Little Star Renovations

I am extremely happy with the kitchen remodel that Little Star Renovations did for me recently. Despite the fact that I live in the Comox Valley and their design team is in Vancouver, the process was simple and efficient with regular email communication.
Jobie and his team listened to my ideas and feedback and designed an improved living space by opening up walls and adding finishing touches. I was new to remodelling a kitchen but they supported me through each phase, providing me with suggestions to help in my choices.
All of the local trades people did amazing work and were very friendly.
I left on a holiday during the renovation, knowing it was in good hands. Coming home to a beautiful new kitchen and flooring was the best welcome home gift ever!
I love everything about my new kitchen and living space, thanks to Little Star!
I would highly recommend Jobie and his team to anyone looking for high quality work performed in an efficient and professional manner.

Little Star renovated the downstairs bathroom in our Vancouver loft back in 2021, and we were so impressed and happy with it that we recently had them renovate our ensuite in late 2023.

It isnt just the high quality of the work that drew us to them, its also the people: Jobie has assembled an amazing group of professional, all-around lovely human beings. From Holly, Patty, and Pedro on the design front, to Pip cheerfully guiding us through unexpected budget changes or product unavailability, Sam keeping the project moving, and to Ian ensuring our place never looked like a haphazard construction zone (and for having the magical ability for keeping our cat calm) every person involved helped make it a consistently low-stress experience. We hope to work with Little Star again, and highly recommend you reach out to them too.

We had the good fortune of choosing Little Star for our renovations. The end product is stunning and we couldnt be happier with it.
Kudos to Jobie for having an outstanding team: The designers who humoured me through many changes, Pip who was irrepressibly cheerful through the budget re-dos, Sam our project manager who tackled unexpected issues with creative solutions and was undaunted by changes I requested on the fly, Sam's assistant Clarissa who kept communication flowing, and Ian who took such great care of our property and put the finishing touches on everything with obvious pride in his work.
The team was professional and delivered high quality work. Little Star provided a detailed milestone-based payment schedule at the outset which was adhered to strictly. Any changes for extras were clearly discussed so there were no surprises. Frequent communication minimized the stress of the renovation.
Thank you, Little Star.

We hired Littlestar to renovate the ensuite bathroom in our house in Seymour neighbourhood. They did a great job; very responsive communication and high quality work (tiling, electrical, plumbing and coordination of trades). Highly recommend.

My project was to combine two adjacent ground floor condo units, a split level artist live / work loft, and a small single level unit, previously used as my office. A key element was combining the two electrical panels into one so we could relocate the bathroom to make room for a doorway between the two units.

Since I had been contemplating this reno for many years I had developed quite a list of ideas. The design and budget steps used by Little Star Renovations during the planning process very skillfully helped ensure that my wishes and wallet overlapped sufficiently to make the renovation a reality. They subtly offered many suggestions along the way that allowed me to determine where it made sense to spend or compromise.

I decided to sleep in the upper level of my condo and use the shower at my employer's nearby office so I could devote more money to the actual renovation. This gave me the opportunity to see the trades people every single day during the entire construction phase. It was very easy to see the expertise that each person brought to the project.

The biggest challenge we faced was getting the development and building permits, which was way more complex than expected. For example the city required that we measure the height, width and depth of each individual bicycle locker in the entire building AND count how many bike supports were mounted vertically up from the floor and horizontally out from the wall.

While I still don't understand what that had to do with relocating my bathroom, to their credit, Little Star Renovations persevered through the entire lengthy permit process. Without their dedication this project might never have happened.

I would not hesitate to recommend Little Star Renovations.

Great group of guys. Found them on Instagram. Sam was great. Very responsive and on the ball. Patty was good to work with as well for design inspirations. Given Covid they took all the necessary precautions and worked safely throughout. They never said no to any requests.

We recently worked with Little Star on a condo kitchen and bathroom renovation. From the very beginning, Little Star was both patient and supportive throughout the entire experience. This being our first renovation project, we admittedly had plenty of questions for which Little Star not only addressed, but also often provided additional guidance or solutions. Process wise, everything was very transparent and well documented, from the agreed upon project budget and timeline, to the responsibility of each party member. Unfortunately, not long after the project began, the COVID-19 pandemic provided a new set of unforeseen issues. Despite the challenging circumstance we continued to feel supported, with frequent updates on any impact this may have on our project. Jobie, Sam, Ian, and Pip, were a pleasure to deal with. Any issues were dealt with on a timely matter with a high level of professionalism. We would definitely work with Little Star again on any future project and would not hesitate in recommending their services.

Six months ago I did a bathroom renovation using the pouring method and my expectations were met. I was very worried that all this would be long. The next day guys came to me and in a couple of hours they did everything in the perfect way. Mom is extremely delighted. If you need a good bath renovation, quality and affordable prices, you know where to go.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Little Star Renovations. From start to finish they were total pros and took great care of not only the project and our home but our family too. They also helped us design our dream kitchen; first by turning our dreams into a vision and then making our vision a reality. Their in-house team were stellar and the subcontractors they brought in were all pros. They finished on time and within budget. We love our new kitchen and will use them again for any future projects.

Just as winter was coming on in 2017, we bought a well-laid out but battered 20 year-old condo to begin our downsizing process after 35 years in a heritage home. Jobie was the first contractor not to blanch at the size of the job – rip out both bathrooms and the kitchen and completely redesign them, replace all the flooring, remove the spackle from the ceilings, and build floor to ceiling bookcases throughout. And he was brimming with creative ideas that we would never have come to on our own.
Of course there were glitches and yes, the work ran months overtime, but the outstanding artisanship of Dave , and his team, responsible for creating all the millwork we requested, and Paul , whose tile work in the kitchen, bathrooms and the floor to ceiling fireplace surround are beautiful beyond belief, prevent me from dwelling on them. I open my eyes on beauty every day.
Sam, our site manager (and his highly efficient assistant, Ian) is a wonder of charisma, energy and enthusiasm, moving swiftly to correct the occasional imperfections that have revealed themselves over the months since we moved in. During the construction itself, he was everywhere at once, ever-smiling, calm and professional, soothing our worries and charming our condo neighbours to be.
The creation of our beautiful, much smaller new home, is 5-star work in my estimation.
