"We have found Gus to be honest and hard working. He is the eternal optimist! One of the things we most appreciated about Gus was and is his cheerful attitude. We looked forward to him coming over to lift our spirits and solve our building problems. We had complete trust in Gus's abilities. We feel he does high quality work and is the eternal perfectionist. And he showed us that he was willing to go the extra mile to satisfy us. We found him to very professional and a man of his word right to the end. He kept all his promises, he was truly a delight to work with. His experience and knowledge saved us a great deal of money and time. We just love our new kitchen and bathroom. We have recommended him to all our friends and they share our sentiments. If we were ever to do this again, he would definitely be our choice for a general contractor."

"Kitchens & Bathrooms By Design converted our small downstairs bathroom which barely accommodated a sink and a toilet into a beautiful full-sized bathroom with a shower. To do this required tearing down walls, jack hammering the floor, etc. Despite this major construction, they always minimized their mess and tidied up after themselves. The new bathroom looks fantastic and we are very pleased with the quality of their work. We unconditionally recommend Kitchens & Bathrooms By Design and will definitely be using them in the future. Kudos to the team!"

"We chose Kitchens & Bathrooms By Design after meeting with two other contractors. Even though they were a bit more, we felt comfortable and safe and ultimately it was our initial trust in them that made us choose them over a lower cost elsewhere. But in the end they came in on budget with no extras, I don't think this would have happened with the other contractors! In the end we made the right choice and I believe we saved a lot of money. They supplied us with references, made it easy for us to check them and after 2 calls, we knew they were our team. Our experience with them is that they kept their word, were on time and continually educated us in the process. So many of our friends said, "oh you're renovating, what a nightmare." Not this team. They actually made the process a fun and creative exercise. We felt in control and well taken care of. Our kitchen turned out beautifully. Their design capabilities are what made the difference and we were a big part of that creative process. They treated us and our home with respect it was a pleasure having them around, but it was also nice to see them leave, believe it or not we missed them for a while. We are grateful to them for keeping their word and approaching us as partners in the experience."

"My wife Peggy and I are old hands at the renovation game. We've had a couple of OK experiences, one very good and one total nightmare. So we were really gun-shy when it came to choosing a contractor to re-do our kitchen. The house has tremendous character - a high Victorian grand dame dating from 1882. It was important to us to find someone sensitive to our needs and the needs of the house.After meeting with a few "Kitchen" companies, which are in reality cabinet companies who work with independent contractors to get the actual work done, we were frustrated. Nobody could give us a global, all-inclusive quote on the job. A couple of contractors flat-out refused to do the job because it involved removing a bearing wall and supporting the opening with I-beams. Then Peggy found Gus Boulougouris in the Yellow Pages and from our first meeting (he was actually on time, a first!) we knew we'd found someone we could collaborate with. He quoted the whole job from soup to nuts and left us with a sense of confidence that he would make our dream a reality.

The project took longer than anticipated, mainly because we kept adding elements like roofing, new service entry etc. while we were at it. Gus and his team went "above and beyond" time and again. The project was an aesthetic and functional success, as the pictures attest (blue kitchen) and the experience was a pleasure. Gus took the stress out by being eternally cheerful and up-beat. We would recommend him to anyone. Feel free to call me at 416-925-4858 or email me at rweir@promotivation.net for more information.
