little star renovations

We are now substantially complete our reno to the main floor and parts of our bathrooms. Our experience with LSR has been exceptional from day 1. They have a professional team who provides great quality of work. Their millwork trade they use is also fabulous - we are very happy with our kitchen cabinets, nook, and shelving around the fireplace.

Despite some challenges during the project, we are extremely happy with the end results. In particular, Sam, the Project Manager, has been exceptional in dealing with any of the issues that have come up. We know that in any project, there is always unexpected things that arises - the LSR team has been great in coming up with solutions to those issues.

We definitely recommend LSR and would choose them again for any future renos.

Freaking amazing company to deal with right form the owner Jobie to the entire team. They do stunning renovations and really handle the entire process properly start to finish. Just absolutely Wonderfull to deal with this business.

Overall not satisfied with our bathroom renovation experience with Little Star. They over promised and underperformed on the price, communication, time of completion and overall job.
Project management communication was poor and the original quote was substantially less that final price we had to pay and that was with taking off several items to get the cost down. Would not recommend Little Star, very disappointed with the whole renovation experience.

We loved our experience with little star! We started our project with little star fall 2019 to spring 2020 after a previous contractor didn't work out. Little Star was really great at listening and doing exactly what we wanted. They never pressured us in any direction and they gave us several quotes on different versions of our project which helped us pick what mattered to us most for our budget. Our project consisted of the entire bathroom and partially the kitchen. We chose to do most of the kitchen ourselves, but little star did the heavy lifting: removing a wall, and did all plumbing and electrical. They did a great job in both places. We love the kitchen space without the wall and the bathroom is* gorgeous! *edited typo

We love LittleStar. This is our third (fourth?) project with them - a whole main-floor & kitchen overhaul, plus bathroom, plus misc - and they were fantastic. Jobie has great ideas, Sam is brilliant on execution, and Pip is always following up, communicating and keeping things on track. If you want a contractor that you don't have to hand-hold, hire these folks.

The team at LSR were great to work with and were always communicative and accessible throughout our full house reno. Their project management was impressive and they used excellent contractors.

We hired Little Star for a renovation to the top floor of our townhouse. The reno took a little longer and had more hiccups than any of us were hoping for (due to some issues with one of the sub-contractos beyond Little Star's control). That being said, we appreciated Little Star taking on our relatively small project and we especially appreciated the way they made sure to follow the project through all the way to the end. For what it's worth, I used to practice construction law, and I had a lot of frustrated clients whose contractors eventually tried to bail on them when it became obvious that the project was too much trouble. Sam's and Liitle Star's commitment to the client and to doing a good job speaks volumes about the character of their company.

Now that our loft looks all new and bright, I'm guessing it's only a matter of time until we're back to them to complete the rest of their designer's vision for our townhouse. We definitely need a break from the renos, but we'll be in touch down the road (when the dog stops chewing on the drywall.).

Great service from the first visit to the last. The team they've compiled is really first class. I would wholeheartedly recommend Little Star to anyone looking for great work and service

Little Star Renovations did a small reno in my new condo downtown. They were both on time and on budget. The team was very professional.

My condo building is has some strict rules about contractors and Little Star Renovations was able to coordinate with the building well.

There were some minor issues such as the flooring ended up costing a bit more than expected, but they had told me that this was a possibility before they started work. Plus they accidentally broke one of my garage fobs, but they compensated me. Basically, there were a few minor issues, but the Little Star Renovation team handled everything proactively and effectively.

We contracted LSR to do a full Reno on our home and from the initial consultation to the completion we can honestly say it was an amazing experience. Jobie and his team are honest and trustworthy. There was never a moment when we weren’t notified up front of possible addditonal expenses due to the age of the home. LSR worked effectively with the permitting deptartment from the city of vancouver and definitely smoothed things over that we’re becoming stressful. The contractors LSR uses are kind and professional. The staff at LSR became like family over the course of the renovation. Costs were paid as different parts of the project were competed which was excellent to see. Communication with Sam, Jobie and the LSR team was on point and we never felt abandoned. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a local trustworthy and experienced contractor to contact Jobie and Little star renovations. We are so very happy with our newly renovated home.

As noted the overall quality and responsiveness of the core team and it's contractors was excellent. The only criticism relates the the sub contractors who were good at giving their workers good instructions, but they never seemed to follow up with a timely assessment of the end results. If it had been done, rectification of any significant shortfalls, i.e. More than mere deficiencies, could have been taken place on a more timely basis. In the one case, it may have made a difference between having the recessed ceiling lights versus the less desirable low profile LED fixtures that aren't recessed. At the time discovered any options effectively disappeared as correction would have required more time and drywall mess to achieved the recessed led lights. The other similar issues were less dramatic, but still took more time than was necessary.

They did not show up for the initial meeting to look at our reno project. No phone call and no text.

We just recently completed our second floor deck extension project. The Little Star team were great to work with from beginning to end. The start of the project had to be delayed by 3 months due to an unexpected personal health matter, but Jobie and his team were very understanding, supportive, and caring throughout.

Sam, our project manager, was always in communication and the quality of their work including the sub-trades they used was high.

The whole family loves the finished deck and we’re grateful to the entire Little Star team.

Little Star helped us with a few renovations in our new home in New Westminster. They removed a load-bearing wall and replaced some very sketchy stairs to our basement. They were a fantastic team to work with from start to finish and we would highly recommend them.
The team kept us in the loop with timelines and expectations, they contacted us immediately when decisions needed to be made, and they educated us on our options.
From their process to their friendly approach to their final finished projects, we were impressed. We will be calling them for our next projects for sure.

Thanks Little Star!

We hired little star to help with our renovation at Container Brewing. They're a great team, consummate professionals and just great to work with. Always punctual and communicative.

Little Star Renovations took care of the design and permitting process for our office renovation from March 2018 to March 2019. The process took longer than expected as the requirements from the city changed from submission to submission. Nevertheless, Jobie and the team remained diligent and provided a solution that met the needs of our office and the city. It was a pleasure working with Little Star Renovations and we look forward to our next project together.
