Really great guys, but a bit sloppy. We had Oslo do a basement renovation for us and were very pleased with how friendly and professional they were. They were reliable, affordable, trustworthy and worked efficiently. We were somewhat disappointed with the finished product in that several items they completed were done quite sloppily (i.e. paint with lint and flexs all over that we ended up sanding and fixing ourselves; some spotty/sloppy areas with drywalling; grout work on tiles sloppy - piled in corners and missing in spots between several mosaic tiles). Not sure if I'd recommend them for that reason, but otherwise excellent people to work with.
Hi Pam,
Thankyou for your honest review, without honest reviews the point of this system is probably flawed. I suppose the one unfortunate thing about the situation is we were never contacted and given the opportunity to come fix these deficiencies for you. All of our final conversations were of the pleased variety and in the following months it was not brought to our attention. The items you mentioned are all easy fixes and had we been given the chance, I think you would have been quite pleased with the remedy & service.
That said, Thankyou again for using us and hopefully in the future we can have a chance to rectify the situation.
Best,
Jeff
We started out with a simple modification and ended up with a beautiful new kitchen,thanks to the many suggestions & hours spent by Jeff.
We have received many, many compliments about the rather unique backsplash & fireplace modifications ; and have a beautiful new granite counter tops to match.
The work was done on time & within our budget (which kept being updated, due to extras we kept adding on ).
We would without question ask Oslo to do any aother work for us.
Oslo design helped us with a large yard landscaping project including retaining walls, planters, sod, sprinkler system, etc. They coordinated their piece of the project with our builder and other trades/craftsmen who were doing work on the site at the same time. Oslo identified some problems that hadn't been noticed by other trades and then worked with the builder/trades to overcome them. The end result was much better than it would've been had they not been around. Not only would we recommend them, we're having them back to help do more landscaping. Jeff was very interested in understanding what we wanted to achieve, both aesthetically and functionally, and we're very happy with the results. Their fees were fair and reasonable and when we realized that the lot grading was done poorly by the builder's trades, and as a result, Oslo would have to completely redo a large rundle rock retaining wall, they were able to negotiate a very fair price with the stone worker for the "do-over". We wish Oslo Design continued success!
We had a great experience using Oslo Design and will definitely be calling them with our next renovation project. We worked with them on designing our basement bathroom, and they were very accomodating (bringing tile and other samples to the house for us to consider, which is very much appreciated by people with small children) and a lot of fun to work with. They were courteous and professional, and always left their work clean and tidy at the end of the day. They finished our bathroom in record time, and we are very happy with the end result. And everyone who has seen the bathroom loves it!
I was very impressed with their efficiency. I had my basement developed which Jeff demonstrated incrediable gift in design. Not only did I received excellent quality workmanship within my budget but OSLO provided upgrades to enhance the finished product. I would have no problem having OSLO do another project. I highly recomment OSLO for any renovation or development.

We had Jeff and his group bid on and build a retaining wall and fence for us. They did a quality job, and stuck with their quoted price, even when there was a significant unforeseen addition to the project. Communications were timely and requests responded to quickly.
