Bathroom

Gala Kitchens has been fantastic since the get go. Since our initial meeting Scott and his team have been reliable and on time. They stay on budget and keep lines of communication open with the homeowner so you know who is coming and going. We have done a secondary bathroom with them and look forward to more work with them in the near future.

Kitchen and Bath Remodel

I would definitely recommend Gala Kitchens and Bath to anyone. The owner, Scott, was very attentive to our needs & wants. This was especially important because of the limitations in my physical abilities, so the fact that he took the time to get all the details just right was very valuable to us. He was very knowledgable about materials and provided helpful suggestions about suppliers.  Considering the fact that the kitchen and bathroom were being remodeled at the same time, he coordinated the timing of the sub-contractors & workers excellently.   At every stage, Scott communicated what would be happening in the next day or week.   Also, he always took the time to address our questions and concerns.  All the workers were very conscientious, hard-working and tidy. So, if you want a great reno experience with a contractor that goes the extra mile, then hire this company!

Bathroom re-model

Scott did a wonderful job re-modelling our small bathroom. He guided us through all options and helped us arrive at the best possible use of the space available. This involved a lot of demolition, plumbing and electrical work. Scott and his crew also pointed out some potential dangers in our existing drains that could have led to a real disaster if not taken care of it in time - and the costs charged for this extra work were minimal. Scott also took great care in helping us select tiles and fixtures, and went out of his way to accommodate our wishes. My family is very happy with the finished bathroom, with the amount he charged for his excellent work, and most of all with his very professional and friendly approach to his work. We have already asked him to do some more work in our house and look forward to contracting him for other projects. We cannot recommend Scott and his company highly enough.

Bathroom tub and tile.

Gala did a completely thorough job, installing our new bathtub, fixtures and tiles to replace our old, outdated ones. They also made a seamless repair to our kitchen ceiling, damaged badly by an earlier bathtub leak. Scott provided a lot of helpful, detailed information and advised us upfront, what to expect at each stage of the job. His team always cleaned up after themselves and worked professionally to create gorgeous results we are so pleased with. We appreciate all their efforts to make us happy - they gave us an upgrade for our bathroom that exceeded our expectations.

Kitchen and Master Bathroom Renovation

we received quotes from four other contractors and Scott’s was the most competitive. He made renovating simple and was very transparent and communicative during the entire process. He made suggestions as to where to go to choose our materials and decor and was quick to reply if we had any concerns. We felt that our satisfaction was always a priority and would definitely recommend Gala Kitchens and Bath to our friends and family.

Full basement renovation to build an independent one bedroom basement apartment.

In Aug 2017 I purchased a new house (build in the 1920's) with an unfinished basement. I searched high and low to find a contractor who I could trust to build a one bedroom apartment. My requirements where:
1: cost-effective
2: high quality (on a tight budget)
3: time sensitive
4: TRUST! I did not know what I did not know, so I needed to find someone who I could trust to deliver, not cut corners, and could take full responsibility of the entire project, but someone who would act as a business person, not simply a contractor.

I was lucky to be recommended to Gala & Scott. Scott was very thorough, understood the dilemma I was in, and guided me through the emotional roller coaster of decisions and issues which arose from start to finish. His team started work on the second week of October 2017 and finished by 20th Dec 2017.

The project was very comprehensive and included (but not limited to) leveling the floor, putting up drywall, building a furnace room, custom bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, storage space, laundry space, floor tiling and carpeting, drywall etc etc. All in all, Scott had someone on site doing something every single weekday (and some weekends) apart from three days where schedules simply could not be aligned due to last minute issues. I would highly recommend Scott and his team anytime for any size of a project. He is an excellent person to work with and I can't say enough about him, his work ethic and the quality of his work and people he hires. Thank you so much Scott.

Main bathroom reno

Scott renovated our main bathroom recently and I found him to be very knowledgeable and customer-focused. He works to high standards and so do the tradespeople he brings in to ensure the result exceeds expectations. I found him to be very flexible to deal with in how the project was approached, and he freely shares his network of suppliers to source quality materials at great prices. He was always pleasant and professional and I can highly recommend him.

Installation of new door and window

Scott Thomas has the breadth and depth of knowledge and experience to identify the scope of the project and is fully committed to seeing it through to your satisfaction.

He knows the best trades and gets the best from each of them. He responds quickly to queries, shows up on time every time, and stays on top of the job. He'll go the extra mile to look after his customers' needs. Oftentimes i have known him to offer a creative and efficient solution to a problem that is workable and saves me money.

When I decide to go ahead with an addition to my house, I will call Gala kitchens and Bath. Scott's know-how and integrity are rock solid.

Replace the faulty liner in a custom built shower

Thete was not a lot of work that had to be done but it was very work intensive because it involved removing tiles from the wall and floor of the shower before the repair could be made. Scott followed through on the time commitment he had made and completed the job when promised. He identified what the problem had been and after the new liner had been installed, finished the job with some modifications to avoid further problems and to give the shower a more pleasing finish. He also pointed out how to identify future problems. The bathroom was cleaned up at the end of each day so the other fixtures could still be used. I would definitely call on Scott again if I had any kitchen or bathroom work that needed to be done.
