Kitchen renovation

We had Mainland Ventures undertake a kitchen renovation for us and were extremely happy with their work. They took a refreshing, client-centred approach to problems and found creative, cost effective solutions that worked for us and our budget. Everyone on their team was pleasant and courteous; Conor in particular was fantastic with our two small children. They responded to questions and issues on the project immediately and went out of their way to minimize the inconvenience of the construction on our family. We will definitely use Mainland Ventures again and would highly recommend them to others.

Kitchen/laundry renovation

We have completed our second major home renovation project with Mainland Ventures; this last one being the bigger of the two. The project took approximately 5 months to complete and we still cannot believe how smoothly everything went. Paul's management and Amos' on site supervision and craftsmanship are the reason for such a successful job. Kudos to all the other workers and tradesmen. Truly a well-managed team effort. You know you really have a great contractor when on his final inspection, the building inspector says our kitchen is one of the nicest he's ever seen and praised Paul for being efficient, prepared and pleasant to deal with. We have no hesitation in recommending Mainland Ventures to anyone; and already have. In fact we will welcome Paul and his crew back in the Spring 2016 for project number 3, the master bathroom. Great job Paul, Amos and all the guys, couldn't be happier or more proud of the end product.

I hope this finds you both doing well. I'm very embarrassed that I wasn't more prompt in replying to your very kindly worded review. I appreciate both the time and effort you spent writing it. The support of wonderful people like yourselves is precisely why I continue to work hard each and everyday. The guys loved coming into work each and day enjoyed the donuts you would so kindly provide. Chevy was always a joy to see as well and I know how much Manny and Amos miss his adorable furry greetings in the morning. It is immensely satisfying and a rewarding experience to read the positive experiences. I am thrilled with the end result of your kitchen and I hope you have a great many years of enjoyment out of it. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or merely want to say hello.

White Rock/South Surrey

Having recently moved from a townhouse to an apartment in South Surrey, I had no hesitation in contacting Mainland Ventures again for an estimate for proposed renovations. The 1100 sq ft apartment is approximately 26 years old and no updates had ever been done. So I met with Paul and discussed the options available within my budget for a complete renovation, floor to ceiling. We were able to find a plan that worked for both of us. So Mainland Ventures provided us with a complete painting of walls, ceilings and doors, new crown mouldings and baseboards, new carpets, new flooring in kitchen and bathrooms, new bathroom vanities and fixtures, new ceiling fans and lighting, new shower fixtures and glass doors. As well, Paul consulted us on the purchase of all new kitchen and laundry appliances. And all of this project fit within our budget !! Yay !! The next phase will be the kitchen countertops and cabinets which we hope to begin in the early spring. Naturally I will be calling Paul and his fantastic crew to do this work. They are always professional and meticulous in their work. Even other residents of our building commented on how polite and courteous they were compared to other contractors they had seen around before. Again Thank You Paul and Mainland Ventures. You kept me within my budget and kept our stress level at a minimum :-)

roof and skylight replacement and front porch repair

Mainland was such a pleasure to work with. The crew did excellent work and completed the job promptly. They cleaned up each day and let us know what was being done to keep us aware of the schedule. The crew was clean and courteous and a pleasure to have around the house. Overall a great experience.

Bathroom renovation

We recently hired Mainland Ventures to renovate our main floor bathroom, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Paul and his team were friendly, punctual, conscientious and very tidy. Amos, Manny and Russell did a great job of transforming our old, grungy bathroom into a beautiful updated Craftsman style bathroom that we love. The crew were genuinely such nice people to have working in our home. Paul and his team were quick to respond to any questions we had, and any unforeseen problems were dealt with very fast. Our final bill was exactly as expected with no hidden costs or surprises. Our bathroom was completed in the time frame given and the whole experience was very positive. We most highly recommend Mainland Ventures and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again.

Wishing you and your family a great many years of enjoyment with your beautiful new bathroom. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, or concerns or just want to say hello.

major carport repair

The company and its employees did an excellent job. The work was well-executed, and it was completed quickly and efficiently. The workplace was kept immaculate at all times. The company was recommended to us by friends and we, in turn, heartily recommend them to others. We would use them again at the drop of a hat. They were very friendly and a pleasure to deal with.

Replaced cedar deck, replaced roof tiles,new gutters and painting for porch and upper story of house

Mainland Ventures renovated a bathroom for me in 2010. I was very pleased with the company that I got in touch recently and decided to get the work done by them again. I have high praise for Paul doing the contracting with skill and with a friendly knowledge of what needed to be done. His team of workers were professional, competent and friendly. The project was completed in good time and I am very satisfied and pleased that they did the work for me. Oh yes, they are all very tidy and clean up at the end of each day which I appreciate!

Dearest Nola. If I could write a review about the wonderful clients that I have met and befriended such as yourself I don't know if the people reading it would believe me. You are one of those rare individuals whom I feel so very blessed to have met in my life. Your kind disposition (towards all creatures great and small) and your graciousness in life is truly to be admired. Your home is a gem in the city and I'm always happy to assist in the repairs and renovations you wish to undertake. Your long term and unwavering support of my company has been essential in the growth and reputation I benefit from. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the kind words and referrals to many of your friends over the years. We have recently met with Diana and look forward to the renovation of her home. Take very good care and I will see you very soon for the window install.

Replace entrance stairs

This job was completed on time and within the quoted budget. It was not inexpensive; however, the work was excellent - tidy, discreet and relatively quiet. I recommend without reservations Mainland Ventures for similar work.

Assisted Review

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.

Entering into the unknown world of house renovations was new to us. We'd done our research, narrowed down the field, and after having a number of companies come to the house, we chose Mainland Ventures. Paul made a positive impression on us right from the start.

Paul put us at ease as we undertook our bathroom renovation. We appreciated his knowledge, guidance and patience with us "newbies". He took the time to explain everything to us as we went along. Paul and his team were most professional, hardworking and respectful. We were impressed with every one of them. All in all the whole experience was positive and the results phenomenal.

If we were to have any work done in the future we wouldn't hesitate to hire Paul again. We would certainly recommend him to any friends or neighbours who are considering home renovations.

I hope this finds you and Bob happy, well and enjoying your beautiful new bathroom. I greatly appreciate the kind words that I know others will find helpful and comforting if they are new to embarking on a renovation project. I always aim to make the process as transparent and smooth as possible and I am thrilled to read that I was able to deliver on that mandate with your project. Of course working with wonderful, kind, and warm people like you makes it all the easier. Take good care and I hope to see or hear from you soon.
