyed by fire. Our insurance provider and adjuster recommended a complete rebuild, therefore old foundation and remaining structure was totally demolished so new home could be constructed on original site. Reid's framing crew were excellent and efficient getting home to lock-up. Sub contractors involved were also effective and provided first rate quality work. Neil Smith was able to respond timely when ever an issue arose and these were resolved to our satisfaction. Reid was awarded the bid to build home because of Neil's efforts to gather all details of what we had in our home that burned and his concern that we should get equivalent value in fixtures, cabinetry and other items within budget. We are thankful and do recommend Reid Contracting as new home builder. **Comment from Gentry Home Builders:** > Thank you for this great feedback. We were very happy to work with you and are thrilled that we could help you get you back in your home after such a huge devastation. **★★★★★ — jeff8081, Feb. 2016** > I have the privilege of being a sub-contractor for Reid Contracting Ltd. for the past 4 years . Over the years I have worked with many Home Builders, and Vince and his team are of the few that I would recommend. They are vey organized, and they push hard to keep the building process on time and on budget with quality workmanship. If you are looking for a new home, renovation, or any other project I would recommend Vince and the Team at Reid Contracting Ltd. **★★★★★ — silviaskillen, Dec. 2015** > We would like to thank Vince, Adam and the whole Reid contracting team for the incredible work they did building our dream retirement home! From day one we experienced their professionalism and attention to detail, the dead lines were met and the whole process was transparent and uneventful. All the trades were very pleasant to work with, they paid attention to our wishes and consulted us for all decisions taken during the process, working through the issues with the engineers resulting on a beautiful home, especially the back patio, which we will enjoy for many years to come! Thanks, it was a real pleasure working with your team. Allen and Silvia Skillen **Comment from Gentry Home Builders:** > Thank you for the kind words.

It's as if the walls still radiate the energy of the families that have resided there over the years. Part of that warmth and character is what draws people to mature homes. Sometimes, however, the outdated style of the home far trumps the character to some when it comes to deciding whether or not it's time to renovate or start over fresh with a new home. What many people don't realize is the potential in their existing… - [Capilano Infill Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/capilano-infill-project-pj-vj~2370215) - Location: Edmonton, AB - Photos: 47 - [Custom Home Construction](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-home-construction-pj-vj~2407055) - Location: Waskatenau, AB - Photos: 13 - [Custom Country Rustic Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-country-rustic-home-pj-vj~2311461) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 28 - [Strathcona County Reno](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/strathcona-county-reno-pj-vj~2370263) - Location: Sherwood Park, AB - Photos: 5 - [Edmonton Custom Infill II](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/edmonton-custom-infill-ii-pj-vj~2370246) - Location: Edmonton, AB - Photos: 4 - [Custom Country Home with Mediterranean Flair](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-country-home-with-mediterranean-flair-pj-vj~2370213) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Whole Home Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whole-home-renovation-pj-vj~2370289) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [Custom Cabin](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-cabin-pj-vj~1302021) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Edmonton custom infill](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/edmonton-custom-infill-pj-vj~2370230) - Location: Edmonton, AB - Photos: 3 - [New custom home build](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-custom-home-build-pj-vj~2370219) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Custom Home Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-home-addition-pj-vj~2370404) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Edmonton River Valley Infill](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/edmonton-river-valley-infill-pj-vj~2370227) - Location: Edmonton, AB - Photos: 3 - [Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathrooms-pj-vj~1275950) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Custom Spaces](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-spaces-pj-vj~1302005) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Before and After](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/before-and-after-pj-vj~1362796) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 43 - [Home Staging Capilano Infill](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-staging-capilano-infill-pj-vj~2139771) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - Description: 2015 New Build Infill in Capilano staged by Final Touch Home Staging - [Strathcona County Renovation II](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/strathcona-county-renovation-ii-pj-vj~2667279) - Location: Ardrossan, AB - Photos: 45 [See all 18 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/gentry-home-builders-pfvwus-pf~1796230238) ## Ideabooks - [Lights](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/79168793/list/lights) — 2 ideas - [gazebo](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/57030615/list/gazebo) — 13 ideas - [Dream Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/33851092/list/dream-kitchens) — 28 ideas - [extra spaces](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/64092251/list/extra-spaces) — 5 ideas - [Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/33851012/list/bathrooms) — 16 ideas - [butlers pantry](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/66549602/list/butlers-pantry) — 1 idea - [Outdoor Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/62020768/list/outdoor-kitchens) — 2 ideas - [Mudroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/62019766/list/mudroom) — 4 ideas - [bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/59289040/list/bedroom) — 3 ideas - [Kitchen Storage](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/55621717/list/kitchen-storage) — 1 idea - [Before and After - Whole Home Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/51423587/list/before-and-after-whole-home-renovation) — 21 ideas - [Rustic Chic Cabin](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/42218714/list/rustic-chic-cabin) — 21 ideas - [Modern Office Space](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/34880520/list/modern-office-space) — 6 ideas - [Fireplaces](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/33851057/list/fireplaces) — 4 ideas - [Wine Cellar](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/33851040/list/wine-cellar) — 1 idea - [A Closet fit for a Queen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/33850989/list/a-closet-fit-for-a-queen) — 2 ideas - [New Home Build](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/33850950/list/new-home-build) — 5 ideas - [Modern Infill](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/33850843/list/modern-infill) — 14 ideas [See all 18 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/gentryhomebuilders) ## Community Q&A **Q: Floors in the kitchen great room** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the gray stain color on the floors? A: The floors are Maple and the colour is Limestone. **Q: Paint Color** *(in Photo Questions)* I love the paint color...can you tell me what it is? A: It's Silver Fox Grey by Benjamin Moore. **Q: Can this 1986 family room be saved?** *(in Design Dilemma)* I know it would dramatically change the look to paint all the window trim white, as is the trend, but that isn't in the budget. What color would you paint the walls? And do you paint the bookshelves the same as all the walls or do you paint them white and the walls a different color? Or is that too confusing to the eye? Also, would you paint the large trim piece that goes horizontal? I'm not sure I like how it divides the room. Or is it architectural? Also, would you paint it white or same color as the walls? The upstairs has the dated oak built ins as well. Do you paint them white or just make them disappear by painting them same as wall color? I like the ceiling, railing, and wood ceiling beams. Any advice on what could be done with the space would be appreciated. A: Some new floors, white paint and trim would help brighten and modernize your space. I would paint everything the same colour, including the shelves. Changing out your fireplace insert could also make a difference, however I would keep the wood mantle as is, as it appears to complement the wood on your ceiling. I would also paint the wood railing white. The big, beautiful windows in your room are similar to a new custom home we completed in this photo. **Q: Need help with steam shower build** *(in Design Dilemma)* I'm remodeling my bath and adding a steam shower. I've purchased Mr Steam and iSteam. My builder has never done one and he and I agree that we would like to find someone that has experience to ensure it is done correctly. The vendor we purchased the Mr Steam products from had no referrals to give us. Called Mr Steam and was given the name of a company who installs the steam components only. My concern is in ensuring the vapor proofing is done correctly. I live in a small town. I'm in between Dallas/Fort Worth and Austin. How do I go about finding someone with experience in constructing the steam shower? A: A steam shower is a great luxury to have in your home. There are a variety of ways to properly waterproof your steam shower. We use a high quality tile backer board followed by a roll-on waterproofing compound. As for the location of your steam head, it should be located approximately 6-12 inches above the floor on the wall opposite the seating area, away from the door. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
