We did our research and one contractor we spoke with recommended My House Design (MHD). We had heard of MHD as they had an exceptional reputation for their quality of work. We made contact with them and met with their team led by Graeme. Their team was very professional and experts in what we wanted to accomplish. They soon developed a timely precise design and plan, within our budget. The sub trades were so professional, thoughtful and experts in their field. Steve, the project manager, was very accommodating and ensured the work was done to the highest standard. Further, MHD was great at communicating with us in relation to our budget progression, so we always knew where we stood. We highly recommend MHD and would not hesitate to use them again.

I have recommended staging to all my clients for the last 20 years, and I know how important…read morestaging is to have the property showing at its best, and to generate good offers. Urban Presentations did the staging on a 1-BR condo I had listed in Kitsilano in November 2020, transforming it from a dark and dated space to a stunning modern and chic apartment that buyers fell in love with. Cindy gives the best advice about colors, furniture placement, and the latest design trends that fit the type of home she is working with. She and her very efficient team brought in all the furniture and decor items and had it camera-ready in 4 hours. My seller was thrilled, and we sold it the first week. I am very happy to highly recommend her to any of my clients in the future.

We had 4 areas done by them; bedroom closet, pantry/storage room, entryway closet, and spare bedroom closet (no photo). We love all of the spaces and wouldn't change anything. We initially had three quotes from two other companies (including California closets), and the designs by Jen were better than the others by far. We initially had glass sliding doors covering up our closet and Jen convinced us to remove them and raise the closet hight by another foot or so. I did the job myself to save some money, and it was not too difficult luckily. It however was a fantastic idea as we were able to change the entire design of the closet to be more functional, and symmetrical. The entry way closet Jen also had the best design for and its much better then how it was done originally. The pantry/storage room we added on at the end as we were not even thinking of having it done, but Jen had very functional ideas which make a huge difference for our day to dad. Overall we had fast, friendly, cost effective, and high quality service. Thanks!

I'll definitely be using Clever Quarters again in the future.

I want to give a shout out to this amazing company, KITCHEN MAKEOVERS. After getting 4 quotes, and…read more4 different scopes of work (what they would and wouldn't do,) I decided on this company and for a number of reasons: Tanya came with a tonne of knowledge - from colour to paint to hardware, cost, and more. She was able to offer suggestions as to what would look good, and what would be economical for me. She was extremely thorough. As well, she showed genuine interest in making my kitchen beautiful. Another contractor (I'll call him Joe) told me to figure it all out myself, which I did not find helpful. He said he was not a decorator. Everything Tanya put together for me, verbally, or otherwise, was very detailed and easily understood. I had to ask Joe a few times to clarify what he meant, which made me uncomfortable. At that point, I felt suspicious because it was beginning to appear that he was only going to put doors on and anything after that was extra and would take me well beyond the original quote. (See below) There were no hidden fees or nickel-and-diming during this transaction. She was kind enough to throw in a few extras as well - something the other 3 companies would not do. In fact, Joe was not going to paint the frames of the cabinets, saying that once the new doors went on, you would not notice the old cruddy parts of the cabinets. Not so as they were very old and discoloured. As well, Joe did not plan to do anything with the panel at the end of the row of cabinets. He told me it would cost me $150 to return to do those measurements, and $350 to put a new standard cabinet-sized panel on the end. The staff at Kitchen Makeovers is stellar. They are a young group of people, all with an extraordinary work ethic. They are: Tanya, Nadia1, Scarlet, Hayley, Jonah, and Nadia2. I couldn't have asked for better. Even with the amount of staff attending, there was never any breakdown in communication. They all had a specific job to do and they did it. The staff were always on time, in spite of having to drive from the Valley. They were all very pleasant, helpful, and did meticulous work. Their clean-up was impeccable. In closing, I will say that out of all the contractors I've had in my place in the last 2 years, (and there were many,) this company, by far, out-performed all of them, in terms of honesty, efficiency, price, customer care, and integrity. If you plan on updating your kitchen, scroll no further. Kitchen Makeovers is the only way to go. Call Tanya today! You will not be disappointed! 604-330-8735 info@kitchenmakeovers.ca.

