He answered the questions I had and then reduced the price to a very fair cost. They came and did the work, no issues, no hidden costs, very knowledgeable and friendly. They inspect the system every year, they did find an issue at one point and replaced the concern without blinking an eye. I'd use them again if I needed at another home. I'd give a ten star rating if I could. Jason M

While we hired…read moreLarry to do the painting, he is an experienced contractor and shared all sorts of wisdom with us as he worked with us. He shared invaluable advice to solve both big and little problems that cropped up. And he went above and beyond to ensure we were completely satisfied with our paint.

We are thrilled with the results.

I called and personally interviewed 5 different contractors. While showing them the work project, I got a feeling for who would do the best work. I am glad my instincts were correct, because when I hired Kayne Kempton (Canadian Contractor Services) I expected good work, but I think I just got the best contractor in town! The work was finished in good time, and, especially with my feature wall, I was very surprised to see that the end product was so good, I could not see any markings left from the patch work! Like new! Thanks, Kayne! He was polite, took great care to set up properly so as not to leave any marks, and carefully cleaned up after each visit. It was a pleasure to have him in my home. I would highly recommend him for this kind of work. Gladys Teske (senior widow)

UPDATE: I wrote this review a year ago, and have since had Eric do a whole bunch more work. His…read morework has continued to be excellent, and something I didn't mention about Eric seems important to say now: He is just such a truly nice man. A year ago I wrote, "He is the best!" And now, after living in our house and seeing his fine work every day for a year, and calling him back to do even more work, I still think he is the best. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eric does a fantastic job of looking at your whole house as a system. We asked him to help us out because we had gotten some flooding and our basement bathroom had a lot of mold. He did a great job, put in a proper drainage system, and fixed a lot of details along the way. He knew we planned to add a powder room to the second floor, so got it plumbed in before he filled in the concrete. Some contractors just come in and do the job you tell them to do and no more. Because Eric has architecture skills and construction skills, he sees more than many contractors do. He spots potential problems that he explains to you, and also sees ways that he can save you future costs, then he makes informed suggestions to you in advance so that you can make a better decision about how to renovate your home. We have an older home with a lot of quirks, to the extent that we would have contractors come to give a quote and then never hear from them again. We really needed someone like Eric. I talked to a lot of contractors in Edmonton after moving here two years ago, and became increasingly depressed about having to spend a fortune going piecemeal or having to spend a fortune on contracting companies that wouldn't even give us a quote until we had given them thousands of dollars to start the job. I was just about ready to give up, then I found Eric. He can deal with just about anything. He is the best!

Hired Eric to finish my 5x7 bathroom. What a mistake!! If only I could post photos. Initially…read morequoted $3500 to redo the floor and wall tiles, replace some cement board and put in new faucets. I also asked for him to install a toilet after the initial estimate. The bathroom ended up costing over $9000 to redo because he did tasks I did not ask for him to do - eg. changing wall light to ceiling light, ripped out vanity, etc. For $9000, the work he did was poor. He scratched the bathtub requiring me to purchase and install a new one. The tiles are completely uneven and not level with the wall. They are also covered in grout in spots and he installed broken tiles. The floor tile is missing grout in spots, but he somehow was able to put grout on the hallway walls requiring me to sand and repaint those walls as well. He made multiple holes in my wall and just left them for me to fix. The mud for the drywall was not properly applied, smoothed or sanded. I had to remud the walls and sand before I painted them. The vanity was installed with a large gap between the vanity and the wall. It is also not centred on the wall. He cut a large hole in the vanity so I cannot even move the vanity to make it flat against the wall or centre. When requested to fix the problems, he refused. He did offer to put a lien on my house though.
