==The short version==

Our experience with Armada has been exceptional. Here’s why:

1.The team members—Gregg and Derek—were not only professional but also incredibly respectful, patient, and attentive.

2.The quality of our new space met our expectations, delivering on our desire for a modern, open floor plan with a spacious kitchen.

3.The post-move-in support exceeded our expectations, with Derek promptly addressing any issues and ensuring our satisfaction. Despite encountering a few minor flaws, which is common in projects of this scale, Armada’s dedication to resolving them thoroughly and promptly left us completely satisfied.

==Long story with honest reviews==

From the outset, our journey with Armada has been marked by professionalism, dedication, and outstanding service. When we embarked on our project, we had clear goals in mind—to transform our dated, cramped space (1980s house, so many walls to divide the space) into a modern oasis that suited our lifestyle and preferences (we want an open floor style, with addition to extend the house). This vision was realized thanks to the expertise and support of the Armada team, led by Gregg, Derek, Yana and Johnason Throughout the process, Gregg’s experience and patience were invaluable. Despite the challenges posed by our limited budget, Gregg worked to ensure that our dreams were realized within our means. His regular communication and willingness to address our concerns, no matter how small, instilled confidence in us from day one. During the build phase, Derek’s expertise and hands-on approach were evident. Despite encountering unexpected issues, such as a leaking pipe and 2nd floor joint space design challenges (with 2 different ceiling heights), Derek quickly found solutions and ensured that the project stayed on track.his proactive approach to problem-solving put us at ease. However, it was during the post-move-in phase that Armada truly impressed us. Derek’s dedication to ensuring our satisfaction was evident in every interaction. He promptly addressed any issues we raised, going above and beyond to make sure that every detail met our standards. From fixing minor flaws to addressing structural concerns, Derek and the Armada team left no stone unturned in ensuring that our home was perfect. (in details, after we lived in the new house 6 months later, we found some minor issues, they still sent contractors to fix them right away, without any cost, very responsive and responsible!!!!) I n conclusion, our experience with Armada has been nothing short of exceptional. Despite the inevitable challenges that come with a renovation project, their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to customer satisfaction shone through at every stage. We are thrilled with the results and would not hesitate to recommend Armada to anyone seeking a reliable and high-quality renovation service.

We recently completed a complete kitchen renovation with Armada. We have had some previous renovation experience, and we were very happy with the Armada process starting with design through construction. Pricing and schedule were transparent (important to us) and reasonably on target (also important to us). As the project progressed and questions arose, we came to solutions that made sense for both parties. Armada was conscious of our constraints (we had continuity through our sales person Robin) and we were able to preserve the majority of our requests and anticipate unknowns through the design process (with our designer Craig). Execution was very smooth and it was clear that Armada’s crews (and on-site project manager Jacob) were focused on getting the job done well. Jacob constantly communicated what was going to happen next in the project, and I never felt like I had unanswered questions. We were supported by the team in the Armada office as well. The actual construction process was smooth, and Armada made accommodations for our cats and children that made living without a kitchen for a few months bearable. And now that we have our brand new kitchen – it works well, and we don’t have any regrets choosing Armada.

Armada has been great to work with. They just completed our custom home, and we couldn’t be happier with the finished project. Derek and Sam (our contractors) were very easy to work with, very approachable and understanding. They made some complicated things happen for us and walked us through the entire process with patience and guidance. Like any big project there were speed bumps along the way, but they managed it all really well keeping us informed. We had a particular design vision in mind, and they worked with us like a team, making sure every detail turned out exactly how we wanted.

We engaged with Armada to remodel our theater/office room and to redo our master shower. While we do love the end product, the process was by no means smooth, with the biggest frustration being the multitude of change orders that kept coming. However, my rating is due to the people who were part of the project and the work they put in. Omar, our project manager, was a great partner. He was always available, responsive, patient and overall great to work with. He answered all my questions, big and small, and when he did not have an answer, he followed up right away. I particularly appreciate him taking ownership of mishaps rather than trying to swipe them under the rug and his accountability for fixing them and getting things back on track. Aya, our designer, was a delight to work with. She delivered my “not so neutral” vision, while gently advising and stirring us in the right direction. Many of the crews, in house or sub-contracted, who worked on our project did a great job. Big kudos to Aiden, who has a keen attention for detail and whose work ethic is something rarely seen nowadays, Daniel, the in-house tile expert who saved the day for the shower project , and to Sergey, the painter, who did a fantastic job matching new to old.

We hired Armada to remodel our main floor earlier this year, with most of the work focused on our kitchen and family room. This was a full remodel of the kitchen — everything was completely torn out, leaving the inner walls and studs completely exposed, and even replacing an existing window with 2 new windows (in different locations) — and then a beautiful luxury kitchen was built back. Other work included fully redoing the cabinetry in the family room, taking down a dividing arch (and associated columns) from our living/dining rooms, replacing the carpet in the living/dining rooms and office with hardwood, replacing lighting fixtures, adding new lights, and even building-in the (existing) subzero fridge into the garage. The end result is phenomenal and we cannot be more pleased. In short: – The quality of the work is outstanding – attention to detail, design, pride in the craftsmanship throughout; – In addition to our own happiness with the result, we have gotten consistently excellent feedback from friends and visitors, including folks from within the trade who would know — e.g. the City inspector who came to sign off on the work/permit at the end said it was one of the nicest kitchens he had seen in 25+ years as an inspector, the air ducts cleaning company owner (who does our annual winter cleaning) noticed the quality of the work and asked for a referral to Armada for project he was personally looking to do; – The design itself has some unusual innovation regarding the windows which came out of excellent work by both Briana (designer) and Alex (owner) in looking to address our specific requests related to sunlight with privacy — other vendors we spoke were not willing to try new things or did not have the expertise to do so; – The project management was great, Chip kept us fully informed of status and made sure things occurred when committed and any concerns/questions were promptly responded to; despite the inevitable challenges that arise with a major project of this magnitude (3 months), including have to deal with Covid related uncertainty and new regulations, Armada delivered within a week of the original estimate; – Armada’s crew were all clearly experts in their own areas of specialty, and did high quality work throughout; – Overall, Alex and the Armada team were highly professional and never cut corners even when it would not have been visible; a simple example — they installed new flooring even in spots below the new appliances that no-one could see except possibly briefly when the appliance would be replaced at some point in the very distant future. Many vendors would have not worried about the details that were not visible — that was not the case with Armada. While Armada is not going to be the cheapest quote you get, I’m confident they will be the best at a reasonable price. I am a frugal person by nature, and yet as a result of this project I’ve gone from initially skeptical to convinced that their work is completely worth what they charge. We are now looking to do another project with them (a new basement wet bar). I’ve attached some pictures showing the in progress and end state of the kitchen.
