Klondike Contracting

When we decided to undertake a major house renovation the most difficult part was selecting a contractor. We had interviewed several contractors and met to discuss our renovation plans, an received a wide range of proposals, but in the end the choice for us was very clear and evident. Klondike Contracting was very professional in their meetings, took the time to understand our needs and our priorities within the renovation scope, and were very forthright and upfront about the costs, timelines and what to expect. We had several other proposals offered from other contractors, and many at lower costs, but in the end we wanted a firm that was professional, trustworthy and delivered high quality workmanship.

We selected a fixed-price contract, and true to their word after a very extensive renovation process the project was delivered on cost to the exact penny. Klondike advised us up front that major renovations do have the potential to uncover surprises once walls are opened up, and we had our fair share of renovation dilemmas to deal with along the way. In all situations options were presented with clear cost implications, as well as creative solutions to manage through them. What was most appreciated by us was the level of professionalism Klondike brought to their work. We have heard so many horror stories from people that have had a negative experience dealing with construction renovations we were apprehensive about the entire process.

Once the project got underway we knew we were in good hands with our Project Manager. Another great experience has been the after-contract support under their 2 year warranty. We are currently working through an issue with 2 deficient hardwood planks in the kitchen where the finish is chipping off, after contacting Klondike they dispatched the flooring experts who came in and replaced the wood flooring planks without question.

In the end, what we were most concerned about was finding a company we could trust and would do the job right the first time. Klondike delivered on their promise and exceeded our expectations. But most importantly, the quality of workmanship far exceeded our expectations, out home has been transformed into a living space straight out of design magazines. Klondike Contracting helped our vision become a reality. We would not hesitate to recommend Klondike to anyone considering a quality interior renovation project.

We truly underestimated the magnitude and complexity of the project. Your incredible team brought it all together and we sincerely thank you as we are completely satisfied with the results! We feel fortunate that we had your qualified team to trust to bring everything to fruition. We appreciate your expertise and detailed information starting with budget, concept and timing. We believe the combination of your design and project management, contractor relationships and the incredible Klondike staff were key factors. A very special commendation for Leif and Louie who were the constant, on-site dynamos taking care of every detail along the way. It was such a relief to know that your people take personal pride with special attention to ensuring our needs were met. We would highly recommend Klondike Contacting for customers who want a smooth renovation experience with outstanding results.

This winter we chose Klondike Contracting to renovate/update 3 bathrooms in our circa 1930s home in Vancouver. Our talented designer/project manager, Jacqueline Pasquali, listened and understood our vision and our needs. She created beautiful and functional bathrooms, despite some space constraints. The whole Klondike team was friendly and professional throughout the process, and we are very pleased with the design, workmanship and quality of materials. We are very happy that we chose Klondike.

We want to commend you and your firm for the outstanding job you have done in the renovation project in our apartment in the Shaw Tower. We had some general ideas of how we wanted to create our "Cabin in the Sky". We worked an iterative process in which Jacqueline made suggestions for materials, colors and textures. She then stayed with the project to work with the craftsmen and other contractors to assure the designs were turned into reality. The workmanship was first rate. We have done other renovations in other locations and we would rank Klondike's work as superior to any of the others. In particular, we have enjoyed working with Lief and Louie and their very positive "anything can be done" attitude; not to mention their very highly skilled woodworking ability. We were very conscious of both time and budget considerations. This was complicated by the fact that our main residence is in Southern California so we had to work mostly remotely. Once again you lived up to your commitments in these areas. In any project of this magnitude there will invariably be some communication issues. On the few occasions where this did occur Eric was quick to step in and resolve the issues. We would highly recommend your services to anyone who is considering a high end renovation project. Regards, Bill and Julie

I am the strata council president for the Baybreeze condo building located in Vancouver’s west end. Recently, we worked with Klondike construction on renovations to our building lobby.

In all stages of the process --from bidding to contracting to execution-- Klondike was a pleasure to deal with. Communication was clear, their trades did good work and were friendly. The various issues and complications that normally arise were dealt with professionally and courteously. There was a genuine commitment to the work being done properly which is rare these days in my experience.

I have no hesitation recommending Klondike for this kind of work. I would happily work with them again.

Sincerely,

Howard D
Strata Council President

-the trades pride in their work shows
-work was done on time as promised
-from initial consultation to completion ?there was thorough explanation of processes, materials and techniques .

I wouldn't hesitate to contract Klondike again should we need any renovations or construction. I have no reservations recommending them.

We began working with Annaliesse and Klondike Contracting on plans for renovating our store in early Feb.2013. We were planning a major update of our space. We needed some great storage ideas and much cleaner sight lines and security features. We had very specific needs for displaying our products and Annaliesse met the challenge with lots of fresh ideas and enthusiasm. She was always available to answer any questions we had and to clarify any issues that came up; whether it was with the function or the design aesthetic. We are very happy with all the final outcome of our renovation. We love the function and we love the look of the completed renovation.

I have collaborated with Klondike Contracting since 2009 on many of their award-winning projects. I find that they really care about their client’s needs and their project managers go above & beyond the call of duty on a regular basis. When hard decisions are required to be made they will do what is right rather than what is cheapest for themselves. I would definitely recommend Klondike for both residential and commercial renovation projects.

Garth, we can’t tell you how much we appreciate your efforts with the Weight Watcher office renovation project in Vancouver. To get the kind of reaction you received from our territory manager means the space looks incredible!
I would like to say is was a pleasure working with the Klondike team & we would not hesitate to use you guys again! Danny, Senior Transaction Coordinator, Cassidy Turley
