Cadence Construction and Design Inc.

When we decided we were going to do a renovation of our master bedroom and ensuite we knew we were going to need a contractor.

We started looking for contractors to get quotes and noticed a sign on one of our neighbour's lawns for Cadence Construction and Design. We asked our neighbour about their experience with Cadence and they had nothing but good things to say and recommended them highly.

This would be our first major renovation and we had some concerns about putting our home into someone else's hands. All those concerns melted away very quickly after our very first meeting with Rachael and Patrick. Right from the start we felt comfortable with them both and could tell immediately that they understood our vision for our space, made many suggestions appropriate to our concepts and they were very detailed and knowledgeable.

Some of our concerns leading into this process was how overwhelming we had heard the renovation process can be. With Rachael basically holding our hands from design to shopping as well as incorporating any changes we wished to make, it was almost easy.

Patrick and the rest of the crew were amazing to deal with. They were punctual, very respectful of our home and family (including the dogs), courteous, kept the work areas clean, were very knowledgeable and kept us informed throughout the process (not to mention every one of them were very nice guys).

In the end, we had an extensive renovation done involving many subcontractors (of which Cadence uses very qualified professional individuals that seem to share many of Cadence’s values of customer satisfaction as well as being very approachable), and we couldn’t have been any happier. They took our old bedroom and ensuite from being one of our most hated areas of the house to being our favourite.

We would highly recommend Cadence and look forward to working with them again the next time we tackle a renovation. As a matter of fact, we have already given them our highest recommendation as they will be doing a large basement renovation for relatives of ours based on our recommendation.

I highly recommend this company.

From the start they were very professional, listened to what I wanted and offered up helpful suggestions/ options. Estimates/Quotes/ were detailed and easy to understand. Contract clearly outlined deliverables, expectations of both parties and payment terms.

All trades were professional, quick, helpful and kept the work sight clean. Project was completed within budget and time frame originally established. As with any renovation some issues did arise - the company took ownership was quick to react, offer up suggestions and keep me (the homeowner) informed.

I am very happy my new kitchen, entrance way and bathroom.

Dealing with all staff from Cadence we experienced very professional service from start to finish. And we have a beautiful deck to enjoy when the warmer weather comes!

Let me just start by saying that, regardless of the project you are undertaking and how much stressful renovations can be, it is a known fact that everybody ends up loving Rachael. You cannot ask for a better partner to go shopping and picking up every piece of your project. She knows what you want, like a mind reader, and she will find it for you even if you have a tight budget like I did. And the guys, I didn't think I could find anyone more obsessed than me with the little details. When I was about to open my mouth to suggest something, they were already taking care of it. They put everything together perfectly, with not a single mistake. They built me a kitchen from scratch in the exact way I told them to and I could not be happier with the result. Regarding the budget, I can only say that they offered us an estimate more or less similar to other contractors, but it was their professionalism, enthusiasm and the variety of ideas they presented us what ultimately made us go to them. I would absolutely recommend Cadence Construction, and we are definitely considering them for other projects.

Rachel and Patrick at Cadence Construction have been a dream to work with. Admittedly, this is my first major renovation and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. By the end of the renovation, Rachel feels more like a friend than contractor/project manager.

Some highlights are:

1. From the initial walk through of my home and what my idea for the reno was, Rachel and Patrick showed up on time, and were ready to work. They took everything I said down and offered suggestions without being pushy. This is important to note because, while I loved their suggestions, it just wasn't my idea. They said ok and took my ideas back and provided me with a detailed quote based on what I wanted.

2. This takes me to the quote which was extremely detailed with estimated costs beside every point that we discussed and then some. It was very easy to understand and made me very comfortable with how my money was going to be spent. Rachel let me know that these are estimates and some expenses might be a bit higher if we makes changes along the way while some might be lower if we don't require as many materials as quoted. All would be updated in the end (subtracting and adding as needed)

3. Pre-reno - once the contract was signed Rachel set up a time to meet me and different stores to pick everything out TOGETHER. This was huge because she knows what works and what doesn't, what works within budget and what other options there are that I never would have thought of. If I went out a purchased something myself (sink and faucet, as an example) then it comes off the quote in the end.

4. Reno time - the team that came to my house to do the dirty work was very respectful of that fact that I sometimes work from home and were so good with my young son when he would return from school. They let him participate a little bit and he loves that he got to write his name in our kitchen which will be there forever. I love that it's hidden :)

5. Hit by the reno bug - once things got underway I realized I wanted a few nicer things...of course. Rachel was very helpful and detailed each cost along the way so there were no surprises in the end.

6. Final Result - I am in LOVE!!! My floors look amazing. You can't tell that there was ever nasty popcorn ceiling, i'm in love with my kitchen - so much extra space now with 4 corner cabinets where there none, the trim and caulking is so sleek, etc.

7. Customizations - instead of leaving dead space in my kitchen, the team custom built a floor to ceiling pantry, cute cupboards on either side of my above range microwave and built in fridge with lots of storage above it. Of course this came with costs but it was soooooooo cheap and was discussed beforehand.

8. Tired of reading? I'll stop here as I'm beginning to ramble, but I highly recommend Cadence Construction. The team was great, the execution was flawless and my overall opinion is I'M SO HAPPY.

