Bill designed and constructed over-sized single garage, on time, on budget, workmanship outstanding. Included solid concrete pad, framing, siding, finishing, electrical, powered door opener, three windows, and full electrical. Superb.

Company Response:

The garage / workshop combo worked out really well functionally; and, that it is designed with architectural details evocative of the house we Designed and Built for you a few years ago makes it really fit your lifestyle. Thanks for the opportunity to work with you again. It is always a pleasure.

We are currently going through a complete renovation of our 2-storey home – a top to bottom, inside and out full gut. We enlisted Laura Pollard of Bravehart to help us with the design, which we are so very pleased with. Laura is very passionate about design and thoughtful about incorporating good design with functionality. She really takes the time to learn what your wants and desires are and challenges you to see what your home can become in a collaborative working process. Through this process, she came up with different visions and designs for us to consider. When faced with a tough decision, she will go above and beyond to help you make the decision so you are comfortable with the outcome. For example, choosing a stucco colour from the book of mini samples was a challenge for us. She took our final choices and had larger samples created so we could visualize it better. Having Bill Wallace at the table during the design phase was also very helpful as he was able to point out what can/cannot be done based on the design and within ones budget right at the onset. The privilege of having this knowledge at the design phase helps to save time and money in the long run. People say home renovation is a very stressful process; Laura and Bill have gone above and beyond to minimize that and we are truly enjoying the process and excited for the outcome!

Company Response:

It is a pleasure to work on your home transformation. Going from a suburban layout to a modern space is a fun challenge and you have both been great co-creators. The final space will be so open, bright - with nature flooding into your home - we can already all see the difference from 'Before' and 'After'. Having the patience to examine details that make the final product makes you great clients / partners in this journey. Thanks for your confidence and kind words.

We are more than pleased with our beautiful kitchen because of the skills and talents of Bill Wallace of Bravehart Building. The kitchen in our 1920's era home required a complete renovation. Bravehart had previously done a flawless job of renovating our main bathroom. Bill's team removed the old kitchen including the walls,floor,ceiling,wiring, plumbing and hot water radiator. The Bravehart team was mindful of keeping everything as clean and tidy as possible. Bill is onsite each and every day and efficiently deals with the unexpected, hidden problems that reveal themselves in old houses. Bill was able to reconfigure the hot water heating, add gas lines, relocate and install new plumbing for the sinks, completely re wire, move doorways that required seamless patching of plaster, install a tin ceiling, hardwood flooring and perfect tile work, and remove a window and cleverly conceal the exterior opening. All of the members of the Bravehart team are hard working and respectful. Bill remained true to his original quote and timeline. We look forward to having Bravehart Building handle all of our future renovations.

Company Response:

It is a pleasure to work on your projects as the Design detail you bring to the project is outstanding. Thanks for the positive review. We love to work on your spaces because they look so beautiful at the end point!

This is the third time we have used Bravehart for a renovation/addittion. The design advice we got from Bill was excellent. Fair price, good value, on time, as quoted, no surprises. 5 out of 5 !!!!!

Company Response:

Thanks. It is always fun working with you and the first snowfall is always an event!

We moved into our new house and called Bravehart immediately. They provided Design/Build on our last house and we loved it! Laura is helping with design of our main floor; wall colours, furniture, accents, storage. Bill is taking care of a full basement renovation for my daycare business. They have also created plans for a future major renovation where we will take our single story house and add a bedroom/bathroom level on top, for our growing family. We will be applying for permit for a future build with Bravehart. Can't say enough good things about their ability to make a home more functional, beautiful and their organized approach to Design/Build.

Company Response:

It will be enjoyable to work together again. Phasing this work will also make it easier on your family. Can't wait till end of Year 2 when we have completed everything! Thanks for your continued business and trust in our ability to deliver.

When it was finally time to renovate our tired 3 piece master bathroom, I knew Bravehart Building was the company to call. Bill & Laura had previously transformed our kitchen in 2010 so we welcomed them back into our home to do their magic once again. Laura guided us through fixture & finish choices, layout & ergonomic decisions and safety features we will appreciate as we age. The result is stunning (custom vanity, tile combinations, stone countertop) and practical (insulation, new window & fan, heated floor, shower bench & grab bar). We were once again delighted with Bravehart's integrity and dedication to client satisfaction.

Company Response:

It was a pleasure to work with you again. Not sure there are many more areas to renovate in your lovely house. It is always an exciting Design/Build project with you. Thanks for the review!

Bill has been really helpful throughout our home buying process. He came out to a few prospective houses and helped us come up with an estimated cost of the things that we wanted to do. When we finally purchased a home and started on our first project, we gave him a call. We were opening up the wall between our dining room and kitchen. He moved the necessary ductwork and piping out of the way and then installed a beautiful exposed wood beam and matching counter top. We're very pleased with the work!

Company Response:

Thanks for your feedback and it was a pleasure to help you find the right house- one that can be transformed into the home of your dreams!

We recommend Bravehart Design phase 1 for those who want their renovation to be more than just moving a wall or two or selecting finishes. Laura Pollard challenged us to think about the composition of our space in its entirety and suggested innovative design options. While our budget limited the extent to which we could follow those recommendations, those suggestions prompted us to rethink our initial scope of work. It was a productive exchange. Having Bill Wallace contribute regarding the feasibility and labour involved in certain design options also helped tremendously with this design process. Together Laura and Bill make a great team. Thank you both!

Company Response:

Thank you for your help in 'working the process' and understanding that investing money in renovations is more about getting it right for now and for the future. We believe that having clarity in Planning at the outset is critical to success and to project control (Time, Money, Quality), which is why we combine Design & Project Management in one Planning person who works closely with our Construction experts.

Work was always done on time at a very high standard of quality. Being the owner of an old home many things requiring repair were found during constuction. When problems were found Laura and Bill were always very innovative in finding multiple solutions that would suit our tastes and budget. Laura and Bill were always available whenever we had questions or concerns and were extremely vigilant in keeping us up to date on all work being done while we were not at home. Overall, the quality of the work was outstanding and the finished product exceeded our expectations.

Company Response:

Thanks for your comments. The fact that we encountered water infiltration issues from both the roof system and foundation system did present a challenge- and did increase the budget. Our attempt to make it right, without going too far with demolishing decaying surfaces and rebuilding them, did allow you to get a safe and lasting house at a moderate repair rate. Your ability to assess the approaches and provide immediate direction helped keep the project functional and relatively affordable. Thanks for your help.

We hired Bill at Bravehart Building to gut and completely redo our main bathroom in our traditional home. He and his men did an excellent job on all details involved, including tiling, trim, plumbing, and electrical. We are hiring Bravehart again to undertake our kitchen renovation. We can recommend them without hesitation. J.S. in Chaplin Estates

Company Response:

We appreciate working with clients who have a good sense of design and know what they want to see done. We look forward to working with you again as it is a pleasure and the end product is always beautiful. Thanks for your confidence in us.
