An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.
Our experience with the Gracious Living Centre when we had our kitchen renovated was excellent. Xandra and her staff were always helpful and responded quickly whenever we had questions. Xandra was particularly good at helping us plan the space and in choosing the tiles, counter-top and cabinets. We chose the German-made Rational brand cabinets and have been very pleased with them. We ended up with more storage space than we started out with, and it's much better organized. The tiles and backsplash were suggested by Xandra and look great with the cabinets (honestly I think she knew what we wanted before we did!). She also suggested that we go to Tasco for our appliances and we found them so easy to deal with that we have been back since when we had to replace our washer/dryer. Perhaps the best advice we got was to get an induction stove. We were somewhat skeptical about it, but Xandra said we would end up loving it, and we do. We also have a friend (originally from France) who visits us regularly and cooks for us, and despite claiming he could never get used to a induction stove, he is now a convert too. I would (and have) recommended the Gracious Living Centre to my friends and colleagues, and would happily use them again for our next renovation project.
