Measure Up Contracting Ltd.

Thank you Darrel & tradesmen for turning a dark, dingy 80s basement into a bright, modern space for my daughter.

Darrel & his tradesmen were polite & respectful of my home & my pet. They did an excellent job and Darrel kept me informed on the progress of the reno. The budget was also reviewed with me when changes were made.

Darrel had great design ideas and was a pleasure to work with.

I was so impressed with his work that I'm hiring him to do a kitchen & main floor renovation.

Thanks Darrel

We are extremely pleased with our new deck. Darrel did a fantastic job in the time set and it was a pleasure to deal with him at every step. He removed the old deck and hauled it away then installed the new one over a period of a few days. He was always here when he said he would be here and did exactly what we asked of him. He took the time to communicate with us every step of the way. He also kept our budget in mind and made suggestions to keep our costs as low as possible. Darrel is indeed a professional and we have no hesitation in using his company again in the future. We highly recommend Darrel to everyone.

Darrell from Measure Up was very courteous & helpful. Showed up when he said he would & completed quality work in a timely manner. I would gladly use Measure Up again in the future.

My wife and I couldn't be happier with the job that Darrel and his crew did for our basement renovation. Right from the beginning, the process was easy and done in a timely manner. The quote that Darrel gave us was fair, and he stayed very close to that number. Anything that was in question that could affect the budget was brought to our attention and Darrel had great ideas as to how to achieve our vision and stay in line. We really appreciated the attention to detail that was evident with his work. He tried and managed to match all of our existing finishes on other floors of our house, and he and his crew showed great respect for our house and belongings throughout the process. Thanks again, Darrel! We definitely recommend Measure Up!

We were desperate to get a new covering for a small deck before winter set in. Darrel had been recommended by a friend. He phoned almost as soon as I'd clicked 'send' on my email. The he came as promised and made an assessment, then he came as promised and did the work. It looks splendid and was finished before the snow. Full marks for punctuality, efficiency and courtesy.

Darrel removed our our old open deck, then designed, built and attached a new open deck that seamlessly attached to an existing covered deck. Darrel is a man you can trust to give you an honest opinion, a fair estimate and good workmanship. There were a few little imperfections, but in each case, Darrel's high standards meant we had only to point out the concern and it was dealt with. We are very happy with the end result and would not hesitate to recommend Darrel.

We are delighted with the work of the Measure Up team and we have recommended them to our friends. Their quote was quite reasonable, their lead man (Darrell) inspires confidence, and there were no bad surprises. We are proud of our new roof.

Had 3 contractors bid on the work. Darrel had the best quote. One said they could have it done in about 6 weeks. Darrel assured us he could have it done by the end of the month. Work stated on May 12 and completed on May 24. A beautiful job done by all his tradesmen. We are very happy and satisfied with all the improvements to our house. Any work in the future we will certainly contact Measure Up Contacting. Thank You Darrell and your team

At this point I have hired Measure Up Contracting for four different jobs over the space of a year ($12,000+ worth of work in 2013-2014). Darrel and his team have done excellent work every time. He is an excellent tradesman himself and seems to have a line on some great subcontractors when he has agreed to general contract some work. I don't use the Yellow Pages anymore to find a contractor -- I just call Darrel. Always courteous and fair. Worth every penny!

Darrell did a great job fixing a botched job from my home builder. My dryer is located on the second floor of my town home, and the ductwork goes directly through the attic and to the roof. For 2 winters now, whenever I ran a heavy load of laundry the steam would go through the ductwork, become condensation and vaporize and leak out one of the ductwork joints and down into the wall. I was dealing with major cracked walls and moisture damage. Darrell, replaced the metal ductwork with insulated flex ductwork and created a drip loop to fix the problem. Very professionally done. He also noticed one of the vents on the roof was loose and close to falling and fixed it free of charge. I would highly recommend him, and would definitely use his company's services again!

