Interiors With Elegance

Very professional and lovely to deal with. I had a complete bathroom renovation done and couldn't be happier. The team was amazing and genuinely take pride in their work. I highly recommend!

We just had our ensuite renovated and we are thrilled with the outcome. The workmanship is outstanding. Wayne and his team are great - professional, courteous and very helpful.

I worked with Interiors with Elegance numerous times. They renovated my Edgemont home and my Mission condo. Those were both renovations. In the Edgemont house, they added an elevator (the elevator company commended them for building such a straight shaft!) and they made the entire house wheelchair-accessible (beautiful roll-in shower, roll-under sink, they raised the sunken family room floor, installed gorgeous sapele hardwood flooring). They were professional, knowledgeable, on-time, kind, tidy (they cleaned up at the end of every day) and did what they said they would do. It was a honest pleasure working with Interiors with Elegance. I cannot recommend them more highly. Interiors with Elegance is AWESOME!

Interiors with Elegance recently completed an upgrade to my condo kitchen and bathrooms. I am very pleased with the final result, and with the quality of customer support, workmanship and ethical methodology throughout the process. They helped with every stage, from design, to choosing materials, to the finished product. I highly recommend this company.

Flesher Marble and Granite We have been doing work for Interiors With Elegance for 15 years . They are very professional and there job sites are extremely clean.Starting with Wayne and is Office staff to the installers on site , we have never experienced a problem. I would highly recommend them for any renovation project . Victor Cioffi

