Testimonials – Clients’ Feedback

After interviewing six contractors we were pleased to choose Tony Chebaya and Alma Building and Renovation Ltd to build our house.  From the onset, we knew we made the right choice.  Tony was involved in the latter design stage and added great value to this process.  During the building process, the structural engineering firm commented that the work and accuracy to the specs were the best they had encountered.  They went on to recommend Tony to other clients.

Tony worked hard to deliver the highest quality of work despite our tight budget.  Through every step of the process, He ensured that we were not stressed out and maintained a positive outlook and gave our project his full attention.  Our phone calls were always returned promptly and our questions were answered.

This contributed to us enjoying a brand new home with virtually no stress in the process.  Our home was delivered to us in less time than anticipated and within budget.  Tony is honest, dependable and dedicated.   We highly recommend Tony and Alma Building and Renovation.

We used Alma Construction for renovation on our home and rental properties.  They are very knowledgeable of building codes and can address all aspects of construction. They are caring and highly professional from start to finish.  They keep the site clean and deliver on time as promised.  We recommend their services to anyone.

As a Home owner I was happy to meet contractor Tony Chebaya, whom I met through a newspaper ad.  What I liked most about him is his thorough and professional approach in discussing my renovation needs and his willingness to address all my questions.  Executing my renovation in a timely manner, as a result I am very happy with a job well done.  I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a contractor who is honest, reliable and gets the job done.

When Tony first came over to look at our house and give us an estimate, my gut feeling told me I could trust Tony.   Not only has this proven to be true, but I can sincerely say we were blown away by the professionalism of Tony and of his subcontractors.   Tony and his team carried out the job on schedule, they were clear and honest communicators, they were friendly and personable, they were very respectful of our space, and they made every effort to keep the workspace and surrounding area as clean as possible.   The final results were beautiful and even better than what we had hoped for.

I heartily recommend Tony for your renovation project. You will be very satisfied with the results.

I would like to thank Alma Building and Renovation for the great job they did on our home. They were fast, efficient and did a fantastic job. Alma was also very competitive and were continually on top of the situation always making sure their workers were on time and making sure the “Customer” was Happy with the end results. As in our line of business “Customers” are always number 1 and Tony from Alma made sure of that!!

Our house has not only appreciated in value, but now generates a significant income that dramatically drops our cost of ownership with little or no impact on our own quality of life because the secondary suite is self-contained and the tenant is happy with the value they receive.  Tony’s team was always available and ready with alternatives and solutions as we moved along from one idea to another.  Material samples such as tiles, carpets, etc were within reason and appropriate to the costs, colours and effects we were working toward.  Construction idiosyncrasies and challenges were mutually assessed with the solution and any impacts well understood before proceeding.  We highly recommend Alma Construction.

As Project Manager of the Parish Building Maintenance Committee, I worked closely with Tony, from Alma Building and Renovation, to make sure that the needs and expectations of the parish were not only met but exceeded.  The new facility in the parish was a challenging project, yet owner’s rep-contractor coordination and communication was crucial in effectively completing the project on time and on budget.   Tony’s honest opinion and technical skills made this project a lot easier that resulted in a successful delivery of the project and a very pleased parish.

We used Tony Chebaya of Alma Building and Renovation Ltd. to undertake a complete the major reno of our newly purchased but 20 year old (and dated) condo in Kitsilano Vancouver.  In all respects Tony surpassed our expectations; he was very organized, attentive and promptly responded to our requests.  The sub trades he used all contributed to the final highly satisfying outcome which was executed to a very high professional standard at a reasonable cost.   I fully intend to use Alma’s services in future and hence I have no hesitation in recommending this company for any project you may be considering.

Please feel free to contact me should you wish to discuss the project Alma’s team undertook for us.

I write this unsolicited recommendation with regards to a company that stands head and shoulders above the rest.   Alma Building and Renovations surpassed all my expectations. Tony the owner is focussed on providing a ‘one-stop-shop’ experience for his clients, and unlike many others, he seamlessly delivers.

Tony takes care of all the details in a thoughtful and caring manner and is always available, patient, and responsive to questions and concerns.  This is a company that deserves to be recognized for their excellent quality, timeliness and above all accountability to their clients………this certainly was my experience.

I highly recommend Tony from Alma Building and Renovation.   He renovated my home office and we are very happy with the results.  He is also very friendly and helpful, and extremely reliable – a great trait in a builder, and a rare one.

After seeking a number of quotes, Corpus Christi parish engaged the services of Alma Building and Renovation and Tony Chebaya to build our new garage and storage facilities.. The company provided a detailed construction schedule which was adhered to as best as possible and timely project updates were provided to us. Mr. Chebaya worked closely with the parish committee before and during the construction stages.   We also used ALMA to install air conditioning system for our parish.  Now that the project was successfully completed, I would recommend this company’s services to parish priests that might be looking to obtain quotes for various building projects.
