My experience with Castle Creek was absolutely excellent in every respect. Laurence is extremely professional and he handles everything in an open and honest manner. He was very accommodating and he kept me informed through every step of the process. He was always there to supply innovative ideas to maximize the space for my needs, while staying within my budget. He has a very reliable team of trades people and the quality of work they provide is excellent. The final outcome exceeded my expectations, and everyone who sees the renovation is extremely impressed. I would definitely recommend Castle Creek to anyone.

Laurence Cohen of Castle Creek Contracting Ltd. was my general contractor during the extensive renovation of my loft condo in downtown Vancouver in 2006/07. The work undertaken included a complete re-modeling of my kitchen and downstairs bathroom, replacement of the existing carpet with reclaimed fir flooring, tiling of the kitchen back splash, fireplace and bathroom walls, removal of existing steel barriers at the end of the upstairs living room and around the steel spiral staircase, the filling in of corners around the stairs and at the end of the living room to extend the floor surface, replacing bathroom and light fixtures and painting.I was extremely fortunate to have had the invaluable assistance of Laurence and his crew and the many talented professionals he involved in this project. My place has been completely transformed through their efforts and I am delighted with the results.
I relied very heavily on Laurence to navigate what was, for me, an entirely unfamiliar experience. I trusted him and his crew without hesitation or qualification; that trust was very well placed.
Laurence is a careful, conscientious and exceptionally capable contractor who has an excellent eye for detail, a creative approach to problem solving and unfailing optimism, ingenuity and good humour, even when confronted with difficult or unusual challenges (including those presented by my unconventional space in an old building). Laurence listens well, is endlessly patient and resourceful and inspires confidence with his obvious competence. He is also a very agreeable individual with whom it is an absolute pleasure to work. Laurence sets his own high standards, delivers top quality work and is everything a contractor should be and more.
Now that my renovation project is behind me, I appreciate more fully the extent to which I benefited from Laurence’s expertise and how his input saved me from making many mistakes. Laurence was a consistently available and always welcome wealth of information.
Looking back on things, I cannot imagine how this project could have been accomplished without Castle Creek Contracting. Certainly, it would not have been as enjoyable or worry-free for me as it was if Laurence and his very talented and agreeable crew had not been involved.

In the final analysis, good interior design is dependant on the focus and skills of the contractor and his trades. Our experience working with Castle Creek was very satisfying.

As the Interior Designer of a 10,000 sq. ft. commercial office space, I relied on Laurence at Castle Creek Contracting and was very happy with the service he provided. He was easy to work with, very accommodating, hardworking and delivered when he said he would. When an unexpected concern arose, I relied on the sage advice that Laurence provided. His common sense, quick thinking under pressure and ability to see various aspects of the problem allowed us to come up with creative solutions that ‘worked’. With Castle Creek’s assistance, the entire process went more smoothly and the client was very happy with the end result, which was fantastic.
