A close friend told us we should consider calling CRS Granite Ltd first. I called the office on Monday and spoke to Pam who set up an appointment for the owned Doug Jones to attend at our residence on Saturday. > When Doug attended, for an in home evaluation, he brought; counter top, cupboard door and door handle samples so we could choose what we wanted. During our first meeting we noted that Doug projected honesty, integrity, professionalism and knowledge. > A few days later we received Doug's written quote which we found to be reasonable. > We subsequently hired Doug's company to remodel our kitchen. Doug and his employees worked together to accomplish a professional transformation of our kitchen. > The work was done in a reasonable time span without a lot of inconvenience on our part. We would not hesitate to recommend CRS Granite Ltd to anyone who may be planning a house renovation of any kind. Give their office a call you will be glad you did. > Thanks Doug, we love our new kitchen. > Marilyn & Jon Dargie **★★★★★ — HU-568631859, Nov. 2020** > I had been wanting to update my kitchen for several years and was finally ready to move forward. I had a wonderful designer, Sandi, who listened to my concerns, my ideas and helped the vision translate into reality. I also needed lots of support along the way and I got it. Doug and his team turned these ideas into a well oiled plan that kept to budget, kept to schedule but was flexible enough to deal with unexpected glitches along the way. I LOVE the final product. **Comment from CRS Renovation & Design:** > Thank you for your kind words! We enjoyed working with you on your kitchen renovation. All of us at CRS appreciate you taking the time to write about your experience, as we take great pride in the quality of our workmanship and appreciate the feedback. Hope you enjoy your gorgeous kitchen! **★★★★★ — Trang Huynh, Nov. 2019** > We had our kitchen's cabinet refacing with CRS this year. Beside the refacing of the cabinet, new quartz countertop, new sink and faucet had also installed. Doug and his team had done exceptional job with our kitchen. I am appreciate Doug's advice throughout the project and kept the renovation ran smoothly and on time. Thank you Doug and Derek. **Comment from CRS Renovation & Design:** > Thank you for your kind words Trang! We enjoyed working with you on your kitchen renovation. All of us at CRS appreciate you taking the time to write about your experience, as we take great pride in the quality of our workmanship and appreciate the feedback. Hope you enjoy your beautiful new space! **★★★★★ — Jared Bennett, Oct. 2018** > CRS was a pleasure to work with. Not only due to the quality of the finished product (which was outstanding), but because the attentiveness of the design and installation team throughout the process. Their experience was evident in the design suggestions and attention to small details. We really appreciated Doug's suggestions, which ultimately resulted in something much better than what we had initially envisioned. **Comment from CRS Renovation & Design:** > Thank you for your kind words Jared. All of us at CRS enjoyed working with you on your kitchen renovation. We hope you enjoy your beautiful new countertops, they are beautiful and the waterfall edge is stunning! **★★★★★ — Diana Heaney, April 2018** > We had a great experience with CRS! Finishing our basement was something we've wanted to do since we purchased the house and we found CRS working on another house in our neighborhood. The crew and staff were great, they answered our questions, made suggestions for materials and even improved the plans we initially had to close in the furnace area. > > Our basement was unfinished when we started, with a bit of work done by the previous owners - which CRS fixed and improved. We wanted to keep the open space of the main area but decided to close off the furnace and water heater, so we created a utility room. Everything else was framed and drywalled, with doors added to separate the laundry room and workshop. A new door was also installed for the cold cellar. We can often have a number of computers running in the basement so we made sure to install additional outlets and pot lights so CRS's electrician increased our power by installing a "pony" box to extend our existing electrical box. Our stairs and landing also got a makeover, CRS added proper support for the landing and closed off the back of the stairs. The only thing not taken care of was around the windows - CRS asked about finishing the window boxes but we opted not to have them finished as we are hoping to replace the windows relatively soon, so CRS left them unfinished at our request. > > There was a bit of a hiccup in the timeline of our renovation as we decided to install a backwater valve in our sewer pipe - something that can only be done from a plumber selected by the city, for us to be eligible for a rebate - as well as repair work to the pipe itself as damage had been caused by our tree roots. The plumber that we choose from a list of about 5 options (city selected) was not very good and caused delays. CRS was unable to continue parts of the renovation because of this plumbing company until they were done, but once those issues were taken care of, CRS was back at it completing the job. > > The work CRS did was fantastic, they listened to what we wanted and they