Klondike Contracting

A Great experience. We are very happy with the work we had done to our house. We now have a cosy but spacious home, perfect for our family.
Thank You!

Klondike has helped me with both a large scale project and a more recently a smaller project. They were able to work within my budget to achieve the look I wanted in both cases. Their staff are professional and reliable and I feel totally confident recommending them to anyone looking to undertake a renovation in Vancouver.

We were contemplating doing a renovation and Burton and Jacqueline from Klondike came to look over our house. They were most pleasant and informative and also had many useful suggestions!

We recently had some brick work done through Klondike and are very pleased with the work done, professionalism of Mike at Klondike and the masons, and the prompt time they finished the work. We also had some roof repairs done last year. Now we can sleep better knowing that our roof won't leak any more.

We worked with Klondike on a design plan for a condo renovation and were totally impressed with their process and the team! The whole design and build journey is clearly laid out and overseen by experts, and we really enjoyed working with Eric, Jacqueline, Lindsay and Greg. If you want a no-hassle stress-free renovation, look no further.

"The construction of our laneway house was typical of any new project in that there was a smooth start, bumpy middle and happy ending. The one difference was that laneway housing had just been approved and we were among the first 100 people to apply for a permit to build. This was uncharted water for the client, the contrator and the city. The finsihed house has become part of the neighbourhood and is truely beautiful inside and out. Getting to this point however, was not always easy.

We met Eric Schapira at our house to look at what Klondike was offering and were very impressed with the amount of time and effort Klondike had put into the sales package. Eric showed up with a Laneway House Brochure complete with a cost analysis, architectural renditions and a clear overview of the building process. He introduced to an architect, Khang Nguyen, who came up with a fantastic design. Permits were drawn in October of 2009 and budgeting and contracts were signed by April of 2010. Construction started mid May of 2010.

We met and benefitted from the workmanship of many skilled tradespeople throughout the entire construction phase of our project. The problems we encountered along the way were the result of inferior tradesmanship and inefficient project management. Most often, solutions to problems were found by working directly with the pm and the trade in question. On a couple of occasions and certainly near the end of the project, I dealt directly with Eric regarding deficiencies and other problems construction related. Each time I found Eric to be firm and fair and his team got right to work on fixing the problems I had identified. The Klondike team was always accessible and ready to support as well as hold the trades to a high standard.

Nine months later, the laneway house was tenanted and has been ever since by the same tenant. This tells me that not only is the house aesthetically appealing, but also functional, efficient and comfortable enough for someone to call home. The transformation from house to home is indicative of thoughtful planning, careful execution and an understanding that a home is a living, breathing and animate object that requires continual attention. Klondike has maintained a relationship with the house that will ensure its health for years to come.

I would like to thank Klondike Contracting and especially Edwin for the work they did, I am very pleased with it. I know that the OTR duct was challenging, but you did manage to do this in a very nice, totally hidden way.
The work was all done very professionally by you and your partner.

Thanks again, Edward

"Our Klondike project manager, Garth, was always very courteous and responsive to our enquiries and concerns. He conscientiously facilitated the communications with the sub-trades and coordinated the schedules so that progress was maintained throughout the project. It was a pleasure working with Garth. We are very happy in our new home."

Klondike was professional and diligent in addressing multifaceted project requirements. Personnel were engaged and readily accessible through-out construction, and commencement of critical operations was facilitated as soon as practicable. We are pleased with the project outcome.

We were way over our heads trying to imagine how to build our first restaurant until Klondike came aboard. In seven weeks Klondike took the Re-Up at River Market from design drawings and an equipment list to completion, and they finished it on budget.

Thanks for all your help Eric.
