So when we needed some carpentry done inside the house (modifying a stairwell) we contacted him as our first choice. Even though it was very close to Christmas break, Glenn replied immediately and came over to provide advice and make an estimate soon after that. He worked efficiently and frugally, and the job was completed faster than we had expected. Yet again, we are happy with the result - thanks very much, Glenn! Heather and Darrel, Edmonton

As a custom home builder, we understand that delays can happen. What is much harder to understand…read moreis the complete lack of communication that we have experienced with Forge 53. We placed a substantial deposit for custom office doors and a shower enclosure approximately 10 months ago. After repeated emails and phone calls from both myself and our project manager went unanswered for weeks, we were forced to advise Forge 53 that the delays were impacting our clients' possession date. On May 14, we finally received a response apologizing for the "radio silence," citing staffing changes and a backlog of custom projects. At that time, we were advised that fabrication would be completed by May 18/19, with installation anticipated as early as the week of May 25. Those dates have long since passed. Since then, multiple additional attempts to obtain an update have gone unanswered. We still do not have the products we ordered, a confirmed installation date, or any indication of when this matter will be resolved.

My wife and I commissioned a couple bookshelves through Forge 53 this fall. Mike and his staff were…read moreincredible to work with throughout the entire process. From providing us with guidance and suggestions in designing the piece while still listening to what we wanted to giving updates on the construction, the build was great.

In the end, Mike and his staff helped deliver the pieces in our home and install the shelves.

I generally avoid writing reviews of companies until my experience with them is done but I'll…read moreupdate this if anything changes in the next few months. My husband and I contracted Paramount to build a deck for us last summer. Paramount is the only company we contacted for quotes that specializes in composite decks, and the on-site consult we had was excellent. The quotes that Paramount provides are also great, with everything itemized so you can see all the charges upfront, and what different add-ons or changes may cost. We loved them and it was an easy choice over the other companies we contacted. Once we committed to hiring Paramount though, communication took a nose dive. We needed to go through a couple quote revisions before getting on the schedule, and three times I had to call the office when a week or more had gone by and I hadn't gotten a response to my emails and the updates we were needing on the quote. This pushed construction back a month later than we were hoping. The scheduling and construction of our deck was a cluster-you-know-what. Our construction date was changed a few times, and no one at the office seemed to know what was going on. I had to call and email to make sure that Alberta One Call was contacted prior to the screw pile installation, and 10 days AFTER the screw piles were installed, the scheduler texted me to tell me that someone was coming out to put in the screw piles that week (???). Our first shipment of materials was mostly damaged (the supplier's fault, not Paramount's), so half the deck was built and we had to wait another 1.5 weeks for the second shipment. The crew that was scheduled to move the boards into our backyard for the second shipment on a Friday did not show up, so we had a pallet of decking materials blocking our garage (and preventing us from using our second vehicle) for an entire weekend. Because the deck was sitting half-finished and uncovered for a few weeks, the wood warped and we had to have our installer out again to shore up the boards and even out the surface. I got three different emails with three different dates telling me when a clean up crew would be coming to our house, and they still showed up five days after the third email said they would. I called and emailed multiple times to confirm various issues or scheduling and no one responded to me. Our contract stated that railings would be installed 4-6 weeks after the deck was constructed. The main platform of our deck was finished on August 21, and here we are in the middle of March and our railings were never installed. Part of our deck is six feet off the ground so we have never been able to use it, or get the permits to move our BBQ onto it and out of our garage for the winter. The stairs also aren't finished because we needed our landscaping finished first to level off the ground, and we were explicit that this would be the case before signing the contract with Paramount, but I'm wondering how difficult it will be to get someone out here this spring to put in our stairs. So, we have a big platform in our yard and nothing else. I got sick of calling Paramount every few weeks asking when our railings would be installed so I gave up in December. No one made any effort to follow up with us over the fall and winter, which would have been appropriate considering that we were promised railings over and over again. Our user account was deleted on the online scheduler Paramount uses, so I'm assuming they're as done with us as we are with them. At this point our expectation is that we have to find another railing manufacturer and have the deck finished on our own.

Florkowsky's was hired to bring my kitchen design to fruition. I initially met with Jason…read moreFlorkowsky who came out to the condo to take measurements, and continued to work directly with him throughout the process. My must haves were semi gloss lacquer upper cabinets and continuous horizontal grain walnut base cabinets to go over my freshly laid polished porcelain Calacatta marble floor tiles. Florkowsky's was hired approximately Feb 30/15. They removed the old kitchen cabinets and built and installed brand new cabinets and I had a fully functional kitchen with exactly what I had asked for by May 6/15. Overall the timeframe to completion was a bit long however I can't fault Florkowsky's entirely for that. What is more important to me is the overall outcome of my kitchen and I must say I am in LUV! Here are a couple of examples of what this company will do to ensure the client is happy: 1) I could not decide on the finish/ how much gloss I wanted on the upper cabinetry. I finally decided on 25 %, the upper cabinets were all installed and when I saw them I didn't like the finish, it was too matte. The installers removed all the doors, took them back to the shop, resprayed them with 40% and reinstalled them. 2) ordered multiple sheets of walnut veneer until I found the "ones" 3) I picked out all the cabinet hardware, it was ordered and delivered and then I changed my mind. I found some other cabinet hardware online that I preferred and Jason got it for me! Would I recommend this company? Yes, in a heartbeat! Combine all of the above with quality materials and craftsmanship and impeccable attention to detail, it's a win win and what you will get if you hire Florkowsky's. This is a company that truly cares about the customer. I thought I was picky but Florkowsky's installers exceeded my expectations and I could not be happier. I love my kitchen so much, if I could... I would marry it, lol! Many thanks to Florkowsky's Woodworking & Cabinets, and special thanks to Jason : ) Sincerely ML
