Highly recommend working with VDR on any home renovations! Jose and Luis did an absolutely amazing job from start to finish on our bathroom renovation and it turned out even better than we expected. They were extremely responsive throughout the entire project, were able to work out solutions quickly to maintain the design we were looking for and kept us informed along the way. Every person as part of their team was easy to work with and took their time to ensure everything was done right and professionally.
We were very pleased with the work that VDR Renovations did on our master en-suite. Jose and Luis were friendly, personable and easy to work with. The demolition was quick and installation of items was to our entire satisfaction. Any issues were attended to quickly. Communication was very good which we very much appreciated. These folks really do take pride in doing a job done well and we would highly recommend.
Wow! VDR Renovations completely transformed my dark, cramped workspace into a bright, functional kitchen with lots of cupboards. Jose and Luis had lots of creative ideas on the best ways to use the space and I couldn't be happier. They really listened to what I wanted and were always available to answer questions. I had a limited budget but they found innovative ways to meet my goals. They're fantastic!!
