Testimonials

We have worked with York Custom Renovators on several projects now. Their quality workmanship and focus on the customer is what keeps us coming back. There is a level of communication from the initial estimate through to the project completion to ensure we always know where we are and what to expect throughout the project. Their attention to detail and care to ensure that the job is done with a high quality is evident in the end product. We highly recommend York Custom Renovators

Cindy Goulden & Greg Adriaanse

Scott and team completely renovated (stripped the walls to studs, new subfloors and new plumbing) two bathrooms, structural renovations to the master bedroom/walk-in closet, re-faced our fireplace in addition to replacing windows and skylights.

We appreciated Scott’s attention to detail; which showed through in all aspects of our renovations, but in particular, the tile work on the floors and walls. The time spent on the prep work to discuss options and tile patterns before the actual install, which resulted in a superior finished job!
His drywall, especially the rounded corners, was meticulous so painting or tile work looked great.

Scott managed his suppliers and sub-trades to ensure that all work and materials were up to his and our standards. His fastidiousness ensured that counter tops, splashguards and cabinetry fit exactly into corners. Any joints and all edges were perfect.

At the end of everyday all work areas were thoroughly cleaned and most days the compressor was powered down. Ben and Scott are also #1 rated as Ikea closet organizer assemblers, there work was upstanding. York Custom Renovators did an excellent job for us.

Doug and Jan

Are you looking for a contractor who is on site during construction? Are you looking for a contractor who stays with the job until it’s done? Are you wanting a contractor who will listen to your ideas and consider them carefully, make suggestions, and is meticulous in all details? That’s Scott. On two occasions I have had work done at my home by Scott. He is always willing to entertain dreams you may have and will happily find out how to make them come true. His attention to detail, such as level floors, or finishing walls and windows, is exceptional. Clean up is done at the end of each day. He has a plethora of experts who make sure your special requests are honoured. Each day he reports what was done and what the plan is for the next day so that you are aware of what is happening; after all, it is your home!

You will be happy with Scott’s work – honestly!

York Custom Renovators renovated our kitchen in 2012 and transformed it into a beautiful, functional and modern space. Since that time, we trust Scott and York Custom Renovators with all of our renovation needs. They have worked on our bathroom, back entryway, garage, and porch and we have been more than pleased and ecstatic with every project they have completed. Scott and his team are highly knowledgeable, hard-working, professional, warm, and always work with a great attention to detail. I always have and will continue to recommend York Custom Renovators to anyone in need of renovations.

Let us save you the trouble of calling six or seven or eight contractors…Just call Scott. Contractors can normally be impossible to get ahold of. If you call Scott you can usually get him on the phone right away or even text him and he will answer usually within minutes. The job site would always be spotless at the end of the day. He was always open on the cost of everything,he stuck to the timeline he had given us and if there was any adjustments needed to the budget he would always let us knows there wasn’t a surprise at the end of the job.

Even before he was awarded the job,Scott spent hours at our house just making sure that he was aware of every situation. Really was turn key. We would absolutely recommend York Custom Renovators to anyone. There is probably and un written rule somewhere that says that the contractor/client relationship should sty that way but…Scott really makes it feel like you have a friend working on your renovation.

Aaron and Janis

A couple of years ago, my wife and I found mold in one of our bathrooms and decided that it was time to not only tackle that, but also do some other needed renovations.

We looked at many capable contractors, and finally settled on York Custom Renovators. The biggest reason for choosing Scott was that of all the contractors we met with, not only did we get the best impression of his competency and capabilities from him and some of the work we saw through his referrals and references, but his ideas and suggestions resonated with us the most and offered us other options than what we had considered.

What I appreciated most from Scott was that he set expectations early and was honest from the beginning. He told us to expect the unexpected and keep budget aside for unknown events.

From the beginning, it became very clear that we had made the right choice. Immediately we ran into problems, which Scott had prepared us for that might happen, but he dealt with them immediately and efficiently. Not only did he regularly communicate with us to discuss how to best address these ‘surprises’ in proper, but also in a cost effective manner.

It was immediately apparent that the quality of Scott’s work and professionalism was first rate. He and his crew were on time, they were polite, conscientious and aware of their surroundings.

They made the utmost attempts to keep the impact of their work to a minimum. After all, we were still living in the house. To the delight of my wife, they took great care to make sure they cleaned up after themselves every night.

As the scope of work grew, Scott constantly made sure we understood new timeframes and what to expect.

At the end of the project, we couldn’t have been happier with the quality and finish of Scott’s work. You truly get what you pay for with York Custom Renovators.

So much so, that when the following year we had a pipe burst, we immediately contacted Scott and had him come and do the repairs and further renovations.

I cannot recommend York Custom Renovators highly enough. There is no doubting the levels and quality of the work and we are extremely delighted to live in our beautifully new rooms, as well as the decision to choose Scott and his team. We will for sure work with them on any future projects.

Dear Scott Wenderoth,
     I am writing to you, in all sincerity, to relay our greatest thanks, for performing our renovation on the living room and dining room of our house ! We asked a lot of your knowledge & experience to design and build a functional but attractive space, at a reasonable price. Removing the adjoining wall was difficult because of the cove ceiling in the living room. However, you and your excellent crew did a fabulous job of it, & opened up what was a fairly cramped space into a beautiful, workable “ living zone” , admired & complimented by all who have enjoyed it,since.
      Your much appreciated working habits and cleaning the workplace each day after the tasks were completed, left a satisfying appreciation for the professionalism you show  in all aspects of your work.
      We also respected & appreciated the consultation & suggestions of design, as well as listening to our thoughts and wishes, too!
      Thank you for the Quality Workmanship & lasting friendship realized from the beautiful project.

         Yours truly,

                     

Brent and Jan Payne

 

We hired York Custom Renovators to finish an unfinished basement in a new build. After requesting quotations from several other contracting firms, York was the only one to provide a detailed breakdown of the scope of work, and the cost for each aspect based on our requirements. When York began the job, Scott, the owner and lead constructor, clearly communicated expectations for the day and week ahead. He, and his crew, and his sub-trades, all treat your home with respect. He cares about the work you don’t see, like insulation, bulkhead construction and floor leveling. This makes the finishes look spectacular when the base work is square and level. As work progresses, he makes suggestions based on his extensive knowledge and experience. He never performs work without the owner’s consent, and is transparent with invoicing. We are now enjoying our new family room with mantled fireplace, three piece bathroom, and two work rooms. Trust York with your home and your renovation ideas. You will not be disappointed.
