We bought a house and needed one bathroom to be redone, another to be built from the ground up, and…read morealso a room under the roof to be stripped to the joist and rebuilt. The project involved some plumbing, some electrical work, some tiling, installation of different bathroom fixtures, drywall, painting, putting wood trim, putting up doors and we also had some structural adjustments to take care of. We had a time line of three weeks to do all that and a budget that couldn't be stretched too thin.
It was the middle of the summer and we knew all the contractors would be busy or very expensive.
We called a few and requested estimates. Kris and Darek came up with the most reasonable estimates and they were ready to work within our timeline. Plus, they were the most competent. They pointed out things that the others simply didn't see (like the copper pipes we had in the basement that all the other contractors missed and wanted us to get).
The work started and, that same evening, my girlfriend and I went to see the site. We were so surprised to discover that, while they had work their butt off all day long and progressed at giant steps, they had left the work site absolutely spotless. No tools thrown everywhere, no dirt and debris on the floors, no dangerous electrical wires hanging. They had swept the floors and organized all the waste in plastic bags.
As the work progressed we discovered a few problems that the walls had hidden. Every time, Kris and Darek informed us of the best way to deal with them and worked the price in a very, very reasonable fashion if they needed to do some extensive fixing. We felt we could really trust them. And their attitude was always pleasant and easy going.
The rebuilt bathroom turned out a little masterpiece. As we looked at it when it was finished, we realized how solid the craftsmanship was, but it was second to none to the attention to details. The second bathroom was also impeccable. We loved it. The newly remodeled bedroom had been done in a sturdy and beautiful fashion. Again, we saw they really knew what they were doing. And, although we kept on asking for more work, as we saw how good they were, they respected the time line we had and managed to finish on schedule.
We've been living with the work they've done for about 3 months now, I wanted to see how their work would hold up before I write a review. And I have two children that test every piece of the house to the limit. Well, I'm happy to report that nothing has moved. Everything is strong, reliable and gorgeous.
They also recommended one other contractor to take care of the gutters and install a couple down spout. Those people were as reliable, as easy to deal with and did as good of the job as Kris and Darek did for us. Our basement hasn't had a sip of water since the gutters were fixed.
We got incredible lucky to find Kris and Darek. We already have recomended their name to someone else who had the same experience as us.
The work is spot on, the attitude is very nice to deal with, the attention to details is incredible, the price is right and they respect the constraints of time, I couldn't give any less than five stars.
