Ridgewater Homes Ltd

Ridgewater and the owner Daryl Berden was nice until we signed the contract for renovation of our home in Cloverdale.

After that, overinflated invoices where pouring.

He changed the agreed commission for the trades. But on top of that he added countless hours of work that he has not done and we couldn't verify.

He charged commission on the work that we did with our trades. He even wanted commission on the appliances we bought ourselves. He easily overcharged by 70,000 dollars. We where forced to end the contract.

The quality of work was very poor.

We had a leak from the main bathroom into the living room soon after they finished but they do not stand behind their work.

We insisted to give us the permits for the plumbing and electrical work, but we received none. We asked the receipts for the checks we issued but we received none.

The damages he produced are too many to write here.

This is a real review and we are ready to show their work to everyone interested.

Ridgewater Homes and the team completed our renovations for the business on time, with excellent quality and kept us up to date with constant communications. Even when we made changes, they were there leading and managing the entire process from start to finish. Highest Recommendations possible.

I highly recommend Ridgewater Homes, they are professionals, responsive and on time every day! They keep the job site clean, organized and do it all very quietly. Would recommend them to anyone that looking for any work in the house. Thank you very much for my new bathroom.

We had a great experience working with Ridgewater Homes. Daryl had his team here and they worked quickly and efficiently. We had quite the mess for them 2 holes made by somone wrongly installing a window and a sliding door. Ridgewater had reframed and had a stucco team come and finish the back wall. Great work.

From start to finish this company is professional and more importantly in this industry, reliable and ethical. Working with Daryl and Justin primarily, they came right away for evaluation and estimate. They were flexible with my requirements and had a written contract and budget very quickly. They far exceeded my time requirements and came in right on budget with quality work that we were very happy with.

They made sure we were fully satisfied with the work and even added a few extras that were not required. I was most impressed that they take pride in and stand behind their work. We will definitely be using them for larger projects in the future and highly recommend this company.

I am very happy I used Ridgewater Homes. They worked on the outside of my home in February when it was wet and cold.

They did an awesome job. I told them that I didn't think they could match the siding, but to "do what they could". And they did, I don't know how, but they matched it beautifully.

Also, they did an amazing job in the bathroom. The toilet that was there was installed incorrectly and made my home look like a dump, They removed the toilet and installed a new one, took care and pride in their work. Now my bathroom shines with the new tile and toilet.

No regrets here!

I was impressed by Daryl's consultation I experienced. I originally requested a quote ASAP for removing the existing ceiling in my basement and install new insulation and new ceilings and thought this would solve the noise issue between the basement and upstairs. This would cost a lot of money and hassle. Daryl, the owner of Ridge Water Homes, responded to my request timely and asked for a bit more info on the project and pictures. I provided them. He quickly responded back with his assessment of the primary cause of the problem and recommended a simple and cost effective solution. The solution would not give Daryl any business to do to make money on the project. I was impressed by his honesty and accuracy as his conclusion matched with the conclusion made by someone who came to the suite. Therefore, I recommend his company to anyone looking for a contractor to tackle their projects. Daryl is knowledgeable, honest and quick in addressing issues accurately.

I am a roofing contractor (DC Roofing Inc) I have been working with Daryl at Ridgewater Homes for about 5-6 years on many projects. Before Ridgewater started Daryl worked with another company as a project manager. I found him to be the most honest & organized PM in the company & when he started his own company had no hesitations about working with him again.

Always excellent work & very professional. I definitely would recommend Ridgewater for your home project.

After meeting with a few other contractor we chose Ridgewater based on their detailed and outlined estimate and the prompt communication. The team understood our budget, needs and vision which was very important to us. I feel they found ways to save us money and time and let us be involved when we wanted to be. As with any major Reno you get the unknown surprises that you don't see coming but that was not the fault of the contractor or any of his trades. Overall we are extremely happy with the job and the team and felt we received great care and value.
