Bathroom Perfection

I had Trehane Carpentry do my two bathrooms and they turned out better then my expectations. I worked initially with Sean who was great and helpfully in the planning stages. He turned me over to Jeff a wonderful polite and excellent contract who left me at easy that the work would be done professionally and it was. Rene in the office is also great as ago between as my originals plans changed and modifications had to be done. A fabulous team I would highly recommend to anyone looking fr a contractor.

3 bathroom reno/remodel May 2019

We signed with Trehane at the recommendation of a large home improvement store and were pleased with the timeliness and the quality of workmanship - on our 3 bathroom project. We dealt with Sean through the initial stage of the quote, making decisions and selecting fixtures, tile, etc then Jeff, the main contractor who was in hour home for over 20 working days. Jeff was professional, thorough and hard-working, always leaving a tidy worksite at the end of the day. He kept us informed and co-ordinated smoothly with a plumber, electrician and ceramic tiler as required and there were no delays. We also met Dave, Trehane's owner who was approachable and interested in progress and any issues.

Bathroom Renovation

Gutted the bathroom and started over. Replaced tub with a tiled shower, new floor, toilet etc.
Very happy with the work. Akram was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He answered all our questions and made suggestions. He kept the job site clean! Although it took a little longer than we thought we are ecstatic with the outcome!

Sometimes you need to spend a little extra time to get things just right. We really appreciate your patience. And that extra time is nothing in the long run and longevity of your home.

Shower unit renovation and toilet replacement

The shower unit looks great! The only minor complaints I have is that the master bedroom had more tile dust than I expected but it's my first time, so it might be standard. The other thing is that the toilet seat is not quite level. You can tell by looking at the water in the toilet seat. It's not a big deal, but it's a little annoying.

Our apologies for that. We always try to keep plastic up and runners down to reduce the dust. But it does get out anyways. We will see what we can do for better management in the future

Complete renovation of a condo

We had a major reno on our newly purchased condo a few months ago (two bathrooms, kitchen, flooring, painting and some alterations on walls and cupboards). We chose Trehane Carpentry in large part because of the helpful professional advice from their estimator, Sean, and the owner, Dave Ennor.

This was not an easy reno: the elevator was out of commission for three weeks so working material, tools, waste, etc. had to be carried up and down the stairs and kitchen cabinets and heavy appliances could not be brought up on schedule. The concrete floor had to be ground down in places to level the surface for the new hardwood flooring. We had to move in because the sale on our previous residence closed while the reno was still underway.

During all of this, the Trehane crew chief, Jeff, and his crew were courteous, flexible and resourceful in adjusting to the delays. They were always open to our comments and tried to satisfy our concerns. The electrical, plumbing and tiling subcontractors did very good work, with special mention for Kelly Konig and her painting team. As always in renovations, there have been glitches and retouching required but Dave has been very conscientious about attending to them. He really cares about doing a good job and satisfying his customers. We have no hesitation in recommending Trehane Carpentry.

This was our first major reno and I would have some advice for others like us: prepare a detailed layout plan for switches, outlets, b/b heaters, alterations, etc. because change orders cause delays and extra costs; go over the initial contract and any change orders with Trehane in detail to understand how and when work will proceed; be very specific about the material and accessories to be purchased and make sure they are available in-store because delivery delays can set back work for a week or more; be available to discuss and okay any changes that have to be made during the working day, so that things do not get slowed down.

Make Sure You Get Everything In Writing

Invoice said "run outlets, switches, and lights". Later when I said that was supposed to be a recessed outlet and dimmer switch, they said no, I didn't say that. My word against their word. After arguing, they finally agreed to install them, but it would be two weeks to get the parts. I said I would do it myself. Lesson learned, get every detail in writing. Asked for a proper receipt that showed the amount paid to Trehane for extra work. After arguing, the owner agreed to give me a proper receipt. Workmanship is fine. Paperwork and customer relations need to be improved.

I'm sorry your disappointed in the process Brad. To say you didn't get a receipt is false however. As outlined in our contract signing, we use the contract which has 3 payments laid out as the final receipt. And when you requested another receipt it was provided prior to the second payment.
The second portion about the dimmer and recessed outlet was also discussed and written down as "declined by client". Even though there was a misunderstanding to that, we said we would eat that cost and install it. My apologies to the wait time provided of 5-7 business days as the recessed outlet was on back order. There was never an argument about it, things had to be clarified however so a discussion had to be conducted.

As was mentioned to you, we are more than happy to install these 2 items at our cost for you. Just let us know.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your finished space, and we apologize that this minor misunderstanding soured you on your completed basement
