Renovation Jeannie

We initially used Penny to renovate our bathroom (it needed to be completely gutted). She did such a great job, we hired her to do our kitchen the following year. Penny is a great communicator-we always knew what was happening in our renovation. We live in an older house that had been renovated by people before us so there were a few surprises along the way -Penny made sure to explain to us what needed to be done and why. She was upfront about cost as well. She showed up when she said she was going to show up, left the work site clean at the end of the day and was sensitive to our timelines. She made sure that things were done right! We are hoping to renovate our basement next and we will definitely be using Penny again. We would highly recommend her to anyone else looking to have work done on their home (and in fact have done so). I love my new kitchen and bathroom!

I've worked with Renovation Jeannie on a couple of different home renovation projects, the most recent and most significant was two bathroom remodels. The first bathroom was a removal of the existing tub and flooring, with installation of new soaker tub, fixtures, and tiled floor and bathtub walls. The second bathroom was a removal of an existing shower surround and flooring, with installation of custom glass shower, pebbled shower floor, new fixtures and tiled floor and shower walls. I could not be happier with the renovation process and the final product. What I appreciate most about working with Penny is her ability to communicate and explain the renovation job to someone that is not an expert in the field. She takes a professional and customer-oriented approach in all phases of the project that is uncommon in other trade professionals. One of the many value-added services that she provided in the project was an extensive knowledge and connections to local suppliers that she had worked with before. She was able to communicate my vision for the project to the supplier, along with dimensions and other aspects unique to my home. This significantly reduced the time spent purchasing (and returning) materials only to find out that it did work for my situation. She also has numerous connections with other trades professionals required to complete the project, all of whom were equally as professional and up to her standards. She was also willing to work with trades professionals that I knew. Penny is very experienced in working in a finished home and understands how disruptive a major renovation project can be a every day life. She was incredibly considerate of my living area and contained the work to the project area. I would highly recommend Renovation Jeannie and certainly look to work with her again on future projects.

In October 2020 Renovation Jeannie was recommended to me by my plumbing contractor to tile around a new soaker tub for my bathroom. I needed a niche built in the wall for bottles of shampoo and conditioners and she made it a custom fit for my professional size of bottles. She really helped me make the decision as it is the time to make how you want it. And that was so true. The niche is beautiful. I can’t say enough how professional her work was and in a timely manner. Being it was a bathroom it was a bit imperative. I’m so happy to have had the opportunity to work with Penny as I have many more ideas in mind for Renovation Jeannie!

In March 2020 on the day that our province went into pandemic lockdown, Penny at Renovation Jeanie began demolition day on my home remodel. From the get-go, I was worried the job site might be shut down or aspects of the work might have to be delayed. Fortunately, Penny ran an exceptional site with all precautions and accommodations required to keep workers safe and the job going. From initial planning and costing, to demolition, to building, to coordinating sub-trades, to collaborating on design and problem solving, to final payment, Penny was good-humored, patient, and prepared for anything. As a female homeowner embarking on a daunting, virtually whole-house renovation, working with such a qualified female contractor was a relief and joy compared to previous encounters with tradespeople and contractors. I can't thank or recommend her enough to anyone considering work on their home. She and her team are to be commended always! Forget 5 stars...they're a 10/10!

We have had many Reno projects done by Penny - Renovation Jeannie. Her attention to the details, creativity, skill set, project planning and management are outstanding! In 2014 we did a patio conversion, 2016 our bathrooms went from outdated 1979 to bright, modern, clean, with a custom tile shower, and highly functional small spaces! Penny always made sure we were working within our budget but somehow getting all the things we wanted. She helped us with product selection when we needed it and brought in other speciality trades when we needed them to get the projects finished just right. Working in a high rise condo has its challenges and Renovation Jeannie found solutions to all of them. Highly recommend Renovation Jeannie for any Reno’s or updates to your home! We are currently working with Renovation Jeannie starting on our kitchen update 2021.
