Kitchen

My parents had their kitchen redone about 3 years ago, being a new contractor myself I didn't have much say in what went on, however, as the work was going on at the end of everyday I could see things that weren't correct. Now down the road 3 years there poor workmanship is really showing. This of the list of problems:

- Crown molding is falling off the ceiling
- Electrical outlets out of code, within 2ft of sink without a GFI.
- No corner bead used on drywall corners
- Tiles un-level
- Wrong calking used.
- No clips used for under mount sink, it is not falling down off the granite counter
- Transition threshold far above tile
- No venting on exhaust fan

I would really think twice about using this company, it has costed my parents quite a bit of money to get all these imperfections fixed in what was supposed to be a dream kitchen but turned into a nightmare. Its really a shame that a company could do this to people, especially such major problems such as electrical. Think twice and really do your research to find a good, honest, reliable company.

Company Response

At Cando Renovations we take pride in our workmanship. We will repair any deficiencies within a week of a call or E-mail from a customer. In this case when the project was completed, everyone was very happy with the final product. There was a separate cabinet company that installed all cabinets,crown moulding,countertops & sink. I'm sorry to hear you are haveing problems, but was very suprised to read this review 3 yaers later without having heard any compaint up untill now. We have a 2 yaer warranty to give customers ample time to report any problems. While at the same time protecting ourseves against fraudulent claims down the road. Iam not saying your claims are fraudulent, but they need to be reported to us within a reasonable amount of time. Again sorry to hear of your troubles. I hope you understand our position in this case.

Yours truly Bert

Bathroom renovation

We had our bathroom renovated about 3 years ago. They did a good job but they didn't tape off the work area and, as a result, there was dust everywhere. The workmanship was fine, they showed up on time, and finished on time but the dust was annoying.

Company Response

I'm glad the you are happy with the work we completed for you.
Sorry for the dust problems. We did do the best we could . We were working in a very small area and it is very dificult to stop dust from traveling throuh your home. The most important thing is that you are happy with the final project. In the future we will take better care of the the dust problem.

Yours truly Bert

Basement Renovation

Cando did a really good job on our basement renovation. The work quality is very good; the reno included a large open family room, bathroom, workroom and sink, bedroom, storage, and wetbar. We were extremely happy with the final work. Also the whole team was respectful and easy to have in our house. I'd highly recommend Cando.

Ceramic floor installation and kitchen windows installed

Bert and his company installed ceramic floor tiles and new baseboards over most of the main floor of our home. They also replace all the windows in our kitchen area.

The person installing the ceramic tiles was especially fussing about making sure that each tile and cut was perfect. Bert made some suggestions regarding the layout and design which we implemented and we were very pleased with the final outcome. We have received many compliments on the work.

Cando was professional, courteous and completed the work on time. They cleanup up after the work was done.

We were very pleased and plan on using them again to install some hardwood flooring.

Basement, shower

Cando Renovatations finished our basement in 2005, replaced our ensuite shower in 2009, and have also competed numerous smaller projects for us. We have always been very impressed not only with the standard of workmanship, but also the advice and recommendations that Bert and his team provides. Reliable and trustworthy, we would definitely recommend this company and would use them again.

Built a deck in my backyard

I had Cando Renovations build me a deck approx 10 years ago. They completed it within quote provided and within the weekend as promised. The deck has held up very well over the years of use. Since then we had Cando Improvements replace our windows and again the service was exceptional. I would use this company for any other home renovations I might consider in the future.

windows replaced

WE GOT 6 ESTIMATES FROM LOCAL CONTRACTORS. CANDO BY FAR CAME UP WITH THE BEST SUGGESTIONS FOR RENOVATING THE STYLE OF WINDOWS. WE WANTED CERTAIN THINGS AND BERT ASKED WHY DO THAT WHEN YOU CAN DO THIS AND MORE REASONABLE. WE WERE MORE THAN SATISFIED HOW IT ALL TURNED OUT. NO EXTRA COSTS AND ON TIME MATTERED SINCE WORK DONE IN WINTER WEATHER.
