Report
We started with a vision in our heads of what our empty basement could become and we are so happy that we worked with the Chermark Renovations team! From our initial meeting with Mark we felt that he really understood our vision. We appreciated his thoughtful and creative consideration of the physical limitations (duct work, beams etc) and how we could work out a design that would best suit the space. We are so pleased with the results, they are exactly what we had envisioned. The team were professional and you could tell they enjoyed the work they were doing. From start up to clean up we are so

We had Mark, Trevor and crew in our home completely re doing our kitchen, our bathroom, a new staircase and new floors. We learned quickly that Mark, Trevor and their crew would make sure everything was completed to our satisfaction. We often times didnt know exactly what we wanted or needed but they were so patient in guiding us through a renovation during COVID. We had put these projects off for a very long time but are so thrilled with the outcome. Pretty awesome to have people over and see their reactions to the outstanding changes in our home. THANK YOU to everyone at Chermark Renovations

I recently had my bathroom completely redone. It is a relatively small room which was pretty much in its original state since 1955. Mark and Trevor completely tore it down and rebuilt an absolutely beautiful oasis and spa-like bathroom. From the first time Mark Wilson came to my home to give me the quote, which was very reasonable, to the last day of the job, he and Trevor and the rest of the team were very professional and kind at all times. They made me feel very comfortable. Their work was done in a timely fashion with complete respect for my concerns and needs. It was an absolute pleasure and
