“We recently engaged Corbet Custom Design to fully renovate our 2,700 square foot apartment and we couldn’t be happier with the results. This was a large job which included complete gutting of all rooms and replacement of all fixtures, appliances, cabinets, flooring, windows and decking. The main living space was transformed from a compartmentalized, outdated design to a bright and airy, open plan layout. Tracy was attentive to every detail from earliest planning to occupancy permit. Tracy starts with a fabulous sense of design. Every space, every colour, every texture and nuance are carefully considered and delivered to perfection. Yet she is always budget conscious. Overseeing all materials, fixtures, appliances, cabinets and sub trades, Tracy kept us on track with our costs throughout the 5 month job. And she finished right on schedule, which allowed us to move on the planned date. All the while, Tracy oversaw every detail of our renovation, ensuring the work was complete to the highest standards. The end result is so much more beautiful and livable that we had ever imagined. This is where we believe Tracy’s true vision is proven. We would recommend Corbet design without any hesitation - they are simply first rate! Ellen and Cal Shumiatcher, West Vancouver”

“A friend whose home I really like (design, feeling of solidity and comfort, use of natural and/or recycled building materials) strongly recommended her builder to me, Michael Dragland, so I contacted him. I had asked my friend "what about the problems building contractors are legendary for, such as not keeping appointments, being flaky, not communicating well, and so on" and she said the communications with Michael were one of his strong points, one of the things she had been the most happy with. Michael prepared some sketches based on the ideas I gave him (I had a certain floorplan in mind inspired by a house I had owned previously), we chose a "look and feel" that we wanted to be unpretentious, understated, elegantly simple. Now, everyone who comes over says the LOVE our house, how it looks and feels. Our house feels as solid as a rock, like it will last forever. From a fir tree that had to come down for the site, the many and beautifully-visible posts and beams (exterior and interior) were cut from that tree, along with I would say 2/3 of our interior framing lumber (which Michael chose to make thicker and wider than convention, for that more solid long-lasting feel). The other specialists (besides the saw-miller) who Michael chose were the best .. he knows the right people to ask .. the grading contractor, the tree experts (we had some limbing done), the interior painters, the custom window maker, the buy who tiled our bathroom, etc ... Michael has got a team of amazing collaborators he was worked with, ad labourers that he has worked with whom I trusted, were polite and professional, showed up when promised, cleaned up when finished, did not overcharge us, earned my trust and future recommendations. Each Friday Michael and crew cleaned up, swept the house floors, tidied up the site. He efficiently brought in a construction tent (or two) where everything was neatly placed or stacked. His crews did not toss litter everywhere like I've seen on many sites. As much as possible all "used" wood was recycled ... instead of the usual on-site dumpster that gets full and trucked off to the landfill with used and discarded bits of framing wood, trash/garbage was kept to a minimum and Michael made sure to re-use as much as possible. For example, the plywood sheets used to "form" the concreted basement walls got re-used as sub-floor materials for the main floor, most of the 2x4s were similarly re-used, and Michael re-purposed the scaffolding planks (used to install upper windows and siding, etc.) for a large interior built-in desk-top and a couple of built-in wall-benches ... as much as possible, stuff was re-used instead of sent to the dump. We love our home. It is peaceful, solid, and zen-like. It was a pleasure working with Michael and with every one of his team-members that were brought in to help. I referred a friend, she engaged Michael for a major renovation/room-addition, and have recommended him to many others without hesitation -- Michael Dragland is a great choice for home-builders who don't want to generate excessive waste and who believe in recycling and reusing materials when possible to reduce environmental impact.”

“My business is located in an old brick building. In the middle of a roofing project, we had a call from the roofer explaining that they had exposed seriously degraded brick work around the top of the building, and that it was not structurally sound. I called Mike De Palma from Flintstones as I was driving to the office, and his foreman actually beat me there! Understanding that the re-roofing was very time sensitive as the building was exposed to the elements - the Flintstones crew jumped right on it. They got the job done on schedule and on budget. Every interaction with Mike or with one of his crew has been great.”

“Adam's a seasoned pro. Having ample experience in both design and construction, he has a unique knowledge into all aspects of the remodeling process. He handled my project with the utmost efficiency and skill. I could't be happier with the results and would welcome any opportunity to work with him again. I've already recommended him to friends.”
