Kenorah Design + Build Ltd.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spectacular Whistler Condo Reno! Our old 1980s small Whistler condo was in dire need of a complete gut job. It felt impossible to find anyone willing to take on a small job in a remote location. We were absolutely thrilled to find Kenorah! They completely transformed our dated, pink 1980s condo into a modern, serene space. Despite the rising costs of goods and services, Rob and Leslie came up with creative solutions and diligently kept to our budget. More importantly, they handled all the paperwork and headaches with the strata and Whistler permits. Even with that bureaucracy, they still managed to keep us on our tight timeline! We were incredibly thankful for the weekly progress reports with photos. It also helped immensely that Rob was situated close to Whistler to keep a close eye on the daily progress. We highly recommend Kenorah for any renovation!

People told us it's difficult to be on time, on budget and on quality with renovations, but we got all 3 with Kenorah. It was a great experience working with the Kenorah team, from design to construction, and they were thoroughly professional. It's hard to say renos are ever fun, but it was a pleasure working with this team. Most importantly, Kenorah has been very responsive post project, jumping on any questions we may have or fix minor things up. This tells us they care about their reputation, and their clients, and that they are here doing business for the long term. Highly recommend the Kenorah's Renovation Avengers -- Robert Walker, Leslie Teague, Jessica Hartman, Alyanna Camaclang, and Michael Payneter!!

We highly recommend. We just completed a multi month, large renovation. It was a very smooth process with no surprises or hassles, and we are very happy with the outcome. A very professional and responsive team who take pride in their top quality.

We recently completed an extensive energy renovation on our 50-year-old Burnaby home. Although any major renovation involves disruption, thanks to the Kenorah team it was far less stressful than expected. They took care of everything and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. This was a big, complicated project requiring a lot of coordination of various trades and suppliers. It was difficult to find a contractor with experience in all aspects of our project. Based on reviews, a personal recommendation and meetings with a handful of companies, we chose Kenorah Design + Build. Although they didn’t have all the experience we were looking for, they were keen to learn. They impressed us the most and, as it turns out, we made a good decision. Kenorah’s approach is methodical and thorough and their team is knowledgeable, personable and patient. That last quality is important when the client is making difficult decisions on a multitude of options. Leslie and Alyanna worked with us during the design stage and then turned us over for the most part to Mike, our project manager for the build stage. Mike was amazing! He’s the reason we didn’t get ulcers during construction. He was on site every day dealing with all the little issues that always come up. He dealt with the suppliers, engineers, subtrades, inspectors and city hall. He answered all our questions and assured us everything would be OK whenever we got anxious about something. And everything was OK. More than OK. We highly recommend Kenorah.

I had an extensive design/build renovation completed by Kenorah and am very happy with the results. A few things stand out for me. The communication was excellent with regular updates and prompt answers to any questions. The trades on the project were very good and any concerns/deficiencies were taken care of right away. Throughout the project things were done on schedule. If a trade was supposed to show up, they did, on time and completed what was promised. The quality of the work and finishing was done to a very high standard in fact at times small deficiencies were noticed and addressed by the team before I even picked up on them. To summarize, great people you can trust your home to and be very pleased with the result.

Kenorah Design Build did a phenomenal job on our kitchen renovation. Our Lead Designer Leslie immediately understood our vision, and the very first samples she brought us were exactly what we were looking for! Our Project Manager Rob was beyond amazing, his knowledge and high standards made the entire renovation a pleasure. Everyone was easy to work with, the site was cleaned up every day before the workers left. The attention to detail and the high standards were very impressive. Communication was excellent, and anything not up to Rob's standards was immediately addressed. There were no hidden costs and the project was done on time. I highly recommend Kenorah Design Build.

