“I hired Denise to help with a new marketing strategy, and to design a new website for my painting business., I was immediately struck by Denise's keen attention to detail, her technical acumen, and her strong sense of artistry. She took the time needed to gauge the needs of my business and to pose the necessary questions that have helped to elevate my business. Her quotation was more than reasonable and she has been a real pleasure to work with! Denise Flower Power!”

“Very good professional. Rodrigo was able to fix all the issues we had during our renovation. We had a tight schedule and he was able to adapt to it. He is very organized and finish his part in a timely manner. I would 100% recommend his business.”
ArtisStone
Specialty Contractors in Nanaimo
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 21, 2014
“Ever since I met Rick Alpen of ArtisStone I knew I wanted to work with him on a custom project. He is an artist and an exceptional tradesperson. I hired Rick to complete a concrete sculpture as a landscape and building solution. The project required that we collaborate and brainstorm together in the planning phase. Rick was a lot of fun to work with in this process. In the end he created just what I was envisioning, and our clients were thrilled. His work is still a conversation piece - people love to hear how the "rock planter" is made by hand, by a local artisan, using concrete. Recommended!”
