As former DIY'ers we were somewhat apprehensive about using a contractor for the total renovation of our kitchen. After a false start we were directed to Sam Winkelman at SW Contracting by Living Kitchens who designed and provided cabinetry for our new kitchen. It turned out to be a good match for us.
Generally speaking, everything was without fault. Sam answered questions, offered advice and opinions when asked, and walked us through the whole procedure from start to finish. He co-ordinated everything between himself, the sub-trades and Living Kitchens so we didn't have to worry, but he still kept us in the loop. It took a little over 3 weeks to do it all. We were out of town for the first week during the initial demolition and had no problem leaving a key with Sam and he had no problem having a family member popping in now and then to see progress. Sam also took the time to text photos to us whilst we were away.
I think what most impressed us though, was the skill, knowledge and friendliness of Sam and everyone that he brought in to do the work...always willing to answer questions, share ideas, and the work was meticulous. it was also wonderful to have everything cleaned up at the end of each day.
The cost was very reasonable, much less than we expected and we definitely got more than our money's worth.
We still have more work to do in our house and plan on using SW Contracting when the time for that comes around.

Excellent work. We found Sam to be timely and meticulous. He took great care to make sure his work was to the highest standard. It was a pleasure to have him in our home because of his engaging personality, as well.

Sam Winkelman joined our project about six months after we initiated a two million renovation project at The Shores Retirement Residence in Kamloops and worked on site from February 2013 to June 2015. From the beginning, he exhibited a great work ethic, superlative quality and most importantly an affinity for providing results in a fast and cost effective manner. In achieving the organization that he eventually set up for the overall project, he was adept at hiring & weeding out the workforce and at the same time, not cutting corners. Jobs were done with deadlines met and several problems arose that he was quick to suggest alternative solutions.
Our project encompassed a 66 suites renovation, commercial kitchen re-model, hair salon update, new forty-nine seat movie lounge/theatre, new games & exercise room, new bistro, renovated main dining room (86 person capacity), staff room addition, hallways (3) update, new communication system installation, new front entrance, management offices and full main lounge update. All of this was accomplished while maintaining a working environment around a seniors' residence including patiently explaining the work to each of the inquisitive residents that daily looked for company and conversation.
I have an extensive background of thirty years plus in development & construction and Sam would be second to none in all the tradesmen that I have used over the years. I would definitely recommend him for your project if the above mentioned traits are as important to you as they were to me.
Throughout the construction process, Sam's planning and execution of each phase of the project allowed us to operate daily with minimal distraction & discomfort to our residents. We are very happy with the services provided by Sam and would highly recommend him to others looking for that rare commodity of a great project manager & tradesman.
Sincerely
