Hello Emilia,
Thank you for taking the time to write your review and to share your thoughts. As a member of HomeStars I am committed to remaining visible and accountable to both my clientele as well as to the broader market in general.
On a practical note ...
Price as you suggest is relative to value. Good quality trades command fair prices as do good quality materials. It would follow that the directorship of the project should also command a fair price. Overall I feel it is important for everyone to expect to pay appropriate rates for the quality of service they receive.
On a philosophical note ....
Design/Build is a highly personalized service. Homeowners like yourself entrust a unique vision into the hands of an individual who sets out to make it real. I believe that at best we work together alongside the numerous required trades and that we continually learn from one another.
All the best and I look forward to working with you again,
Leslie Alexander Endes

Hello Carole,
Thank you for your considered review. Richard and I both feel quite pleased with and proud of the final results. We were particularly impressed with both your husbands' as well as your own degree of engagement in the process along the way. The concerted effort required to successfully plan and execute a major renovation is often rife with potential pitfalls. Your generosity of spirit, solid design aesthetic and excellent bookkeeping skills all had major positive effects on our venture together. The trades’ people that you got to know during the completion of the work similarly speak highly of their experience.
We look forward to an on-going professional relationship and are pleased to have you continue to refer Endes Design Inc. to colleagues, friends and neighbours.
All the best,
Leslie Alexander Endes B. Arch

Dear Toronto Renovator,
I am dismayed to hear that your experience was so poor. As I recall we had some fairly difficult obstacles to overcome during the project and overall it is my opinion that we suceeded rather well. Our mutual investigation into sustainable products and processes certainly had some glitches and the finish schedule was prolonged by a few unfortunate circumstances. However, in the end, our co-designed undertaking bears the mark of both our efforts.
I appreciate that you single out my associate Richard Anderson as a saving grace within the context of the undertaking as I too hold him in high esteem.
With best regards,
Leslie Endes
