A&R Renovations INC.

The renovation was actually an enjoyable experience, always told in advance what to expect. Company takes pride in it's workmanship, and never a problem if midway, we needed to make small changes. Always answered our questions and actually encouraged to ask. Very punctual, cleaned up at the end of each day. I was impressed, you can tell they like what they do and came within budget-what more can I say. A&R Renovations are my "go- to-contractor".

I have worked with other contractors in the past. Alex is the only contractor to work for me more than once. First in 2012 when he put in a basement, and now in 2016 completely renovating our ground floor. No doubt we will again get other quotes in 2020 (hopefully sooner) and again find Alex to be very competitive. But beyond competitive, Alex is utterly trustworthy, extremely knowledgeable and executes a project excellently. What he says when he sees a potential job vs what other contractors say when they see the same potential job is very different. No garbage, no hyperbole, and interesting insights and observations that other contractors just don't make. Alex is also very clear in agreeing Change Order costs before proceeding. He also keeps the job site very tidy (as tidy as a construction site can get!) - again, this is very instructive as to his professionalism and commitment to keeping the client happy. To summarize, Alex is on time (really), on budget (really) and on the whole good to deal with (really). No large renovation is easy. There are always twists and turns and bad surprises when things get uncovered. That is a reality. But Alex will do what he can to minimize your blood pressure rising.

Going with Alex / A&R Renovations was an easy choice after interviewing several different contractors. We started with just the bathroom and 2 bedrooms downstairs as a trial, and I quickly expanded the scope to include the remaining 2 levels in the house based on his work. The major reasons for my strong recommendation are: - Good documentation - Prompt communication and follow-up when decisions are needed - Always available for advice / consultation - Willing to work with your vision and budget - Very clean / tidy - Quick resolution of any issues Highest recommendation!
