Hear From Our Happy Homeowners

What first sparked the idea to renovate the kitchen?
The idea came up when Richard suggested giving the kitchen a fresh start. Louise wasn’t quite sure at first; everything seemed to be working fine. But over time, things started to feel off. The cupboards were no longer aligned, the white cabinets had turned yellow, and the space felt increasingly closed in. That’s when the decision was made to explore renovation seriously.
A clear vision wasn’t there yet – just a strong need for change.
The couple knew they wanted something more open and easier to use but didn’t know where to start. One day, Louise was chatting with a friend at the gym and that friend recommended DAMCO. Louise reached out and from the very first chat, everything felt easy. “We didn’t know what would work in our space. DAMCO made the whole process simple and gave us great ideas.”
DAMCO made the design process easy and clear.
From the first consultation to the final touches, the experience was smooth. The Damco team helped Louise and Richard imagine a kitchen that worked better and even suggested removing a wall to open the space up completely. That idea turned their old, closed kitchen into a bright, open area where everyone could cook, talk, and spend time together.
“I used to feel like I was stuck in the kitchen while everyone else was chatting. Now, it feels like we’re all together.”
The tradespeople were reliable and respectful.
One thing Louise and Richard really appreciated was how professional the trades were. They arrived on time, cleaned up after themselves, and did quality work. In fact, they were so impressed, they hired a few of them again for other small jobs around the house.
“They made the whole renovation easy. It’s rare to find a team you can trust like that.” They faced some small challenges — but managed well.
Like most renovations, there were a few temporary challenges. The couple had to store everything in the garage and didn’t have easy access to water for a while.
“It felt like camping at home! But honestly, once the kitchen was done, we appreciated it even more.” Favourite part of the new kitchen? The oven!
Louise loves the new oven, not just how it looks, but how it fits into the kitchen design and works perfectly. But overall, it’s the layout and flow of the space that makes the biggest difference.
Summing up the experience in three words:
Friendly. Efficient. Quality. Each step of the process was clearly mapped out. There was always a sense of what to expect, which took the stress out of a big home project.
“We always knew what was happening and when. The schedule was clear and easy to follow, and everything was done on time.”
Would they recommend DAMCO? Absolutely.
Louise and Richard say they wouldn’t hesitate to recommend DAMCO, especially to someone who isn’t sure where to start. “DAMCO gave us clever, practical ideas that we wouldn’t have thought of ourselves.”
Thinking About Renovating? Here’s What Louise and Richard Suggest.
Don’t worry if you don’t have all the answers at the beginning. Working with a team like DAMCO makes it simple. “Even small suggestions, like where to put the bin or spice rack, made a big difference. It all just worked.”
Final thoughts?
This wasn’t just about updating finishes. It was about creating a space that brings people together. What was once a closed-off kitchen is now a vibrant, welcoming part of the home. The result is more than just functional. It feels like the way the home was always meant to be. “Thanks to DAMCO for helping us build a great kitchen.”