Not sure what happened with this company, but they displayed a lack of knowledge and care while handling our renovations. A few years now and many issues, many imperfections. So many good reviews online yet it seems we got the short end of the stick as there is no way our job was done right. Sure my wife and I were naive and thought we would get a dream kitchen, but now I have learned so much from doing things myself and having other contractors in that WOW did we ever get ripped off. Certainly would not happen again as I know better, but they really took advantage of us. They screwed up our hardwood floor, drywall, and cabinets installation, poorly planned our countertops causing us to do it our selves, misinformed us on cabinet doors, insulation and plumbing, broke our furnace and busted water pipes flooding our electrical panel. I am concerned on stuff I did not see. My wife and I were very busy (each had jobs and a 1 year old) and never had renovation experience. We were very naive and were being very nice and polite. We paid them (but should not have and stood up). They lied to use on multiple occasions, were aggressive at times, and always had an excuse for the issues we pointed out. DO NOT USE. So many other companies to choose from. We got played, I hope no one else does. My wife and I paid over $100,000K figures for an IWE partial kitchen/main floor renovation of a 1977 built house. We had just purchased the house, had a 1-year old, and both with demanding jobs, and had zero renovation experience. We decided to go with IWE as they were very convincing (turns out the sales guy did not even work with them bust was a hired gun) that they could deliver a high-quality product in a few months. They were significantly more money that the few independent contractors we talked with, but we felt the ‘sale of piece of mind’ was worth it, we did not want a horror story renovation. Well we got one. This company is a total joke. Expensive and delivering a ‘worse than do it yourself’ quality installation. These was no transparency from them, many issues during the renovation negating the ‘hassle-free all-in-one’ service we wanted/paid for, and the final installation of drywall, floors, and cabinets just terrible (all unlevel/uneven leading to issues). We should have known something was wrong from the start. After two visits to our house and reviewing the scope of work they said they would do a high-level transformation for under $80,000 (our budget). We paid $1600 to get a complete design (should have known this was a scam). Well a design and vague contract was presented to us with a price of $120,000. Shocking, should have walked away, but we felt committed (wife wanted this renovation done) and settled on a $100,000 price with us doing several things (some demolition, painting, floors, baseboards, doors, appliances, dishwasher/sink installation and plumbing). Looking back the contract was so vague we never should have signed. NOTE TO ALL, ensure any contract is extremely detailed, down do the level of floors and type/number of outlets covers). They tried so often to not do work that we thought was included. It was such a battle every week. In the end the final product is just OK looking but riddled with imperfections. Below are a few specific details on some major issues: Design: Overall not bad. Some great points (cabinets around the sink) and some low points. The island is large and L-shaped and honestly just not right for the room. Clearly better designs, but I guess that is on us as we wanted an L-shape, but maybe a more experienced contractor would have given more options. Big sour point is the space over the oven. Originally, we wanted a microwave but IWE said that is tacky and a hood fan would be much better. We too their advice and settled on a hood fan with box. While the fan is fine, the box is one piece, crooked, and a panel instead of doors above the fan. The MW sits in the island cabinet. We have a major lack of space and thus putting the MW above the oven with cabinet above the MW (like almost all houses and what we originally suggested) would have been best. THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING and ARE NOT GOOD AT INTERIOR DESIGN. We should have better planned and hired a real interior designer. Floor: We purchased our solid hardwood from a bigbox store and got a quote to install at $3800. Owing to issues with scheduling we asked IWE if they could do the floors, they said yes and quoted $4500. We assume they would do a high-quality job and agreed to the higher price. Floors we installed on a unlevel and/or not cleared of debris subfloor. Our floors are now slated in many spots, have large bumps or depressions in many key walking areas, many large gaps between boards, many lose and flexible boards, many boards not level leading to sharp edges. Floors were installed to tight leading to bowing in the summer and significant flex. Many floorboards were installed without being inspected first thus boards with checks, defects, and small sizes are scattered about. Boards around fireplace and stairs not cut to proper length leaving an ugly/sloppy finished look. Too any finishing nails used, jig saw used to cut out furnace vents leading to rough edges, and so much more. After the fact we had our floors professionally inspected confirm wood was good and install was issue. Big regret needs to be redone in future. Drywall was not sanded to a level nor were we given any option of drywall finishing. All square with right corners. Very low-quality finish. Many areas were not drywalled correctly and are patchy/spotty. The lack of care with the dry wall did lead to big issues with the cabinet installation and baseboards. With both the floor and drywall poor quality installation, our cabinets are not level. They slant downwards east to west, have large gaps in between wall and upper cabinets. Fridge does not sit level. Runner boards on bottom not level with floor. Overall a low-quality rush job. Cabinets themselves look OK besides the lines. Boxes/shelves made of standard MDF or particle board. See no difference from big box store so not sure why so pricey, I know they are ‘custom’ but the gaps and crooked lines negate that. Big issue with the doors. We paid and signed for 5-piece wood. 4-piece wood frame with HDF panel was installed. Very disappointed and still trying to get fixed. Completely lied too and cheated! Pretty much ruins our cabinets. Especially now that the paint has minor chips on the wood, thus our boards will destress, but the panel always look new. Every chance they tried to avoid completing the job and owing up to mistakes. Our house was vacant during the renovation. They use our utilities and never paid, use our bathrooms and never cleaned. Our furnace broke and they said it was our problem. The covered up our furnace humidistat wires and left use to deal with the issue. They burst a water pipe and soaked our electrical panel. Left us to deal with it. They never cleaned up after sanding the drywall, left us to deal with it. Installed a doorbell but never changed transformer so it does not work, said we had to. Never told us ceiling insulation as not standard thus I had to rush out, buy $500 worth, and install myself day before drywall. Forced us to pay extra for plumbing corrections under a dropdown ceiling (we made it clear from the start that the dropdown was to be removed, thus one would assume they would build that into the price. Honestly there were so many issues I cannot believe we paid them looking back on the entire processes. A HUGE mistake was trust them on removal of walls, they claimed some walls could not be removed, now I question that as they were just trying to do a quick job and make extra money, and we are left wonder if a few obstructing walls could have been torn down. We did catch a huge issue with the countertops. Right before they were to be installed, I found out the island was coming in as two pieces. A quick call to a few stores revealed you could do our size in one piece. I did stand up and complain and after much back and forth they agreed to cancel the countertops BUT we then had to do it our selves. This took 4-weeks. What a total JOKE this company is. No transparency as they should have showed us how the slabs would be installed. In the end there are so many things that were bad. With all the options you have please avoid this company. You can find me online and I can share many more details. My wife and I feel just gutted now (after having the processes being digested) that we were taken advantage of and never given he dream kitchen we wanted. They got lots of cash and we got stuck living in a low-quality renovation with much disappointment.

This is the 2nd time we have used IWE and they did an excellent job once again! Would highly recommend them!

We had Interiors with Elegance do a renovation of our master bedroom en-suite shower and tiling. They were very professional and considerate. Always cleaned up at the end of the day. It took a little longer than what I thought it should, and the finished product looked great.

Extremely happy with the work performed by Interiors with Elegance. Beautiful new bathroom, and it is stunning! Very nice people to work with, and they left my home clean!!

