Allure Residential & Commercial Inc

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.

Hi Darren,

Renovated my complete house back to the studs, new kitchen, new bathrooms, new flooring, drywall, etc ,etc. I would not hesitate to recommend Allure and Darren to anyone

My house looks better than new everything I hoped for and more.

Thanks, Peter Stelmaschuk

Excellent work done by the Allure Construction team! My kitchen, bathrooms and flooring look amazing.

Would recommend to anyone looking for a great professional team.

Darren and the team at Allure were a pleasure to work with. They were responsive to requests, completed the work with good quality as promised, on time, and for the cost agreed to. Unexpected items were well handled. The timeliness of the work was impressive. Would definitely recommend Allure for other project and will be calling again for our next big project.

The job was done with professional accuracy and attention to detail. The project completion: timely and efficient. The crew was pleasant and easy to communicate with at all times.

Thanks and see you again.

Allure built a stone facade around the gas fireplace in my living room.

Darren (the company owner) was very responsive and came to provide a quote soon after I contacted him. All the Allure staff were very friendly, professional and skilled. They took the time to discuss what I wanted and explained each step of the process well. They also took precautions to protect our floors and keep our house as clean as can be expected during a construction project.

The end result is beautiful and I am very happy with how it turned out. From picking materials to designing the shape and picking the mantle, Allure worked hard to give me the fireplace that I wanted.

The only glitch was that we had a misunderstanding on the cost/budget for the project, resulting in a higher than expected bill at the end of the job. My advice to future customers would be to make sure that what you are wanting is clearly described in detail in the written quote so both you and the contractor know everyone is on the same page.

Judging from the other reviews on this site though, I would say that experience is probably the exception and not the norm for Allure. They were also very reasonable and respectful in their approach when we discussed how to resolve the issue, which was appreciated!

Overall, I still would definitely recommend Allure to others as they did great work, provided great customer service and treated me well.

We hired Allure Construction to do a complete renovation of our early 2000 bungalow.

They came out did an in home estimate, got back to us in 2 days with a completed full estimate with all the breakdowns of costs.

We changed a few things and added more again changed the estimate and we proceeded with the estimate and signed the contract.

The job was started within one week of signing and demo started they had the place gutted in 3 days! 2 entire floors of our house gone.

Started the rebuild immediately after the demo phase. We were amazed at how fast this was all happening.

All the trades and personel were very accommodating and punctual we asked that no one smoked on our property and in our home and not once did anyone not listen to our wishes.

I could rite a book about the entire process of the transformation from start to end but it would take a week. All I can say is that our house looks like a brand new home again better than new everything we wished for and more.

From start to finish every step of the renovation were told what was happening and what was next I could not recommend this company enough times. Our neighbours did renovations last year and went through 3 contractors.

Darren you did right by us and we will definitely pass your name and company along, if you need a reference please do not hesitate to use us.

Thank you,

I had moisture issues at my west side windows of my house in that the original construction and window installation were faulty. The warranty had expired and therefore I had to get the work done without the original contractors help. Allure provided an estimate and they proceeded to do the work promptly. Throughout the work, if changes were required to the work they provided quotes for the extra work and price was agreed to and the work proceeded. Except for lost time due to weather the work was done expeditiously and we are happy with the results.

Allure Construction did a great job on painting and flooring.

Thanks!

Allure construction provided us with a whole home renovation including the kitchen, bathrooms, all flooring and basement. Darren and all the sub contractors were incredibly helpful and knowledgable throughout the entire process. If any problem arose, they found solutions to fix the problem right away and in the end our home was exactly as we wanted. We would absolutely recommend Allure Construction to anyone who is doing a renovation.

I hired a few contractors to do renovation on my home. Allure was by far the best contractor. Darren (owner) was professional & easy to deal with. They did what they promised to do.I strongly recommend Allure.

Allure construction did a wonderful job on installing by new floors, painting my walls and also put in new baseboards through out my home.

