Varity of trades employed on three different occasions. All work done in a timely manner and everyone showed up on schedule. Work was done on budget and on time and everyone even cleaned up after themselves.
We hired Kurt to complete a basement renovation. My husband had done all of the demolition work so Kurt's job entailed installing a supporting beam and footing, move some heat vents and central vac, frame and drywall and essentially get our basement paint ready. The experience started off very positive, the guys were on time and seemed to be progressing very quickly with the work.
Near the end of the project we noticed the bulk head that they framed around our duct work was completely crooked and not square in several areas. We phoned Kurt and his immediate reaction was to blame our house for the issue instead of first reviewing the problem to see why it was so off. The next morning he came to our house and tried to tell me several times that it was level - at this point I showed him how to use the level and that the framing was clearly off by over an inch in many areas of the bulk head. After convincing him that it was his issue he finally agreed to fix it. He bought the materials needed that day and straightened everything out before they left which was nice to see.
That appeared to be the end of quality control for Kurt. I don't know if us pointing out his mistake bothered him or if they just aren't detail oriented guys but things just went down hill. One of the stipulations of our contract was to have the area made paint ready so we could just prime and paint when they left. We had to point out several missed areas that were not patched on many occasions. Kurt assured us that all details would be tended to so I left him and his partner to finish the job.
Once he told us the job was finished he said he would come back AFTER we've painted to patch any missed spots that may come out during the painting process as sand came off the walls which seemed reasonable to me. That tells me they've inspected the area and they're aren't any visible imperfections. He left and we went downstairs to inspect the area. There was piles of dust left everywhere, areas that where the mud was still thick and not sanded properly, globs of mud on two windows, a significant amount of holes missed (which at one point had mud on them that was completely sanded off so they saw their mistake and left it) and our central vac which he moved was not hooked up properly. My husband spent hours cleaning up after them and fixing our central vac as he wouldn't come back to our house for 3 days and to be honest we were finished with having to remind him how to do his job.
Overall the experience was mediocre. For the amount we spent I expected much higher quality and craftsmanship. I understand a few small oversights but the amount of mistakes and things missed was much too high for me.
We will not recommend or use Kraftwerk Home Improvements again.
Kurt and his staff did a fantastic job finishing a bedroom in the basement for my son. They also re-did the floor in my other son's bedroom.
Their prices are very competitive and their work is excellent.
Their are always on time and extremely clean and polite.
I will be using them for a few more jobs in 2017!
Thank you Kurt!
Kraftwerks started the job right on schedule and completed what could be done that day and came back first thing the following morning to complete the job fixed a few other small tasks, not on the bill to help us out.
Clean, fast, efficient job. We will recommend there business to anyone looking for professional home improvements or construction.
It was May 2015, when my wife Samantha and I made the choice that we wanted to renovate the partially finished basement, of our Wasaga Beach home. We wanted to turn our space into a complete, second apartment. After around a month of getting unreasonable quotes that did not fall in our budget, from other contractors, my father-inlaw found Kurt and Kraftwerk Home Improvement, at the Wasaga Beach home show.
After taking his card, we had a meeting where Kurt assured us that he could complete our project within our budget, and begin construction in one weeks time. We wanted to add a second entrance, fully renovate our bathroom, add a full Kitchen, and laminate flooring. We were very impressed at how quickly our project was made a priority.
Once construction began Kurt's team worked very quickly and efficiently, and in a very short time our basement apartment was taking shape. During this process we faced multiple hurdles, and with every one Kurt worked with us; offering advise, and alternative ideas, to make sure we stayed in budget while still getting what we wanted. We had a small delay when our countertop company halted manufacturing for two weeks. But upon receiving the countertop Kurt and his team had our basement finished in what seemed like no time at all. Thanks to Kraftwerk Home Improvement we now have a gorgeous basement apartment, that was built in-budget and on-time.

Kurt and his team did an awesome job renovating our bathroom . Kurt took the time to understand what it was we were after and offered some great options to help us stay on budget!. The entire job was done in 1 week, including heated floors and plumbing. The team was professional, friendly, and respectful of our home .....and our dog. We are planning a Kitchen renovation within the year and will not hesitate to have Kraftwerk handle it! We highly recommend the Kraftwerk team for all your reno needs.
Deck was repaired and painted less a year ago paint has peeled off repeated calls to fix has resulted in excuses I even paid him more then contract with tip
The cottage deck was painted for Peter and was paid for by Peter who also was so pleased with our work and my crew that he provided tips to all. The deck was in poor condition and we repaired and painted it. No guaranties were provided and would not because of the previous condition of the deck. The next year the son of Peter called and informed me that the deck had some peeling and he was having company at the cottage on the weekend. Scheduling that quickly was difficult. He became very verbally abusive and threatening over the phone. As a result we cannot do business with this client.
We recently used Kraftwerk Home Improvement to add a kitchenette and 3 pc bath to a room to create a bachelor apt, and we couldn't be happier. Kurt runs a great company. The work was done to our satisfaction, on time and on budget! Very professional and friendly. We were so happy, we had them build us a back deck/stairway as well.
Kurt and his crew were excellent to work with. They did a really good job of all the reno' that were asked of. The time frame that was given for completion of the reno's was on time. They also left everything clean and tidy when done. So I would recommend them, and I would use them in the future if I need more renovations. Kurt was also good when changes of the existing plans or adding more work to a area, he was still able to accomplish all.