Interiors With Elegance (IWE) was recommended to us by friends who have used them for multiple renovations. We had IWE do some renovations in our kitchen and a complete re-do of our master bath. From our first contact with Wayne Denman we have been very comforable with everything they do - from the initial site review, work scoping, layout and design, cost estimating, and actual work execution. Lisa was very helpful with design suggestions and material selection. Dave and the rest of the construction crew were extremely attentive to detail and the finish of the work. It was obvious they take pride in their work. We were out of town while much of the work was being done but we felt secure in leaving the house and work in their hands. We were kept updated with construction reports and photos on a regular basis and we were able to communicate via email and phone whenever there were any questions that needed to be dealt with. We are very pleased with result and we are currently working with IWE on another renovation. I think there are probably renovation contractors out there who could have completed the work cheaper and possibly even quicker. However, we were not in a hurry to get the work done and we were prepared to pay a small premium for quality work.

We thank Interiors With Elegance for their insight in planning, helpful approach and a wonderful result. Our complete Kitchen renovation is a beautiful blend of function and elegance. More significant is that the renovation was completed with a very careful attention to detail, such that if each detail was not perfect initially it was soon remedied to make it so. The Interiors With Elegance work crews were clean, careful and a pleasure to have in our home. Special thanks to Bill, Dave and Wayne for your consideration, patience and pleasant response to our every request. For any future renovation we might have, these folks will be at the top of our list as both planners, and contractors.

We are completely satisfied with our kitchen renovation by Interiors with Elegance. Darrin helped us with the latest ideas and Wayne made sure everything was done on time and well with great attention to detail. Any time we had a question it was answered promptly. Jason, George and Bill were so pleasant that we were sorry to see them leave!

We just had our master bedroom and ensuite done as well as our kids bathroom. We could not be more pleased with the design and workmanship that Interiors with Elegance provided us! From day one of designing to the last day of the project, this Team was extremely professional, respectful, punctual and hard working. They worked full days until completion and were always respectful of our personal space. Our place was left spotless at the end of everyday. We could not be happier with the result and feel as though everything was so well thought out that we wouldn't possibly change a thing! We would most definitely hire this company back for future renovations.....we cannot rave enough!!! Thank you so much, Interiors With Elegance......we look forward to having you back!!!

Working with IWE began with a feeling. Comparing our experience with Darrin and others who came to provide a quote for the renovation, it was clear early on that we would be in good hands. Darrin is extremely personable and provided us with helpful suggestions to make our vision for the kitchen work. The IWE team share a commitment to excellence and have the skills to make this a reality. Attention to detail, quality of workmanship, timely completion of each phase of the Reno, and being responsive to our questions was a consistent experience. My wife and I love the new kitchen and recommend IWE without reservation.

Interiors With Elegance provided excellent customer service and craftsmanship in product. Although our project might not have been the biggest in scope it required customization that was only realized after the fact (no fault of their own) to which IWE provided as a complimentary service. Two big thumbs up! I would recommend to friends and family. Open, honest, and very patient especially in the design phase.

I have been working with Interiors with Elegance and would recommend them to all my clients! They are a very organized company that provides wonderful customer service and take great care in all their projects and clients.

Scope of work: Kitchen island addition, laundry room and den total renovation, electrical upgrade, main floor and stairs hardwood floor replacement, ceiling asbestos abatement A friend recommended Interiors With Elegance (IWE) to us for our renovation. We feel fortunate to have hired them. Our project was on budget and largely on schedule. IWE maintained high quality standard and we are very happy with the final product. IWE showed their capability, passion to the quality and professionalism throughout the planning, material selection and execution of the scope of work. IWE paid attention not only to the apparent work scope but also to the details such as communication, site preparation and protection and daily cleaning. It is very impressive that everyone including all the trades workers have been very courteous. In summary, we are very satisfied with their work and impressed by their team. We would recommend IWE to anyone without hesitation.

Jason is skilled in all aspects of work. Clean up excellent. Arrival time estimate uncanny. Communication effective. Estimated day of finish accurate which was very appreciated.

