conversion to single family dwelling
We love our renovation. It is crazy but we all sit in the bathroom and say how much we love our new house. We used Leslie's services first to obtain ideas and drawings to convert our house, which had been chopped up into apartments, back to a single family dwelling. We then quickly realized what a pleasure it was working with Leslie and he ended up doing the design work as well and overseeing the whole project. This involved moving walls, taking out a bathroom, moving plumbing and creating a new bigger bathroom, laundry room and hall way. We love the result. It is exactly what we wanted. Even though some of our ideas were rather unworkable to most tradespeople, Leslie listened to our vision and made it a reality. He designed a bathroom that was true to the period style of our house and to our needs as a family. For instance, he pushed hard with the tradespeople to get them to think our way and put in a fabulous laundry room under our stairs that works perfectly. He did it all with respect and as sense of humour. That combined with his technical and design skills was exactly what we wanted. Morevoer, he was easy to communicated with, always got back to us with answers to our questions immediately and made sure the project was completed to our satisfaction. There were some delays that were no in any way his fault (damn those tile companies) and he problem solved to get us back on track. I think his fees were fair and we certainly got value for our money and move over got an end product that makes us happy. We would definitely work with leslie again on our next project (if he would have us!)
