We interviewed several highly regarded renovation companies about our ambitious plan for a whole home renovation. The scope of work included all 4 levels of our house. After considering our options, we decided to work with Dependable Renovations. From our consultations, it was clear they really understood our vision and had a realistic plan to carry out what would be a challenging renovation. > Throughout our project, Chris and his team were exceptional to work with. From the first day on site, we saw how passionate the team and trades were to create the quality spaces we envisioned. Our project managers ensured the trades were organized and delivering to the high standard Chris expected. As the project progressed, we had numerous change requests to materials or design and those were seamlessly addressed. We developed a high level of trust for what Dependable Renovations could accomplish for us. > Dependable Renovations transformed our house into the updated, comfortable, spacious, functional home we enjoy today. We are really appreciating the excellence in design and craftmanship we see throughout our home. Chris, his team, trades and suppliers did exceptional work and we are thrilled with the results. > In the time since our renovation, Chris will text or call to see that all is well. From the start Chris won our confidence and we are so glad we choose to work with Dependable Renovations. We would not hesitate to call on Chris in the future or recommend Dependable Renovations to family and friends. **★★★★★ — Kent Brockman, March 2023** > I recently worked with Dependable Renovations and specifically Chris Williams for a home renovation project, and I cannot recommend them enough. We have our dream kitchen and en-suite bathroom in our forever home thanks to them. Here are some of my thoughts in more detail: > > \- Expertise: Chris Williams, our contractor from Dependable Renovations, was extremely knowledgeable and experienced. He was great at understanding our vision for the project and helping us achieve it while staying within our budget and timeline. He went above and beyond to ensure that we were satisfied with the final result and offered helpful suggestions and alternatives to make the project even better. > > \- Communication: Chris was excellent at communicating with us throughout the entire process. He was always available to answer our questions and address any concerns we had. He kept us updated on the progress of the project and ensured that we were informed every step of the way. He was very responsive and easy to work with, which made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. Chris was great at pricing out options and helping us understand the tradeoffs of each so we could make the right call. > > \- Professionalism: Chris and his team were always punctual and respectful of our home. They took great care to clean up after themselves each day and ensure that there was minimal disruption to our daily routine. They showed a high level of professionalism in their interactions with us, and we felt confident that our project was in good hands. > > \- Recommendation: I would highly recommend Chris Williams and Dependable Renovations to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced contractor. Chris was great to work with, and I would 100% recommend him again. He is my first referral anytime a friend or family needs work done on their house. Out of the ten renovation companies we contacted in Calgary and the six we interviewed, Dependable Renovations and Chris Williams stood above the rest as the most engaged in helping us achieve what we wanted with our renovation while keeping an eye on the cost and logistic constraints. Chris's focus was always on making sure we were satisfied, and he completed our project with no delay in finish date. **Comment from Dependable Renovations Ltd:** > Kent, > > Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review. It was truly a pleasure working with you and Marissa on your project, and we are thrilled to hear that your experience with Dependable Renovations Ltd. was so positive. > > We value the importance of trust and transparency in renovations, and it's heartening to know that our efforts to keep you informed and involved throughout the project made a difference. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and hearing that we've been recommended by you to friends and family is the highest compliment we could receive. > > Thank you again for choosing Dependable Renovations Ltd. > > The Dependable Team! **★★★★★ — HU-130881406, July 2022** > Dependable Renovations helped us renovate our older home in Bridgeland, Calgary. > Our plan was to completely remodel the first floor, including the kitchen, dining room, living room, a bathroom, and three bedrooms. We changed the floorplan, replaced all of the flooring, and gutted the kitchen and bathroom. At the beginning of the project we discovered that we were expecting a baby, and asked Dependable to accelerate the schedule so that our home could be ready for the due date. Dependable really came through for us! The project was done on schedule and within budget. > Throughout the process, we felt supported by Chris, Michelle, and team. Communication was great, and of our concerns or requests were taken seriously, no matter how minor. > A few months later, we remain extremely happy with our home. Hiring Dependable was a good decision. **★★★★★ — Jason Montpetit, Dec. 2021** > When everything was said and done we were very happy with the job that Dependable did on our ensuite (total rebuild) and upstairs bathroom (update/lipstick renovation). The renovation occurred during the change in ownership. There were some issues with communication early through the transition. We addressed the issue with Dependable, they listened to us and made all the appropriate changes which is why we are giving them 5 stars. Michelle, went above and beyond for us, several times when we ran into supply change issues. Overall we had a very positive