We contacted Darcy on December of 2020 to do a full gut and reno of our 1978 bathroom. He submitted a quote and according to all reviews we could find sounded awesome. The job was to begin in late Feb/ Early March 2021. In January 2021 he started shopping for tubs for us and came to take drywall samples for asbestos testing. The tests cam back positive and we had an abatement company come out. Meanwhile he asked for $1602.11 to order the tub for us as it would take 6-8 weeks to come in. After the abatement he was to start the job on March 14th. A week before he was to start, as per conversations prior he asked for a materials deposit of $5000. When the 14th arrived we got a text saying he was delayed on another job and would be there in a few days. A few days later, the same text.
Roll forward to April 7th and now he is not even returning calls, texts or emails. We called around to other contractors they all said the same thing. Busy. I had an exposed attic and a hole where I used to have my only bathroom with a tub for a family of four. We tracked down the tub at a supplier and since they couldn't get a hold of him either they were willing to sell us the tub. The tub I had paid for originally. We paid again and picked up the tub.
It is now April 26th and Darcy has disappeared with my $6602.11 I e-transferred him and changed his company name to Sawzall Construction.
I have documentation of our conversations prior to him taking off, as well as documentation of us sending him the deposit. This is not a baseless claim, feel free to contact me for details:

***Update*** June 7th,2021 - Darcy has been in contact with us since the review went up and says he has every intention of paying us back and has sent us $1000 by etransfer. However it is not the full amount of the deposit paid to him. He has continually told us he will send us money and then it not arrive.
We hired Darcy from Love Your Home to renovate our main bathroom. We were nervous about tackling a project like that and Darcy was great! The cost was reasonable and the finished project was amazing we love our new bathroom.
Darcy was clear and upfront about costs, what would work and why or why not. He presented the time frame and followed it perfectly! He was great about about communicating any issues or problems he ran into and also had a couple of options to deal with the issue. Darcy was reliable and extremely professional. We would hire him again for another Reno.
Thanks so much Michelle!

Darcy did an absolutely amazing job on a major kitchen renovation that included walls being removed. On top of his excellent carpentry and building skills, he is professional, very hard-working, and an all- around nice, polite guy. He also gave us good design ideas all along the way.
Thanks again Darcy!
I am so in love with my new kitchen. Darcy did an amazing job, he gave me EXACTLY what I asked for. He is professional, courteous and open to changes/suggestions without a care. I would recommend him and his company for ANY renovation you have... big or small. Thank you again, Darcy, I couldn't be any happier.
We met Darcy during the complete renovation of our home. This entailed a total gut and rebuild and Darcy was the main carpenter. The scope of that work included a new staircase, two new bathrooms, a family room, closets, new windows, fireplace detail, new interior doors and a very large cedar deck. Darcy's technical advice and his ability to explain the design options was invaluable to us.
His attention to detail and craft was so impressive during that process, that we hired him again to create a built-in bookshelf, the scale of which was the full height and width of our living room.
Then we hired Darcy to design and build our artist studio in our back yard.
We have really enjoyed working with Darcy, he is a very thoughtful, careful, craftsperson who has a very good sense of design and professionalism.
We certainly would recommend Darcy and his company Love Your House Again Renovations, and if we have any further projects, we will be calling him!
Darcy replaced our tired Jacuzzi tub with a stunning curbless shower and updated the rest of the bathroom as well. The quality of his work began with all the things you don’t see but are so important to a long lasting, quality job. This included dropping the Wedi shower base to create a curbless shower and doing this over a cantilevered extension with a large glass block window. All this was waterproofed. He followed that with a quality tile job with great attention to detail in tile layout. A man with integrity and pride in his work. Now we have a Master bathroom oasis!
Thanks Darcy
Darcy did an amazing job creating my beautiful modern farmhouse bathroom. His work is top notch and it shows in all the details. He's reliable and just an all around nice guy. He is now working on another project in our home. I highly recommend him.
Very professional and reliable. My new bathroom is spectacular. I would definitely recommend Love Your Home Again Renovations. Darcy is personable, communicated how the job was going, half way into the job, sat down with us and explained where things were and what else needed to be done. He made sure that tile, fixtures, paint colours were picked as things progressed.
It was a pleasure working with you, Barb.
Thank you for the review!
Darcy did an incredible job on my basement renovation, which included re-doing a bathroom, laundry room, bedroom and TV room. He had a great design ideas along the way and was very professional and polite. He completed the project on time and even a little but under budget. He was very respectful and I never worried once about having him in my house when I wasn't home. I will definitely be using Darcy again for my upstairs renovations.
