“Hired LIDA Homes for roof and gutter renovation work. Project completed on time and on budget. Workers were personable and showed great attention to detail.

“All the support posts for our car port were rotten and needed to be replaced. The estimator from Kerr came over and reviewed the project. We discussed my requirements: demolition, post replacement, cedar siding and plexiglass windows. The estimate was acceptable and I gave the project the go ahead. Shawn was the contractor for the project. He was very pleasant. We reviewed the job and discussed his suggestions, all of which were positive. Shawn raised some concerns after the demolition. This resulted in additional work and materials. I was very concerned about the overruns but after conversations with Shawn and Dave I agreed to proceed. The end result is excellent. I will use them for future projects and would recommend them to anyone reading this review.”

“I am a tile subcontractor with repeated business from John Stevens owner of Wildwood Homes. Each job working with John has been a great experience. Bidding, building, project completion, and billing have all been well organized and on time. John is a very knowledgable and professional contractor. I have noticed he has strong eye for detail and is always full of unique, creative ideas in the planning stage of projects. I have also noticed on his job sites that the other subcontractors he hires are all skilled professionals in their trade and take pride in their work creating a pleasant, productive work environment. He has great communication skills and a calm, friendly, reassuring personality. I highly recommend Wildwood Homes.”

“My business is located in an old brick building. In the middle of a roofing project, we had a call from the roofer explaining that they had exposed seriously degraded brick work around the top of the building, and that it was not structurally sound. I called Mike De Palma from Flintstones as I was driving to the office, and his foreman actually beat me there! Understanding that the re-roofing was very time sensitive as the building was exposed to the elements - the Flintstones crew jumped right on it. They got the job done on schedule and on budget. Every interaction with Mike or with one of his crew has been great.”

“Steve and his crew at Made to Last Building Renovations did the installation of our commercial millwork in the Shaw Retail store in Victoria. The project was very complex containing wood columns, hanging wood bulkheads, oversize wood panels that needed to be scribed to drywall. Steve and his team had no difficulty with this install and executed it to a high level of quality. Communication was really good, they answer their phones when I need to get a hold of them and they are proactive on updating us on the status of the job. We are based out of Calgary AB, so it can be difficult to manage a job from out of town, Made to Last pretty well managed the entire install of the project. Billing and was fair and professionally done and there were no change order surprises. We would most certainly use Made to Last Building Renovations again in the future and are happy to recommend them to anyone looking for a solid, honest, quality oriented contractor.”

“When considering a professional to design my family home, I was looking for a professional who would take the time to understand and capture the essence of my needs and dreams, and then render them into a creative and aesthetically beautiful design while delivering a practical, space and cost-efficient solution. Scala exceeded my expectations in all fronts. I can not recommend them enough. Their professionals amass a wealth of experience in design and construction solutions acquired in various geographical locations throughout North America, consolidating a unique perspective that blends the beauty of architectonic solutions with the efficiency of civil engineering design. Natural light, efficient spaces, working with the unique natural surroundings and characteristics of the lot, are just a few of the outcomes you can expect. Happy building!”

“A friend whose home I really like (design, feeling of solidity and comfort, use of natural and/or recycled building materials) strongly recommended her builder to me, Michael Dragland, so I contacted him. I had asked my friend "what about the problems building contractors are legendary for, such as not keeping appointments, being flaky, not communicating well, and so on" and she said the communications with Michael were one of his strong points, one of the things she had been the most happy with. Michael prepared some sketches based on the ideas I gave him (I had a certain floorplan in mind inspired by a house I had owned previously), we chose a "look and feel" that we wanted to be unpretentious, understated, elegantly simple. Now, everyone who comes over says the LOVE our house, how it looks and feels. Our house feels as solid as a rock, like it will last forever. From a fir tree that had to come down for the site, the many and beautifully-visible posts and beams (exterior and interior) were cut from that tree, along with I would say 2/3 of our interior framing lumber (which Michael chose to make thicker and wider than convention, for that more solid long-lasting feel). The other specialists (besides the saw-miller) who Michael chose were the best .. he knows the right people to ask .. the grading contractor, the tree experts (we had some limbing done), the interior painters, the custom window maker, the buy who tiled our bathroom, etc ... Michael has got a team of amazing collaborators he was worked with, ad labourers that he has worked with whom I trusted, were polite and professional, showed up when promised, cleaned up when finished, did not overcharge us, earned my trust and future recommendations. Each Friday Michael and crew cleaned up, swept the house floors, tidied up the site. He efficiently brought in a construction tent (or two) where everything was neatly placed or stacked. His crews did not toss litter everywhere like I've seen on many sites. As much as possible all "used" wood was recycled ... instead of the usual on-site dumpster that gets full and trucked off to the landfill with used and discarded bits of framing wood, trash/garbage was kept to a minimum and Michael made sure to re-use as much as possible. For example, the plywood sheets used to "form" the concreted basement walls got re-used as sub-floor materials for the main floor, most of the 2x4s were similarly re-used, and Michael re-purposed the scaffolding planks (used to install upper windows and siding, etc.) for a large interior built-in desk-top and a couple of built-in wall-benches ... as much as possible, stuff was re-used instead of sent to the dump. We love our home. It is peaceful, solid, and zen-like. It was a pleasure working with Michael and with every one of his team-members that were brought in to help. I referred a friend, she engaged Michael for a major renovation/room-addition, and have recommended him to many others without hesitation -- Michael Dragland is a great choice for home-builders who don't want to generate excessive waste and who believe in recycling and reusing materials when possible to reduce environmental impact.”

“Melissa and Charlie were great to work with. We had two renovation projects completed with them. From the first meeting to completion communication was open and easy. Projects were on time and on budget (one was early and under budget!). Trades were well managed and skilled. Construction space was kept clean and workers were respectful of the fact that we were still living in the home. I highly recommend them.”

“We have worked with Urban Roots Build Co on a number of client projects, and we can't recommend them enough! They're kind, reasonable, and pay attention to design details with care. We always appreciate their focus on education so our clients are consistently left with an end result that meets their unique needs. Certainly the right team for your next construction project.”