IWE did a kitchen extension for us about 3 years ago. It was a great experience for us. We got exactly what we envisioned. So I am the "return of the happy customer". I called them to install a custom AV system recently. Done. Looks awesome. I called them again last week to install and repair some cork tile after some water damage. Done. Perfect job. Thanks to Darrin, Wayne and Cory and the rest of the crew Jim, Cinde Justin & Astrid our Hound Dog

We had Interiors with Elegance design and remodel our kitchen. Without question-- we were floored!!-- Truly an impressive and amazing job! They stuck to time lines- kept us in the loop for issues or changes, and were extremely clean each and every day. Price was a concern for us and they kept within our budget throughout the whole process. The workers were kind and courteous and respected our space. We highly recommend and will do doubt promote this company for years to come. Thank you Interiors with Elegance for spectacular job. You opened up our whole main floor and truly looks like it came from a catalog.

Interiors with Elegance completed our main common bathroom renovation this past summer. Lots of custom work and special requests were handled very professionally and with enthusiasm. Communication with the Project Manager, Wayne, was very good which is always appreciated. Working with Kim the designer was also a great experience. We're very happy with our custom bathroom and have and will continue to recommend IWE to others looking for a renovation contractor.

Interiors With Elegance was an excellent company to work with. Ours was a small renovation in comparison to some of the homes Interiors with Elegance works with but we were never treated with any less importance or respect than one of their bigger clients. My budget was very important to me and the owner Darrin worked with me one on one to make sure I got the most for my money. The workers left my house vacuumed and mopped every night. The attention to detail so that my house would not be a dusty mess was amazing. Years ago we used another company with many awards to finish our basement. The work ethic and attention to detail that Interiors with Elegance put into our kitchen put this other company to shame. Interiors With Elegance exceeded my expectations every time. I would not hesitate to use this impressive company again.

IWE did an amazing job on our kitchen renovation. This is the second project we had them complete for us (first was a bathroom), and as with the first project, they did not disappoint. The kitchen was completed on time, within budget, and the end result is a fabulous new kitchen that we love. They employ excellent individuals with excellent skill levels and high customer service focus and use high quality tradespeople. As with all renovations, there were a few "bumps" along the way, but what sets IWE apart from others is the friendly, courteous manner in which they deal with the situation. They welcome feedback (positive or negative) and take pride in doing a good job. Everyone (ourselves AND IWE) has the same goal: to end up with a beautiful kitchen with quality workmanship. We will most certainly use them for a third time (and more), we won't even consider others. Previous renos completed on our home by other companies haven't turned out NEARLY as well as the two projects completed by IWE

Interiors With Elegance designed, managed and executed the renovation of our kitchen. From the moment we met their representative, we knew we would be working with a competent team of people. We explained to them that we wanted function and flow in the design as we regard this room as a working kitchen as opposed to a showpiece. As a result, we received both. The renovation included ceiling removal, cabinetry replacement, wall removal, rewiring, replumbing; the only thing that was original was the flooring. Their design team understood immediately our needs, wants and style. The design team showed patience, creativity and care. Their cabinetry work is spectacular and is an artpiece in our new kitchen. The onsite crew showed great care in their work and respected our home as they worked. We always felt a strong sense of competency, respect and professionalism. To the surprise of many we only have stories of praise to tell of this renovation experience.

I have used Interiors with Elegance twice over the past two years and have found them, from the onset, to be extremely professional and respectful. From the beginning they were able to see my vision and also made extremely helpful suggestions. From the tear down to completion their staff were pleasant to have around and professional making sure that their work site was left each night in a tidied state. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company and intend. without any doubt, to use them again for my future renovations

An excellent firm, lets see the have redone our three bathrooms one year and then out basement the following year. Since then we call them back for occasional other little jobs and no matter how small the respond. Extremely polite, professional and excellent workmanship. We will call them again

This was our second project with IWE, and we chose them because of the amazing work they had done on our main bathroom two years ago. This project involved gutting the main floor of our 4-level split. They removed all the walls, took everything down to studs, built an addition onto the front for a foyer, and built a deck on the back of the house. All new windows and doors and residing the entire house. They then rebuilt my kitchen, turning it from the original 1960's nightmare to a thing of beauty!! We now have an amazing open concept home, with a real entryway complete with storage for kids' sports gear and benches. From our first meeting with Cam, through design, planning and the actual building, it was a real pleasure to work with IWE. Our project manager Wayne is a gem. We always felt like no question was too small. The workers were so respectful and kind of fun to have around! The project did have one or two hiccoughs, but Wayne and Darrin dealt with them quickly, professionally and we really felt like they were there to take care of us and our home! Great people, Great Work!

