Sept 2008

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.

Fall 2006
 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

Summer 2005
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.

Spring 2002
To whom it might concern,
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.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am a professional horticulturist and designer, providing landscaping services throughout the Vancouver area. When any of my clients require carpentry related work such as fences,
arbours and decks, I have recommended Barry and his crew.
Barry's creative artisan approach has suited the needs of each client to whom I have referred him. Everyone (including me) has raved about the work he's done.
I would heartily recommend Barry because of his honest, professional,
and creative approach to jobs.

Summer 2001
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.
