General Contractors Near Whistler

“My wife and I renovated two bathrooms and the kitchen of our condo. Before opting for Knox, we asked for a detailed proposal and compared it to a proposal from another contractor. We’d also had favourable reviews of Kanox from two independent sources among our friends. And Kanox had worked well with a designer we admired. Kanox came out on top for being sensitive to our needs, realistic, and fair. My goal in this review is to describe the work Kanox did for us. Kanox followed our strata’s rules for hours of work, keeping public areas clean and unobstructed, noise level reasonable, parking as required, and so on. Inside our unit, Kanox used a small dumpster and large thick garbage bags to put debris until removal. This confined the waste material and dust. They also set up thick floor-to-ceiling plastic sheeting to protect the areas not being renovated. When material was removed (plaster, toilets, tubs, tile, cabinetry, metal fixtures), they laid down a protective surface in our strata’s hallway to guard against damage. They carted all material safely away. Their workers all wore proper Covid masks. Their workmen were punctual, and we were told what to expect and when. Our questions were promptly answered. What work did Kanox do? In a nutshell, we redid floors and cabinetry, retiled and repainted, changed the lighting and mirrors, replaced counters and sinks, removed a bath tub, extended a shower and changed shower-heads, installed grab bars, brightened the rooms, and more. The practical goal was to make our condo easier and safer to use. For aesthetics, we wanted to modernize. We used designers for advice and to provide essential measurements, but our key contract was with Knox. This means that Kanox and their insurer had global responsibility for the construction. Perhaps I’m obsessive, but I checked the contract’s details and the insurance behind Kanox, and I was happy with both. Kanox did a wonderful job. Contractors generally use their own employees for some tasks and independent trades for others. I was happy with both. We received great value for our money. My wife and I had our own ideas of what we wanted, but I invited Kanox to contribute thoughts based on their experience, and was glad that I did. I’d recommend Kanox to anyone. I rarely post reviews. My approach to the world is that nothing is perfect. We wanted particular light fixtures, and the supplier thought he had them in stock, but his inventory was wrong. We had to choose alternatives. Our slide-out kitchen cupboard also took a month longer to arrive than expected. This meant that the project was complete and cleaned up before the last two elements were supplied. On the subject of cleaning up, Kanox did a fabulous job of it. Kanox finished the project just about when planned, and was great in keeping us informed about what was happening, why, and when. They were willing to go the extra mile for us. We’ve already recommended them to a friend.”

“I highly recommend this contractor, completed the renovation project on time and within the quoted budget. A pleasure to have business with this contractor, easy to work with, provided great professional input to reduce the project budget. I really wish all my professional interactions are the same.”

“We have worked with Peak Ventures on four different projects, the first one in 2016 and the most recent project just finished mid-2019. These projects ranged from a small storage room modification, single bedroom remodeling, partial renovation of a rental property, to a major renovation of a 3 bedroom townhouse. Just the fact that we have been repeat customers provides an indication of our satisfaction with the quality of work delivered by the entire Peak Ventures team. All of them are a pleasure to work with. Most importantly, they deliver as promised when it comes to all aspects of the project. The full townhouse renovation finished late 2017 was a major project that took around one year from start to completion. We worked mostly with Gordon for overall project management and Jessica for the design. We were remote while planning and construction was ongoing, but that was never an issue thanks to David, Gordon and Jessica providing ongoing and excellent communication on status, issues and design choices to be made. The quality of work is outstanding and Peak Ventures would ensure that the work was completed with our desired finishes and materials. For example, when we had a request for a specific wood stain and finish, Jessica did not give up and provided as many updates and samples as needed to get things right and in line with our expectation. All without impacting budget and schedule. Overall, the quality of the entire renovation was outstanding and if any issues came up Peak Ventures would take ownership of the problem to get it resolved. "Quality" applies to all aspects of the project, including the work done by their own professionals (Jono did excellent work) as well as the trades they subcontracted. I highly recommend Peak Ventures for any project, regardless of project size. As mentioned, they were as professional for a single day project as they were for a year long project. Project planning is outstanding, setting clear expectations on schedule and providing full transparency on budget. In addition, it is a major advantage that Peak Ventures has their in-house interior design expert (Jessica) with outstanding guidance on aesthetics, functionality and access to the best materials and finishes within the set budget. If you are looking for a contractor to deliver high quality of work, with honesty, reliability, on-time completion and a great team to work with, I highly recommend you to give Peak Ventures a call!”