IWE just completed an ensuite bathroom and master closet install. The bathroom was completely gutted, as well as the adjoining bedroom. Start to finish, all the staff and contractors were pleasant, professional and extremely tidy. As an owner in a townhouse condo complex, cleanliness was very important. The planning, design and drafting process was excellent.Tear out and construction was on time, and went smoothly. Both Darrin and Wayne as project manager answered many of my questions quickly and addressed any concerns immediately - even when faced with a few changes along the way. Interiors' attention to the small details has made my ensuite a real showpiece. The quality of the finish is wonderful. The custom built-in bedroom wall closet and furnishings were finished exactly as planned, and are a pleasure to use. Thanks to Interiors for a very fine job.

We interviewed several companies to renovate our kitchen and (3) bathrooms before connecting with Darrin from IWE. His enthusiasm, experience and ideas he brought to the table made for an easy decision to hire his firm over the others. Right from the beginning Darrin made my husband and I comfortable with the process. He was also able to take what could have been a stressful experience and make it into a fun and enjoyable one as we went through the design and selection stage. In a couple of instances, Darrin gently nudged me out of my comfort zone of which in retrospect I am very grateful as the end results were fantastic. Once the final selections were made, we were “smoothly handed over” to Wayne, the Production Manager, who is responsible for the actual renovation. The scheduling and organization of the renovation was masterfully orchestrated with few interruptions due only to materials arriving later than expected. When unexpected problems did arise they were promptly and efficiently resolved. Dave did the majority of the construction which is of outstanding quality. The care and attention Dave and his assistant Zac provided to our home during this phase was gratefully appreciated. Each day they covered our carpets and hardwood to minimize dust from the construction and at the end of each day the area was dusted and vacuumed. We are extremely pleased with the outcome of the kitchen upgrades and the bathroom renovations, but the ensuite is the “piece de resistance”….our own in house spa. The customer service and quality provided by all of the staff at IWE was exceptional and we will definitely give Darrin a call for future renovation projects. Special thanks to Darrin, Kim, Wayne and Dave for making our project become a reality.

We had a great experience with the team at Interiors with Elegance. Many thanks to Darin, Wayne and the amazing support staff. We received superior commitment and professionalism from all the craft trades. My family had a vision of a perfect kitchen. Their team made it a reality. The IWE interactive process on design, colors, and material choices right down to meeting the cabinet builder provided peace off mind in such a major undertaking. Lets just say… We are looking forward to working on the next stage of our renovation. Shelly

Interiors With Elegance has just completed the second major renovation for us; first it was our kitchen which continues to receive rave reviews. The second renovation just completed is our ensuite bathroom. In both instances, we had the existing area gutted and completely re-done. The bathroom, like the kitchen is a showpiece - right from the products used to the superior workmanship. Right from the design stage through every step of development, the service excelled. Probably the most notable quality displayed by Interiors with Elegance is their construction process. Not only does one trade follow the next without lags in time, but every day the Interiors staff and sub-constructors clean each area of your home affected and remove as much waste materials as possible, so you can continue to function in your home. Their focus on customer service is exemplary. If we ever plan another renovation, we make one phone call only - to Interiors with Elegance. Thank you Darrin, Wayne and Cory for another amazing job.

We had our kitchen renovated. This involved replacing the floor tiles in the kitchen and entry hall; taking down a large part of the ceiling so as to replace the track lighting with pot-lights and pendants; re-orienting some of the kitchen cabinets so as to enable the sink to be relocated; replacing some cupboards with drawers; installing quartz counter tops and new tiles for the backsplash;and installing new appliances. Dave and Steve, supervised by Wayne, did most of the work, but an electrician was brought in to do the electrical and a specialist to replace the ceiling. Some more junior people assisted Dave and Steve from time to time. All the work was of the highest quality. The new cabinet work was an exact match with the old and the new ceiling was so well done one cannot see the join with the original. Dust was well controlled and the great room was dusted and vacuumed each day after work. As a separate and later project we had similar work done in the bathrooms, also done by Steve. This involved some cabinet work, new granite counters and new sinks, new plumbing fixtures on sink, bath and showers, and new lighting. Again the work was of the highest quality and when problems were encountered a way was found to solve them. In conclusion, we were most impressed by the dedication and conscientious way these people performed.
