Serenity Construction Ltd

We hired Serenity Construction to replace our very old cedar deck. 8'6 x16 ft with one set of stairs and wood and metal spindle railing. We provided the spindles. We chose this style of railing because it suited the house better than an aluminum railing.
We live in an older community and we didn't want to invest a lot into a deck that might get torn down with the house when we are finished with it - about 10 years. We asked for MicroPro Sienna preserved wood. More comments on that later. We met with the contractor and explained what we wanted. The quote we received did not have a lot of detail but the price was fair. He did not make any suggestions to upgrade the railing material. The crew arrived on site literally at dawn - 8 am in late October. They worked fast and efficiently and were finished before 4 pm. While the overall build was very good and solid, there were some issues with material placement. Saw cuts toward the end of the day were very rough and splintered indicating a dull saw blade. Exposed cut ends were not sealed. Because the deck was more than 2 ft above grade, we asked for a building permit. The contractor applied for the permit for just the cost of the permit. There were no problems with the inspection. Notes on Material: MicroPro Sienna preserved wood decking is widely available in the city but it is not premium wood. We had bought several fence posts in the past few years and thought we knew what to expect. The 4x4 fence posts that we received were some of the worst we had ever seen. They were clearly intended to be used in the ground and it is the only option that MicroPro offers for this size. Had we known they were so bad, we would have asked for a different option for the railing posts. Two of the posts have huge gouges out of the side and were very splintered. They faced the deck side, not the outside. When we pointed this out to the contractor, he said he ordered extra for circumstances like these and he didn't have time to hand pick materials at the suppliers which is understandable. He may not have a choice of material, but he did have a choice for placement. He offered to come with his sander. He wasn't very happy about it so we decided to trim them ourselves. We will build up the corners with epoxy next spring. If you have a straight forward deck with an aluminum railing, I think this contractor will do a good job. For anything beyond that, make sure you get a detailed estimate and read it thoroughly. Don't assume anything.

Wes and his team took on the project of completely gutting our aging bathroom and making it into our dream bathroom. Wes was very easy to work with and his estimate was spot on. He was very communicative throughout the project and was very respectful of our home. The way the bathroom was transformed in just a week is unbelievable!! We are beyond happy and would trust Serenity Construction with any other home reno that we may have in the future.

We had a composite done design and built by Wes. He did amazing job; on time and on budget. We love it and spend most of out time on it.

I am so impressed with how the deck turned out. Wes and his team were very fast, efficient and professional. The project was completed in one day! The site was left in excellent condition. It proves to me that it is totally worth it to leave these kind of projects to the professionals.

Wes and his team build my 26×10ft deck quickly and efficiently. I will definitely refer him to my friends.

Thank you Wes and Team! I couldnt be happier with how my new deck turned out. You did a fantastic job making my vision a reality.

End to end, you run a fabulous business. I wish you every success.

I will come looking for you again should another construction project arise.

We love our new pergola! It is amazing and we will use our deck so much more!!!

We hired Wes and his crew to replace our fence upon the recommendation of a neighbour. We had previously contacted two companies that had high ratings here, but neither had the courtesy to respond at all.

Wes was very professional and thorough, checking with us about all the details, and explaining things to us, when needed. He and his crew were ready to begin four days before the estimated start date (our last fencers came five MONTHS after their estimated start date). They had the job done with 2 days. This was great, as it minimized disruption to our household, especially to our dog.

The crew did a good job and were courteous and cleaned up the job site well.

We are very pleased.

Are you looking for that old fashioned well trusted and experienced workmanship. Serenity Construction, Owner Wes Martens is that guy. He was a real pleasure to work with, attentive and followed up with what he said he was going to do. We were selling our house and needed it spruced up to sell. We ended up getting more than our asking price large in part to how well the renovations went. I can't say enough about working with Wes and his team.

I have also used him for other projects in the past and I would not hesitate to use him again or to recommend him to friends and family. Thanks again Serenity Construction!

Delivered on time and on budget. Easy to work with and in constant communication.
We are happy with our new space and everything went well ... Wes was professional, listened to what we wanted and his attention to detail and ultimately the finishings met and exceeded our expectations!
