Barry Bruyere of Full Circle Renovations successfully completed at my
residence, a variety of small projects; new siding, an entrance deck and
restoration work. I found Barry and his crew to be knowledgeable,
accommodating and skilled in the construction of the repairs I needed.
Barry was diligent in making sure all the details were addressed and
resolved to my satisfaction

I would like to comment on the work that Barry and his crew did in my kitchen.
There were punctual, friendly, efficient and happy in their work.
The cabinets are beautiful and minor glitches were dealt with promptly.
The tiles on the backsplash are a nice touch and i'm glad Barry suggested them.
He even let me participate in the install of them so now I am doing some in the bathroom.
I highly recommend Full Circle Renovations to anyone who wants quality work at a reasonable price
done by trustworthy people.

We would like to thank
Barry and his crew, from Full Circle Renovations Inc, on the many
projects in our home. This was a wonderful transformation of our 1950s
bathroom into a handicapped bathroom
(we love our new bathroom and shower!), new windows, entrance door, hotwater system and plumbing,
plus electrical work.
Their work was meticulous as to detail, and the job was completed in a timely manner.
Barry helped us with the CMHC paperwork, for which we are very
grateful. We can highly recommend Barry and any of his crew to be
completely trustworthy while on the job;also they were courteous and
friendly,
and always kept us up-to-date, either by email or phone.
If we have any more renovations to be done, we will certainly give Barry of Full Circle Renovations a call.

We will hire Full Circle Renovations again. We were so impressed by
Barry and his crew. Their many skills, cleanliness, interaction with
us, artistic flair; all in all their true professionalism impressed us
so much. All this at a fee we could live with. Ours was a very
difficult reno of two forty-five year old bathrooms. Both now are
beautiful and modern and work with high efficiency.
Thank you Full Circle Renovations, we highly recommend you.

Barry and his crew renovated my home while I was away on holidays this summer.
I came home to a complete new kitchen which included all new cabinets,
custom counter tops, pass thru window with eating bar.
I now have an above stove top microwave with a built in exhaust fan. I
also had Barry install a through roof sun tunnel which lets in lots of
light in an otherwise dark area of my home.
I am happy to recommend Full Circle Renovations. Thanks for doing a great job.

I first contacted Barry Bruyere in March and my first impression was very favorable. He returned my call, we set up a meeting. and Barry arrived on time. We discussed what I wanted done. At first it was fixing my ceiling, painting the walls in my living room, kitchen, hallway dinning room and taking paneling off of a wall. Barry gave me and estimate and we set up a start date. Before the job started I decided to have more work done. New kitchen and bathroom counters. paint kitchen cupboards, paint bathroom, entrance way. Then we added crown molding and baseboards in entrance way, living room, dining room, kitchen, hallway, bathroom. As the job continued I added more things such as putting in a new toilet and sink, changing my space heaters and all the wall sockets, changing the thermostats, putting up new light fixtures, door bell, and fire alarm. I had many squeaks in my kitchen and bathroom floor and Barry got rid of them. No matter
what I added to the job Barry was open to it.
I went away for two weeks and most of the work was done then. I had no qualms leaving Barry while I left.
The crew that Barry has working with him were very professional.
As the job progressed Barry stayed within my initial budget till I added more jobs and Barry kept me informed with revised copies of the new costs.
Barry was very helpful with suggestions on how to make things better like putting two small doors on a couple of cupboards.
We were always in communication either by phone, e-mail or visits to the house. Barry was always on time and if he was going to be late he called to let me know.
Barry's attention to detail was unbeliveable. I would highly recommend Barry Bruyere to anyone who is looking to have any type of renovations done.

We first employed Full Circle Renovation in 2007 to install a
new kitchen countertop, tile backsplash, and tile floor and were so
pleased with Barry Bruyere's work that we called him back to do
the drywall mudding, ceiling repairs, floor tile and tub enclosure tile
in our bathroom. Most recently we hired him again to dismantle
and rebuild our carport, deck and balcony. Barry is skilled and
experienced in all aspects of home construction and finishing, is a
careful and precise craftsman, and is attentive to details, setting a
high standard in all his work. He takes a creative approach to
projects, makes excellent suggestions, and is pleasant and affable to
work with. We have found him to be reliable and honest,
completing projects on schedule and within budget. We plan to
use his services for further renovation projects around our house, and
have no hesitation in recommending him to other clients.

