• Quality Standards

    OakWood precisely defines exactly what it means by quality…
    and has done so since 1956

Quality is easy to say – what does it mean?

A lot of renovators claim that their renovations are “built to the highest quality standards.” Unfortunately many of these same builders barely meet the minimum Ontario Building Code standards.

 

For OakWood quality is more than a word

Quality is a way of doing business. It starts on day one, from our first meeting and runs through everything we do:
 

  • Design, planning and building your project, on-time and on-budget.

 

How we define “Quality”

Here are a few examples of what we mean by quality and what you can expect when we do your renovation:

       What customers say…

    We liked the idea that they [OakWood] make use of project management tools and that the project schedule was updated weekly.”

    - Dan Wayner

    From beginning to end we found the OakWood Team to be imaginative in their design concepts, professional in their execution and truly focused on the satisfaction of their customer.

    - Gord Loney

    Despite some delays that were beyond your control, the renovations were completed and met all expectations we had hoped for.

    - Ruth and Joseph Dagenais

    Some years ago we hired OakWood to do a substantial renovation to the exterior of our home. A few years later some issues arose. We called you and you promptly visited with us to review our concerns. We are extremely pleased with the professionalism you and your staff displayed and the excellent work done to address the issues that had arisen. We are fully satisfied with your response.

    - Philip Cutfield

    In the space of about four months you took us from a virtually useless space to a modern kitchen that fit to the style of the house.

    - Jennifer Spence & Pablo Sobrino

    OakWood was our number one choice and will be on any future projects.

    - Carole and Lee Fasken

    The fact that after six years you and your team returned to “fix-up” a problem that only just became evident speaks volumes in relation to the pride of workmanship of you and your staff.

    - Bert Cowan

    Throughout the renovations, we have been most impressed by the high quality of workmanship and professionalism that OakWood provides.

    - Ruth and Malcom Vant

    The qaulity of workmanship is hard to beat

    - Rhona Lahey

    I now have a beautiful kitchen in an addition which exceeds what I had imagined was possible. It incorporates all of the features that I was looking for. People talk about the wow factor but now when friends see it, I get at least three ‘wows’ and a few ‘OMGs!’ to top it off. I am one satisfied customer.”

    - Linda Moran

    We now have a new home for years to enjoy! We want to thank the OakWood team and would highly recommend them to my family, friends and colleagues.

    - Mike Hanna

    We have lived here all these years and never realized how beautiful the view could be from a properly designed home

    - Jill Ellwood

    On the outside people are surprised to learn that the front addition is in fact an addition, the brickwork blends into the original house so smoothly.

    - George Haydu and Marie-Claire Douville

    Not a day goes by that we do not walk into our new kitchen and marvel at the beauty of it and the excellence of the work done to make it a reality…

    - Guy and Meredith Charlebois

    Oakwood helped us solidify our ideas into a 3D plan with tips, ideas and support from the entire team along the way! The finished product is beautiful!
