Great Job on our Kitchen Renovation
When we finally decided to have our kitchen updated, we contacted a few companies for quotes and design ideas.
Oakwood’s designer presented the only functional, and the most attractive design, that fit within our budget.
Oakwood also provided a list of suppliers, which assisted us considerably and made our part of the job much easier. The
spread sheet they provided spelled out exactly what decisions we had to make and when they had to be made. They
even took it upon themselves to find a company to perform an energy audit for us, after we had been unsuccessful in
finding one who could perform the audit on short notice.
The work started when we were told it would and by the end of the first day our sorry old kitchen was reduced to
a shell. The rest of the project went smoothly, and most delays occurred due to unforeseen circumstances (Quebec
construction summer shutdown), and our own decision to replace knob & tube wiring that was discovered during
demolition.
The workers were all top notch and professional. Special thanks to Trent, Stephanie, Sharon and Patricia for their
patience. Weekly meetings with Trent kept us informed of progress and eased concerns, and design changes or
construction concerns were promptly addressed and resolved. In fact, in the evenings when we inspected work that
had been done during the day, we occasionally had an "issue" with something. Quite often Trent would point out the
exact "issue" to us before we had the chance to mention it to him.
After watching renovation horror stories on television, and living in a house built in the late 1930s, we were half
expecting to live our own horror story. Luckily for us, there were very few problems. As renovation ‘virgins’, we could
not have asked for a better company to guide us through the process and to perform the work. Oakwood’s attention to
detail was very much appreciated and as they say, it is the little things that make the difference.
We now know why Oakwood has been in business for so many years and why we see so many of their signs in our
neighborhood. Our only complaint is that we have to wait a year or two before embarking on the next renovation
adventure.
