The Kitchen Loft

I am in love with my new kitchen, it is so beautifully designed and super functional for my family. Peter and his crew were excellent to work with, they listened to what I was envisioning and designed something beyond my wildest dreams!! I will definitely be recommending these guys to friends!! Thanks a bunch guys!!

COGS and SWO were absolutely amazing to work with. Love my new kitchen and bathroom!! The team has years of experience, knowledge, expertise and are with you every step of the way from design to completion. I was a little overwhelmed with the thought of what was involved in a full renovation of our kitchen and bathroom at the same time. That quickly disappeared and they made the entire process enjoyable! They were there for every question, email and text….and I had a lot. Thank you Jerome, Peter, John, Jeremy and George. It was a lot of fun and a pleasure working with you! I would highly recommend and will be contacting SWO for any future projects.

Peter de Gelder came to me on the recommendation of a neighbour and friend. I liked and trusted him immediately. So much so I was able to comfortably go on five weeks vacation and leave him and his team to it. In the beginning I had a general idea of the renovations I wanted for my kitchen and living area but needed help with the specifics. I loved his designs, and his assistance with all my selections was invaluable. He explained everything precisely and clearly. I valued his suggestions and recommendations and couldn’t be more delighted with the finished product. He accepted my changing mind as the project progressed with patience and made the changes without hesitation. The entire team were pleasant, professional, considerate, and reliable. They showed up when they said they would, cleaned up after each stage and completed the job according to the schedule. My new kitchen is everything I wanted and more. Overall an absolute A1 experience.

We worked with COGS Design and SWO Build on a large kitchen, main floor, lower level and upstairs redesign and renovation. The team did an outstanding job! The combination of design, build and decorating consultation made for a seamless project. We are delighted with the results and plan to use the team on a final, smaller project in the coming months.

It was a pleasure working with Peter on a renovation project for our home that involved moving the kitchen from the front of the home to the back of the home. We were impressed with Peter's design and his work ethic to get us a great price.

We recently had Peter over to talk to us about uplifting our kitchen. I had no idea what to expect. I was excited to see the plans and quite frankly was blown away with his design. We moved forward with his vision tweaking it along the way and I can honestly say.....I have a dream kitchen...something I never dreamed I would ever have! Peter is talented....caring...and respective of the home owners wishes! I would gladly refer Peter with trust and confidence that what he gave us....he would offer to you. I love cooking . Now I love cooking in my new kitchen! Thank you Peter! It was a wonderful journey! Angie Wilson

Peter was great to work with. The kitchen design was beautiful and maximized storage and efficiency in my small kitchen. Even in the midst of the pandemic Peter kept the project on time and on budget allowing me to have a hands off approach. Love my new kitchen. Thanks Peter!

Peter DeGelder made my kitchen dreams come true! Peter took the time to listen to what I wanted for my space. He made it exactly what I wanted only better than I could have ever imagined. Peter works hard to ensure that the companies supplying services are very professional and talented humans. Building a new room takes so much time and dedication. With my busy life, and lack of experience, I couldn't imagine accomplishing this on my own. Peter dedicated so much time to my project. It is evident that he has decades of experience. It was a blessing to have Peter create exactly what I needed in my life and in my home

Peter was a true professional throughout my bathroom renovation project. He was very responsive to my goals for the project by providing ideas, advice and access to appropriate resources to develop and carry out the plan. His attention to detail, and followup on all aspects of the project instilled confidence. He provided regular updates, and stopped by frequently to check on progress and problem-solve any issues that arose; he was always available and responsive to messages, questions or requests. Peter's quest to provide not only a high quality result, but also a positive renovation experience with as little stress as possible, were evident throughout the process. I am completely satisfied with both the outcome of my renovation, and with the journey to get it done; I would certainly engage the COGS group again for future projects.