experience and would work with them again. **Comment from Dependable Renovations Ltd:** > Hi Jason, > > Thank you for taking the time to review us. It was a pleasure to work with you during your renovation and we appreciate your patience during the transition of ownership. We were incredibly pleased with how your renovation turned out and would relish the opportunity to work with you again in the future. > > I wish you all the best for the future and hope that you enjoy your newly renovated spaces. > > Kind regards, > Chris Williams **★★★★★ — HU-726154125, May 2021** > Dependable Renovations built an addition (master suite) onto my bungalow last year. I had been looking into make the footprint of my house larger for some time. We had met with a few different people/companies and nothing seemed to work or they were unwilling to provide me with options that suited my goal. Dependable Renovations worked with me and recommended we bring in an architect to provide the vision and drawings that we needed to help us understand what an addition to our house could look like, this was well worth it. > Dependable’s staff and sub-contractors were great throughout the build. Construction started at the beginning of March 2020, just as the pandemic started. They continually adapted and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the process. > Along the way we requested and made changes and they always accommodated and incorporated them. The renovations included adding around another 400 sq ft onto our current bungalow, including a master bedroom, walk-in closet and 3-piece bathroom. In order to make this addition seem seamless there was a new roof, siding, eaves, and concrete work done around the exterior of the property as well as adding on solar panels. The interior changes were even greater, including upgrades to the furnace, plumbing, electrical, matches to flooring etc.. Today, we have a beautiful home and new room that has always looked like it belonged! > I have had many other renovations done over the years, and much smaller in scope but this major renovation by Dependable was actually the best by far. > Thank you to everyone at Dependable Renovations, (Barry, Lisa, and your team) it was a pleasure working with everyone. We are so pleased with the results and would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone else looking to do renovations. **★★★★★ — penelopefr, March 2021** > Dependable Renovations did a bathroom renovation for us this winter and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It was a bathroom that was sorely in need of not only a facelift: it needed plumbing and major re-wiring work that involved the attic, hallway and stairwell. It’s the only full bathroom in our home so time and flexibility were of the essence. Barry told us it would take three weeks. It took exactly three weeks. The crew members were considerate (our house is small), friendly, knowledgeable and skilled and the transformation from shabby and worn-out to absolutely beautiful was almost a shock because I didn’t visualize it would be that much of a beautiful transformation. I was reluctant to let anyone use the bathroom because I wanted to keep admiring it in its pristine state. Fortunately, the daily upkeep is very easy. > Kudos to the entire crew and a special thank you to Lisa for keeping us on track, keeping us on budget, apprising us first of any potential budget changes and helping us make decisions when we were undecided or in need of an objective view point. Regardless of the size of the renovation, small like ours or a major renovation like our friends (who referred us to Barry and Lisa) had them do, our opinion is that Dependable Renovations is a five-star company at every stage of the process, regardless of the size. I can’t wait until we’re ready to do the kitchen. Dependable Renovations is permanently on our speed dial. Thank you Lisa, Barry and crew. > Penelope **Comment from Dependable Renovations Ltd:** > Thank you so much for your kind words, Penny! > > You were an absolute treat to work with - I so enjoyed our interactions, and continue to smile every time I see a text from you. :) I hope you love using your beautiful new bathroom for many years to come, and thank you for the recent referral as well. A happy customer is our greatest form of advertising. > > All the very best, > Lisa **★★★★★ — Norma W, Dec. 2020** > We had the pleasure of Dependable Renovations do a kitchen renovation for us and we could not have wished for a better experience. We decided to have a bearing wall taken out between our old kitchen and dining room and combine the two into a large kitchen. Barry and Lisa made the daunting process of a large renovation seamless and we did not experience any of the stress that we thought would lay ahead of us. They were very thorough and their suggestions helped us identify what we wanted to achieve and they were so patient with our endless questions and modifications. Once the project was underway they were very hands-on to ensure all of the details were looked after and the sub-trades they chose were excellent in both quality work, approachability and professionalism. Their attention to detail was top notch and they were most accommodating with any change orders we had. Not once did we feel that our evolving and changing requests and decisions were an inconvenience for Barry and Lisa; they handled them all in stride with the utmost professionalism. > > There are renovators that have all the technical skills and then there are renovators like Barry and Lisa who not only have the technical skills but also have amazing hearts for people and their home renovation dreams. They were more than renovators; they genuinely cared about us and our family and we have since kept in touch with them after the completion of the project. We cannot say enough about Barry and Lisa. **Comment from Dependable Renovations Ltd:** > Hi Bill & Norma, > > Where do we begin to respond to review like this! Your words are so kind, and we can’t