kar from Vancouver

i called simon from csl cathay services to add some accent lighting around my fireplace and downstairs bathroom. this was a smaller job but simon was polite, knowledgeable, reasonable in price, and managed to install lighting on my delicate plaster walls. csl cathay services also offers renovation services and at a later time i called simon back to a renovate my downstairs bathroom. he listened to my ideas and renovated my bathroom according to to my wishes. i was so pleased with his services i later hired him to construct a room in a part of my unfinished basement. as with all the other small jobs i hired him for, he constructed the room exactly as i wished.

we shopped around at many floor suppliers and found that home depot offered us the best price during a home improvement sale for canadian manufactured maple hardwood flooring by dubeau. we were worried that the store would not carry the 2000 sq ft we required for our renovation project but the store flooring manager told us she can order the required amount from the supplier directly and make sure that the material would be from the same dye lot. we were very impressed with the personalized service, even at this big box store. the delivery charges are also extremely reasonable.

i wanted to paint the outdoor trim to match my new window frames. i brought in a sample of my window trim to general paints arbutus store and they were able to "colour match" the item perfectly. this process took a few hours but was well worth the wait.. the staff called me at home when the perfect colour match was created so i did not have to wait at the store.

i brought my bathroom materials such as bathtubs, toilets, and faucets from this showroom. the sales person adele was very helpful and knowledgeable about all the products. i was also shopping with a very limited budget and she was able to help me make purchases within my budget .

tanya the designer of mango designs is amazing. she is young, very forward thinking, and designed an aesthetically pleasing , light filled, original additional to our house. our house is situated on a pie lot and the city mandates that the new addition top floor can only be 60 percent of the allowable main floor. even on such vancouver city restrictions she managed to design enough bedrooms and bathrooms to meet our growing family and managed to give us an amazing roof deck. very happy with her creativity and service.
