Demolition / Hacking Professionals in St. Albert.

“Randy McCoy, Retrofit Designs did a major renovation to our home. My wife started the process by contacting him a couple of years ago. After meeting with Randy, we had to put the project on hold for two years. This past Spring we are able to give Randy a call to proceed with our dream reservation. What was initially started as a kitchen tear out (taken back to studs) and total renovation, expanded to include renovated main floor powder room, ensuite tearout, total reconfiguration and renovation, & upstairs bathroom renovated. We worked with Randy, and Interior Designer, Rosalyn Lazaruk to put together what best suited the balance of design and cost. Randy and Ros putl together a plan that covered our wish list and budget. Timing was agreed with a 12 to 14 week construction schedule, Mid June through August. No renovation is fun. We planned to have alternative accommodation during construction though I did stay in the basement during some periods of construction. The other thing about renovations is that there is always something else. Our renovation cost was based on certain assumptions that were not the case when the kitchen was torn out. In our case, we needed to add a structural beam and post in the basement and kitchen. Randy can up with a solution that included having a structural engineer agree with solution and sign off on it. This could have been a very upsetting experience but Randy lead us through it with the best possible solution. As with all major renovations adjustments and changes took place. Randy's communication skills made this a comfortable experience. During the renovation, we added items not directly connected with the renovations (changing light fixtures in hall and basement), leveling of doors in basement, painting of living and dining room ceilings. All completed to our satisfaction. Randy's main crew, Derek & Jurgen are exceptional workers and were a pleasure to have doing the renovation. They were mindful about keeping the non construction areas of our home as clean as possible. There are always going to be differences of opinion. We had three issues, a kitchen faucet, the sub floor heating of tile in ensuite, and mirrors in the ensuite. These issues were discussed and corrected measures were taken to our satisfaction. Randy would invoice us on a bi weekly schedule with a clear schedule of costs broken down for materials and labour. Are we happy with our renovation? We are ecstatic over it and so thankful for Retrofit Design, Randy, Ros, Derek, and Jurgen. Highly recommended.”

“Pieter renovated our en-suite bathroom. His attention to detail was excellent. The tile work was done perfectly. He is able to do many things, such as the plumbing, electrical, drywall, and installation of the vanity and shower. Everything works great and looks amazing.”

“My family and I have used D-Trac Construction on several occasions both on renovations for my residential rental property and for consulting purposes regarding my family owned commercial warehouse. Pat and his crew completed a renovation on my rental property that entailed drywall install, painting and finishing package. During the renovation, they were on-time with the repairs, stayed on budget and worked around my Tenant's schedule and requests. Pat was always readily available to answer any questions and was also kind enough to address some minor water damage issues at no extra charge. Because of the great experience had during the renovation, my family and I hired Pat a few months later to act as Consultant on our behalf regarding our commercial warehouse. With a new tenant in place and issues left behind by a previous tenant, we were required to conduct a Phase 1 Environmental Assessment and Asbestos Analysis. Because of Pat's knowledge and certification in Asbestos and previous Disaster Restoration experience, he was the right Professional to act on our behalf. He was professional at all times in dealing with both Tenants and Environmental Companies and ensured that our best interests were never compromised. I highly recommend D-Trac Construction to future clients for both residential and commercial construction needs.”

“Cross Country Builders are extremely knowledgable and experienced with creating and building custom homes. Their team of trades people are true craftsmen who are passionate about their work and it shows in quality and detail. Most important to us was that our home was on time and on budget and, we had regular communication with the team. This included formal build meetings at specific completion points to our very frequent phone calls or emails - and they always answered their phone or promptly returned a message. They worked hard for us, advocated for our needs when necessary and ensured our money was spent on what mattered to us. I will build with them again but until then, my next call to Cross Country will be a renovation project!”

“Granada is an extremely helpful and friendly contractor. I currently work for 6 different renovation companies and put them first on my list in all categories.”

“We highly recommend Homes by Managen. The company has been friendly, reliable, knowledgeable with high quality workmanship and construction materials. Construction is not complete, however dealing with their vendors has been a pleasurable experience. The vendors are well organized and help make selections easy. There has been no cost overruns. Building a new home can be a daunting experience, Homes by Managen has made the process easy for us. We hired an independent inspector who found minimal problems to date. We are very excited to take possession of our new home.”

“H & S Jones rebuilt our home after we lost all but the foundation in a fire. We couldn't be happier with Harvey, Mike, and the team. At a very stressful time in our lives, Harvey took the time to carefully plan the details with us and was very eager to listen to what we preferred. He did his best to accommodate our wishes and he explained the process every step of the way. He was clear on the timeline and the budget. Mike was very knowledgeable and excellent to deal with during the building process. In addition, he responded to any issues we had (which were only minor), literally for years after it was built and at no cost to us, even if it wasn't clear that the issue was from the building. It was our third time having a house built and it was by far the best experience. Thank you H & S Jones!”

“Intrigue Builders aka Rob was the guiding force behind a renovation of my home that added a full standing wet bar to my living room area along with converting an empty bedroom into a ‘superbathroom.” As part of a successful trifecta, the outside of my house was recovered with insulation and vinyl siding. Rob organized each tradesperson from a bottomless pit of contacts that he seemed to have. Like any renovation project, mine was the typical journey rather than the destination. Each step of the way, and always driving 12 seconds ahead, Rob found the right balance between making the end product as perfect as it could be, and never losing sight of the big picture, which was how that end product would ultimately make me a satisfied customer.”

“Stone Solutions Inc, was a Fantastic company to deal with. Amer worked on my house, he was professional, and very easy to deal with. He came prepared. I needed some stone work done around my fire place, he came in with samples and showed me what would look good, he had great advice. I hated the way the wall looked before. Now I cant stop staring at the wall and the fireplace. I would definitely recommend Amer & Stone Solutions to whom ever is looking to get any stone work done in or around there house. Thank You Amer!!”

“Delightful Family based company who are jack of all trades. It was great to have all the resources we needed for the exterior renovation within one company. They did siding, stonework, deck design and build, cement work and landscaping. I’m a perfectionist,and was very happy with the quality of work.”