delivered! We love our new basement! **Comment from CRS Renovation & Design:** > Thank you for your kind words Diana! We enjoyed working with you on your basement renovation. All of us at CRS appreciate when customers take the time to write about their experience, as we take great pride in the quality of our workmanship and appreciate the feedback. Hope you enjoy your beautiful new space! **★★★★ — Teresa Balardo, Feb. 2018** > We were very happy with the whole renovation. > The team was very knowledgeable and professional. All the work was done on schedule and finished when it was said it would be. > The days activities were posted where you could see what was done that day. > Sandra , from the design team was very helpful with her experience and knowledge of a kitchen layout, etc. **Comment from CRS Renovation & Design:** > Thank you for your kind words Teresa. All of us at CRS enjoyed working with you on your kitchen renovation. What a transformation! We hope you enjoy your beautiful new kitchen as much as we enjoyed creating it. > > Best Regards, > CRS **★★★★★ — Stephen Law, Dec. 2017** > Houzz about the right people for the right job. My wife and I chose CRS after checking on the competition and we went with them for the two jobs. Doug was great and Diana was a great project manager, keeping us informed along each step of the way. > > Doug worked with us to stay on budget and Diana worked with us in the design studio to pick the right materials. > > I promise you that you will not find a better team to work with. **Comment from CRS Renovation & Design:** > Houzz about that wonderful review! Thank you Steve for your kind words. All of us at CRS enjoyed working on your kitchen projects with you and your wife! We love how your kitchen turned out. > > > Cheers, > CRS Granite **★★★★★ — Don Wessel, May 2017** > CRS Granite was very professional throughout the whole process of our kitchen renovation from planning to cleaning up afterwards. The crew were polite and helpful in explaining what was happening at every step of way. The price was very reasonable considering the amount of work involved in renovating the kitchen of a 100+ year old home. **★★★★★ — Debbie Stuart, May 2017** > I hired CRS to renovate my upstairs bathroom and they did a superb job! They replaced my tub, toilet, re-tiled the shower walls and floor. They also installed all new baseboards, vanity, mirror and added accent lighting. Their team were professional and knowledgeable. The job was done to my expectations and was done quickly so it was functional without a lot of disruption. I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend CRS and I will be calling them back to do my basement. **Comment from CRS Renovation & Design:** > Thank you for your kind words. All of us at CRS enjoyed working on your bathroom project and we are excited to start on your basement renovation when you are ready. Again, thank you for your business. Regards, Doug Jones, President of CRS **★★★★★ — Juliette G, May 2017** > CRS renovated my bathroom last year and did a great job. I was happy with the company from start to finish -- the office staff was friendly and helpful, our design consultant was knowledgeable and assisted us in making the right decisions for what we needed and the crew was experienced, they were always happy to answer all our questions regarding our reno...they even wore company t-shirts which was an added level of professionalism that's hard to find elsewhere. I would definitely recommend CRS. ## Selected projects - [Gourmet Kitchen with Butler Pantry & Writing Desk](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gourmet-kitchen-with-butler-pantry-and-writing-desk-pj-vj~2980518) - Location: Hamilton, ON - Photos: 33 - Description: This kitchen renovation created the ultimate space to cook.

We like the Leonia Silver porcelain floor tile. I'd like to see pictures of those, that have used the same tile on shower walls, as you did on the bath floor. Any other insight and/or, thoughts? A: It can definitely work. If you try our website's design visualizer, you can experiment with it yourself: https://crsreno.ca/bathroom-visualizer/ Here is an example: **Q: Kitchen ideas** *(in Design Dilemma)* I need ideas to update my kitchen. A: Countertops and tile backsplash are a good place to start, but cabinet refacing may also be an option. It looks like there is much that can be done, but it all depends on your budget. If you visit www.crsreno.ca you can see the some work that may be inspirational to your project. **Q: Advice on how to save on counter tops?** *(in Design Dilemma)* I'm not interested in wood, but there must be ways to save a few bucks on granite/marble/ etc counter tops? use two slabs instead of one long piece or ? Any advice out there? A: One way can be use what is called "SmartStone", which is one of CRS' specialties. It is a thin slab of natural granite, reinforced with fibre glass backing. It allows the ability to be placed over an existing countertop. It is lower cost than a thicker traditional granite and can be installed in less than a day. **Q: Looking for a tile vendor in the GTA (Ontario, Canada)** *(in Design Dilemma)* That sells herringbone quartz stone tile for a backsplash. A: If you are still looking for help with this project, we encourage you to reach out to us for assistance as this is one of our many areas of expertise.
