This was the second project for the renovation of a 1950's bungalow. At the start, the scope included gutting and replacing the bathroom, refinishing the hardwood floors, replacing doors and skirting boards, and painting the entire upstairs. Shortly after work began, we decided to replace the kitchen as well. Wallace Fleming took this sudden large addition in stride, and while of course it did affect the end-date, they were able to juggle the changes very well. Once again, communication was good, as a few more old-house discoveries were made and dealt with. We encountered some issues with the painting, and with a kitchen counter, which were sorted out professionally and well. (As we never doubted they would be.) In the end the new kitchen and bathroom are great. The hardwood is simply amazing (people comment on the floors when they walk into the house). It looks, from the inside, like a new house.

This was a basement renovation for a 1950's bungalow. The project involved demolishing to the bare concrete and joists, roughing in plumbing for the new bathroom, relocating the furnace and hot water heater, replacing all the ducting and plumbing, upgrading and relocating the electrical service, installing new windows, and then building to the new floor plan. We are very pleased with the results, it's a totally new world down there. But we are even more pleased with the project process from design through completion. Some highlights: - Excellent communication. One of the best things was how quick and open communication was. Wallace Fleming was quick to respond, quick to bring up issues and potential issues as they arose (and with an old house there were little discoveries at every step.) - The project kept moving and on schedule. Nothing stopped or hung-fire, the trades showed up as scheduled and completed work on time. - The trades were all good to work with. - The work was well done. - We would to give special thanks to Cochise ("Coach"). He was the onsite project manager and all-round guy. He is simply great to work with. A very large part of the project's success and our satisfaction with it is due to Coach. A second project with Wallace Fleming is now underway for the upstairs: new bathroom, new kitchen and a refresh of the rest.