Darren and his team did a great job helping us work through all the mould issues and previous water flooding in the basement of our new home. Once the mould was discovered, all the remediation and removal was done. The new framing, insulation and drywall was put up and new carpets installed, the painting and finishing was done to a high quality standard which we have come accustom to having used Allure Constuction before. The water barrier and regrading of the outside was a big job, but again Darren and his guys did an amazing job and we finally got our house back to where it should be. Great job to all.....would happily recommend Allure to anyone looking for quality work.

I recently had my home renovation completed this past month by Allure Construction. I had new hardwood flooring installed, in 4 bedrooms and the living room. As well all of the baseboards replaced, new lighting installed, and all of the walls re-painted. The flooring I had picked was in stock and Allure was able to install as soon as my order was ready for pick up. The entire process of my home renovation was completed in a timely and professional manner. I was very impressed with my initial quote which is why I chose to hire Allure. The budget was managed well, and I was informed every step of the way how my money was being spent, and where we were at with the budget. I was provided periodic quotes as soon as work was completed, and the staff moved on to start the next task in my home. Overall I'm exceedingly impressed with how smooth everything went, and the finished product is perfect, I'm happy to say that I love my home again!

Contractor came out right away assessed porch and sent out an estimate right away. The work was done the very next day and we were happy with the end result.

Thrilled with my new blinds! Great service and a very reasonable price.

We were very pleased with our finished renovation. All aspects were beyond our expectations.

The installation of flooring was superior, and quick.

We certainly recommend this company for future renovations in your home.

We had a major leak in our house, we required the right help very quickly. They were on time, and educated us through every step. Through this experience we got additional work done through allure. we highly recommend them. Thank You

We were really in a pickle. Our son was selling his home, but was not getting good response. We had to fix it - fast. I called around for quotes on flooring and Darren gave me the best price. He and his men worked through the long weekend in 33 degree heat without complaint. When we came across problems with the stone work facing on the front of the house that we had not anticipated, I called Darren. He had help there that afternoon. He knew we were desperate, but did not take advantage of us. Instead he kept his price reasonable. Every craftsman was courteous and hardworking. I would not hesitate to work with Allure again.

We have enlisted this contractor for some minor work on our home to prepare it to sell. The interior work (painting) was done very promptly after making contact and securing the quote and it was done to a semi-acceptable level. The outside work that was requested was weather dependent and the contractor needed 2 nice days in a row to complete the work. The majority of the outside work was completed but the remainder of the work has not been done despite having had many nice days. The only time the contractor would contact me was after I would either call or email him. The first blunder was when we asked to have gravel put down on our rv pad and I showed him the size of gravel that I wanted. The gravel company showed up with larger gravel and I thought it would be ok, but it turned out that man gate couldn't be opened because of the larger gravel so we have to have both our man gate and rv gate altered (at our cost) to allow the gates to both open. The rv gate was a gong show to get finished properly as it was completely remade and didn't open fully which was needed in order to put an rv onto the pad. The second HUGE blunder was the window we needed replaced in our master bathroom. We had a glass block window that was never installed properly from when the house was initially built and it leaked and so the window needed to be removed and the frame replaced. This contractor suggested that we order a custom made window and he would install it but needed 2 nice days in a row to complete the project. As before, we waited and waited and saw many nice days go by then winter came and that put an end to even hoping this window would be replaced. Come spring, we wanted to get our house up on the market to sell so the phone calls started and much to our frustration, the window never did get replaced and our house sold before that could happen. Part of our sale agreement was to have this window fixed and I sent an email to this contractor to make sure it happened and after not hearing from him, the buyer of the new house called him asking where the window was and he said it wasn't paid for. I contacted him and he claimed he never received my email and therefore nothing had happened. I gave him instructions that he was to get the window fixed and I would send a cheque for the cost to my realtor. I said I would re-send the email with the contact information so he could get the work done and after 2 emails, 2 voice mails (one from me and one from my realtor), he has not returned either call or acknowledged us at all. Frustration level is, to say the least, very high as this was a project that was to be done last fall. Darren was a reliable person but his contractors leave much to be desired and his lack of communication is completely unacceptable. Overall not happy with the work against the amount of money that was paid, which was very high and would NEVER recommend this contractor to ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
