Envision Custom Renovations Inc.

Alan and envision lack of professionalism and honesty. Currently under legal issues. Doesnt pay the trades. Doesnt finish the jobs.

We contracted Alan and Envision to do a design and permit for an addition to our house. I believe the design portion was subcontracted and the work was acceptable. Alan was paid to do engineering and permitting but never applied for a permit. A survey was invoiced but never attained because it was never paid for by Envision. Communication was very poor. Very poor management and very poor contractor.

Excellent work. Exactly what I asked for. Matched our kitchen cabinets perfectly. Very very satisfied.

Envision was very professional in the preparation and completion of our project, with extra care to the health and well being of our family and their personnel.
We are particularly impressed with their attention to detail and perfection in completing the project.

Envision completed a kitchen reno for me in the summer of 2018. In December 2020, I had an issue with the hood fan. This was 6 months post warranty but the company sent their site supervisor out immediately. He showed up on time, assessed the situation, and provided good information to me. He needed to return to finish the job and again he showed up on time (actually a little early) and completed the job to my satisfaction. I was not charged for the work, which was a very pleasant surprise.

Alan and his team from Envision have just finished a complete home renovation for us and we couldn’t be happier. Our Forever Home has turned out beyond our expectations.
When undertaking a project of this magnitude there are always going to be glitches along the way but our home was completed on time as promised.
The array of suppliers that Envision sent us to were all helpful, professional and willing to listen to our ideas.
All the trades that worked on our home were extremely talented and courteous.
Thank You Envision

We are pleased to provide this very positive endorsement of Al and his Envision team.
A friend suggested we consider Envision for some house renovations we wanted. He said that Envision really tried to stick to their agreed work schedule and completion date, which was important to us.
We met with Al and described the development of a mud room; a new handicapped accessible master ensuite; covering 2 outside concrete steps with Rundle rock; and a couple of small repair/changes. We felt comfortable with Al and his work plan. After receiving a cost estimate and 2 month time estimate we decided to proceed.
We liked their structured approach where the demo work did not start until we had selected the components for the final look (paint colors, flooring, wall tiles, bathroom fixtures, lights, etc.) so that new construction could immediately follow the demo. With the assistance of two designers that Al contracted, this selection part of the process went quite quickly, in part because we already knew the look we wanted.
As this was being completed we got our first electronic detailed schedule of work activities, and demo began. There was a smooth transition from demo to rebuild. New work was being done almost every day which we thought was pretty impressive considering that Al and his team were trying to keep contractors separate to avoid any Covid problems.
A couple of unexpected issues stretched the completion date about 3 weeks. Al and his team ensured work was done properly and to the high standard we wanted, catching a few things we had missed.
We appreciated that they wanted any feedback that could help their future work. After completion we got a new tapping sound in the plumbing. The plumber was back very quickly (at no charge) and tracked the sound to the water meter which the City has now replaced - the tapping sound is gone.
We are very happy with the results of this renovation. Of equal importance to us is that Al, his team, and all his contractors were friendly, polite, helpful, Covid wary, nice people to interact with.

Couldn’t be happier. Every aspect was done on time and on budget. All the different trades people who came through were very courteous and their work was tremendous. They made a few suggestions along the way and I’m happy they did as I likely wouldn’t have thought of it otherwise. Highly recommend.

great communication throughout the renovation project -- the staff and the trades were excellent - friendly, clean, and very detailed. would definitely recommend Envision for any renovation needs - large or small - and we would use them again for sure!! We were very pleased with the results.

Over all we were very pleased with the final out come of our kitchen reno. The quality of the materials and workmanship were excellent. The trades people chosen were very clean and professional. Envision provided a website with the ability to see the schedule, selections, payments and contacts to keep us in the loop for progress on the reno. The time schedule was overly padded for our small, simple kitchen. There were several days where little to no work was done. Would have liked more transparency of material and labor costs. We would recommend this company but not recommend living in the house for 7 weeks of renovation. (After/Before)
