My wife and I wish to express our deepest gratitude for the excellent work that Creative Concepts…read moreCarpentry did at our house in 2010, specifically to install replacement windows, doors and trim. Considering the abnormally high number of problems in our larger renovation project, including repeated delays in the delivery of materials and often either defective or incorrect materials, they were clearly set a considerable challenge. Not only did they meet that challenge, but they exceeded our expectations in every respect. Also, due to the many project failures, my wife and I became extremely sceptical of the various construction trades. Through the concerted efforts of Creative Concepts Carpentry, they proved that it is possible for a homeowner to find competent, ethical and highly proficient people in the construction industry. We were most impressed by the professionalism, communication skills, cleanliness, respect for the homeowner, and technical proficiency of Darren Seaman, the owner of Creative Concepts Carpentry, and his team. They are to be commended for this and should be considered a role model for not only other carpentry companies but for the construction industry in general.

Some of the windows literally have shims hanging out of them and the window header has gaps . It was clear they didn't mask off their work areas as there was saw dust everywhere. Promised trim and then was shown that it "wasn't in the contract " for 80 grand it was pretty disappointing for this to be the finished product

On Jan 25 Centra Windows replaced 5 windows in my house. the installers were clean, fast, and…read moreefficient. That is not the problem. I had applied for current rebates under the Clean B.C. program. I told this to Jonathan, the salesman. He failed to inform me that the rebates did not apply to the windows that he recommended and were ultimately chosen, but that they did apply to upgraded windows. Although more expensive, the rebates would have more than covered the difference. By neglecting to provide full and relevant information about the choices available, Centra has caused me to miss out on thousands of dollars in rebates.

Budget Glass diagnosed the issue, ordered the correct parts and reinstalled the door. The door now functions perfectly as it was intended. The staff are friendly, professional and experienced. After the repairs my bathroom was left as clean as when Budget Glass arrived.

I live on Gabriola Island, a short ferry ride away from Nanaimo. I have had 2 purchases from…read moreBudget Glass. First one was a glass shower stall, then most recently replacement windows in a cabin. For the first purchase, I was most impressed with their level of after-sale service-they came twice, and readily so, to adjust and tweak the strength of the magnetic close of the shower door. Remember, I live a ferry ride away. Then with the window purchase, Mike worked really hard to schedule Butch to come out to measure at as early a date as they could make it, then scheduled me very quickly after the windows arrived. Again, this is scheduling for an Island visit. Butch's measurement and assessment of the situation was careful and precise, so much so that when he and Derrick came to install, it was smooth and efficient. AND they cleaned up beautifully afterwards. Meanwhile, the office team of Melanie and Tasha were always helpful on the phone taking and confirming orders. I have experienced nothing but 100% customer satisfaction. THESE FOLKS TAKE CARE OF YOU, GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS!

Some jobs were executed poorly, others postponed over and over. We had a bathroom vent that vented below our deck (and was the reason we had to replace some of the joists and all the plywood), and had discussed moving the vent outside the deck's footprint. The contractor decided unilaterally to put the vent back exactly where it was, claiming that "he had thought about it". Additionally, the contractor made frequent references to his connection to a lawyer - as in no one would get the better of him. In the end, although he said he would come back to fix things, we did not want him back, on our property. We paid what was asked and think ourselves to be well rid of him. We would not recommend this contractor.