Now to save for the basement :)

The best part of this team is their awesome customer service. Rachel is great & really follows through. The whole team was great and our kids loved them. There were np issues with the workmanship. We had some little details that we weren't happy with at the end and the team was responsive to come fix them up.

We love our new deck. From start to finish Cadence Construction surpassed our expectations. Their professionalism on every level made our deck building experience flawless and stress free.

Pat and his crew started the deck on time and finished earlier than expected. We love the added touch of our privacy screen.

If your looking for a honest hardworking company then Cadence Construction is the right team.

We are looking forward to many years on our deck.

Thank you,

Craig and Joy

We chose Cadence really because of Pat's reputation and from seeing the shows he was a part of on HGTV - we knew he was well educated in construction and design. However - working with him and his crew really blew us away and surpassed our expectations!

They listened to our ideas and the final result still has our neighbours talking weeks after the project wrapped up!

From start to finish Cadence was amazing to work with, and the team was fantastic to have on hand. We already know we will use them for future projects!

Rachael and Patrick were such a pleasure to work with. From the get go, they walked us through every aspect of the renovation and never set false expectations with timelines. They were very receptive to our input and changes, and were quick to respond to all of our queries. We are extremely happy with the finished product and will certainly be calling on Cadence for our next big job!

I’m extremely happy with the work that Pat and Rachael did on my basement. They listened to my plan and offered great advice at the beginning of the project. From the very start they showed an enthusiasm and expertise that assured me that they were the right choice of contractor.

They worked within our agreed-upon time frame and routinely checked in with me to make sure I was happy with the progress. The finished product is absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t be happier with their work or the whole renovation experience. They made the process painless and kept within budget perfectly. I would highly recommend Cadence Construction to anyone looking for quality work.

We have recently contracted Cadence Contracting to work on our main floor renovation. We had asked for a tight timeline as well as a tight budget for them to work with. They were very conscientious of maintaining the schedule as well as helping us make decisions on changes while keeping the budget in mind. We lived in the house during the main floor renovation and the level of understanding and compassion was exemplary.

We enjoyed the friendships that were made with Rachael, Patrick, Matt and Stuart. We appreciated their guidance to help make decisions, the level of professionalism and the workmanship that was provided. We would highly recommend the Cadence team to any of our friends or anyone looking to have a renovation done with a positive experience.

We will be using Cadence for a next renovation!!!

Exceptional work . The crew was amazing, well knowledge and vary helpful in helping chose the design.. I was so happy that they came in under budget. Totally recommend this company.

Cadence construction helped me an immense amount by taking this job to revamp and freshen up my house before we sold it. They did a great job and were very communicative with us. Rachael is a pleasure to deal with; honest and straightforward. The job was done well, finished on time, and quoted correctly. Stuart was an awesome worker and make sure to get feedback from us when needed. We ended up selling our house for 46K over asking and I know they helped with that. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again, oh wait! I didn't!! I hired them for my brand new kitchen in my new house based on how happy I was with this job.

I can not say enough about Cadence Construction. From the initial consult, we felt completely comfortable with their knowledge, skill, and professionalism. They worked with our vision to perfect it and make it a reality and now our master suite looks like it belongs in a magazine. In addition to being highly skilled craftsmen, the customer service of the whole team is impeccable and they really took the time to make sure we were completely happy. Initially we were worried that our baby would be upset by the commotion of the renovation but the guys were amazing with her and became like family to her. We cannot wait to work with Cadence Construction again on future projects!

I had interviewed a few contractors for my master bathroom reno but when I met Rachael and Patrick my search was over. They listened to what I wanted, offered their input on design ideas and when it was all said and done- came in on budget! Rachael and I met on 3 separate occasions to go fixture, tile and lighting shopping. I couldn't have pulled this masterpiece together without her help! They delivered the master bathroom retreat I was looking for. While they were there I also got them to renovate my laundry room which is now so inviting I actually look forward to doing laundry!

Cadence Construction built our deck this past fall. We had an existing deck that they completely demolished as well as built the two tier deck to replace it. We found Pat's design and creativity fit perfect with our 'style'. Rachael was a pleasure to work with and made sure we were happy with all the plans before starting anything. They were a pleasure to work with and we would recommend them to anyone.

We hired Cadence Construction to completely renovate our kitchen and replace flooring throughout our main floor. We gave them a tight timeline as we purchased our new home and had a short window before we moved in with our family of 6. Rachael and Pat were very professional and did great work. They were always on site when they said they would be and if there were any issues, communicated clearly so we could come up with solutions. We are thrilled with how our kitchen turned out and we would highly recommend them to anyone. A great experience.

Cadence Construction was very professional in the services they provided. Patrick's design suggestions helped enhance what we had already designed ourselves, to create a totally unique space. They worked with 3rd party companies to co-ordinate our gas fireplace, and stair installation with minimal involvement from us. The almost daily update from Rachel was great to ensure we both were on the same page in what was completed and what was still to be done. Would gladly recommend to friends and family.

Cadence Construction did a great job. They gave us the best quote, started and finished the job in the time frame given, arrived everyday on time and worked fast and clean. We even had something we needed to call them back for and they were prompt and ensured that everything was taken care of. Both Rachael and Patrick provided excellent customer service throughout the entire process. We will be using them again when it comes time for our next Reno!
