Tenmore Property Services Inc.

We became aware of Tenmore a couple of years ago when they were doing work on the balconies of our older White Rock condo. Compared with many other construction contractors we had dealt with, they were professional, courteous and performed their work on time, with minimum disruption.

An older family member also owned a condo in the White Rock area, and when ill health forced their move to a seniors complex, we were asked to list their condo for sale. After 6 months listing their condo with zero offers, we knew that renovation work to the 2 bedroom, 1100 sq ft condo was required to appeal to a broader range of buyers.

We contacted Craig at Tenmore and reviewed the condo with him and gave him our ideas and our realtor's ideas for giving the condo a major makeover. The work entailed:
- replacing all interior doors (including closet and pocket doors) and door casings, with new painted doors and trim.
- removing original rubber baseboard moldings from the unit and installing new wood baseboard moldings and paint.
- paint all interior walls.
- replace older lights, electrical switch plates and receptacles with new items. Also installation of ceiling light fixtures in the two bedrooms (previously neither bedroom had ceiling light fixtures)
- replace vinyl flooring in the laundry room
- replace lights, flooring, cabinets, sinks, toilets, countertops, plumbing fixtures in both the main and ensuite bathrooms with new items. The bathtup, shower and tiling were original, but still in good condition so these were not replaced.
- complete renovation on the kitchen. This entailed removal of all older kitchen cabinets, plumbing fixtures, appliances, etc. to completely gut the kitchen. New flooring, cabinetry, stainless appliances, sink, dishwasher etc were purchased and installed.
- The only reno hiccup involved installation of a microwave above the new range - the selected cabinetry would have placed the microwave too close to the cooking elements for safety, so we had to omit this item.
- complete cleaning of the condo after the renovation work was completed.

Condo strata councils can be tricky to deal with, but Tenmore kept the council happy, abided with their wishes and we received zero complaints.

All the above work was done within less than 2 1/2 months from our initial contact with Tenmore, and the condo was not listed during this period from December 2012 to late February 2013. The work was done within the promised time and within a few % of the original estimate.

All family members who viewed the newly renovated condo were impressed by the quality of workmanship, the greatly improved appeal, and the cleanliness of the unit. The condo was put back on the market with higher pricing and within 10 days we had competing offers, and sold it for very close to our listing price. We recovered about 90% of our renovation cost, so we consider the renovation to be money well spent.

Based on our experiences to date, we have no reservations with recommending Tenmore and we would definitely use their services again.

We met Craig from Tenmore Property Services when he was doing deck replacement work for our White Rock condo strata association. We asked him to renovate / update a bathroom for our condo. The quality of painting, tiling, plumbing, trim and electrical work was very good and the selection of materials was a good match for our specifications and budget.
The work by Craig's team is superior to other contractors we have used in the recent past and Craig was very professional to deal with. When the job was finished, Craig arranged for our suite to be cleaned. He is a strong communicator, took full ownership of the project and met our timeline and budget.

I would like to thank the Tenmore Property Services Team for doing a wonderful job in replacing my 30 year old bathroom. I love it! Craig's taste in materials, colors and textures is superb. Trevor is skillful in his workmanship. I enjoy watching my friends reaction when they view the tiles. Their eyes light up and they have a huge smile. I highly reccommend the Tenmore team!

Professional from the word go. Prompt in giving an estimate, very friendly and helpful in selecting materials, and gave us a short time to wait for the work to be done. My wife and I left on a short holiday while they replaced our countertops and kitchen sinks, plus some other sundry things.
We came back to a much improved kitchen that we can be proud of, and everything was intact as far as our possessions are concerned. A thoroughly trustworthy owner and crew. On the whole a very good job done for a very good price.

I have wanted to extend our patio space for 3 years now and finally had it done yesterday (literally)! The men were here for 2 days and did a fabulous job!! Craig recommended using exposed aggrigate and I am so happy he did. Our new patio looks wonderful and several neighbours have been by and are also very impressed with the job. I can hardly wait to use it! I also asked Craig if he could rush the job as I wanted it ready for my birthday celebration and he made sure it happened. I had absolutely no mess to clean up - I can go out and enjoy it NOW!!! Thank you Craig!

I bought a 1993 court orderd house in mission - I hired Tenore to repaint the interior, build fencing around my deck b uild a dog room in my garage and a number of small jobs to bring the house back to its original condition. The did a great job and showed me cost effective ways of achieving the same good results for less money. The crew were efficeint polite and very professional. I would recommend them to anyone who would like to do home renovations.

I also hired Tenmour to fiz up my old home for resale. The did an equally good job repainiong, re - carpeting, replacing sinks and counters to bring the house to good condition so I could sell the house. I am very happy with trhe results and they came in on budget.

through both of these projects they wer on time finished ion budget allways followed up to make sure I was satisfied. I would like to thank Craig and Trevor for thier greart work ethic.