After considering various alternatives, we chose Vancouver General Contractors to turn our dark and…read moredated open concept first floor into a light, bright, modern open plan living masterpiece! It is simply splendid. From our first meeting with Shwan, the Project Consultant, when we discussed our vision, to the end of the project, we were part of all the decisions on everything that needed to be done. We were consulted extensively by Rose, Hoda and the Head Designer Zaineb. They listened and delivered. It was a big project with new floors, cabinets, huge pantry, fireplace, powder room, live wall, new doors and so many other details. The Head Designer, who we absolutely love, Zaineb Al-Saffar was on top of everything -- a great asset to have when we needed any communication with any concerns or questions. She worked very closely with both of us and with her Chief Contractor Mo; Mo was in charge of overseeing the whole project. Mo is great, knows his job, and is quite a perfectionist. A pleasure to work with. Central to the team, Ash and Sarah were absolutely perfect. Renovating our place like no others and recommending solutions to our concerns. The kitchen cabinets and the sitting benches by the window are splendid! Madan Mohan , from Danma Cabinets here in the lower mainland, designed and installed the kitchen and dining room. Excellent workmanship and professionalism. He responded with respect and agreement when we needed to have features corrected. He stands behind his product and workmanship!, The quality of product and workmanship by Canadian Countertops is undeniable; both the kitchen counters, backsplash and fireplace surrounding are perfect. Because of Covid-19, the live wall has not yet been delivered and installed, but this will be done as soon as health restrictions are lifted. Overall, Vancouver General Contractors has delivered well beyond our expectations and we marvel every day at how our home has been transformed. The team was professional, hardworking and produced a high standard of work. Also, I cannot sing high enough praises of Zaineb and Mo, who helped us through the whole process. We highly recommend Vancouver General Contractors!! In fact, we have hired them again to renovate our old bathroom upstairs... the design and material are state of art and it is going to be gorgeous!

We impulsively hired VGC for our kitchen renovation because I was naive. I believe they do charge a…read morelot of hidden costs and push these "change order" fees that is ridiculous. They gave us a budget for certain items like say our sink... and because I wanted to choose a more expensive sink than their predicted cost, they were going to charge us a change order fee. It makes no sense, if I want to spend a few hundred dollars more on my sink why do they reap financial benefit from it when they gave us a lowball amount to spend in the first place. We were also plagued with mismanagement of our project. The project manager, Ali, they assigned to us was inexperienced and made several errors that delayed our project. He was definitely hired based on nepotism as he was the best friend of the manager, Hussain. The PM was fairly clueless, luckily my husband is a carpenter and he really had to micromanage many aspects of the project. This is a shame since we thought we were hiring VGC to take the stress of managing the projects ourselves. Then Ali left us halfway through project for personal reason. We did get a better PM, Mo after but he had to deal with the aftermath of the first guy plus the first contractor, Hamid decided to leave our project midway due to a dispute with how the company mismanaged payment to him. I was then harassed for weeks by Hamid to pay him or else he'd put a lien on our home. Meanwhile, the manager Hussain did not check in once to clarify or reassure us that we did not owe the contractor anything outstanding as we made payment on time to VGC. Then Hamid further disclosed that VGC definitely overcharge their clients and he said our project should not have taken as long as it did to complete, which left a very negative feeling for us. I felt anxious throughout thinking Hamid was going to show up and threaten my family and I have small children at home, it was not a good feeling. There was also design flaws where calculations were flawed and it required my husband to step in and alter the design and measurements. All in all the project was a disaster for us and we do feel overcharged. I do not recommend them. They were not professional and the trades they hire are also not professional. Don't be persuaded by the smooth salesman pitch from the manager, it's all smoke and mirrors because when things went wrong they definitely didn't care about their customer.

I initially hired Lana to help me organize a large closet and re-arrange the existing furniture /…read moredécor in my apartment to better suit my needs / uses. I had recently gone through a breakup, and while I wanted to tackle the project myself, I felt daunted. Lana was able to fit me in quickly, arrived on time, came prepared with storage solutions for my space, and worked quickly and efficiently. She was professional, friendly, and non-judgmental of my clutter -- while still encouraging me to sort through my things as they were organized, which resulted in a good-sized pile of donations that she took to the thrift store for me! My space felt totally refreshed, and for the first time in a long time, I enjoyed and looked forward to spending time at home. During our time organizing / re-arranging, Lana informed me that she not only does staging for homes for sale, but interior decorating as well, and offered to personally shop for additional furniture / décor to really bring my newly refreshed space together. We discussed my needs, preferences, and budget, she gave me a few ideas she had in mind, and that very day she started shopping for me. She kept me in the loop throughout the following couple of weeks as she shopped, and we scheduled a time when she could come to my apartment and set everything up for me. That day when I returned from work, I arrived to a gorgeous apartment straight out of a magazine -- far and above my expectations! Not only did she incorporate ideas we had discussed for my space, but she had clearly paid attention to little details that had come up in our conversations and personalized her purchases to me. I LOVE what she's done for my space, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for organizational or decorating help!

We intend to hire her for many more things because of how good she is!!!!! So happy to have found this Company ( Clutter 2 Comfort)
