Kitchen Remodelers in Alberta

“Randy McCoy, Retrofit Designs did a major renovation to our home. My wife started the process by contacting him a couple of years ago. After meeting with Randy, we had to put the project on hold for two years. This past Spring we are able to give Randy a call to proceed with our dream reservation. What was initially started as a kitchen tear out (taken back to studs) and total renovation, expanded to include renovated main floor powder room, ensuite tearout, total reconfiguration and renovation, & upstairs bathroom renovated. We worked with Randy, and Interior Designer, Rosalyn Lazaruk to put together what best suited the balance of design and cost. Randy and Ros putl together a plan that covered our wish list and budget. Timing was agreed with a 12 to 14 week construction schedule, Mid June through August. No renovation is fun. We planned to have alternative accommodation during construction though I did stay in the basement during some periods of construction. The other thing about renovations is that there is always something else. Our renovation cost was based on certain assumptions that were not the case when the kitchen was torn out. In our case, we needed to add a structural beam and post in the basement and kitchen. Randy can up with a solution that included having a structural engineer agree with solution and sign off on it. This could have been a very upsetting experience but Randy lead us through it with the best possible solution. As with all major renovations adjustments and changes took place. Randy's communication skills made this a comfortable experience. During the renovation, we added items not directly connected with the renovations (changing light fixtures in hall and basement), leveling of doors in basement, painting of living and dining room ceilings. All completed to our satisfaction. Randy's main crew, Derek & Jurgen are exceptional workers and were a pleasure to have doing the renovation. They were mindful about keeping the non construction areas of our home as clean as possible. There are always going to be differences of opinion. We had three issues, a kitchen faucet, the sub floor heating of tile in ensuite, and mirrors in the ensuite. These issues were discussed and corrected measures were taken to our satisfaction. Randy would invoice us on a bi weekly schedule with a clear schedule of costs broken down for materials and labour. Are we happy with our renovation? We are ecstatic over it and so thankful for Retrofit Design, Randy, Ros, Derek, and Jurgen. Highly recommended.”

“We have used Four Elements for 2 renovation projects now at 2 different homes and would certainly recommend the company for small to large projects. The first was a basement finishing project in 2014 - we started with an unfinished basement and roughed in plumbing in a 2003 home with Four Elements coordinating all trades to frame/drywall/paint/carpentry/electrical/plumbing/installation of carpet and tile. Our project was estimated to take 3 months and was completed within that time frame. We were minimally above budget (I believe it was a couple thousand on 30+) and was in part due to changes that we made as the project went along. The finishing quality was excellent and we were very happy with the completed space (family room, bathroom and small laundry room). Peter (owner) made several excellent recommendations along the way such as the type of lighting to use and was responsive to our comments/suggestions throughout the build. Our second project has just recently concluded and was significantly more complex as it was upgrades/renos throughout a 1960's home on all levels. We installed new exterior doors/window, moved a wall, created a pass thru, painted, installed new flooring, countertops, lighting in the basement, insulation, electrical, and furnace upgrades to name a few. Again, this project was completed on time and very close to our original budget (48+) and was completed within the 2 month time frame Peter estimated. We are very happy with the end results and did not consider using anyone other than Peter and Four Elements for this project based on how well our first experience went.”

“We love our new bathroom! Joseph did an excellent job throughout the process; he communicated timelines clearly; was able to make some last minute adjustments; gave us advice about how our venting wasn’t up to standard; and overall kept our house clean when he left everyday. We will definitely use Joseph again for other projects!”

“Corey is extremely professional in both his estimating and his work. We needed our kitchen redone( floors, cupboards and backsplash). His craftsmanship is excellent and he kept the work area very clean so that we could still use our kitchen in the evenings. He even helped us pick out products that would fit well within our current style and our budget. I would recommend him to anyone looking to have some renovations completed.”

“I plan on doing many more renovation projects and will call on TD Renovations every time!! Very easy to deal with, and the product they put out is always stunning!! Highly recommend these guys!”

“I contracted Mountview to complete my full bathroom renovation (new tiling, porcelains, shower, tub, vanities, paint, fixtures - the works), and Les and his team did a fantastic job. He worked promptly with both me and the designer, keeping us informed of the project timeline, and worked with us to balance the project cost and fit our vision. Renos were complete on time and on budget, the work is beautifully done, and I will certainly be working with Mountview when it is time for the kitchen upgrade.”

“The service and workmanship provided by contemporary Bath was excellent. The renovations in our kitchen and bathrooms were completed in the expected time. Although we had several different workers they were all very professional and their workmanship superior. We had no complaints at the end of the project.”

“Very impressed with Brad oversight and work on my added bathroom Reno! Once unusable and wasted attic space, now a great 3 piece washroom.”

“We have hired Tom as a carpenter on our landscape projects for the last several years. He has built decks, fences, retaining walls, screens, planters, pergolas...any type of outdoor carpentry we have requested. Tom works to a very high standard and the end result is beautiful; and often even better than anticipated. Tom offers creative ideas throughout the project and is adaptable when the situation requires it. Tom's projects are completed on time and on budget. Our clients are always thrilled. As a landscape contractor we meet and deal with many different contractors. For a contractor to become a part of the Aura Landscapers team, he must bring a high level of quality, commitment and professionalism. We believe Tom does. We plan to continue our relationship with Building Art for years to come!”

“When I purchased my condo 7 years ago Design Kitchens helped me design the perfect kitchen for my lifestyle and my home. They offered intuitive design options and now I have a kitchen that is the focal point of my house! They were efficient, professional, and competitively priced.”
