### All 6 reviews

**★★★★★ — 925R Design Inc, April 2019**

> Smith & Sons is a great company to work with. The guys are straight to the point, listen to your ideas and clearly relay the information to me to do the Design. The level of detail Max and Scott go to in order to make sure the project is well thought through gives everyone peace of mind.  Looking forward to the next project with Smith & Sons!

**★★★★★ — Jason Lehoux, Jan. 2019**

> Awesome Service make sure to check these guys out for your next project. Called for a quote as we get ready to build and was very happy with the service we were provided by their company.

**★★★★★ — Francine Walterhouse, June 2018**

> My husband and I hired Scott Gammack of Smith & Sons as our general contractor for our kitchen renovation of 2 months duration and with its challenges.  Scott was excellent in every way, knowledge, work ethics, communication skills, reliability, application, courtesy. We recommend him highly.  It was a privilege and an excellent experience renovating our kitchen with Scott.

**★★★★★ — Matt Glen, March 2018**

> My wife and I wanted to totally remodel our home.  We were having a really hard time trying to found out what we wanted and what we could afford with our money.  We had multiple contractors over to discuss what we wanted to undertake and got answers and proposals all over the map.  We had quotes from $10,000 to $200,000 for the same project. It was actually kind of comical and extremely hard to process.  I was ready to sell our house and move on.  Then along came Max.  He was over at our house for a consultation within a few days of our first phone call, had a general idea of what we could get and the right idea of how to do it.  My wife is a teacher and has a really hard time getting time off work, so he would come over in the evenings, listen to what we wanted, give us great feedback and ideas right there and we decided on a general plan of how to go forward.  He had his architect draw plans, (significantly cheaper than quotes I had myself for an architect) then make changes to what we wanted when we saw it drawn up. Max then arranged getting our home surveyed and off we went to the city to get our permit.  Around the same time he had a business trip planned and had to leave town.  (I knew about this well in advance).  I emailed him almost everyday asking questions and he was always extremely quick to get back to me.  During his trip my wife and I had a total change of heart of how much of a project we wanted to take on and wanted to scale back the renovation significantly.   I sent off an email and received a response almost immediately telling us all was ok and what to do going forward.  When he returned from his trip he called me and we chatted for quite a while about what we should do.  He listened to me and had great advice about what part of our project would be the best for our lifestyle and getting the most value out of our home.  He told us not to worry about the addition we had planned because of the price, potential issues, and what kind of value we would actually get out of that major investment.  It was really refreshing for him to tell me the truth (even tho he is basically taking work and money right out of his own pocket) and let me know the facts and his opinion.  So now, thats what we are doing, we are going to concentrate the Reno to the interior (Kitchen, Bathroom, floors, etc.) to get us the best product for ourselves, our personal lifestyle and our property value.  I Really cannot say enough about my experience with Max, so far, (especially compared to all the other contractors I have met) and will definitely be hiring him and recommending him for any project I do now or do in the future.  He really is in this business because he loves it and not because he wants your money.  He proved that to me and I am sure he has/will prove that to many other home owners as well.

**★★★★★ — Brent Walterhouse, Nov. 2017**

> Smith & Sons built a garage extension for me as well as replacing the siding on the existing garage & shed. They did a very good job & were very professional. Unfortunately they did such a good job my wife wants them to do some work on the house.

**Comment from Smith & Sons Coldstream General Contractors:**

> Brent - Thanks so much for your review! Thrilled to hear we may be getting called back ;) haha.

**★★★★★ — Sandra Harder, Aug. 2017**

> Max Peterson (Smith & Sons Remodeling Experts), was called in to complete a couple of challenging renovation projects at Klub Kal. The first task was to design and build a sound barrier around a hydro transformer kiosk. I was so satisfied with this job that I brought Max back to take his best shot at another design and construction challenge. My next requests were to complete a few finishing touches at my lakeside cabin, as well as complete an unfinished, rustic outdoor bathroom. Max approached the partially completed bathroom with a creative mind and was able to bring my vision to reality. The jobs were completed on time, on budget, with quality workmanship and all the while maintaining the creative design intent. The renovation projects were finished beyond my expectations. Max was great to work with and I would recommend him for construction jobs in the future.

**Comment from Smith & Sons Coldstream General Contractors:**

> Thank you so much Sandra. So appreciative of your time in writing this - absolutely thrilled to know you're a happy camper with your new renovation! Many thanks. =)
