Can Do More Painting – Renovation & Design

We had our kitchen and three bathrooms renovated. We
received quotes from two renovation companies. We chose Can Do More Painting - Renovation & Design. Their quote was significantly lower than the other company. Also their quote was much more in line with what we felt we should pay. We had also seen first hand a kitchen renovation that they had completed. We were very impressed.
The Project manager that we had was outstanding! We had great communications throughout the three month renovation. We were also very impressed with all the trades. The plumbing, electrical, painting, cabinetry, tiling, ceiling, etc were done to perfection. The trades people knew their business well. Also the recommended suppliers were great to work with.
The project commenced on time and was finished on time. We moved into our daughter's Bridgeland condominium during construction. We moved out May 26th and moved and back on the target date of August 26, 2024.
So bottomline the project is completed and we are very pleased.

Every step of the process with Can Do More was seamless! They were quick to respond to my request, so helpful during the color consult (took our cabinets from emerald green to mushroom beige) spent minimal time in the house and got the cabinets back on time in perfect condition. Zero complaints! Could not recommend them enough:)

Can Do More recently completed a bathroom renovation in my home and Im very pleased with the outcome and the experience. I was very nervous starting the process as this is our only shower/tub in the house. Weve all heard horror stories of bad contractors.
Starting with the initial meeting with John to discuss the project, I appreciated that he understood my primary focus with repairing the bathroom but also having a reasonable redo of the space. Can Do More delivered on that. I was able to remove/replace the problem areas while keeping the costs down by keeping the existing tub, sink/vanity and main mirror. The bathroom is quite small but I appreciated the consideration for costs and what was needed and not needed for my expectations.
Everyone I dealt with was friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with. The job was scheduled for two weeks and I had someone at my house every day in that time. There were a few additional items that came up but was kept informed and the work continued. The extras were nothing I didnt expect to see as the bathroom was 25 years old and had known water leaks. Before and after pictures to show the transformation. Very ugly and broken to very nice and new. The selections were all my own for reference.
I would absolutely use Can Do More again for further projects.

Can Do More Painting recently finished painting the main and upper levels of my 2 storey home. I am ecstatic with the results. Thank you to Camille for helping me choose the colour and thanks to Chad and his team of painters, Karen, Mike and Aubrey.
A special thanks to Karen who is a stickler for detail and made sure the work was completed with no imperfections!
The work was done in a timely manner and everyone was very courteous. I would definitely recommend this company.

My overall experience was a 10+. I wouldnt have expected anything less from Can Do More Painting & Reno. My experience from start to finish of the project, the entire staff go above and beyond.
My painting project was small but Chad was quick to respond and provide a price competitive quote. The Customer Service and quality of work are second to none. Its rare but refreshing to work with this calibre of professionals.
I could see Dillon takes great pride in his work. He was meticulous and paid attention to details only a quality painter would recognize. It was a pleasure to deal with him and have him in my home.
You wont be disappointed contracting with Can Do More Painting & Reno.

Our kitchen reno consisted in refinishing our existing kitchen cabinets from old oak to white lacquer paint and replacing the old laminate with Quartz countertops. We chose CanDoMore after meeting with their estimator who demonstrated great care in providing a meticulously crafted estimate.

Whereas the other estimates were quick and dirty (we even had to encourage some of them to actually take measurements), John was detail-oriented. As an engineer familiar with the challenges of project management, it was nice to see someone who cared as much about the project as we do.

They do not come cheap, but they also take on a master contractor role where all concerns can be funneled. Well worth it as we were looking for a long lasting reno, not the "dollar-store", fly-by-night patchwork that leaves a homeowner in the lurch after all is said and done.

The measure of a contractor - and ensuing review - is how well they respond to complaints. That is where a contractor will either shine or leave a sickening feeling in the homeowner's stomach. In contrast, anyone who provides services knows that there are also toxic customers who cause so much havoc (or have no intention to pay, unreasonable requests that get snuck in "for free", etc) that most contractors will become unresponsive to most honest complaints.

As it happens, we did have an issue arise during the project. Our brand new countertops had small nicks on the surface. They only became noticeable during the kitchen refinishing due to sanding dust settling in the nicks. When you pay thousands for a countertop, you want a flawless surface. Imagine driving a brand new car off the lot with a dent on the driver's side door. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it. It will bother you forever.

Now nicks and scratches will almost always occur during the manufacturing process, so our expectation was that the master contractor would fix it. And fix it they did. They did not point the finger back at us nor accuse us of being responsible for the damage. They did not ask for any other proof than pictures, so that they could plan the appropriate repairs. In the end, the nicks were gone and our kitchen looks great.

Every aspect of the work was detailed, the planning and scheduling was perfect and every phase of the work was executed on time. No "hurry up and wait" for sub-contractors to show up. They even accommodated my busy schedule (I travel a lot for work) AND my natural paranoia (I never hand over house keys to contractors). They worked with me and around my busy schedule, even adapting to last minute scheduling changes when I could not be at home for one of the last phases of the project.

The takeaway for me is that CanDoMore executed the project better than I had anticipated. Living in Calgary, I have gotten used to being swindled left and right by contractors, vendors and "skilled" trades. It's enough to turn someone into a conspiracy theorist. CanDoMore renewed my faith in the businesses practice of "The customer is always right". Their conduct is in my honest opinion beyond reproach.

Will I do business with them again? Absolutely.

Can Do more and his team finished our gut reno 3 months ago and we continue to be amazed at how good everything turned out. His project managers were quick to alert us when snags came up and worked with us to find alternatives. The guys set a high bar for themselves to make sure the job got done right. The bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, office, and living room were expertly tended to.

My renovation included a complete overhaul of my kitchen and bathroom, as well as some updates to my living room and bedroom. The work was done efficiently and to a very high standard. The new fixtures, appliances, and finishes have transformed my home into a beautiful and modern space that I am proud to show off to friends and family. Thanks Can Do!

I hired these people twice and they always provide me with great advice and quality work. Although their services are sometimes expensive, the results are worth it. I'm satisfied with the outcome and I know Can Do More will take care of me if I have any concerns in the future.

I discovered Can Do More online and decided to give them a try based on their excellent rating in the Best of Calgary list. I wasn't disappointed - their team is highly skilled and professional, with a focus on detail. From the initial quote to the completion of the job, their service was exceptional. I would definitely recommend this company and plan on using them again in the future.
