CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“I’ve never looked back after deciding to select Alcam to do an extensive and much needed renovation. It completely refreshed and modernized my space and opened up the kitchen while keeping within the original footprint, layout and some of the original character of the cabin that I wanted to maintain and incorporate such as the vaulted wood ceiling. Doug, Arlene and Alex were extremely professional and were able to visualize the space I wanted. They had top notch trades working on the project from beginning to end and provided very useful ideas and suggestions. I could always count on them to complete the highest quality of work. They paid attention to detail and worked hard to incorporate my specific wants and vision while also making the space as functional as possible. They were easy to deal with and displayed a great deal of integrity which is what I wanted in a contractor. I love how functional the space has become for my family. The beautifully redone fireplace and surround definitely stands out as the main focal point in our cabin. Thank you Alcam!” Cindy and Ben, 2019 (see photos under projects entitled Rustic to Chic)

“I interviewed the Alcam team after speaking with a few other renovation companies, and made the immediate decision to hire them for a complete reno of my house (flooring, painting, kitchen update, bathroom update, lighting update).  Since I have MS, my house is set up to recognize my disability and The Alcam team exceeded my expectations. They completed the entire project in 4 weeks and when I came home, it was to a new home that was all set up; I didn’t need to do a thing, except unpack.  Their commitment to getting the work done on time and coordinating the move-out/move-in process meant that this was extremely easy for me, which I appreciate immensely because of my disability. It was truly a pleasure working with Arlene, Doug and Alex; I highly recommend Alcam to anyone contemplating home renovations.” Hal, 2019

“From start to finish, we were very pleased with the project and will enjoy Alcam’s exemplary workmanship for years to come. Alcam worked with us to design and build a veranda on our home. From the very beginning, we appreciated the care and attention we received from Doug and Arlene on this project. Their trades team provided a high standard of quality and attention to detail. As the project took shape, we were provided with accurate cost projections, design options, and itemized invoicing. Throughout the project, Doug and Arlene communicated new options, and kept us up to date on the development. We highly recommend the Alcam team without hesitation.” Rob and Lee, 2019.

“Alcam did a great job listening to us and then presenting us with options that were both practical and creative at the same time.

"We feel very fortunate that Alcam was recommended to us. Doug and Arlene and all of their team were excellent to deal with throughout the renovation. They completed their work in the time they projected even though we added our master ensuite and tiling of the two entrances after they had started. They have good suggestions and recommendations and they deal well with the inevitable challenges that come up during a renovation.

"Since moving into our home a few years ago we had wanted to update the interior. We contacted Alcam on the recommendation of a friend and were extremely happy with the result. Both Doug and Arlene were accommodating in guiding us through the entire process, from materials selection, making our fireplace vision come to life, to recommending colours and finishes. The Alcam crew are true craftsmen and the quality of the workmanship and attention to detail is evident in the finished product. We would not hesitate to recommend Alcam to anyone wanting a major renovation project." Fred and Dalene, 2016 (see photos under project titled Natural Beauty)

"We were very pleased with Alcam's services. They provided excellent onsite supervision and kept us in the loop every step of the way.

Derrick and Tiffany, 2015

"My husband and I knew our home needed serious renovations. Over the years, we had heard many renovation horror stories so we knew how important it was to find a trustworthy contractor. We contacted Alcam because that's the company my parents chose to use for their kitchen renovations, and we're incredibly happy that we did. Right from the first meeting, it was obvious that Doug and his staff had the skills and technical knowledge needed to complete our renovation. They listened to our ideas and helped us make our vision a reality - no small feat since neither my husband nor I had ever been involved in a renovation previously. Alcam gave us reliable projections of the length of time needed for a renovation like ours, and also provided realistic budget estimates. All of the staff were very respectful and trustworthy, I never felt nervous about having them in our home. We are very, very pleased with the end result and it makes us happy to come home every day, and to have this beautiful space to share with our children." Kathy and Paul, 2015 (see photos under work titled Rejuvenation)

"Alcam has one happy customer.  I cannot sing your praises enough, Doug.  I have been very pleased with my association with you and your workers and the quality of the work performed.  You have employed most competent tradesmen - excellent work ethic and workmanship on the part of the carpenters, electrician, painters and floor installer.  All were proud of their work and perfectionists in their field.  I was impressed with the accuracy of your estimate for the cost of the project as well as the accuracy for the time frame for completion.  The job moved along smoothly from start to finish.  Thank you and I reiterate - one happy customer!"    Karen, basement renovation, 2015

"We found Alcam's representatives very customer focused and professional.   Everyone takes pride in their work and wants the customer to be happy. It really showed in the workmanship. All of my dealings with Alcam and contracted workers were very positive. I would recommend Alcam to my friends.   Katherine & Paul, 2015 (see photos under work titled Classic Design)

"As anyone might, we initially resisted the idea of hiring a General Contractor to handle our kitchen renovation, thinking we knew enough to be able to manage such a project on our own.  It didn’t take very long at all to realize putting Alcam in charge was the best decision ever!  The up-front project schedule outlined to us was very thorough, and every single task was handled professionally every step along the way.  All sub-trades were coordinated perfectly and monitored daily, and when the unexpected happened (and it likely WILL happen, regardless of project size!), it was efficiently assessed and resolved – all the time keeping us informed and engaged.  THANK YOU, Alcam, for delivering us a kitchen that continues to satisfy and excite!  Pat and Tammy, 2013 (see photos under work titled Zebras and Beaches)

"House renovations are always tough, because you really never know what you are getting into. When I decided to move forward on my kitchen reno, I had requested some quotes from various contractors and had issues with them even showing up! Doug was there on time and always accommodating. We went through a budget process and decided on timelines which I found much easier than anticipated. Through the whole process, Doug, Arlene and the crew were helpful in making tough decisions, respectful of my need for the balance of the house and always cleaning up at the end of the day. They were always communicating to me about the project status and provided a few good laughs at the same time. The final outcome was more than I expected and I would highly recommend Alcam for your next project." Walter, 2015 (see photos under work titled Open Concept)

"Alcam Project Developments recently completed work on a major siding and window replacement project at Arbor Mill Condominium, valued at more than $650,000. We are very pleased with the high quality of work performed and found Doug Stephen to be knowledgeable, fair and very reasonable to deal with throughout the project. The work included removal and replacement of all existing siding, soffits, eaves and downspouts, as well as numerous windows throughout the complex. A significant amount of wood rot was encountered and we found Alcam's time and material pricing for that "extra work" to be both reasonable and competitive. There was a minimal amount of disruption to residents and the site was kept very clean throughout construction. We would not hesitate to recommend Doug Stephen and Alcam Project Developments to any owner looking to hire a quality construction manager to complete their projects." Gary Seehagen, President, Arbor Mill Board of Directors (project completed in Fall 2014)
