Kitchen renovation

We’re very happy with our beautiful new kitchen. The team from Home Options Made Easy did a great job. James was our main contact during the project .He was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. He and the whole team seem to be very hard workers. Alyx was very helpful with design decisions. We were impressed with the various trades people who worked on our kitchen as it was transformed day by day. Looking forward to hosting the first Christmas dinner in the lovely new kitchen.
Thank you James,Luke,Alyx,Peter,Matt and all

Kitchen Reno - Cabinets

We had ordered kitchen cabinets from them back in February. Took them a while to place the order, forgot to order parts of kitchen and ordered incorrect parts. They were very unorganized and made this a terrible experience. I would not recommend!

Hi Ashley,

We are sorry to hear you are not happy with your experience. Once we finalized the details with you the kitchen was ordered the next day. As for the missing parts, this was a misunderstanding between us on how you wanted to finish the fridge section. We then ordered the extra parts you wanted and got everything taken care of. From our last communications, we were under the impression that you were very happy with the final product and so you can understand our confusion with your review. Please let us know if there is anything we can do and we will be more than happy to accommodate you. Contact us either by phone 705-503-4663 or email info@homebarrie.com.

KItchen and dining room renovation

My experience with this company and contractor was excellent. Starting from the quote, to the finish, it was a wonderful and event free experience. The design team was great at giving us ideas and respecting our vision too. The GC Cardin, who ran the kitchen, dining room, and other small renovations that were done, was easy to work with, very professional, and hard working. The follow up service was better than expected with all concerns dealt with quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend this team for your next renovation.

Kitchen reno

They are great with ideas but follow thru is terrible. on my third counter top and a very expensive bookcase that was to go under counter top is garbage. The contractor did not countersink a screw. Now it has a nice gouge and big scratch. They had to rebuild my dining room wall because they measured wrong. this is now a 7 month project and I will be doing business with another company for my bathroom. I don’t want them touching anything else. It’s a same because they are a Canadian company and use Canadian products.

We are sorry you feel that we didn’t do our very best on this renovation as we strive to give the best experience for all our customers.
The first countertop was a misunderstanding of how you wished it to be finished. The countertop was removed and replaced with the desired overhang. The second one had a manufacturers blemish and so the Countertop Supplier replaced and reinstalled to which you expressed the seam was not to your liking. The countertop was installed by the best laminate countertop place in Barrie and the owner assured us that it was a standard seam as laminate countertop seams are glued together with bolts to hold them flat. As this is not quartz or granite there is not a way to eliminate feeling the seam a little bit.
The scratch on the bookcase is a very easy fix as it was built here in Barrie from our custom cabinet builder and the top can be replaced within a few minutes. Please contact us to arrange replacement of the top.
The wall extension was due to a measuring error unfortunately. When this was brought to your attention you were asked if you wanted the two end cabinets remade or if you would rather extend the wall a couple of inches to keep the larger cabinets. The decision was made to extend the wall and that you would take care of the painting after the patch was complete.
Again, we are sorry that you are unhappy with our efforts to make you happy with your new custom kitchen. We wish you well with your future renovations.

Great Team, Excellent Work, Very Happy!!!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Luke, James and the entire HOME Team to redo our kitchen and main level...if we could give them 11 stars we would. From concept, to installation the HOME team exceeded every expectation and Luke's design to maximize our space blew us away....we absolutely love it and love entertaining in our new kitchen! Luke said he wanted to knock it out of the park and they did. You can shop around, but for quality, budget and overall pleasure to deal with HOME is your one stop contractor to suit any project.

Kitchen Renovation

To the Staff at H.O.M.E.

Just a short note of heart-warming thanks for remodelling our kitchen. Wikipedia defines 'Interior design' as the art and science of enhancing the interior of a space to achieve a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing environment for the end user. H.O.M.E. has done this for us and we are truly grateful!

Rebecca's vision, clever choice of many Canadian-made products, and devotion to go beyond the call of duty when working with busy suppliers combined with Luke's and James' skilled installation and coordination of their drywall, electrical, HVAC and plumbing associates has resulted in an incredible end-product that continues to impress us and visiting friends and family.

Thanks, again for our 'dream kitchen' - it was worth the wait! We wish you well and hope you realize how special the work you do is. This is a team that can deliver dreams if entrusted with conceptual design, superior products and execution, however, allow sufficient time for delays in this demanding market.

You're always welcome in our home.

The Duquettes.
