Now that the dust has settled (literally and figuratively) on our new home, I wanted to write to you from our family.Over two years ago we embarked on this journey to design and build on our property. It wasn’t a decision we took lightly, as we had lived in the 1926 house that stood there for nearly ten years. It no longer met our needs, however, and houses we did see at the time for sale were either out of our budget or poorly built.Stu, David, Rob, Murray, Nikki and the rest of the Blackfish team:I was warned that building a house can be an extremely stressful endeavour.David: From the moment I met with you and you promised me spreadsheets and itemized invoices, we felt more at ease. Your organizational skills were paramount in this build going well. You said it would take longer and cost more, and you did not lie. I respect that.Stu: Your recommendations and ongoing progress reports during the demo and foundation were awesome. We kept all of the pics. The kids still talk about knocking down the deck and throwing rocks at the windows. I always felt I could ask you and get straight up recommendations.Murray: I really enjoyed talking with you on site and having your wisdom and experience in building our home. It was great knowing you and your team were there and I knew we didn’t have to worry about what was happening on the ground. It would be done right, or recommendations would be made by you on ways we could to do it better. I have meat in the freezer ready to trade for fish!Rob: I don’t even know where to start. Initially, I was concerned we weren’t going to have Stu as our “man on the ground” (given we had a family connection), but I can’t say enough about you as a project manager. Your attention to detail, calm character, and desire for quality craftsmanship have built our dream home. More than anything, I always felt you had a solution for our problems, and if you didn’t you would find one quickly. Dealing with clients in emotional and stressful situations, while building their dream home, cannot be an easy task, and it is one you have seemingly mastered. Many instances during our meetings, I knew my emotions were running high, and you were always there to get things done, and talk me off the ledge. I hope to be finally finished with “punch lists”.I would not hesitate to recommend your team to anyone building a house, and we feel lucky we chose you as our contractors.I am sad to leave our house in the morning, and happy to return at night.That truly makes it a home.

They are a personable business, accessible and reasonable. Your renovation or new-build is in the finest of hands.
Blackfish Homes took over a major renovation project from another contractor a few years ago. The first company made me feel very manipulated and, frankly, ripped off. Blackfish managed the project in a very hands on manner, often questioning my requests and offering better or less expensive options to my ideas. The interaction was excellent, the cost control very diligent and we ended up with a beautiful project that enabled us to sell our property at a nice profit. I would recommend this company without hesitation. Job well done!
