Andrea in Vancouver

You know you need to get your kitchen renovations done when you see your kitchen featured in the Vancouver Sun showing kitchens by the decade. Did our research with Ikea, Meritt, Kitchen craft and decided on Homemax. Unfortunately by delaying the commitment to purchase by 7 months, the installation and delivery cost increased by 25%. Dealt with Tyler who was very helpful and knowledgeable. Should double check their final layout because what I had thought would be the layout was different. After clarifying the measurements, it was finalized to my expectation. The plywood is the way to go for having kitchen cabinets. The installers were wonderful and worked very efficiently. The delivery people were friendly. Any problems (the jig template for the handle was a bit askew) and therefore the handles were slightly not leveled were fixed promptly. Be prepared as to where you want the handles located on the cabinets and the configuration. I was caught off-guard with that and had to decide on the spot. Update: almost 2 years in and one of the soft closing drawers no longer works as such...disappointed

I love my bathrooms! I started off with the guest bathroom renovation and loved it so much that the master bathroom and powder room was renovated as well. Paul's over 28 years experience in the business as a home renovator came through in his design of the custom cabinetry layout, layout of the tiling (there was a pattern to the waves which I was not aware of) and how the tiling in the shower should flow to the separate bathtub to provide continuity. The custom shower stalls were just right. He met with us at the suppliers to assist with choosing the type of tiles, in selecting our plumbing fixtures and quartz countertop (brand matters when it comes to warranty and reviews). The result was a whole new look with more natural light and much more storage. They made sure the floors and walls were covered where necessary and cleaned up upon leaving the premises daily. Also they showed up at the specified dates and times. I plan to use them for my future living room renovation.
