What customers are saying
Real stories from real clients. Here’s what people have shared about working with us and the results we helped bring to life.
The DBK Team was completely professional and wonderful to deal with. From the first meeting with our consultant to the numerous planning sessions, questions, revisions to the last day when they finished the project and the crew left, we could not be any happier. Special thanks to Stephanie and Nick, thank you!

With the professional help of Kelly Ouellette had our small corner shower removed and replaced with a beautiful 36″ x 60″ shower. Kelly helped us with choices of tiles etc. Service was polite and courteous with work being done in precisely time and schedule. Workers were always on time. Very happy with experience.

I already had an idea that Distinctive Bathrooms & Kitchens would make my washroom renovations worthwhile. Sara Akra was extremely helpful. She took time to listen to what I wanted then came to my home and took measurements. She walked me through different styles and materials not only to make my washrooms updated but at a cost that suited my situation. I never felt pressured to do things i didn’t want or could not afford. She has a unique sense of taste and class which was helpful again at a cost I could afford. She even called me to see if I would be interested in a vanity that was on clearance that ended up saving me money. So if you want a great sales lady with style see Sara Akra. Then the crew. What can I say Etienne came on time every morning did his job asked me questions when he wasn’t sure exactly how I wanted something which was great He never assumed. He would clean up everyday and worked hard every day. Great guy. Manny the plumber was awesome. He too came did his job and calmly worked all day. Mr McMaster the electrician was also a great guy. Did his job well too. Sonny would deliver the items and pick up all the garbage. There were other crew members too who contributed and I appreciated them too . They were done faster than they were supposed to be done and we are so happy about our powder room and main upstairs washroom which is so beautiful and updated. I feel like im in a hotel room. They even took out an old hair dresser sink in the basement and installed a laundry tub i had bought recommended by Sara. I recommend you buy lights at home depot as they do not sell them. If you’re going to buy light at multi luminaires beware that they may take 2 weeks to ship your order so get lightning at home depot. The electrician installed a new pot light in the powder room which looks so nice. All in all I am so happy as is my daughter and wife. THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR MAKING OUR HOME RENOVATION PROJECT A SUCCESS

We had our bathroom completely renovated in January with Distinctive. Our consultant was Kelly, a very friendly, knowledgeable young woman. Kelly listened to our ideas and needs and provided excellent advice to help us come up with a design. She met with us several times providing worksheets on products and reminding us if we were going over budget. We were extremely satisfied with the workmanship and timeline, resulting in a beautiful bathroom. We would highly recommend Distinctive and Kelly as your consultant.

We are thrilled with our recent home makeover! Our dreams have come true with the vision to open up our entire main floor. Anna was an outstanding Designer who listened carefully to our wishes, and the construction team was beyond amazing!
See for yourself! If you are considering a renovation, we highly recommend DBK for your next project!!

Huguette and I had our kitchen and three bathrooms completely renovated. Sara Akra was our designer for all the projects and we were very pleased with the design and results. Thanks also to the excellent team of coordinators, schedulers and workers who were in our home for 7 weeks until completion. We knew everyone by name and are very pleased with the high standards and excellent workmanship the workers displayed at all times.

We had our Kitchen fully renovated this summer. Kelly and her team were professional, organized and easy to work with. Kelly came up with a design that we had not even thought of. We are so happy with the outcome. We would highly recommend her to anyone! The contractors were phenomenal, they treated our home like it was theirs. Very respectful. The weekly & daily schedules that we received were very helpful. They definitely know what they are doing. If we had to renovate our kitchen again, which we won’t LOL, we would not hesitate to reach out to them. Fantastic job. Thank you Kelly, thank you to the contractors.
Kim Ericksen
We are absolutely thrilled with our new kitchen!!! Every time we walk into the room we’re amazed at how beautiful it is, how functional it is and how it’s exactly what we wanted and more!! Thank you to the whole team: Tanya Letourneau’s fantastic design magic, Dominic and Tania Galloway managing the project, Veronica managing the financials and Kim and Dawson and all the other trades people who made the plans a reality that we get to enjoy for many years to come!! DBK did a partial bathroom reno for us several years ago and we loved it and we immediately went to them for our full kitchen reno! We highly recommend DBK!!
