Rick from Calgary

Alex is honest and professional. He repaired holes and damages in old plaster and lathe and skimmed smooth old popcorn ceilings throughout our Old Ottawa South home. He also kept our home clean in the process something that is difficult with plaster. The walls and ceilings now look perfect. We have no hesitation recommending Alex Peraza Drywall.

From 4 awning companies quotes we chose the Awning Factory in Calgary as they provided competitive pricing and left us with the best feeling over all. After visiting the show room we agreed to a slight upgrade to the Classic with Marcesa Beam. As it turns out the Marcesa Beam requires 8 feet minimum of height. As a result the product as installed resulted in a cave like feeling on our 7'8" height installation. The Awning Factory were very quick and professional to resolve the issue and provide a great Awning for our deck. Customer support is critical. My experience shows that the Aning Factory care about their customers. Thank you.

Josh and the team at Copper Brook (especially Anslem) have our deepest gratitude. They stepped in to finish our kitchen renovation after another contracted failed to provide services. The members of the Copper Brook team are skilled and their attention to detail and professionalism were a godsend. Every step of the project was clearly set out, budget expectations were met and the renovation was finished on schedule without any issues. Today we have a beautiful kitchen which meets all our needs and continues to receive compliments. We would highly recommend Copper Brook!

The President of V.I.P. Construction, had agreed to demolish, design and construct a kitchen for my husband and me. The "designer" he brought in was unable to provide a kitchen design, still we did eventually agree on a design, signed a contract in our home with V.I.P. Contruction in October 2012 and that the work would commence in January 2013. We signed the contract and gave V.I.P. Construction a 50% down payment in October 2012. In February 2013 cabinets were installed that did not match the design. The president of V.I.P. Construction had started out stating that he did all the work, but in fact V.I.P. Construction subcontracts out 90% of the work - the cabinet making, staining, electrical and plumbing were done by subcontractors. We're glad the electrical and plumbing were done by subcontractors, as anything V.I.P. Construction's staff (a couple of 18-year olds) touched, would go wrong. We insisted the wrong cabinets be removed; which they eventually were in March 2013. In April he promised in writing to have the kitchen completed by the end of May. In July 2013 (7 months since kitchen was demolished) we still had only cabinet boxes, partial electrical and partial plumbing. This was the case up to August 2013. The cabinet boxes have been stained on-site with a rag but the young 18 year old stainer stained over pencil lines on the boxes, and used the wrong colour stain. Due to lack of work/response from V.I.P. Construction, in early June 2013 we filed a complaint with the BBB. Numerous promises had been made in writing as to when the whole kitchen would be completed (in March we were told end of March, in April we were told end of May, BBB was told mid-July) which ended up being empty promises. After 7 months with no kitchen and no timelines provided (which wouldn't have been worth the paper they were written on), we considered the project abandoned and moved on with a new contractor. We're likely to have to take V.I.P. Construction to court to get back our downpayment. Update end of 2013: This company is also calling itself VIP Custom Cabinetry and operates also in Saskatchewan.

We recently had 11 windows and a patio door installed by EcoLine Windows in our Calgary home. The attention to our recently painted and carpeted areas was very good. Some customizing was required as some window profiles were not the same as those removed such that inside trim would not cover the opening. The installation crew resolved this with some drywall patching .. They did a great job. All debri inside and out was removed. We would certainly recommend EcoLine Windows.