tell you how much we appreciate your encouragement and continual support. Three years later your kitchen looks just as amazing as the day it was finished, and sitting down for a chat with you is like catching up with old friends. :) > > You are such amazing people, we thoroughly enjoyed the process of working with you on your project, and even more than this we appreciate the friendship that has developed because of it. > > We look forward to keeping in touch and we love seeing that beautiful kitchen being put to such great use! :) > > All the best, > Barry and Lisa **★★★★★ — HU-721848912, Nov. 2020** > We have recently completed a whole home renovation of our 1960s bungalow with Dependable Renovations. The electrical, plumbing, several walls, kitchen and 3 bathrooms were completely renovated without issue. Lisa, Barry and all of the trades were professional and a pleasure to work with and have in our new, old home. Communication was timely and efficient. The Reno started and ended as planned. I would recommend Dependable Renovations for any renovation plan. **Comment from Dependable Renovations Ltd:** > Hi Dave & Lynn, > > Thank you so much for your kind words! You were both such a pleasure to work with throughout the project, and made the process easy from start to finish. > > Even with the work happening throughout Covid, we’re so happy that everything completed on time and as planned. Wishing you many years of enjoyment in your new/old house. :) > > All the Best, > Barry & Lisa **★★★★★ — Stephanie T, Nov. 2020** > Barry, Lisa, and the Dependable Team were wonderful to work with. From start to finish, communication was clear, work was on schedule and completed to a high standard. We really appreciated their technical and design guidance along the way too. We couldn’t be more happy with how our main floor renovation turned out. Highly recommend. Thanks again Barry and Lisa! **Comment from Dependable Renovations Ltd:** > Thanks so much, Stephanie! > > We thoroughly enjoyed working with you guys as well; you were wonderful to communicate with while you were out of town, and your clear decisiveness made it easy to do the technical and interior design. ;) > > We're so happy with how things turned out, and glad to hear you've been using the new kitchen already! Look forward to coming in for some professional 'After' shots soon! > > All the Best, > Barry & Lisa **★★★★★ — L Mulder, April 2020** > We are so pleased with our project, and the level of knowledge and professionalism of Barry, Lisa and all their tradespeople. > > From the first meeting we felt at ease with them! The project began on time, and they were ready for us to move back in on the date promised. We were kept fully informed throughout the duration of the project by both Barry & Jim...and the BuilderTrend app they utilize was an excellent tool to make sure we could see in real-time what stage our project was at. > > We can’t say enough good things about Dependable Renovations. They are an amazing team with top-notch qualified trades. Thank you Barry and Lisa! **Comment from Dependable Renovations Ltd:** > Thanks so much for your kind words, Laura!! > > We're so happy we were able to help you resolve the 'renovation nightmare' that had happened previously. So glad you're able to totally enjoy your beautiful home now. :) > > We thoroughly enjoyed working with you and look forward to staying in touch! > > All the best, > Barry & Lisa **★★★ — Alex S, Dec. 2019** > We have done a recent bathroom and office remodel with Dependable Renovations. This is our second project with them, the first one being a kitchen / bathroom / powder room reno done several years ago. > > Prospective clients should know that, since July 2021, Dependable Renovations is under new ownership. We were not aware of the upcoming change in ownership when we gave Dependable Renovations our most recent contract. The transfer in ownership happened about a month into our project. > > We were very pleased with our first experience with Dependable Renovations in 2019. What stood out was the fact that everything exceptionally well managed : deadlines were respected, the trades knew the scope of work, and the owners were very involved and in constant communication with us and with the trades. Essentially, during our first experience with Dependable Renovations, we did not have to worry about a thing : the work was done well, on time, and within budget. > > We had a vastly different experience this time. To be fair, the new owner had big shoes to fill. We also acknowledge that inheriting an existing project with existing clients must have been challenging. However, even though the official ownership transfer happened about a month into our remodel, Chris (the new owner) had been around since the start, initially introduced to us as a manager, and therefore had ample time to familiarize himself with the details of our project. > > Things started falling apart quickly after the change in ownership. What was supposed to be a 10 week project ended up taking 8 months to complete. Some of the delays were due to supply chain shortages (therefore out of anyone’s control), and we are in no way blaming these delays on Dependable Renovations. But there were also substantial delays that occurred due to poor planning, and damages that required repairs. Some of the problems that we encountered included : lack of communication, a high turnover in project management, and little oversight from the new owner (who remained uninvolved throughout our project). > > The trades who worked on our house did a great job, and we would hire them independently in a heartbeat. But the project was poorly managed after the change in ownership. Essentially, for a big portion of our project, we could not trust that things would run smoothly!!! Because of that we had to be present on site daily, confirm that the trades had actually been booked, check in with the trades to make sure that the entire scope of work had been appropriately communicated to them, and