Live Design Renovation

HomeStars can be intimidating - everybody wants to find a great contractor. We had several proposals, but Live Design Renovation had the best vision (with renderings), a reasonable budget, and a promise of being on site every day until the project was complete.

We took the plunge and couldn't be happier. The crew was on site every day and left it clean each time. They were friendly, respectful and beyond capable. All issues were resolved quickly and with great results. The crew had great suggestions for any problems encountered.

We turned our old popcorn-ceilinged bedroom into a beautiful space with cathedral ceiling and office nook. They saw things that we couldn't envision - they suggested we take dead space from our hallway and we incorporated it, making our downtown home truly feel like it has a grand main bedroom. While they were constructing the cathedral ceiling, we truly felt they were artists.

We recommend Ricardo and his team 100% and would hire LDR again in a heartbeat. From the beginning, it was clear that his goal was to provide us with results we would be thrilled with, and that's what we received.

Ricardo was good to work with. The job was done efficiently and he was flexible as to our schedule. We were pleased with the result and his team was conscientious as to clean up.

As a general contractor, Ive worked with Ricardo and his team on a few different projects now. Live Design is an incredibly efficient and pleasurable company to work with for any Millwork needs. Ricardo is a very honest and hard working person that I will continue to work with for years to come.

Ricardo and his team did a very professional and timely completion of finishing our unfinished basement. I recommend him and his team highly for the following:
- Discussed our requirement and shared some design options via 3 d renderings which made it easy to visualize the outcomes
- Visited every single day with his team to provide instructions and progress
- Has a good knowledge of anticipating challenges and shared them upfront
- offered the flexibility to get our own materials and adjusted the cost accordingly
- Went out of his way to look for find options to suit us - Eg the brick tiles
- Was willing to accommodate some changes as we progressed
- Very friendly attitude and he took a personal interest in ensuring customer satisfaction
- Cares a lot about his team as well - looking after his main guy when he fell sick
We had an amazing experience with him and would highly recommend him

Our basement bathroom was in total disrepair - original fixtures and tiles from the 1950s! Ricardo updated it, removed partial walls to open up the space, and added a built-in wall unit. Very friendly, honest and work was completed in good time.

I hired Ricardo and his team to fully renovate a 3 bedroom bungalow into two 2 units. He was very professional and I was happy with the quality of his work. The project was also completed in a timely manner. I was very happy with the renovation. I highly recommend this company for future renovation.

I hired Ricardo and his team to complete a full house renovation. They were responsible for demolition, removal of a load bearing wall, renovation of all bathrooms, addition of a bathroom in the master bedroom and kitchen. His team completed the work in a timely and professional manner. I would highly recommend Ricardo!

They did such a great job and were quick and efficient. The team Design Renovation did a great job. They showed up on time, worked hard, cleaned up, and completed the projects quickly and as scheduled.

Ricardo and Live Design Renovation were wonderful. We needed a new access to our backyard and they converted a window opening in a french door. Also, they built for us a new stairs to connect two decks in our backyard. They are reliable and extremely efficient. I strongly recommend them.

Existing kitchen was not functional, half of the space was wasted. Ricardo did a complete redesign which used the space to its full potential. Cupboards, countertop, hardware, etc. were top quality, everything matched beautifully. Work was done on time as promised. Minor problems resolved. Great customer service, thanks.
