One year ago my wife and I took possession of our new home. We moved from a large house in Hoggs Hollow, downsizing to a retirement community just outside the city. The new house had a large but modest kitchen that was part of a great room, dining and living areas, with large hallways as part of an open plan upper level. A kitchen renovation was in order. Finding Wolstencroft Kitchens was pure serendipity. From our first meeting with Dave Wolstencroft we both felt that we had met someone who listened to our needs. It was clear that the project was more than just a kitchen but would involve the whole house. We are rather particular/demanding about how things should be. In bringing a complex job to completion I was amazed at how much went into design, selection of materials, and overall attention to seemingly minor details that one year later seemed obvious but are essential to the overall elegance that this project created. Everyone that Dave brought in to work on this renovation was top notch and contributed to the finished product not only with their individual skills but with their suggestions too. Why have we waited one year to write this? When we moved in we were overcome with the beauty, grace and functionality of everything, a little overwhelmed. One year later, we feel the same only more so. We know that this is a truly great place to live. We would like to thank Dave Woolstencroft who through his expertise and love, to turn this house into a very beautiful home “A house is made of bricks and stone, A home is made of love alone.” David and B.J. Hancock

We used Wolstencroft Kitchens in the fall of 2011 to renovate our kitchen and laundry room. We were specifically looking for someone that would manage the entire project and coordinate the various trades in a timely manner so that we would not be without a kitchen for longer than necessary. We were extremely happy with the final result and Dave and his team (Jen, Don, Ray and Steve) were professional, courteous and helpful throughout the project. Everything from the tile work (Mike) to the cabinetry (Ray) was beautifully done. After living with the work for close to 17 months now, I am happy to say that everything has held up very well and any minor tweeks that have been required were promptly dealt with. The project was completed in a timely fashion within the budget which had been outlined at the start of the project.

Company Response:

Suzanne & Keith, thank you for taking the time to review our work. It is very helpful to have you report looking back at the project on how well our product and after sale services performed. We are all very appreciative of your kind words, and wish you many happy years ahead in your home. Best regards, Dave.

We initially embarked on a kitchen reno not sure what to expect. Dave made the entire process from design to completion a real joy. Dave was central to all phases of the reno, he suggested a contractor - Lowell Binstock who was also an invaluable part of the reno. The two worked very well together, making all parts of the reno stress free. Dave tried hard to work within the budget and we appreciated this. Dave made great suggestions throughout the process on all aspects of the design. The quality of the cabinetry is exceptional and the ultimate outcome has been more than we had expected. We have also appreciated his follow-up on outstanding issues and know that he will always be available for questions or issues that may arise. We have completed a number of renos in our home and we have really appreciated the importance of good communication , professionalism and flexibility , all that Wolstencroft offered!!! Thanks to Dave and his team!

Company Response:

Thank you Tanya for your kind words. I'm glad we could be there to answer all your questions and concerns throughout the process. Our team hopes you will create lots of memories in your new kitchen! Thanks very much, see you soon. Dave

The price that I have given for the reno includes the fees of the contractor and of a designer, as well as Wolstencroft Kitchens. Dave Wolstencroft was central to all phases of the project: the four of us hammered out the design together and he was on site day after day while the work went on. Several things impressed me about the way he worked with the others and with me: (a) he listened, and would later make suggestions based on the ideas that he had picked up from us (not on his own preferences); (b) his attention to detail was awe-inspiring; and (c) if he has a temper, I never saw it--he seemed always easy-going and accommodating. The final result was beautiful and on budget, so I am am very contented customer.

Company Response:

Hello Heather, thank you for the very kind review of our work! We certainly had something special to live up to in your beautiful Cabbagetown home. I'm so glad you were pleased with the result as well as the process to get there. Working with yourself and the designer, Tim Johnson, was a colaborative pleasure which lead to a great design with all the right details. I wish you many years of enjoyment! Best regards, Dave.

Wolstencroft Kitchens renovated our entire kitchen and main floor powder room - from the studs to the finished product - and worked tirelessly to produce an end result that matched our vision. Dave's impressive knowledge and understanding of how to build a kitchen, along with the expertise of all the team, has produced a beautiful finished kitchen and bathroom that will stand the test of time. I appreciated how hard everyone worked to incorporate my design ideas - we have an innovative and extra-large custom pantry cupboard, gorgeous custom side-board and hutch, a farmhouse sink, custom range hood and mantle, and beautiful tile work on the floor and backsplash - not to mention the gorgeous cabinetry from Moralis, the fabulous Caesarstone countertops and all the behind-the-scenes things like plumbing and electrical work. Everyone took care to keep the work areas clean and tidy and to respect our home as they worked in it. Thank you to Rae, Ron, Chris, Mike, Lowell, Nigel, Dan, Don and especially to Dave.

Company Response:

Thank you Sandra! Great clients make it easy to get to a great result. Best regards, Dave.

We're very happy with the work that was done in our house. Timelines were delayed and ran a couple of weeks behind, but I guess we had a smaller project. It is quite nice to deal with Dave, the owner, from inception through to designs.. Chris is pleasant to deal with during installation and even offered to help us research for a very specific type of hinge which is not readily available. Overall, I would indeed work with them again and also recommend.

Company Response:

Thank you Joanna for taking the time to write a very nice review of the work that we did at your home. We hope you enjoy the new wall unit. Kind regards, Dave.

David and his team of professionals provided a timely, quality and thoughtful renovation to my home. The living room went from blah to wow almost overnight. I would most certainly recommend WOLSTENCROFT's KITCHEN LTD.

Company Response:

Bridget, thank you for taking time to write a testimonial for us! I'm so pleased we were able to get your home in shape for the wedding party on such short notice! Years of enjoyment! Call me when you are ready for the kitchen. Dave.

We had our entire kitchen renovated last year, and we are thrilled with the results. Dave exceeded my expectations at every point in the project and took ownership of the process from start to finish. Organized and professional are two words I would use to decribe my experience. Dave is so knowledgeable about how kitchens should be designed, he was an invaluable resource in the design. If you ask his opinion, he will have one! He also worked closely with our contractor to ensure a smooth installation. Nothing had to be returned or reworked, and all my cabinets are still as good as new to this day. Unbelievable, with two kids, and all the people and parties we've had over the last year. It's the centerpiece of our whole house, and we get nothing but complements. Thanks again Dave!

Company Response:

Michelle, thank you for your endorsement! It means so much to us to have very happy clients and is great to hear we have succeeded again. Many thanks for your business and support, Dave.

MY experiences with Wolsencroft Kitchens have been exceptional! They have helped us through several renovations of our home. The advice throughout the process and the quality of their products is what I have appreciated most. They provided excellent advice on where we could save money, and where it was important to invest in quality. They were right! Our kitchen, bathrooms, and custom built-in units look and function as beautifully as they did the day they were installed. I know that with their help we made the most of our budget. I wholeheartedly recommend them!
