What customers are saying
Real stories from real clients. Here’s what people have shared about working with us and the results we helped bring to life.
We had our ensuite bathroom renovated. DBK did an amazing job. Excellent workmanship and well coordinated throughout the project. Friendly, courteous and very clean after each work day. Great Company to deal with. Highly recommend them you won’t be disappointed. Dennis and Debbie Charette.
Dennis Charette
We wanted a one-stop shop to tackle the largest and most stressful renovation we’ve ever done (complete kitchen Reno). DKB was very competitive in costs and coordinated every aspect of the work; design, demo, plumbing, electrical, drywalling, flooring, installation… all of it!
From our first meeting for consultation and subsequent design appointments with Julianna, we knew we made the right choice. Her design was EXACTLY what we had hoped for and needed in a kitchen. We appreciated her time and expert guidance throughout that all important foundational piece of this massive (for us anyways) undertaking.
Job foreman Kim was a phenomenal partner to work with on this as well. Professional, courteous and obviously skilled to no end. He really brought Julianna’s designs to life and did so with an attention to detail that showed just how much pride he takes in his work.
Tania was our coordinator and kept us in the loop in terms of scheduling and what to expect each day, and each week. She also was quick to respond to questions we had or any issues that popped up.
The whole DKB staff are incredible.
We hope to have them back to help us update our three bathrooms one day. Can’t recommend enough.

we completed our dream master bathroom renovation in janaury 2026 with the amazing DBK – this company were professional and supportive from start to finish and our designer at DBK Julianna “Anna” Dykstra was amazing as were all of the trades persons and we were shocked that the project install from start too finish took 2 weeks – we will be returning to DBK and can 100% recommend this company if you are considering renovations ! – sharing the before and after pictures to show the fabulous work!

We completly renovated our kitchen.We worked with Anna dykstra for the design. She was really good in guiding us with our selection of items and design. She captured everything we had in mind and more. She listened, did not apply any pressure, she was timely with her deadlines. Michael was the installer. Very polite, extremely meticulous, clean and organized. Overall it was a great experience. We plan to do our ensuite bathroom soon and our daughter’s bathroom at her condo and we will definitly be working with Anna for these projects.

We are absolutely thrilled with our new kitchen!!! Every time we walk into the room we’re amazed at how beautiful it is, how functional it is and how it’s exactly what we wanted and more!! Thank you to the whole team: Tanya Letourneau’s fantastic design magic, Dominic and Tania Galloway managing the project, Veronica managing the financials and Kim and Dawson and all the other trades people who made the plans a reality that we get to enjoy for many years to come!! DBK did a partial bathroom reno for us several years ago and we loved it and we immediately went to them for our full kitchen reno! We highly recommend DBK!!

We used DBK to replace our old, ugly tub with a beautiful new shower. We also had them redo the tile on the floor. We were very happy with the process from the design work done by the talented Sara to the finishing/tidyiing details done by Charles. Simon did a fantastic job of keeping us up to date on what was happening next. Kudos to O’Reilly (Asbestos abatement), Dan, Manny, Michael and especially Charles. A great group of hardworkers. This has been one of the best run projects that I have ever been a part of. We highly recommend using them!

I want to thank the DBK Ottawa team for the successful renewal of my Kitchen. Emily (Meechan) using her talent and ability translated my general comments into a comprehensive design which included accessories, couleur scheme and cost. Emily personality made that process extremely easy for me. Them, Kim, and Dennis took Emily’s plans and started the installation process. I was surprised to see my kitchen appearing under my eyes. throw-out the project I could appreciate Kim’s experience and workmanships. I realize that the successful completion of the project also needed people to manage the logistic of the project. Their dedication made sure that materials arrived promptly and the efforts of various trades were well coordinated. It is the second time that I use DBK for kitchen renovations and I am happy with my decision both times.

Recently had a tub to shower conversion and we were very happy with the entire process and the completed work. We initially dealt with Kelly who we found to be very knowledgeable and helpful and who did an excellent job of helping us to choose and get started with the project. There was regular communication regarding job scheduling and everything happened when it was supposed to, and the way we wanted. The workers did a great job and communicated exactly what they were going to do each day. Without question we would use them again. Based on our experience I would highly recommend this company.
