I came into knowing them through the Greater Vancouver Homebuilders Association and also through meeting with their partnered associates. I rarely meet a contractor who has the integrity and regard for his clients the way Sandro does, but more so his level of hands on experience and knowledge of building and technical skill set. He is a a true craftsman and leads his team not by saying but by doing. He is an example of a true leader not only personally but professionally. Cheri is equally as kind and authentic in her communication with their clients. You feel like she has your best interests and concerns at heart and goes to great lengths to make you feel listened to and cared for. No stone goes unturned with the level of detail these two people take into account on every project. It's been a true pleasure serving them professionally and from a personal level have felt blessed to have met them. Thank you Cheri and Sandro for being such honest committed and caring people! > Sincerely, Erynn Johnson > Centerpoint1st Consulting > Tear Down/Rebuild Expert > Vancouver BC **★★★★★ — Gary Wong, June 2017** > Love his dedication to customer service and doing what's right for his customers. Very transparent and he's super hands on, never letting things fall through the crack! **★★★★★ — Aziz Walji, Dec. 2016** > Sandro and his team are the best people we have dealt with for the last 6 months or so as we undertook major renovations in our home's upper floor. From the design process to materials to the finished product - we have had no issues at all even with minor design, materials changes along the way. Sandro is a true professional and also fixed a few things on our main floor at very little cost. On budget and on time. We are very happy with the quality and craftsmanship of his team. We have some more work to do on the outside of our home and we will definitely use his company to do the work. Very highly motivated. 100% recommended. **★★★★★ — ADA - arata hatanaka design atelier, May 2016** > Sandro's craftsmanship and true dedication to customer are well beyond typical home builders. With over 30 years of experience and well seasoned team your project is guaranteed to be pleasant and successful. **★★★★★ — Lethologica, March 2016** > Sandro saved us from a fire hazard. > We weren't getting power to an outlet so we asked Abstract Homes and Renovations to help us and investigate. Turns out the homeowner before us neglected to do proper wiring and the wires were loose and sparking when Sandro went in to investigate. He went above and beyond in helping us and ensuring our safety. > We will not hesitate to ever call on Sandro for help. > Thank you! **★★★★★ — jimohsp, March 2016** > From its very outset,Sandro and Cheri are very professional,knowledgeable and honest.We did a complete renovation of our townhouse (from ceiling to ceiling, washroom, kitchen, bedrooms,laundry room, flooring, and the installation of appliances.) We totally left everything to Sandro because we trust him and he totally made sure that every project was done to specifications as discussed. > > The completion of the renovation was on time and the whole place was cleaned up and ready to move in.We inspected the place and are very happy with Sandro's supervision of the whole project. We definitely highly recommend Sandro to anyone who is looking for a honest, reliable contractor. **★★★★ — Christa, Dec. 2015** > Sandro did a great job of our bathtub and tile. The reno was completed in a neat and timely manner. **★★★★★ — Martin Knowles Photo/Media, Oct. 2015** > We've photographed several of Abstract's recent projects both before and after renovation. Sandro and Cheri are great to work with, and we've been continually impressed by their level of detail, sensitivity to clients' needs, quality of workmanship, and ability to keep to a tight schedule. **★★★★★ — RJS Stonetops Ltd., Oct. 2015** > I have had the pleasure of working with Sandro and Cheri from Abstract Homes on several of their builds. Their information is always clear and their builds are always well organized. I've seen Sandro go above and beyond for his clients time and time again and in the end always produces amazing quality. I'm always happy to send clients his way because I know they will not be disappointed. **★★★★★ — Janice McLarty, Sept. 2015** > Sandro is an amazing craftsman. There is nothing he can't do and does it all with perfection, on budget and on time. He manages the tradesmen on a tight timeline. Sandro ensures that the job site is kept as clean as possible, vacuums and also makes sure that all tools and equipment are put away properly each day. > > I hired ABSRACT HOMES & RENOVATIONS INC. to renovate my 25 year old kitchen. When it was finished, I could not believe the transformation. The wow factor was amazing. I would not hesitate to hire this company for any future home, building or renovations needs. > > Janice McLarty **★★★★★ — rugged, Sept. 2015** > Abstract Homes are truly passionate about homebuilding and are professionals in every respect of their business. I always enjoy working with the Abstract team. With such a great attitude, it's rewarding to work with them on their various projects. **★★★★★ — Jennifer Muzzin, Sept. 2015** > Sandro and Abstract Homes have given us our dream home. Actually it's better than our dream home since we couldn't have imagined how stunning the transformation would be. Sandro is everything you could ask for in a contractor and craftsman. Professionalism, integrity, top quality workmanship and extreme attention to detail (even the budget!) are what you can expect when you hire Abstract Homes. We're absolutely thrilled. **Comment from Abstract Homes and Renovations Inc:** > Thank you Jennifer and Stephen for the wonderful review. > Looking forward to seeing you move back in to your dream home! > And thanks for choosing and trusting Abstract Homes and Renovations. ## Selected projects - [WEST 15TH, VANCOUVER](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-15th-vancouver-pj-vj~5806321) - Location: Vancouver, BC - Photos: 21 - Description: Custom home in Point Grey - [East Vancouver](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/east-vancouver-pj-vj~659348) - Location: Vancouver, BC - Photos: 11 - Description: 2400 square foot Tuscan style home. 3 bedrooms, den, open concept kitchen/living room. - [West 24th](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-24th-pj-vj~1218789) - Location: Vancouver, BC - Photos: 7 - [Quebec Street Laneway](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/quebec-street-laneway-pj-vj~5986606) - Location: Vancouver, BC - Photos: 33 - Description: This gorgeous 2 bdrm 2 bathroom laneway has been our finest laneway build yet.