We hired Measure Up Contracting to repair water damage to our basement. Darrel wasn't the lowest quote that we received but he was much more thorough than anyone else. He subcontracted the foundation repair to ensure it was done by people who specialize in that work and was able to get a better rate from them than we asked for an estimate on a separate occasion. He passed the savings on to us. Unlike other contractors we've hired in the past for various projects, Darrel always arrived when he said he would and put in a full day's work. He was very courteous and exceeded our expectations by finishing before Christmas even though the timeline was very tight. From his estimate through his workmanship, Darrel's attention to detail is exceptional. He will be the first person we call for future projects.

Thanks very much Darrel!

One Friday before the first big snowfall this winter, I drove the car into the garage and bumped into my garage frame and broke my entrance garage door. I was panic and look forward to finding someone could come in to check the damage for me over the weekend.

I kept calling all resources I could find. Other than voicemail, Darrel from Measure Up contracting is the only one to pick up my phone. Thanks, God. And I even remember it's 10:30 at night. Darrel listened to my description of the garage damage and explain to me with patience all the possibility of damage could be. And he agreed to come to check the site the next day (it's a Satureday). After Darrel checking the site, he came up with the repair plan and quote right away. All the repair were done in a week. Measureup contracting's work is nice, sleek and clean. Now my garage is brand new as before. Darrel even shared a lot of house maintainance tip with my husband when he did the work for us. If my house need more work done in the future, I definitely will hire them again. Or I will recommend them to any friend that need nice contracting job done.

My husband and I own a house in Saint Albert but we live in the Arctic. Our rental property needed a new deck and we went with Darrel's company. He walked us through every step of the process, handled all the city paper work for us and answered any questions we had. He was extremely prompt in his responses. He keep us up to date as to the progress of our deck and sent us several pictures of the finished product. All in all, we are extremely pleased with his work.

Measure Up built us a two-tiered outside deck along the full side of our house in Mill Woods. We booked the build in late September 2012 but Measure Up was not able to get construction underway until May 2013. However, once the snow was gone, the deck completion was delivered within a week in early May, as promised. Darrel pulled a permit for the deck as per City of Edmonton requirements and provided the design documentation to the City. The completed deck passed inspection with flying colors -- no problems whatsoever. The choice and quality of materials was excellent, site clean-up was thorough. Darrel was courteous throughout. He kept us well-informed about his progress and always advised us about our options as the build progressed. We would hire Measure Up again, for sure.

Our company hired Measure Up Contracting Ltd. July 2013 to remove/replace the shingles, fascia, soffits, window capping and threshold repairs at our employee housing location. Darrel the Owner of Measure Up Contracting Ltd. replied to our inquiry in less than 24 hours and we received a quote within two days of initial contact. We chose Measure Up Contracting out of five other contactors based on excellent reviews from this site and because of Darrel's quick replies and competitive pricing. Throughout the project, the Measure Up Contracting crew was polite, courteous and took pride in their workmanship. The job site was always clean and well maintained by the crew too.

We highly recommend Measure Up Contracting and look forward to working with Darrel and his crew again in the near future!

We had the pleasure of having Measure Up Contracting work on our deck and complete some electrical work in the house/garage. Darrel and workers were very knowledgeable and courteous at all times. The work that needed to be done was completed in a timely and professional manner. Darrel went out of his way to make sure Don and I were happy with the results. The cleanup and taking away of old material was excellent. We will definitely be contacting Measure Up when we need future work done at our home. Overall, it was a very positive experience and we feel fortunate that we found Darrel to do this work for us.

From the start of the renovations Darrel was a true professional in every way. The tradesman he used were clean, courteous, polite and a pleasure to have around.

I hired Measure Up Contracting for a deck project. I received quotes from a few other contractors and my first impression after meeting Darrel was to hire him for the project. I am very impressed with the outcome. Darrel went above and beyond what I expected. He was very couteous, trustworthy and caring. He met the timeline that he gave me, which was very important to me. As Darrel knows, I have many other projects that need to be done on my property, and I will definitely hire his company again without any further thougt. I recommend him highly.
