We met Chris as a referral from a friend. She had been very impressed by his overall professionalism. Upon meeting him, he went above and beyond that stellar view. He was kind to us, flexible with our timelines, and mindful of our budget. Honesty and integrity are the foundational principals of this person. Thank you, Chris!
We highly recommend Koru Construction for complex and large-scale renovations. They recently completed a massive house lift and build underneath our existing home, transforming it into a beautiful, functional multi-generational property.The project, led by owner Chris Oleary, was a success:- Timeline & Budget: The entire 9-month project was completed on time and came in very close to the original budget—a significant achievement for a build of this complexity. We had a strict deadline since we had to move out during the renovation, and Chris and his team finished perfectly on schedule.- Communication & Management: Chris was incredibly easy to work with and highly communicative, addressing all our questions and concerns promptly. His dedication to client satisfaction was evident throughout.- Staff & Trades: The entire Koru site team was professional, friendly, and delivered quality workmanship. Special shout-outs to the main carpenters, Wayne and Mitch, for their excellent skills. All the various trades Chris uses were also communicative and easy to work with.- Office Support: Ali, the office contact, was wonderful to work with. She is very friendly and helpful, always replying to emails and calls promptly.- Support for DIY: We chose to complete some of the renovations on the existing house ourselves, and Koru Construction was fantastic, providing us with great advice and assistance whenever we needed it.- Post-Completion: We have been in our new home for a year now and are absolutely thrilled. Any minor deficiencies we have had since moving in have been quickly and willingly repaired by the Koru team.If you are looking for a reliable, professional, and high-quality contractor I highly recommend Chris Oleary and Koru Construction.
Great communication, start to finish. Koru built us a garden suite and did a big reno on our main home. Excellent quality and attention to detail that continues to reveal itself. Koru is staffed by approachable, down to earth people at every level. We’re very happy.
With the myriad of concerns that come along with a renovation or new build, one of the most important is, can you trust the builder?Trust they will do what they say.Trust they focus on excellence.Trust they’ll be efficient and on-time.Trust they’ll be honest.Trust they’ll answer your texts/calls.Trust their team and sub-contractors.Chris and his company met and exceeded all of our trust concerns.Our sizeable addition plus full renovation on our rancher turned out amazing. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is visible throughout. We couldn't have asked for a better contractor and partner is such an ambitious project we wanted to bring to life.So, obviously, we recommend Chris and Koru Construction highly with no reservations!
Our family hired Koru Construction after interviewing several companies. From the first meeting Chris understood our vision, advised us of all the steps and milestones that lay ahead and then navigated the labyrinth of City Hall successfully. He obtained our permit fairly quickly as well as ensuring all our inspections went well. Chris is very hands-on and his staff, interior designer and sub-contractors are skilled and professional. Like any major undertaking there were some challenges, but Chris and his team responded instantly to any requests and three months later he still checks in. Our garden suite is not only beautiful, more importantly it is homey.
