Ashton Renovations

Ashton Renovations (Mark and Chris) did such a great job with our Kitchen and Dining room renovation. We have, and we will continue to, recommend Ashton Renovations to family and friends.

We had a newborn and a 3 year old, and, for some reason, we thought it a good time to renovate! Mark and Chris took great care in making sure everything went smoothly and managed our demands to move quickly, where possible.

Mark offered us great design advice along the way and took the time to carefully explain our budget and how each decision would affect our budget plan. Chris was always on hand to make sure the quality of work matched their high standards for safety and craftsmanship.

On every job, there is always some unexpected turns (in our case, a decade old exterior wall leak), and while there were tense times, we always trusted their judgement and commitment to doing the job right, the first time.

We plan to invite Ashton Renovations back for a quote on our garage/secondary suite design, if they are interested (and we get the permits ;))

Worked with Mark and his team over a year long process. Fully gut renovated a large condo kitchen and two bathrooms.

During the process Mark was always realistic with budgets and expectations. He was very good at assisting and building on our ideas to make each room better and more functional.

The Ashton team was exceptionally good dealing with our condo building staff and management. They were always aware of keeping the work area and building common areas clean.

We recently completed a whole house renovation with Mark Ashton and his team. The core project took approximately 4 months and then a few months for final finishes after we moved back in. We completely gutted the kitchen, bathroom, all the wood floors are new, windows and exterior doors all new on the main, paint throughout, updated plumbing and electrical. The results are outstanding and the quality is excellent.

After interviewing several contractors, we actually lost confidence that we could get this job done within the budget we wanted to spend (and the scope we wanted). Mark's relaxed but organized, flexible and consultative approach to renovation projects restored our confidence, and is what made this a success for us. We liked his approach to project management, and his process/steps right away and helped make it easier for us to understand what to do. I also appreciated having his guidance in materials selection sources that was within our style, quality needs and budget. The whole team is easy to work with, friendly and are passionate about what they do. Having never renovated before, it took a little longer than we anticipated with some delays (unavoidable) - make sure to assume more time than you think and expect some challenges.

We are already planning our basement renovation with Mark and can't wait to get started!

This is our second major kitchen renovation with Mark and his team from Ashton Renovations. We wanted an open floor plan kitchen/dining room so we invited Mark over to talk about design ideas in a few days later Mark came back with a new kitchen layout that included the removal of a the wall between the kitchen and dining room.

Over the next few months the renovation went forward without any big delays. Mark was very open to the collaborations and changes we wanted to make throughout the project and was also able to offer good insight to decisions we were making.

Now that the project is complete our small enclosed kitchen has been transformed into a big, bright beautifully designed kitchen. We would definitely recommend Mark for any project in the future.

Thanks again, Mark.
