A & R Renovations Inc.

Excellent service and quality work! Highly recommend.

We hired Alex from A and R Renovations to complete a substantial renovation in our home which included removing a structural wall to create a new kitchen. He also renovated our ensuite and updated our stairs, the laundry room, powder room and family room with a new media unit, aside from many other updates to our home. From the start, Alex was professional, friendly, hardworking and extremely competent. From beginning to end, we were always happy with the progress of the project. Alex and his team of workers were highly skilled and took pride in the work completed. Alex worked diligently through the renovation, making sure to stay on schedule and on budget. He was clearly very organized and good at scheduling the work to be done. He listened to our ideas and concerns and was always very accommodating, making sure that we were satisfied with each phase of the project. Not only would we recommend A and R Renovations to our friends and family, but we would definitely use them in future projects again. It was a pleasure to have worked with Alex from A and R Renovations and we are incredibly happy with the end result. Thank you to Alex and his team for making this renovation a positive experience and for bringing our vision to life. We love what our home has become and will enjoy it for many more years!

The renovation was actually an enjoyable experience, always told in advance what to expect. Company takes pride in its workmanship, and never a problem if midway, we needed to make small changes. Always answered our questions and actually encouraged to ask. Very punctual, cleaned up at the end of each day. I was impressed, you can tell they like what they do and came within budget-what more can I say.

I have worked with other contractors in the past. Alex is the only contractor to work for me more than once. First in 2012 when he put in a basement, and now in 2016 completely renovating our ground floor. No doubt we will again get other quotes in 2020 (hopefully sooner) and again find Alex to be very competitive. But beyond competitive, Alex is utterly trustworthy, extremely knowledgeable and executes a project excellently. What he says when he sees a potential job vs what other contractors say when they see the same potential job is very different. No garbage, no hyperbole, and interesting insights and observations that other contractors just don't make. Alex is also very clear in agreeing Change Order costs before proceeding. He also keeps the job site very tidy (as tidy as a construction site can get!) - again, this is very instructive as to his professionalism and commitment to keeping the client happy. To summarize, Alex is on time (really), on budget (really) and on the whole good to deal with (really). No large renovation is easy. There are always twists and turns and bad surprises when things get uncovered. That is a reality. But Alex will do what he can to minimize your blood pressure rising.

Going with Alex / A&R Renovations was an easy choice after interviewing several different contractors. We started with just the bathroom and 2 bedrooms downstairs as a trial, and I quickly expanded the scope to include the remaining 2 levels in the house based on his work. The major reasons for my strong recommendation are: Good documentation, Prompt communication and follow-up when decisions are needed, Always available for advice / consultation, Willing to work with your vision and budget, Very clean / tidy, Quick resolution of any issues. Highest recommendation!
