Alta Vista Full Home Renovation

Joseph & Ruth’s Renovation Journey
Objective
Full customisation of a 1960's bungalow to suit our clients' needs. Design and build a new bathroom/laundry room where a bedroom once was, back door entry, new kitchen, windows, fireplace, and more.

We first met Joseph and Ruth at the 2017 Ottawa Home Show, where they shared their vision for transforming their home. Together, we decided to tackle it in stages – starting with re-purposing a bedroom into a spacious new bathroom and laundry room. The project was completed exactly on time and on budget, setting the tone for everything that followed.

That first success earned us the privilege of continuing renovations throughout the rest of their home. Along the way, Joseph and Ruth stayed comfortably in our Airbnb, making the process smoother and less disruptive.

Working with them was a true pleasure. They valued the effort, attention to detail, and results we delivered – and we valued the trust they placed in us.

Testimonial

We met Philip at the Ottawa Home Show in 2018 and while we had discussions with other companies, he impressed us right away with his knowledge of all aspects of the building trade and his ability to provide advice on design. We initially hired him to turn a bedroom into an additional bathroom in 2018 and because of the excellent result we have gone back to him on several occasions in 2019 and 2020 with other projects in and around the house. Each time we were impressed with the work for a number of reasons:-the design process is very co-operative with Philip making suggestions to ensure that we got the best information to make an informed decision;-he hires the best people in the building trade, either directly working for his company or third party contractors; they were invariably very good at their jobs while at the same time Philip would supervise them to get the result we wanted; when at times things did not work out exactly as initially expected, which is normal when working with a large number of subcontractors and suppliers, Philip would always explain what had happened and ensure that the result was exactly what we had contracted for.-We have no hesitation whatsoever to recommend Philip to anybody who is looking for high quality work for a reasonable price.
