The Sasen team made our kitchen and bathroom renovation a reality! From design to deconstruction to construction and all the finicky finishing touches, the team did it with integrity and professionalism and a sense of humour. Our new kitchen and bathroom are beautiful, functional and we love it! We really enjoyed working with Sasen and will definitely do it again.

I hired Matthew to work with me on renovation of my newly acquired, tiny condo in Kits. I had a relatively tiny budget for my fertile imagination, so it was a challenging job. Here are a few highlights that might be interesting to others looking to hire a contractor:
1. Trust. I found Matthew, his employees and sub-trades to be entirely trustworthy. They did what they promised. They kept me informed and found solutions. Without fail.
2. Quality. These guys do good work. Finishing is where it counts in my view. One example is Peters elegant surgery on prebuilt units to fit around plumbing,

All of the contractors coming to our home were professional, respectful of our property and us. The job did take a
