"When Michele and I started talking about renovating our home, we wondered if we would be able to act as the general contractor and successful complete the renovation we had been dreaming of for so long. We had been planning for a couple of years and so many times had reworked the details of what we wanted the house to look like after we were done.
When Michele and I started talking about renovating our home, we wondered if we would be able to act as the general contractor and successful complete the renovation we had been dreaming of for so long. We had been planning for a couple of years and so many times had reworked the details of what we wanted the house to look like after we were done. The focus was going to be in the kitchen area as we both felt that this would be where we would spend the most time as a family and as well to entertain our friends. The walls would come down...or would they stay up? Everybody had an opinion. Good friends of ours were in the midst of a big renovation and we loved the work that their cabinet company had done so we thought we would start with giving them a call and seeing what they could do for us. We heard the word "custom cabinets" and felt that it would likely result in spending more money than we had planned but decided it could not hurt to have a discussion. We call DK and Tessa set up a time for Damir to drop by the house and have a chat with us. You could tell that Damir had many conversations just like this one. A young couple with lots of ideas, lots of questions, and no idea of where to start. Damir had some great ideas and told us what to expect from his company and also what he expected of us as clients and also if we chose to act as our own general contractor. To make ourselves feel like we were doing what general contractors should do, we continued to get a few more quotes and kick a few more tires but we knew from that meeting that we were going with DK. First impressions mean a lot and we had a good one.
I was so nervous about cutting that first cheque to get the ball rolling but there was no looking back. The whole team at DK was so professional and helpful. We had a lot of questions but it did not matter as they were always willing to sit down with us and talk about any detail. The word custom was starting to have more and more meaning for us. We wanted it to look just right and so did the team at DK. The drawings got reworked a few times but we were focused on getting it right. This was going to be our dream home. DK knew it was important to us and they helped every step of the way.
They gave us timelines for when things would be done and they never missed one. Things happened when they said they would happen. People and products were always on time and they took wonderful care to ensure their work did not interfere with the rest of the progress in the renovation. Like any renovation, there were a couple of touch-ups to make and they came back and made everything perfect. You could tell that the team at DK was as concerned about it being perfect as we were. I was shocked the day the installer told me that he also constructed the cabinets in the workshop. He wasn't a subcontractor, he was also a member of the DK team. You don't see that too often. He was a master of his trade and it showed.
My wife and I cannot say enough about the attention to detail and the customer service of DK Fine Wood. They went above and beyond our expectations and we would not hesitate for a moment to refer them to our friends and family. Actually, we already have. Thanks again to the whole team and DK."

"I am so fortunate to have had DK Fine Woodwork Ltd recommended to me. One fine worker recommends another of exceptional quality and our total home renovation (an 80-year-old bungalow in Mt. Royal) looks like, and truthfully, is a new house.

Aside from the excellent quality of workmanship, we have had the unique and pleasurable renovation experience of working with Damir. His personal integrity and his crew of craftsmen work skillfully, happily, and efficiently side by side through all kinds of weather. As well, the project proceeded on time and at the price quoted by Damir.
I believe it is quite rare these days to find such skilled and conscientious builders who take pride in their work.
We thank you sincerely."

"Now that my renovations are complete I just wanted to let you know what this experience has been like for me.
This was my first experience with a major in home renovation. I learned that it is not an easy experience to go through when you choose to stay in the house! However, I felt very safe and cared for by your guidance and the amazing team of tradespeople that you bring to the job.

This was my first experience with a major in home renovation. I learned that it is not an easy experience to go through when you choose to stay in the house! However, I felt very safe and cared for by your guidance and the amazing team of tradespeople that you bring to the job.
I appreciated your honesty and concern for all levels of this job. You paid attention to my whole house. I needed a new roof and did not think this was anything you could do for me. When you found out I was looking for a roofer you immediately took over and not only did all the arrangements but were up on my roof as well. You paid attention to the quotes I had received and made sure I got the best quote from your roofer. You noticed a serious problem in my fireplace that could literally have burned my house down and you arranged to have it fixed at a very reasonable cost.
You did not pad these extra costs for yourself you just brought the right people to the house to fix the problem. I would have never known these dangers were there without you going above and beyond your contract with me and taking the time to explain what everything meant. You gave me a timeline for this major job and, with a few small delays beyond your control, you stuck to our arrangement. Who does that today? I was very grateful.
You came to me through my neighbor Dragon Krivic who is part of your team with his own painting company. Dragon is an example of the high quality of people you have on your team. I was so comfortable having your people come and go in my home at will. I never once felt afraid to leave your people alone in my home or to be in my home with them. I miss them. They were polite and caring. And the quality of workmanship that is now proudly reflected in my kitchen and bathroom is a thing of beauty.
So THANK YOU Damir. I will be an ambassador for DK Fine Woodwork Ltd and your team(Including Tessa!)"

We found Damir and his crew to be reliable, punctual, and courteous throughout. This pleasant and courteous attitude did not change in spite of the countless changes of mind that mostly occurred mid-project.

The craftsmanship, material, finished product, and attention to detail were all first class. Pricing was within the parameters established and there were no billing surprises at the end of the projects.
Of equal importance, all the small little things that invariably come up following jobs of this magnitude were promptly addressed. This was well after the final payment had been made and the friendly and attentive attitude prevailed throughout.
I would certainly recommend this firm to anyone that may require their services."

We have worked with DK on three (3) separate renovation projects to date – and have had the experience that everyone envies….They ‘show up – and on time -- and they work hard with the skills that have their roots in old country integrity and pride. Each and every one of the crew is courteous and thoughtful – we came to feel a friendship toward all of them. Damir Kolakovic, the owner of DK, is passionate, conscientious, and reliable…and demands the same from all of his crew and sub-contractors… only the best will do. We will not hesitate to contact them again and again for any of our projects large or small… DK excels at making a renovation as painless and enjoyable as plausible and they keep the site as clean and safe as possible. Results are always to your satisfaction or DK will not stop until they are!!
