Design and Build Companies in Arnprior, ON

“We had no prior relationship with Oakwood, but were impressed with the quality of staff that we dealt with, from the first contact through to the finished renovation. We needed a variance to be allowed to obtain the proper permits and John Liptak, owner of Oakwood was instrumental in obtaining this on our behalf. Without his personal interest in our renovation, we would not have proceeded with the project. John also gave us the benefit of his years of experience with various suggestions for our room. Our design specialist was wonderful, offering many unique ideas for us to consider, always offering various solutions to meet our budget. We particularly love the windows and paneling in our great room. The quality of the work was top notch. The wood craftsman assigned to our project did an exceptional job on the ceiling beams and the paneling. Dave’s work makes this room so beautiful and unique. The project manager was very knowledgeable and worked on our behalf to make sure that all the little details were dealt with to our satisfaction. Trent was very responsive to our needs and concerns. We can speak to Oakwood’s integrity and professionalism. They wanted the addition to be a room that we would be take pleasure and pride in for many years to come. We truly marvel at the room each day when we enter it. We are very satisfied with our experience and relationship with Oakwood.”

“We hired Gordon Weima Design Builder and his associated trades based on a recommendation from our architect. Mr. Weima served as the project manager. He was responsible to hire the trades, monitor their work and schedule, and oversee the construction budget. The project at hand was to build a modern addition to an existing century old house and modernized the interior of the existing house. The house is located in a heritate district of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The work was performed pursuant to the specifications as outlined in the plans provided by the architect. By the end of the project, the living space increased by 75 per cent. Mr. Weima and his trades did excellent work. Apart from a situation out of his control, the work was completed on time and within budget. He was able to schedule his trades to ensure that there would be no down time between the various phases of construction. This enabled us to plan for our move back into the house. We very much like the work that he and his trades did. His after service has also been very good. During the construction phase he took the time to point out some deficiencies that normally we would not have observed. Also, during the construction phase, he took the time to walk us through questions/concerns that we had and advised us how he would address the matter. Mr. Weima also kept the construction site clean and ensured that his trades did not encroach on the property of adjacent neighbours. We would welcome the opportunity to work with Mr. Weima in the future should we decide to undertake a similar project in the future. I would invite you to seriously consider Mr. Weima as part of your construction plans, whether it be to build an addition or new house. Mr. Weima will deliver you a quality product which I am certain you will not be deceived.”

“JBR gutted and redid my kitchen in Nepean. Their crew was respectful and efficient. They got the entire renovation done within my budget and timeline, being sure to leave me without a working kitchen for as little time as possible. I will be rehiring them for future projects.”

“Working with Tomar Homes was a great experience. They really care about their clients, and will go that extra mile to ensure their clients are taken care of. I'm glad Brian and & I had the pleasure of working on select projects together.”

“J. Pallen & Son's Construction were very professional, organized and detail-oriented while building our custom dream home. They worked with us from the initial design process to completion. They were always quick to respond to questions and were extremely knowledgable in all aspects of home design and construction including the latest technology, such as Insulated Concrete Form ( ICF ) foundations and Energy Efficient materials. They were innovative to accommodate special features in our home, such creating a niche in our kitchen cabinet wall that allowed a full size 36" fridge to appear as a counter depth fridge as well as a two-sided fireplace in the Master Suite that could be enjoyed while in the soaker tub. J. Pallen & Son's also designed into our home the ability to have wheelchair accessible features such as a rough-in for an elevator and a barrier free roll-in shower should the need arise. We were so happy with their craftsmanship and dedication that we had them come back to complete a portion of our unfinished lower level and are planning another project to be completed by them in the near future. This company definitely has a passion for home building and we highly them for all projects small and large.”

“NKBA has wonderful information to help all businesses and designers with the consumer in mind. The Ottawa NKBA chapter meets on the average once a month with professional trade seminars and product knowledge from suppliers. The social aspect helps me to grow and understand our local consumer and their needs. We also help the students at our local community college with these NKBA meetings as the students learn different aspects for their new career and socialize with the professionals as they will seek employment in the future. The Ottawa NKBA has an annual designer excellent award (DEA) which also helps to raise funds for our local community college in the NKBA program and reunite us all together for a fantastic soiree and celebration.”

“We hired Design Cube to redo the kitchen in the house we'd just bought. From the planning, design, budgeting, demolition, rebuild and instillation everything went as hoped. The design team was responsive to our needs and the crew was extremely professional. The kitchen is everything we hadn't dared hope for. We are absolutely delighted. We hope to do an addition in the next two years, we will definitely be working with Design Cube again.”

“They rebuilt my finished basement and it looks wonderful ! It had been destroyed by a hot water tank breakage. This family business worked with me, and made my ideas work for a reasonable price. They were punctual, respectful and kept the project within budget. Any work that exceeded the original estimate, was discussed and additional estimates were made and agreed to before they proceed. To summarize, Kirk at Castlecorp does great work! However, their professionalism and ethics are what really sets them apart.”

“The team of builders provided a friendly and excellent service to me over a 10 month period tearing down an existing structure and replacing the old with a new design build. The team collaborated well with the architect/designer delivering an exceptional product. I profile this beautiful house as an architectural gem on the banks of the Gatineau River - industrial chic, east meets west in design. The project was completed on time, with expertise, high quality workmanship and good humour.”

“Thank you, Shiva. Our house looks STUNNING! We were very impressed with your knowledge, attention to detail, commitment to service and above all your understanding and flexibility to our taste. You helped us develop our ideas, rather than forcing your own concepts on us. This in our opinion makes for an excellent Interior designer. We give you a 10.”
