Message: Des did an amazing job for our home. He's very professional and detail oriented, discovered many problems while replacing our hardwood floors and kitchen reno and always kept us informed and created great solutions for the problems. We had many bad stories with contractors in the past and couldn't be happier that we found Des! by far the best in Ottawa. He really takes pride from his amazing work and converted our very problematic house in a very enjoyable home. Thanks Des!

Message: We hired Des based on a friends recommendation. From our initial meeting with Des to after the work was completed Des was a joy to work. For anyone looking for contractor you will not find a fairer, harder working, more skilled contractor then Des. He managed to create the basement of our dreams complete with bathroom, kitchen/bar, media room (7.1 surround/projector) and fireplace (the fireplace install was completed by a subcontractor he recommended). Now whenever I want to go to the "Dream Home" I simply go into my basement :). Thanks Des

Message: Des did a fantastic job with our main floor reno. It involved taking out the wall between our dining/living room and installing hardwood flooring in those two rooms which looks great. Another wall between the living/dining and kitchen area was opened up giving us the open concept that we were looking for. Now that we've done the painting and re-decorating, it looks fabulous. Des is extremely hard-working, professional and knowledgeable. The job was done on time and on budget. Des is also very funny guy which is always a plus in my opinion. We would not hesitate to hire Des again in the future. Hvala ti Des - It was a pleasure getting to know you; we're very pleased with your work. Mary & Andrew

Message: We are extremely satisfied with the work Des completed in our basement. The transformation of the basement over a brief period of time was nothing short of remarkable. We went from a large unfinished open space to an intricately detailed living area complete with a sound isolated media room, workout room, main recreational space including a wet bar and a desk work area as well as a large guest bedroom, 3 piece washroom and an additional finished storage room. Des worked tirelessly during the entire project to complete it on schedule. He is very reliable, skilled, efficient, meticulous and professional at all times. The high quality of his workmanship and attention to detail is made very apparent in the final product. Although extensive renovations can be obtrusive to everyday life, not having multiple subcontractors in and out completing different tasks eliminated the disruptions to our busy schedules. We were lucky to have heard of Desimprovements when we were looking to hire someone to finish our basement. More often than not, it is almost impossible to find someone as diligent and hardworking. His work ethic is second to none and his pride of workmanship is reflected in our finished product. We highly recommend Des to anyone looking for someone to complete work in their home. The whole family was sad to see him go and we will definitely use his services for future projects. In fact, our children keep asking when Des is coming back to renovate other areas of the house.

Message: Des just completed our bathroom reno. We had a small acrylic shower that came with the condo when we purchased it 10 years ago. Des removed the acrylic stall and tiled it instead. He added two spacious niches (with mosaic tiles). There's now so much space! The shower now feels like a high-end hotel shower. Des is punctual, meticulous and was able to solve issues quickly when they arose. Most appreciated were the little additional touches; like the door stoppers, fixing the breakfast eating bar... We're very satisfied with the renovation work done! The bathroom looks amazing!
