“The maison d’etre design-build inc. team did an exceptional job on my renovation project.
The project involved an extensive renovation of a 2-bedroom condo including the kitchen, 2 bathrooms, flooring, lighting, etc.
The initial planning/concept development process focused my general vision into a detailed plan. Rob Capar’s input and recommendations were on point. The process was useful to understand the scope of work involved, determining the project’s budget, and making practical decisions.
The design team was responsive to my ideas, provided knowledgeable, practical advice and recommendations, then incorporated it all into a beautiful design plan.
The renovation team is top notch – professional, organized, great workmanship and attention to detail, excellent communication throughout. The Strata Supervisor was very complimentary of the maison d’etre design-build inc. team’s compliance with the strata rules regarding renovations.
Overall, the entire maison d’etre design-build inc. team is outstanding, and the project turned out great.”
