Basement and Office Millwork

I am many months late writing this review, but felt it was important to to do so in any event given how great the customer experience was for the projects that they designed and constructed in my home. Another reviewer has already commented on these very projects (hence the similar pictures), but speaking from the customer side I can confirm that everything that was said about Pulsar Design in that review is 100% accurate.

6-8 months after the installation of the larger unit in my basement and 5 months after the installation on my redesigned office I remain entirely satisfied with the craftsmanship and quality of these units and all the work that went into them. Both were custom pieces and yet were installed seamlessly to match my home and look as if they had always been part of the design. Every feature that I asked for was included, the team that did the installation was professional and Lillian was amazing at coordinating everything over the months that it took for all of these plans to come together.

Anyone who is looking for custom pieces for their home needs to consider the Pulsar team, they do phenomenal work.

Office Millwork

I recently worked with Lillian from Pulsar Design. She was professional, prompt and very responsive. As an interior designer myself, I enjoyed collaborating with her on my own office studio storage unit. She took great care in ensuring I was happy with the custom colour and the install was fast and efficient. Any issues that arose Lillian went above and beyond to problem solve on the fly and it was clear that they care very much about their craftsmanship. I recommend them to my clients all the time.

Contemporary Kitchen Design

We loved working with Lillian and her team! The quality of the cabinetry, the attention to detail and the number of design options at our initial kick off were simply awesome. Lillian made sure everything was perfect to fit both our vision and our budget.

She was always open to our ideas and have great suggestions for pairings from cabinetry colour, countertop options and with our backsplash and hardware plans.

We had some adjustments to make with our contractor and our door/wwindow placement and ductwork, and Lillian remeasured and made sure that everything would fit and work perfectly within the new space. She even helped us smartly hide some of our ductwork within the design.

Kitchen Renovation and Main Floor Renovation

We highly recommend Pulsar Design for anyone who is searching for a company that provides top quality materials, highly professional design advice, extensive renovation experience, and precise installation. During our initial meeting, Lillian listened to our ideas, and incorporated them into her drawings. As a matter of fact, she created several innovative layouts for our kitchen, far more than any other kitchen designer that I had consulted! After we narrowed-down our selection, Lillian produced beautiful renderings to help us visualize the design, which we found extremely helpful. When we decided to expand our renovation to include updating our staircases, powder room, main floor laundry room, living room, dining room, and the main floor hallways, Lillian made suggestions and collaborated with us to create more functional living spaces. She recommended competitively priced retailers and wholesalers, and even accompanied me to their showrooms. She provided personal assistance and design advice when I was selecting flooring, countertops, cabinets, windows, baseboards, crown molding, door handles, coat cabinet doors and more. She also managed the extensive contractor's work which included relocating our ductwork, plumbing, widening doorways, constructing LVL's, 2 coat cabinets, removing carpet, sanding, and staining our staircases, installing new railings, pot lights throughout the main floor, kitchen windows, and the subsequent masonry electrical work. Lillian went above and beyond and meticulously planned our dream kitchen, gorgeous laundry room, powder room, and entire main floor. Approximately 1 year has passed since the renovation, and all of the cabinets and other materials have endured beautifully. We are extremely pleased with our kitchen and main floor renovation and would not hesitate to recommend Pulsar Design.

complete makeover of our basement

Lillian, Vlad and their team at Pulsar Designs did an absolutely amazing job for me in gutting and renovating my basement. The space has been turned into a beautiful living space which includes a fireplace and a media/tv/movie room. The built-in cabinets and mini-kitchen area are so beautiful and quite functional too. Lillian is one of the best space and cabinetry designers I have worked with. She is responsive, innovative and always customer focused. You will not be disappointed with Pulsar Designs, Inc!

Thank you very much for the great review!
We greatly enjoyed working with you! Your basement is beautifully transformed into a new gorgeous living/family room and it does not look like a basement. It is a great addition to your upstairs living space where your family can gather and enjoy.

We appreciate the opportunity to design and execute this renovation for you.
It has been a great pleasure to serve you! Enjoy the space and please stay in touch!
Best, Lillian

complete kitchen renovation

Although there was some communication issue during renovation process, our kitchen renovation was done and I enjoy cooking meals everyday in the new kitchen. The quality of the materials and fit and finish are exceptional. The good thing working with Pulsar is that there is a team of contractors and cabinet installer working for Lillian. It definitely made our renovation much easier than we expected. Lilian tried to accommodate my needs and was able to find many custom solutions to make the kitchen more efficient, but one thing I wish i had was to have the sink in the centre of the window. Thanks Lillian

Thank you very much Yoko for your review! We are very happy to hear you are enjoying your new kitchen as your layout was created specially for your way of cooking after 4 different layout options that were presented.

Regarding the sink we made you aware that it will make your sink off centred to the window with the sink size you wanted.You decided to go ahead with bigger sink anyway and I am sorry to hear you are regretting it now.

As for the communication issue I apologize if you had that impression. We always try our best to be very specific and are very responsive to any requirements.This was never brought to our attention at the time of renovation and it has been over a year since your project was completed. Please contact us as we would like to hear what in particular that you think it was a communication issue so we can clarify.Thank you again!

Bathroom and walk in closet renovation

hLillian at Pulsar is a wonderful designer. She took our very awkward hall, walking cupboard and principle bathroom space and combined it into an extremely elegant and very functional single room, with floor to ceiling cupboards. The design is unique and makes wonderful use of our space.
Lillian managed the subcontractors, got us different quotes and managed the purchase of the fixtures, tiles etc. The built in, very bespoke cupboards fit our high ceiling space perfectly and are beautifully made.
This is the second significant project I have used Pulsar on and the results both times were a wonderful combination of function and visually appealing design.

most beautiful kitchen!!!

Pulsar was the best decision we made for our Reno project. We had an idea of what we needed for our kitchen but Lilian has an eye for what is the best and she made sure we'd be happy by presenting not 1 but 10 different options we never would have thought possible! The final product is absolutely stunning and every inch is perfectly crafted. These people care for what they do and deliver perfection. If "the best" is what you want, wait no longer!!
