Allure Residential & Commercial Inc

Read this before hiring allure to build your dream home. I hired Allure to renovate my home into my dream home, under the promise that it would be done within 4 weeks. Other contractors had been recommended to me but their timeliness were double, so I went with Allure who promise the "best quality service" and have been utterly sorely disappointed. My project has taken more than 3 times the quoted time, has come in over budget (without any explanation, despite me asking more than 10 times in writing and in unreplied voice messages), there has been no Manager on site for months at a time, the crew left for a 2 week long Christmas break without informing me that there would be one and left me a massive pile of garbage in my living room when their contract explicitly says they will remove debris from site.

Not only did it take them more than 6 weeks to get a permit to start construction but it has been more than 8 weeks since they started and they are nowhere near done. Darren (the Executive Director) hasnt been to the site in over a month and he has no other representatives who can give me updates on site. He says that he does "not need to come babysit trades they are there doing their jobs as directed", but then says that jobs are done when they aren't and no one is able to answer me when I ask when certain things will be done.

Darren has asked for just over another $30k and says he will call off all work on the property until this has been paid. I have offered to pay by piece or by week but can't go another 12 weeks without communication on what's happening.

Dan is such a courteous and communicative person. The first day I called him to talk about the replacement of our house flooring, he explained everything very patiently and completely, and gave me an expected cost based on the area over the first call itself. Owing to his knowledge in the field we decided to hire him right away. They showed up the next day, inspected everything and initiated the work. I would surely recommend people to give them a try.

Allure contractors upgraded my basement suite. I am very pleased with the work performance, fast and efficient, reasonable priced. I had the kitchen ceiling redone, framed and stippled, laundry room and under stairwell dry walled. The electrical panel upgrade, the lighting with led lights upgrade , plumbing upgrades etc. was all completed to satisfactory level! Derrick did an excellent job, of framing, and dry wall, cleaned up after project was done.The team worked together well. I would highly recommend this company for any of your Reno projects! Five stars!! Susan

Fantastic service great communication, went above and beyond any other renovation company we have ever dealt with in the past. Renovated our kitchen, master en-suite ,and powder room as well new flooring throughout the house. Came in under budget and in less time than estimated.

Absolutely PERFECT!

Thank you Allure.

Very happy with the work provided by Allure. Courteous, professional and timely. We were faced with a leak in our bathroom that caused mold issues beneath the flooring. Greg from Allure provided a professional assessment for the work required. George did the actual work, and he provided good explanation of each step of the repair work. Removed & replaced the damaged flooring, remediated the mold issue, and was able to save & re-lay the existing tiles.

Both Greg & George have been very helpful & informative. We plan to use them very soon to renovate our flooring in the house.

Allure was a great company to work with. Very professional and efficient.

Jim the installer was a pleasure to work with and his he truly takes pride in what he does and it shows. I am extremely pleased with the job they did and couldn’t be happier and all well within my budget!!

Darren from Allure Residential & Commercial is a results oriented and mission focused GC with a cadre of skilled trades people at his disposal. The trades were engaged in their work, highly skilled and easy to dialog with. Darren was excellent with communication, keeping me updated with opportunities and challenges via messages, photographs and onsite meetings through out the project. The team took my home into the 21st century.

I'd not hesitate to use Allure Residential & Commercial for my next project and will recommend them to friends.

We are extremely pleased with the end result, better than we had imagined. Darren guided us through the purchasing of our choice of tiles, bath tub and carpets and responded immediately to any questions or concerns we had. He managed a team of professional, clean and polite workers to do the job which was finished to a very high standard. Our only issue was the delay on the delivery of the bath tub which held up the project for a while but we understand that this was out of his control. We will definitely recommend Allure to others and be in touch with Darren with any future renovations. Thanks for a great job guys!!

Similar to any renovation projects, there are many unexpected tasks for my basement, when we want to make it legal secondary suite. It is good that Darren with Allure Residential & Commercial Inc staffs could find out them and provided us optimal solutions. They proposed what are needed to be done accordingly to City codes and finally our Secondary Suite sticker is granted. Thank you. Hugh Tran

It was such a delight dealing with this company (if this is the Allure Construction that is called Allure Residential and Commercial Installers Direct on Crowfoot Crescent NW.)

After attempting to deal with another company that had an exceedingly high upfront fee, I eventually cancelled because of poor response and understanding as well as the inability to get a proper invoice or start date.

Darren was quick and responsive, both for the quote as well as for getting the job done. His documentation and invoicing were clear and he gave a start date (unlike most contractors who absolutely refuse). Both he and his workers were punctual and very professional and friendly. The company was also upfront and honest. I have hired many contractors over the years but this company was top notch.