After hearing many horror stories of home renovations gone wrong, we cautiously proceeded down the path of interviewing design/build firms to renovate our home. Kenorah stood out from the rest as the only firm that would provide a fixed-fee rate for our project. We are happy that we chose Kenorah and are thrilled with the end result. Not only were they a nice team of people to work with, our 6-month renovation was completed both on-time and on-budget. From Vanessa who helped with our design to Paul who managed the project to Michael who provided day-to-day supervision, as well as the team of trades they brought in, we were impressed with their approach to project management as well as the quality of their work. We were given weekly progress updates, were kept apprised of any unexpected issues, and we were encouraged to ask even the most minor of questions. We would happily recommend Kenorah to anyone looking for a full-service firm for their home renovation project.

I was so pleased to have had Kenorah Design + Build oversee my renovation project. I could not have hoped for a more positive experience. Highly professional and extremely well-organized, the entire Kenorah team upholds high standards and quality workmanship. Rob, the project manager and Leslie, the design lead were exceptional, providing excellent communication throughout the entire process and were always so understanding and approachable. The timeline of the design/ building schedule was adhered to and impressively, the renovation was completed on budget and on the scheduled date! This company genuinely strives to provide the best possible service to their clients. Would highly recommend Kenorah Design + Build to anyone wanting to complete a renovation or build a new home.

Kenorah came highly recommended to us through multiple contacts in the real estate industry. We had a complex renovation in mind that required both interior and exterior work. We could not be happier with the end result and professional experience throughout the project. The design process paved the way for a smooth and predictable process and when surprises and delays arose, there was never a doubt that Kenorah's team of professionals was doing everything possible to deliver customer satisfaction. Special thanks goes to Mike Enns, our project manager, as his skill and experience were evident throughout the entire project. We highly recommend Kenorah to anyone desiring an amazing renovation and fantastic experience along the way. - Andrew and Kristin Bracewell

We are writing to share our positive experience with Kenorah Design/Build as the contractor for our recently completed dream home in Maple Ridge. After conducting a thorough search online, we chose Kenorah based on their intriguing website and awards, including Georgie Awards. Although we had connections to local builders through family and friends, we ultimately decided to work with Kenorah to avoid any potential complications in our relationships. Initially, we had some reservations about working with a relatively young team, but our concerns were quickly assuaged after our first meeting with the owner, Jake. His insightful proposals and knowledge of the industry impressed us, and we soon decided to move forward with the project by signing a design agreement. The Kenorah team was led by our project lead, Geoff, and design lead, Vanessa. They were outstanding throughout the entire process, from the initial demolition to the final product. Geoff was responsible for coordinating all trades, managing schedules, budgets, invoices, and communicating with the local municipality. His calmness, integrity, professionalism, and expertise were truly impressive. Vanessa was instrumental in the design aspects of the house, including layout, lighting, cabinets, flooring, appliances, and colors. Geoff and Vanessa kept us informed and involved throughout the entire process. Covid-19 presented some challenges, but Jake and Wes, the owners of Kenorah, convinced us to proceed with the project, as the costs of materials were favorable and trades were available. Our trust in their expertise was well-placed, as the end result was a stunning home that exceeded our expectations. The whole process was very satisfying, and we have now completed phase one of the project, which includes the house and landscaping. In conclusion, we have no hesitation in recommending Kenorah Design/Build for any home renovation or construction projects. Their professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail made the experience enjoyable, and the final product exceeded our expectations. Annette and Glenn Fox

In March Kenorah completed a renovation on our late '70's West Coast Contemporary house. They were great start to finish. Attentive, on schedule, and professional. We made a plan. They worked to the plan (and accomodated our additions) and the result was even better than we imagined at the beginning. It's not realistic to think that a big project will go perfectly every step of the way, and we experienced a bump or two, but they stepped up and quickly made everything right. That was what stood out the most to me. Thanks especially to Geoff and Leslie.

Kenorah did a kitchen reno in our New West condo. They did a great job with the design to open it up but keep the expense down by re-using existing cabinets and floors. Work was completed on time and with minimal disruption. Always cleaned up and protected the condo and building from dust, etc. Came in exactly on the quoted price - even didn't charge for a pipe that had to be moved. All in all a great job!