Full Circle Renovation:
Barry Bruyere did a renovation of our
upstairs bathroom. The bathroom was gutted and a jet tub, vanity with 2
sinks and toilet were installed. Barry did the floor tiling as well,
which was straight and level. His work was professional looking. Barry
was always on time, and if he was going to run late he called to let us
know. His work area was always left tidy and clean. Barry kept us
informed of what he would be doing and if there were any changes that
needed to be made. As well, he stayed on budget.
Barry is currently working on our kitchen renovation, which will include installing a microwave/fan system, installing a new dishwasher, rearranging and painting cupboards, putting together one set of cabinets and installing them and changing the electrical outlets.
We would recommend Barry without hesitation.
Sincerely

Full Circle Renovations installed laminate flooring throughout the main floor as well as did tile work around the fireplace.
Both jobs were done with professional results. Barry was helpful with
ideas, on site when he said he would be and very reasonable costs. I
can recommend full circle as i was happy with my dealings with them.

"Barry has done several jobs for us, including redoing our bathroom last year. He is efficient, shows up on time and most importantly, does good work.
Barry is so good at what he does that I have recommended him to over half a dozen friends and clients over the years, and they too have been totally satisfied."

Barry,
As you are aware, Hilda and I had had a couple of bad experiences
when contracting with companies to do renovations for us in two
different houses.
We were therefore rather hesitant to do it
again, however you made an excellent impression on us both when we
met..We were very pleased with the work ethic you showed and the
quality of the work performed. We also appreciated the cleanup of the
normal mess made when renovating.
We were particularly pleased with the fact that when you said you would do something you did on time.
The job you did for us was completed on schedule and on budget and we were pleased with the finished result.
We wish you the best. If or when you move to the Island and we will be
happy to pass our comments on to any potential clients you get,
Sincerely
Hilda and Mike Murrell

Barry has done two projects for me.
He replaced our back door which was old and odd sized and did great job of fabricating to allow him to fit a normal steel door. After 5 years it doesn't even squeek! Barry also levelled our old floor in the kitchen and laundryroom and quickly laid the laminate on top of it. First class worrk, priced right, we'll call on him again.
First class worrk, priced right, we'll call on him again.
So should you!- Pete Durrad, Richmond BC

TO whom it may concern:
Barry Bruyere has been involved in two renovation projects in our house.
1) In September, 2003, Barry (and Eugene Slowski) replaced our sundeck. They did so in a timely and congenial manner and we are pleased with the result.
2) In March, 2004, Barry replaced our kitchen countertops. This turned out to be a somewhat bigger job than anticipated. Our kitchen is old…put in by a previous owner…and the modern, preformed countertops didn’t fit easily unto our old cabinets. But with additional work and some extra bits and pieces, Barry got it in place.
We can recommend Barry Bruyere (and Eugene Slowski) for the
carpentry work they have done for us. It is also a big plus that they
both are easy to talk to, get information from, and are willing to show
and discuss the various aspects of their work.

We found Barry to be very knowledgeable and helpful in planning out our renovation and schedules.
He has good insight and made many helpful recommendations.
When problems arose during the job he handled everything with good humour and skill.
He is neat and keeps his job sites clean and tidy.
Thank you Barry - a job well done and we have recommended Barry to our
friends and neighbours with no qualms or worries. Barry is always busy
and completely trustworthy and work-site safe.
It was certainly a good experience for us to have him in our small home
and to help us get moved in and settled without the minimum of concerns
that always pop up on even the smoothest or troubling move to a new
home.

Full Circle Renovations completed interior house renovations,drywall,trim and tile work. The attitude was professional and honest.
The work done was accurate and the finish was exquisite. Barry also designed and built some set props for my children's TV show,
Wakanheja.This show aired on APTN and Alberta Access Network.
I would hire Barry in a heartbeat, for any artistic or carpentry endeavor.

To Whom it May Concern:
We are pleased to recommend Barry Bruyere to anyone who is considering having construction/renovation work done around their home.
Barry built a wooden deck for us in November 2001, and he carried it out in a highly skilled and thoroughly professional manner.
Barry was prompt, reliable and completely trustworthy in all his dealings, and we would not hesitate to use his services again should the need arise.

I am a professional horticulturist and designer, providing landscaping

carpentry related work such as fences,

the work he's done.
I would heartily recommend Barry because of his honest, professional,
and creative approach to jobs.

To whom it may concern:
I purchased an old farm house on Saltspring Island in the summer of
2001. It was in much need of structural repairs, jacking and leveling
and I was not sure what could be done. Full Circle Renovations did a
great job replacing footings and beams, and leveling out floors that
were almost six inches out of level in some places. On the second phase
of this renovation Barry and his crew returned and re-created much of
the trimwork to match existing heritage style. Hardworking,
knowledgeable and reliable,
I would happily recommend Barry for a wide range of renovation projects.
