We own an older home in Port Moody, and were in dire need of a new roof in 2015. I spoke to a number of contractors at the time to see what our options might be. When I met Mark from EA I had a gut feeling that he was going to make sure we worked together to get the possible solution for our home. I couldn't have been more correct in that initial feeling.
What started out as a replacement for our aging roof turned into a lot more along the way, and Mark and his team were there to help every step of the way. I very rarely write reviews on sites like this, but in this case I feel like it's something that deserves to be noted. When I say Mark went above and beyond the normal duties of a contractor I'm putting it mildly.
When huge unexpected storms hit our region in the midst of demoing the roof (while awaiting final permits) Mark was there at 4 in the morning, helping make sure our tarps were secure, and the rest of our house was protected. In fact, he was already outside our house before we even woke up to the storm. That's something I'll never forget, and no amount of money will buy that kind of integrity, and personal dedication to a client.
I could go on and on about how EA's subcontractors are top notch, including Brian, Steve, Trevor, etc. And they are. I got to know these guys like family over the course of many months that they were at the house working, and I can't say enough good things about them. They work hard, do top quality work, and are the best at what they do.
No job is without roadblocks, and Mark would be one of the first to note how many we ran into on this job; from weather, to getting all the proper permits. But the whole time, from standing in the rain on a roofless upper floor, to being by our side at City Hall presenting our case to the board of variance, Mark never let us down, or left us hanging.
In the end, although things end up costing more than any of us planned, the work Mark and his team did only added to the value of our home. We've had it appraised at a much higher value than the cost we spent on the renovation. I can honestly say that with all the roadblocks we hit I'm positive we never would have made it through the job with a different contractor. From structural reports, to architectural plans, and engineering surveys, Mark was able to walk us through every step along the way.
In the end, we not only have a brand new roof, but an entirely renovated upstairs, with a new master bath, hardwood floors throughout, and way more space than we ever had before. I can't recommend Mark and the team at EA Renovations highly enough for all the work they did. You can find other contractors that might do similar work, but you won't find a group of guys that looks out for your best interests the way Mark and his guys did for us.
