Small Renovation: kitchen / bathroom / powder room
Hello Dennis and Natalie,
We worked hard together as a team to make you happy, and deliver all of the items on your wish list in a well-designed space. We are sorry you feel this way.
With older houses like your 120 year old home, as we had explained in our original kick off meeting, there are always unexpected issues that may arise. From our first meeting, you stressed that budget, not timeline, was most important to you and saving money was key as you both had saved a finite amount of funds for your renovation and were unable go above that amount. We took that to heart. Usually, when we run into unexpected issues in old houses it shows up as an added cost, however, we looked at more creative solutions to save you money, each time always with your agreement on the next steps. Unfortunately, this time of discovery, problem solving and moving forward with a revised plan did add on to the timeline.
In the end, you have a spectacularly beautiful renovation and we were able to come in 12% under budget. We are very proud of that. We love how your home turned out and that we were able to deliver to you a beautifully designed renovation with all of the items on your wish list. We know you will enjoy your space for years to come.

Thank you Keith, it was a pleasure to work with both you and Brenda on your kitchen and bathrooms re-design and renovation! I was particularly impressed with Brenda's ability to create gourmet meals on your BBQ while your kitchen was out of commission. I will never forget that Crème brûlée was one of your favourites. It certainly helped make the renovation process less daunting when you both ate like royalty. Now you have a beautiful kitchen (with a cozy fireplace) to enjoy year round!
