Purple Properties Inc. - Luxury Interiors & Exteriors

We had the pleasure of working Rowan and his team on bathroom renovations for our condo (1 bathroom fully redone, second with just a new shower unit). I can not recommend them highly enough, from beginning to end they were incredibly professional, approachable and CLEAN! (Our building supervisors were so impressed with how conscientious they were of cleaning up after themselves they are now on their vendor list!). We are thrilled with the results, truely beautiful craftsmanship. Their quote was a little more than others we received but there were no hidden extras and the standard they work to makes it more than worthwhile. I addition to all of this, they are all genuinely nice guys, very considerate and eager to make sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the project (I was 8 months pregnant at the time). Looking forward to working with them in future.

Rowan has done quite a few jobs for us including a complete gut and redo of my mother's apartment in a century house. Most recently, he re-did our bathroom. Rowan asked if I would write a review over a year ago and I said "I don't write reviews. Contractors finish the job and things go wrong and you can never reach them again. I'm not recommending anybody".

At this point - Rowan has earned this review! He's gone out of his way on a lot of little details (including calling the tile store to ask if my very beloved dog could join us there so he wouldn't be left home alone!)

There are a few things you get with Rowan that I haven't had with other contractors:

1. MOST IMPORTANTLY - He stands by his work. Anytime we've had questions, he sends someone free of charge to check it out. We ended up replacing the wood baseboard below our shower with quartz almost a year after that reno. Rowan didn't charge us for the work of switching it out - just the quartz that would have been part of the cost if we'd done it that way initially.

2. Design. Rowan's not an interior designer but he could be. He has a great eye for details and for making things look great in the style that you like. My Mom's kitchen and bathroom are a very traditional style and the bathroom that we did is much more rustic chic. But both look really great in their own way.

3. Attention to detail. The existing light fixture in our bathroom was damaged. I liked it and didn't want to replace it. Rowan tracked down replacement parts so we didn't have to buy a new one. There are just a lot of great touches to the work - it's all very well finished and polished.

4. Considerate workers. The various crews have been very nice to work with. They clean up each day even in the middle of a project. They're friendly and respectful.

I don't recommend easily but I'm recommending Rowan and P2. I wish him/the company all the best.

I had a pool installed last year and hired Rowan and his team to complete the landscaping in our backyard.

Rowan presented various creative options using both permanent structures and horticultural options.

We ended up going with the combination of a tempered glass privacy screen and 8ft emerald cedars.

Rowan and team were very professional and accommodating . The finish product was very well done and compliments the backyard nicely.

The most valuable attribute a contractor can have is to run the business professionally and with integrity. We have used Rowan's services a couple of times now because he provides detailed written quotes, makes all appointments precisely on time, and the results have exceed expectations. He employs very skilled carpenters with years of experience and good people skills.

This was our third project with P2 Contracting. The first two were landscaping and this was the first interior renovation.
Rowan and his team are highly knowledgeable and skilled in the complete process of the renovation. From design to construction they helped us make design, colour and material choices that suited our tastes and budget. The construction crew, from demolition, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, tile setters, and plasterers, are courteous and skillful in their trade.

Thanks to Rowan and your Team

The workers were very professional and paid a lot of attention to details. I am very happy with their skills and the efforts they made for this project. The communications between me, Rowan and the workers went very well too. I will definitely recommend this company. Only one improvement opportunity: a sample of wood was not presented to me for my confirmation before the order was made, so in the end we had to use the wood whose color much much darker than which I chose, because the manufacturer presented on their website a color which was totally different from the real color they delivered.

Rowan was very helpful with the design of our new front yard and it looks great. He consulted about the plants to be included in the garden and was able to create a small ramp in the driveway to make it easier to move the lawn mower and the wheelbarrow from front to back yard. I have had many compliments from the neighbours. Rowan and Roy have been very good with resolving a few outstanding issues. I would recommend them for garden and landscaping work.

Having worked with P2 on past outdoor projects we did not hesitate to contact them when the front entrance to our home required a complete rebuild. The quality is superb and P2 stands by its commitment to customer satisfaction. There are never unexpected increased charges and they reliably attend to completing the job with diligence. When we suddenly had an interior problem with our master bathroom shower during the outdoor project, P2 swept in and assisted with that too. They quickly got the problem dealt with in a cost-effective manner while not sacrificing appearance or quality. We would and will, work with P2 again.

I hired Royal Impressions to do a number of renovations in my house including completely redoing 3 bathrooms, creating additional storage in my basement/kids’ rooms and completely rebuilding my front porch to name a few. And truthfully, a 10 rating isn’t high enough to describe the experience that I had with Rowan and his team.
Like many people, I have had the misfortune of dealing with some horrific contractors in the past – whether due to overcharging, providing sub-par work, telling me I needed to do work that I did not or leaving my home even worse off than it was – so I was already skeptical and a little gun shy before I ever met Rowan. But from the very first meeting, (which was supposed to be 30 minutes and turned into 3 hours), Rowan and Roy put me completely at ease, they explained everything in detail, they answered all my questions with clarity and simplicity, they dissuaded me from undertaking costly and unnecessary work (that another company had told me was required and of course, at a monstrous price). During that initial meeting, I found them to be knowledgeable, trustworthy, reasonably priced and calming, but I could never have guessed just how much more benefit you get when you hire Royal Impressions.
As expected, every person that Rowan brings onto the job – starting with Amadeu the Project Foreman, to each and every trade, are all professional, courteous and highly skilled. They completed the work on time, on budget and cleaned up after themselves each day (we lived in the house through the renovations). What I didn’t expect, was the length to which Rowan and his team will go to ensure their clients are happy and satisfied. They went so far over and above, I was truly astounded. Rowan spent many days with me, on the weekends, personally helping me select materials like tiles, or fixtures. When I chose a bathtub that I decided I didn’t like after it was installed, Rowan went on his own time and of his own accord, back to the showroom to source new tubs that he thought would work in the space and that I would like, and took pictures to send me. Switching the tub should have been an enormous and expensive undertaking – and with any other contractor it would have been. But Rowan worked with his trade people to figure out how to move the plumbing and wiring around through a small cut out in the ceiling below, so that I didn’t have to pay for the whole bathroom to be redone. And on top of that, when the store refused to take back the old tub, Rowan offered to help me sell it. His colleague Roy created and posted ads. Amadeu and his crew then delivered the tub to the new buyer’s house for me, free of charge!
That is who Rowan is and the level of service you get with Royal Impressions. He treats every client like family. He goes out of his way to help however he can. He holds your hand through the entire process, provides direction, feedback, comfort and reassurance when, like me, you have no idea what you are doing! And following his example and incredible work ethic, every member of his team operates the exact same way. Amadeu assembled all the new furniture I had bought for my kids’ bedrooms after we built storage, added carpeting and painted their rooms. I could cite a hundred more instances of Rowan’s extraordinary generosity, professionalism, quality of workmanship, treatment of the client, and willingness to do whatever it takes to make you happy. But the best example is simply that I will NEVER use anyone other than Royal Impressions again…Rowan, you are stuck with me for life now! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.

Rowan and his team are absolute professionals. The design was gorgeous, and the work was done with extreme attention to detail. I cannot recommend this company too highly. This is the second time we've dealt with them and we are very, very happy. Don't hire Rowan for a cheap job, hire him for a job extremely well done that will look good for years to come and add a great deal of value to your property.
