Complete 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom home renovation
My wife and I hired Somerset Construction (Graeme Sperber) in the summer of 2006 after purchasing a house built in the 1960's which required updating in every possible way. We worked with Somerset Construction, Architect (Richard Wengle) and Interior Designer (SG Designs) to compete a complete gut and rebuild of the entire interior and some exterior work as well. Somerset were an absolute pleasure to deal with and completed their work on time without sacrificing quality. I have renovated many time before and would definitely use Somerset again in the future (I can't say the say for anyone else I have ever used). Graeme was always easy to deal with and resolved problems (unavoidable in a renovation this size) in a very business like and timely manner. His trades were all skilled workers and all had very competitive pricing. Lastly, Graeme has been excellent in clearing up any deficiencies in workmanship, after the job was complete (very few).
BEWARE of this renovator! I used this company to redo a master bedroom, guest room and master bathroom. They went way over budget and what was supposed to be a 8 week job turned into 5 months. I knew somthing was wrong when my custom vanity was taking 4 months to be ready. Laurwill and Matthews was extremely hard to work with, had little knowlege of constuction, Trades were not supervised properly and quality control was non-existant. They frequently left my house at the end of the day with the doors unlocked (thank god nothing was stolen). They are not cheap to begin with, then, every change you make WILL COST YOU $$$$. Once the main work of the job was complete they took off and wouldn't return to complete the definciencies and small finishing work. Talking about finishing work....they were completely out to lunch! They pretty much ped the ball on the fine details. They have little knowledge of existing products that could make your reno look better. I finally had to fire them and finish the work myself. I would never use this company again.
