We purchased plank laminate flooring from Jordan's and they recommended GL Instllations-Home Renos to install it. I was very pleased with their work. They did a great job expertly and efficiently. I would highly recommend them.

I used Gabriel and his team for a renovation project prior to moving into my new apartment in Coal Harbour. The place had been trashed by a bad tenant and was in a horrid state. I needed the old carpet removed and disposed of, fitting new laminate and soundproof underlay, tilling in the kitchen bathroom and den, and painting the entire apartment including the bubble ceiling and gloss on doors and trim.

All this was done in less than 2 weeks right before Christmas and in a high rise where being quite, tidy and polite is essential to start off on the right foot with the neighbors and building manager, which they did. They even were great with my big dog being there and looked after him during the remo, well above and beyond the job.

I got supplier recommendations for both products from GL Instillations and got great deals on both. I did my homework on comparable's and their suppliers were by far the best quality and price. Gabriel also recommended products to get rid of the cat smell that was overpowering and that worked and no more cat smell.

GL Instillations completed the job on time on budget (which was not big), and did a fantastic job. I have recommend them to many of my friends and business associates.

Thanks again for doing a great job on time and with a great budget. V Macleod

Gabriel installed 500 ft of baseboards in our home. He only charged us the contractor's cost for the boards. He worked around our schedule, was on time, got the job done quickly, and cleaned up thoroughly. He even replaced some of our damaged laminate at no cost. The baseboards look fantastic. I would highly recommend GL Installations for any home renos.

Simply awesome

A big thanks to Gabriel and crew on a job well done. GREAT bunch of guys, very courteous and punctual.

Very professional, affordable and excellent result. I have recommended GL Instsallations to friends looking for a new floor and will continue to whenever I can.

Gabriel at GL Installations did a fantastic job of installing the flooring in our house. He was on time, clean, friendly and paid attention to detail. We would not hesitate to call him again if we needed work done.

Gabriel helped me right from the start of my project, answering any questions I had. He even was thinking about it hours later and called to tell me something that helped me in my pre install preparation. It was important to him that my project turned out the best possible. I would definitely use GL Installations again!

While purchasing our hardwood floor, we got verbal recommendation for "GL Installations" from the lady in the Richmond store where we were shopping for material. She said these guys were very fast. Since we had only 7 days to finish the reno (painting and flooring) before moving in, we hired GL Installations for the job, after they firmly promised to be done on time, and gave us their rates and cost estimate

That's were the nightmare begins.

Monday, the owner brought his (in my opinion very young crew) for the carpet removal around 1PM. They phoned back at 5PM, so I can come and pick the keys to the condo. I've noticed that they didn't finish removing of the baseboards completely, and some of the garbage and large old carpet pieces were still laying around, but I assumed it'll be done the next day.

However, later that day my wife had a phone conversation with the owner. He told her, that he changed his mind, that the job won't be done by Friday because he was going camping on Thursday. He told us that one of the youngsters was his brother, and he didn't want to pressure him with the timelines. He also added that some leveling needs to be done, and that would cost us additional $2,800. I would like to mention that during this conversation a rude tone in the owner voice was sensed. My wife and I consulted after that phone conversation, and we felt that we were given false promise, that this was not acceptable behavior on the owner side and decided not to proceed with GL Installations. We also had a feeling that his price for leveling was not realistic.

The very next day the owner phoned to come and pick his tools, and when we met, he gave me the invoice for the carpet removal. Almost $800. On his, obviously pumped bill he had items like: "portions of the carpet were glued and hard to remove - additional $100". When I complained about it, he threatened that he will charge me for being late to open condo for him to pick up his stuff. I forgot the keys and had to come back, so I was late about 30 minutes indeed. I am writing this in hope that other people won't go through the same experience..