outsource solutions to encountered problems ourselves. Basically, after the change in ownership we had to keep track of every single detail to ensure that things actually kept progressing. Unfortunately, this is not what we signed up for when we hired a company who charges \>20% management fees. > > Ultimately, we want to be fair in our review. The management was not up to the standard that we experienced during our prior renos with Dependable. However, we are still giving them a 3-star review because there seemed to be some good will. Towards the end of our project, after numerous complaints, Jim was brought in as our new project manager, and things improved substantially. Jim (who has been with Dependable for several years) was reliable and organized and made sure that the job got done. Dependable did fix some of the mistakes and all the damages that they caused at their own cost, and the renovations ended up being completed adequately. > > I am hoping that the problems we encountered were due to lack of experience, and that things like communication, owner involvement, and scheduling will improve over time. However, after this experience, we will not be hiring Dependable for any of our remaining renovations, and can no longer recommend them to others. **Comment from Dependable Renovations Ltd:** > Hi Alex > > It was a pleasure to work with you and I do hope that the challenges we faced do not dull you enjoyment of you new space. > > With regards to your review I think it is balanced and clearly highlights two primary issues we faced. The first being the Covid impacted supply chain which is now improving. The second being the project manager we assigned to your project, who we have had to let go. I am pleased that Jim was able to bring things back on track and towards the standard I am demanding our my team. I also appreciate you noting that we rectified and paid for the issues my initial project manager caused. > > I am sorry to hear you do not intend to use us again. However if you were willing to come back to us, I think you would have a much better experience. > > I wish you all the best. > Kind regards > Chris **★★★★ — Kasia Lenz, Dec. 2019** > We had dependable design and carry out a front addition on our house, new siding, driveway and other upgrades like new gutters, fascia etc. The quality of the craftsmanship that their contractors delivered was excellent and Dependable did a great job ensuring when something wasn't perfect that it would be fixed. We're very happy with the work that was done and can't imagine how we were living without our spacious and beautiful front entrance before. > The reason we give 4 stars and not 5 is that the project completion dragged on for 2 months and the final stucco painting wasn't done before the temperatures dropped, hence will have to be delayed until spring. Not a huge problem but given we live in Calgary this was a foreseeable obstacle. > Nonetheless we are happy and grateful. **Comment from Dependable Renovations Ltd:** > Hey Kasia, > > Thanks for your candid comments - I'm so sorry this happened on your project. There was a delay in materials that unfortunately bumped our exterior completion date and we sincerely apologize for this. We know this can be frustrating and we understand that it dampened the excitement of the overall project because the exterior isn't 100% finished. > > We're happy that you're pleased with the result of the project overall; the before & after really is stunning - you wouldn't even know it was the same house! The new addition looks fabulous and I'm sure you'll enjoy it for years to come. > > Thanks for choosing to work with us on your project, we know you had interviewed a number of contractors and we appreciate you placing your trust in us. We'll be in touch as soon as the weather is stable enough to paint the remaining stucco, but everything else is complete as you mentioned. > > All the best & we'll connect soon! > Barry & Lisa ## Selected projects - [Awards & Affiliations](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/awards-and-affiliations-pj-vj~2467669) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 9 - [NATIONAL AWARD WINNING Warm & Tranquil; Whole Home Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/national-award-winning-warm-and-tranquil-whole-home-renovation-pj-vj~5507100) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 24 - Description: This client family needed a larger, more functional home where they had plenty of space to entertain large groups of friends and family.

A: Hi ssanie, the tiles used were Centura Artison White, Glossy \#AR24464N and they were installed in a vertical stack pattern. Thanks. **Q: Very nice 5 panel doors** *(in Photo Questions)* Which company manufactures the 5 panel doors? A: These are from a supplier in Calgary Alberta called Regal Building Materials, but I expect they could be found elsewhere as well **Q: Very nice bar stools.** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you please share where these bar stools were purchased. Thanks A: I’m sorry I don’t know where they were purchased, the homeowner bought the furnishings on their own after the renovation was complete. Sorry! **Q: where did the desk/organization center come from?** *(in Photo Questions)* Where did you get the desk/cubby system? A: I believe both of those are from IKEA **Q: Sink and cabinet unit** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me what brand sink and base were used? Did this come as one unit? A: This project is over 5 years old and I wouldn’t think it’s of utmost importance to call a client to find out where they purchased it when it can be found in the places we recommended. Why comment on a post that’s 2 years old anyway? **Q: paint colors on this home** *(in Photo Questions)* Anyone know what colors were used? A: Hey Sue! The client used Behr Cherry Cola S130-7 for the main red and Night Mission N370-7 for the trim. Remember that paints will look different in various application and lighting. Best of luck!