I went to a few different kitchen designers with my dimensions and a rough idea of the layout I was looking for. Peter from The COGS Approach Group, was the only one who volunteered to come to my home to view the space and discuss the possibilities in person. Not only was his design the best option; it also came in within budget. On top of that, Peter was at our side as he walked us through the different steps of picking out the colour and style options of the cabinets, handles, counter tops, etc. We are very pleased with the final result of out kitchen design. Thank you Peter and The COGS Approach Group!

Excellent job, Easy to work with , clean and efficient. well worth doing the renovation of the kitchen. we enjoy sitting at the island eating breakfast.

Peter and the COGS team are the ultimate professionals. Peter is the perfect leader as he is super knowledgeable, but also extremely personable and fantastic to work with. He'll educate you every step of the way and make you feel comfortable about the process. I would defintely recommend him to all my friends and family for all their cabinetry needs. Thanks for being awesome Peter!

The COGS Approach Group have proven to be an invaluable service. I've been able to refer with confidence COGS to my valued clients so that they can utilize the comprehensive design work of COGS. With their consultation and 3D layouts, my clients have been able to focus on the potential in a property that they have recently purchased or are considering purchasing. Having the design options and budgeting parameters provides them with the roadmap to renovation success.

Hello I had a DYI bathroom/laundry room renovation planned but was stuck on the design as there was limited space. We met Peter at the London home show, and was impressed with his experience and price point for his services .Peter arrived at our house as planned with a contractor, took pictures and measurements and listened to what we wanted.(although we did not need a contractor for our project we found him to be honest and upfront). A week later we had 3D images of the room and they were perfect, Everything we envisioned was achieved, extra storage, folding table, shower etc. We will not change a thing. Here's hoping the rest of our project goes as smooth as the design stage.

We had delayed renovation for over 20 years, and were hesitant about changes, but Peter and the COGS team provided great service, design, and budget , giving us confidence to proceed. We love the finished product!

I hired COGS to do some concept drawings for a real estate listing I was selling. It was very dated and in need of major renovations so we used the design and drawings to help market the property. Potential buyers loved seeing some design ideas that helped them see the potential of the property. COGS had a very quick turnaround time and also was open to my input as well!

Peter listened carefully to our kitchen reno needs and put together a plan that made sense and was respectful of our overall budget. We look forward to implementing the design.

We are pleased with Cogs what we have accomplished in the design of our kitchen. They listened to what we wanted and needed. I would of liked a list of where our money was being spent on. But all in all Peter is great!! They haven't started yet but soon. His team I know will make us happy.

Peter (COGS) was great to work with from day 1. We needed to completely gut and rebuild our kitchen as well as take down a wall and Peter created a beautiful design that was exactly what we wanted in just a couple days. Once we picked our design he was a real asset in our discussions with and assessment of local builders. We ended up with a price within budget for the kitchen of our dreams! I recommend COGS for any kitchen project, you will not be disappointed.

Pete was a joy to work for. I was a subcontractor installing appliances and cabinets. My work orders and products/materials were always ready to go when I arrived. He was able to respond quickly by phone to questions and difficulties at job sites to prevent delays. Pete was well-versed in the product lines he carried and provided ample information for me to conduct my work. I never heard 'not my job/problem'....if I needed an extra pair of hands, Pete was ready to pitch in. I would not hesitate to work for Peter DeGelder again!

I have known Peter for quite some time now and his style and designs are both creative and practical. He listens to the clients needs and makes the vision come to life. I would definitely recommend Peter for your next kitchen.

Kitchen remodel from cabinetry to granite countertop and below mount sink was done on time and to budget. Peter was great in matching other companies and coming in on time and to our budget. The kitchen remodel was done on time and was very professional. We signed the contract on June 12th and had our kitchen in by August 8th. Peter held the cabinetry until our contractor completed the drywall and painting without holding fees. His ability to work with us to achieve our goal in the look we wanted, made an impression on us and any family and friend who have come over to enjoy our new look. I would not hesitate to recommend Peter for any kitchen remodels.
