Our Work Speaks for Itself
We hired Chrysalis Construction to remodel our basement after an extensive search and review of several contractors. It turned out to be a great choice selecting them. Our basement looks amazing now and we have received many compliments. The team was friendly and very polite. Their quality of work including attention to details was top notch. We received good advice, ideas, and recommendations thorough out the entire process which included building a modular tv wall and a wet bar. They sough feedback on their work as it was completed and were keen to please. At the end of the day, you want the best results, and we are completely satisfied and would definitely recommend them.”

We used the services of Chrysalis Renovations to turn the main level of an old century home in the Kirkendal South area into a modern space with an updated bathroom and kitchen. Edgar and his friendly and respectful crew members helped us to make sensible choices that will stay current for a long time and enhance the resale value of our home. As it usually goes with older homes, we encountered some “surprises” along the way which forced us to rethink our choices. Throughout this process, we received guidance and a thorough breakdown of costs. As a result, our renovation took longer than anticipated, but we are happy with the quality of the work and have received many compliments on the look of our old but “new” home.”

Chrysalis did an amazing job refurbishing our basement after a serious sewage problem. All the tradesmen were professional and worked in a really timely fashion. They had to work over last winter’s months (coldest winter in a long time). Our home is older and as such there were several ‘surprises’ encountered, all handled beautifully. Edgar met with us many times to go over our requests and to clarify. James, the project manager was always available and pointed out any issues needing consideration. I would highly recommend Chrysalis and will be calling them in the fall for further projects. Well done.”

We had the pleasure of collaborating with Chrysalis Construction on a complete home renovation and a new build project. Can’t say enough how great Edgar and his team were to work with. There was always an open line of communication, Edgar and his team were a pleasure to be around and always polite and welcoming to our employees and they did everything in their power to allow us to execute our section of the project to the best of our ability.

We just recently completed the renovation of our kitchen and we were very pleased, at the transformation that took place, as a result of the professional advices and quality workmanship, of Edgar and his team at Chrysalis Renovations. At each stage in the process, Edgar gave us great ideas and offered many options with various paints, matching appliances and contemporary fixtures. The craftsmen went over and above their regular assignments, resulting in factory like finishing on our cupboards. As the advertising states from design to finish, the quality is second to none. My wife Josie and I, would not hesitate to recommend Edgar and his team. Sal (Salvatore) Bagazzoli. ps – Great value all with very fair pricing!
Sal Bagazzoli
Had a great experience with Chrysalis. They redid our washroom and did a fantastic job. The project took a little longer than expected, but the results were absolutely worth it. Everyone on the team was friendly and professional, especially Eric, who was very helpful throughout the process. They paid attention to every detail and made sure everything was done properly. The quality of the materials and the finishing work really stood out. Communication was smooth, and they always kept us updated on the progress. We’re really happy with our new washroom and would definitely recommend Chrysalis to anyone looking for quality work and reliable service.

I have used them for numerous projects both large and small over the past four years with the most recent having been deck demolition and removal and outside patio built. I have always been pleased with the remodels inside and out and find that Edgar and his team cannot do enough to make the customer happy. Very professional and respectful They are on the books again for me come Spring with yet another project.
Gayle Ford
They were professionals right from the very first meeting. Their communication was always clear, friendly, and easy to understand, which made the whole process stress-free. They followed the estimate closely and delivered exactly what they promised, finishing everything on time without cutting corners. The team paid great attention to detail, kept the space tidy, and made sure I was updated at every step. I absolutely love my new kitchen renovation-it looks beautiful, functions perfectly, and has completely transformed my home. I would happily hire Chrysalis Construction again for any future projects and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work.
