Our Happy Clients Brag About Us
Karen Biffi, Realtor
"Kingsmen Contracting were amazing. Always on time, courteous, tidy and respectful of my budget. We redid the kitchen, floors, bathroom, and bedrooms. They also did the plumbing, new electrical and the painting. Now my airbnb is a total success and everyone who stays in the suite comments on how modern and gorgeous it looks. I highly recommend contacting them for a quote on your next renovation project."
I am a high-end custom builder and Designer. I recently completed the construction of a new 8,800 sq. ft. house on Piccadilly North in West Vancouver. I contacted Kingsmen Contracting to carry out some formwork and to install some interior doors, a large exterior door and wood panels above fireplaces and on feature walls. Everything was completed on time and to budget. The work was difficult due to its custom nature and size of the areas that had to be covered. Time and time again these guys came up against challenges and overcame them with ingenuity and on the fly design. I will definitely be using then on future projects. I will definitely be using them again.

CARPENTRY FINISHING FOR CUSTOM BUILDER
KITCHEN RENOVATION
I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly and efficiently that they transformed my 1970’s kitchen into a modern, functional and beautiful bright space. From demolition to finished product took less than a month-about 15 working days, plus a week off while waiting for the window to be delivered.
The project included gutting the old kitchen, installing new cabinets, countertops, flooring, backsplash, a new window, lighting, appliances and painting.
They were very responsive to any questions I had or changes I wanted to make throughout the whole process from planning to completion. They listened to my requests for items such as a pullout pantry and spice cupboard and a ‘magic’ corner cupboard and figured out how to incorporate them into the limited space. They made it comfortable for me to stay in the house during the renovation by moving my fridge to outside the blocked off work area, and keeping the old kitchen sink accessible until the new one was installed.
They were great to work with and dealt with the few small issues that arose quickly, making sure I was happy. They did quality work and finished the project on time and on budget-a rarity in the renovation world. I would highly recommend Kingsmen Contracting!
KATE LEKAS
Basement Renovation, North Vancouver
"Kingsmen—Michael and Lee—were hired to create a separate suite in the basement of our house in case we needed it in future. They did a great job for us: on time, on budget—and actually added quite a few extras. Our whole basement looks vastly improved! Thanks guys!"
KITCHEN RENOVATION
I am thrilled with the quality and standard of work Kingsmen Contracting did on my kitchen renovation.
Even before the renovation started, and during the pandemic lock-down, they moved the project along as much as they were able to (having their electrician and plumber apply for permits, getting kitchen drywall tested for asbestos, bringing me samples of cabinet doors and flooring, and getting drawings done and redone based on my requested changes). They suggested I get a pull-out pantry which I didn’t consider before and now it is one of my favourite features of the new kitchen.
When lock-down restrictions eased, they began the renovation. I am working from home and was home every day of the renovation so I was able to observe how they work.
Kingsmen Contracting set up a dust barrier between the work area and my living space. They planned the work efficiently so that they, the electrician, the plumber, and the painters could do their work on specific days without getting in each other’s way and to keep the project moving along without any delays. At the end of each day, they bagged and took the day’s debris away for disposal, put their equipment and supplies in place, and swept and vacuumed the area.
They hired established and skilled tradespeople for the electrical, plumbing and painting work, and introduced me to them before they began their work (which I thought was a nice touch). They informed me of any issues they encountered and were forthright about the cost of an unforeseen plumbing issue that needed to be rectified to meet code.
I was impressed with their attention to detail and doing things right. They clearly take pride in their workmanship. I live in a condo building and none of my neighbours complained during the entire renovation. Instead, a neighbour told me how impressed he was with the way they worked.
I would hire Kingsmen Contracting again without hesitation because I trust them, and of course, the quality and finish of my beautiful new kitchen speaks volumes. Throughout the renovation, they kept telling me that my happiness was the most important thing to them. And I am a very happy client. Thank you, Kingsmen Contracting!

BASEMENT SUITE RENOVATION
Before I chose Kingsmen Contracting I had about 8 companies that had come in and given me a quote. How Kingsmen Contracting stuck out from the “well-advertised” companies was they didn’t give you the sales talk, they talked about the dream and vision that we had.
Soon after speaking to Kingsmen on the phone, I booked a free estimate with them. They showed up to our place with their trades (plumbing, electricians, HVAC) I was truly amazed, this was the first company that did that!
I was able to ask questions from not only the plumbing, HVAC side but we got talking about all the details and the vision. Before they left they had told me that this was the team that was going to take part of the reno should they be chosen, and having different trades coming in randomly is not how they do business. This gave me a huge sense of security knowing that these are the faces that would be working on our place.
Soon after we choose them, we started to see the hard work they would put in. There were days where they would start from 8am and work till 8pm, the dedication I saw in there eyes was remarkable! They were more excited about our reno than I think we were!
These guys felt like family they were very kind, courteous and looked out for not just each other but our family (this is not something you see in the trades world). As our vision came to life they listened to our needs and made sure they were attended to. We had full control of our renovation along the way they gave guidance and helped point us in the right direction for decisions.
They met with the city of Vancouver which takes a while for permits. They were always the first ones in the morning ready to go for any city inspections and weren’t shy to ask the tough questions to the city.
As far as punctuality they always arrived early, they waited in their trucks until ready to start work. If they were going to be even 10 min late they would call or text.
Overall, we felt that we were in good hands from start to finish. Our basement renovation by Kingsmen Contracting was far more than we expected and couldn’t be happier! I would be very happy to recommend them to anyone. We honestly need to see more renovation companies like this!
Thank you Kingsmen Contracting!!! – we feel we live in a luxury home after your renos!
