### All 7 reviews

**★★★★★ — Robin Wisener, Nov. 2017**

> Tim and Chris are incredibly efficient and also precise - a quality that is often lacking in those that work quickly. While I value efficiency in a significant renovation, I actually feel that creativity gets the better result. Together as a team, and each individually, they offered creative solutions to challenges, minor and major, that are typical in any project. In the end: a carefully crafted look that brought a tired old house into the real world with a nice bit of whimsy! Thanks Guys!

**★★★★★ — Jalyn and Bill Anderson, Nov. 2017**

> Our kitchen, dining room and main floor were completely transformed by Home by Tim + Chris. Everything was done to utter perfection! On time, on budget and delightful from the first consult to the spectacular reveal. They were masterful at assessing our taste and introducing us to complementary, new design favourites. Their attention to detail was truly unparalleled.
> Best was their warm communication style and design-build expertise. They know the industry, the trades and the designers. You couldn't hire anyone better than Home by Tim + Chris.

**★★★★★ — User, Nov. 2017**

> Nine years ago, I moved into a 1946 bungalow - complete with a dark kitchen that had undergone an unfortunate renovation some time in the mid-80s. I turned to Tim and Chris for help. They had a vision for my kitchen and transformed it into an open, welcoming space - removing a needless wall (let there be natural light!) and replacing all the light fixtures. It’s now my favourite room, much more functional and flows beautifully with the rest of the home. They were an absolute joy to work with! I so appreciated their thoughtful design decisions, meticulous attention to detail and respect for my budget. Bonus: on seeing the refreshed kitchen my realtor commented I’d likely increased my home’s value by 20%. I would highly recommend Home by Tim + Chris to anyone looking to refresh (or completely overhaul) their living space.

**Comment from Home by Tim + Chris:**

> Thanks Susan!  It was a pleasure working with you and so happy to hear that it's your favorite room.

**★★★★★ — plantingroots, Oct. 2017**

> We hired Home by Tim + Chris when we bought our home a couple of years ago to help us update the interior.  They did an amazing job bringing our colour scene and décor up-to-date and in-line with our personal style.  We just hired them again to build a fence and help us with our backyard.  The work was well-organized and completed in a timely manner.  The fence is amazing or, in the words of our neighbours, a masterpiece.  Their work is impeccable and they have such great style.  They added detail to the fence that made it more than just a fence:  it is a beautiful frame for our yard.  Tim and Chris are extremely personable and very communicative about all details.   This won't be the last time they come to our rescue.

**Comment from Home by Tim + Chris:**

> It was so great helping you guys figure out your dilemma and to help update your interior.   As always a pleasure to work with you and we'll look forward to the next project.  I hope the new fence is keeping the kids corralled

**★★★★★ — Catherine Kiernan, Oct. 2017**

> I hired Home by Tim + Chris to re-do my kitchen, bathroom, and decorating.  The project was divided into phases and they just finished phase 1.  I couldn’t be happier and can’t wait for the next phase to be completed!  Tim and Chris have impeccable taste, ceaseless skills and resources, and are perfectionists.  They collaborate with clients so the end result is completely reflective of your personal style.  From the necessary infrastructure issues to dressing my bed, they did an amazing job.

**Comment from Home by Tim + Chris:**

> We're waiting on the kitchen cabinets and we can't wait to finish the interior.  We're very happy with the results and it was great fun shopping with you picking out all the finishing pieces.  You pushed us on a couple things and the results couldn't have been better.

**★★★★★ — Marco Fiola, Oct. 2017**

> Tim and Chris remodeled our main bathroom last year, and we could not be happier with the result. We had a typical 1940s bathroom, with a single sink, and virtually unusable bathtub. They brought our bathroom into the 21st century, with heated floor, a full-size tub and a double vanity. Other contractors had told us it could not be done, but Chris and Tim worked their magic, all within the budget they quoted us. Love, love, love their work.

**Comment from Home by Tim + Chris:**

> Thanks Marco.  It wasn't easy figuring out how to make it all work, but we managed to get it all in.  Glad to hear it's loved.

**★★★★★ — Karen Hepburn, Oct. 2017**

> Tim and Chris managed us through a whole main floor remodel in 2016.  Our home is a 40+ year old detached, and was "DATED"!!!  The greatest asset that Tim & Chris brought to our re-model was vision.  Living in the space, we found it really hard to envision a different layout, but they were able to guide us into seeing our space in a whole new way.  From layout design to materials selection, Tim & Chris took us through every step - and even helped us negotiate within our family to make sure everybody's needs were incorporated into our new space.  We've been living in the space for almost a year post-renovation, and still love it!  I love to bring people into my home and watch them explore this re-imagined space.  I had stopped having dinner parties in my home, because I really did not like my space, but now I love to have people in to share this beautiful space with them.

**Comment from Home by Tim + Chris:**

> It was fun making sure everyone was heard - your family was great to work with!  I hope the family room gets used as much as we guessed it would.  When the weather cools, I certainly do imagine everyone snuggling in on that great couch in front of the fire.  The family room is one of our favorite rooms we've designed..  It's great to hear that you're using your house again, it's a pretty spectacular place to entertain.
