What our clients say
When we finished the project part of me wished we could start another project right away. I gather that’s not the way people generally feel at the end of a huge renovation. I chalk that up to James and Louise Laird and the team they’ve built at RenovateMe. If I ever move from my dream home and have to renovate another property I wouldn’t even get a bid from anyone else.
Cynthia Pratt, AtawhaiThroughout the renovation the communication was easy; James and Andy were available to answer questions, skillfully navigate all the building inspections and help with suggestions when we weren’t sure ourselves. Cam the foreman ran his building crew with a great team spirit, and they kept a high standard of workmanship.
Jonathan & Dominica Cresswell, RichmondRenovate me took care of everything. This included the daunting task of getting drawings done and working with the council for approval and inspections. I am confident that the best contractors in town were used by renovate me. Problems came up along the way but they were resolved quickly, sensibly and economically.
Elise Doyer & Chris Harris, AtawhaiMoving to a new town, it was good to meet with James early on and talk through the project. I like James’ direct manner and down to earth approach. James employs an experienced team and his contractors have gone the extra mile to help. Working with RenovateMe as the project manager has been ideal. I don’t chase contractors and James sorts stuff out.
